I assumed it was simply another reference. http://www.spiderwebforums.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=236883#Post236883 http://www.spiderwebforums.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=245800#Post245800 [Edit: Curses! Dikiyoba was foiled by copy and paste once again.]

Kind of a mismash ending. The PC remains with the rebels and helps release the Unbound. The Unbound inflict damage on Shaper territory, but they aren't nearly as strong as they were made out to be in G4. Miranda dies, but Alwan escapes (though permanently crippled). Dikiyoba.

Search the forums for Geneforge fanfiction. There are already a lot of unfinished Geneforge tales around. You're more than welcome to write whatever you want, of course. Dikiyoba recommends that if you write something, that you start small. Short stories are a whole lot easier to follow through on than novels and Dikiyoba for one isn't interested in following something that probably won't ever be finished.

You can't applaud him for making a bunch of bad puns and then facepalm him for the next one. Dikiyoba dislikes being part of the human race. All that running leaves Dikiyoba with no time to stop and key out the roses.

Gunnar: "Every time I leave you guys I nearly get killed in some rather fashionable way. I say we stay together for my own safety." Samos: "Mmm, trout." Selkim: "If you need anything else, don't tell me. We raided a caravan yesterday and my dice feel lucky tonight." Dikiyoba.

If you're just going to cite a stupid source, you're better off not citing at all. Dikiyoba is a PC user. Apple laptops tend to require a special adaptor for connecting to projectors and cost more, and it's not like Dikiyoba really pushes any limits when Dikiyoba edits photos, so PCs have a slight edge.

Yeah, the little Bless+Haste bit doesn't look so impressive now. Pretty sure Avatar is an Exile spell. The invulnerability from Arcane Shield is great, but Sanctuary kind of sucks. Beast Ceremony is great but has the limitation of being able to be cast beforehand, so it's only useful if the Avernum party ambushes the Exile party. Besides, the Exile vs. Avernum fight already happened. It's called Nobody's Heroes. The Avernites get their butts kicked. Dikiyoba.

Originally Posted By: Sylae I hoard. Really, you have no idea. I went on a Hoarders binge over the summer, so I'm pretty sure I do. Dikiyoba collects dinosaur models, feathers, and, if they happen to be clean enough, animal bones.

Look for the shade that starts in the upper left corner of the crypt. When you get close enough, it'll move elsewhere. Keep following it. Eventually, the gate will open and it'll be inside waiting for you. Be ready for a fight. Dikiyoba.

No one has brought up the possibilities of fire (both house fires and wildfires) yet. I don't know what the statistics or total cost is, but given the cost of just one big, out-of-control wildfire, it might make sense to ban smoking in certain outdoor areas as well. Dikiyoba.

Originally Posted By: Arancaytar References to references to inside jokes about inside jokes are what Spiderweb is built from. That's not the right reference.

3c/e/g And just to clarify, Dikiyoba chose 3e based on debilitating reactions such as Kelandon's description or worse, not merely just a dislike of the smell.

Quote: —Alorael, who can't remember any appearing before A3 either. It's possible that they're a one-game wonder. They are definitely in A2. Dikiyoba can't remember about A1, but suspects they are there too.

Harehunter: Answer Slarty's question, please. Originally Posted By: Slartucker Are you seriously questioning that long-term inhalation of second-hand smoke can cause medical conditions? Dikiyoba.

Yes, Dikiyoba has just been busy with class and having problems with the Internet at home. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

You know, these really shouldn't count unless the capitalization and everything is right too, and not just the spacing (especially since the spacing doesn't even work right for Dikiyoba on this one).

Between new taxes on now-legal drugs (which would have to be low, obviously, or else people are still going to by them illegally) and all the money that now doesn't have to go into arresting, prosecuting, and locking up drug users, there should be some extra money to spare for health care.
