  1. I wouldn't know. I only ever did two. Since you've already done three though, your ending has been decided, so you may as well do the other one.
  2. You can't make them leave peacefully, so you'll have to fight them. You only need to complete two of Melanchion's missions to get the endgame, if you want Avernum to stay in power. If you support Avernum, I would do only the Slith and the Darkside Loyalist missions.
  3. Its up to people to believe. Just because he's on a "serious" station doesn't change the message.

The extent to which Carlin stretched the truth was that he was a stand up comedian and that is their JOB. It is a necessary component of comedy. Beck is acting as a serious analyst of politics & the news and he is saying things WAYYYYYYYYYY more untruthful than anything Carlin could have imagined! He is not just exaggerating for comedic purposes(as John Stewert or Stephen Colbert might). He is literally asserting that Obama(and pretty much every other Liberal) is trying to MURDER all good Americans through a variety of impossible conspiracy schemes. That was point I was getting at. Glen Beck is stretching the truth and facts to an irrational extreme, like George Carlin did. Also like George Carlin, he shouldn't be taken seriously, because like previous posters have suggested, the only reason Fox is keeping him on the air is the plublicity he's getting. I also reject that Beck is going farther then Carlin did. Carlin completely uprooted the possibility of a supreme power and declared that the unalienable rights most people enjoy are nothing more then privileges, that an. Beck is stating that Obama is some sort of secret Marxist leader that is attempting to overthrow the current ultimate power of the world and replace it with a Soviet-esque regime. I know that sounds like I'm being self-defeating wording it like that. The way I see it though, Carlin was saying every citizen of America is really completely out of control of their government (which has happened to past nations), and Beck is asserting that our government and economy are intentionally being forced into collapse. The thing that connects them is both are too opinionated and shouldn't be taken seriously. Sure, Glen Beck is on a "serious" news station instead of HBO, but the best stars are the ones that stand out. He never cites his sources or explains where he gets his upsurd accusations, so he isn't a real news anchor, and therefore should not be treated as such.
  5. He isn't any more of a radical then George Carlin was.
  6. Thanks. I ended up joining the Young Writers Society's online forums. I'll look into DeviantArt too.
  7. You mean stealing all his stuff? I think he'll come out and kill you if you do that. Killing him has a major affect on the ending.
  8. Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could upload things I've written (I hope to be an author) to get feedback and criticism. I could use Freewebs, but those sites tend to be very isolated, and I'd like something that would get more traffic. Thanks! -- Acky

    Tesla Coils

    Err, play Fallout 3?
  10. After reporting Kalyns death, the Crystal Pylons will be activated south of Fort Monestary, so you won't have to make the boat trip there. As for the sliths, I've never tried it, so I wouldn't know.
  11. But it hasn't gone down enough. Or so they claim.
  12. I should be able to make this one.
  13. From a political standpoint, I don't really agree with them. The core of their members are well off middle class families. From my understanding, the health care bill will help poor people primarily, while putting more stress on the upper and middle class families. Which is fine. I can understand them not wanting to loose money. But they seem to think that anyone can work hard and live the "American dream". This is not so. There is an alarmingly large percent of our population stuck in a cycle of poverty they cannot get out of. Still, I can't really hate them for trying to hold on to their money. I would certainly do the same if I was in their positions. What I don't like is the constant, belligerent attacks they endure about their supposed racism. Its just flat out not true or accurate at all. Having actually been to a Tea Party rally, I didn't see anything hostile about it. It's a peaceful protest, if for reasons and means I don't agree with. Most of them were caucasian, true, but that's just because the majority of white people are better off financially, while black people are still integrating into "upper" society, (Of course, maybe if we didn't spend all our money on rims and liquor we'd actually have some money >_>) so it really isn't a racism problem.
  14. Ask them about the mission and the triad. I know they tell you where the tunnel is. If not, just head northeast of Formello til you get there. It'll be eary enough.
  15. Spoilers Go to the northeast corner of the Formello cave. Look around for a mage. He's opened up a way to get to Formello (and the Impaler) by burrowing underneath it. Alternatively, you can contact some hiding Avernites somewhere east of Fort Draco. Not sure about the location though. Someone should be able to tell you that.
  16. Different races have certain deductions of exp. What traits you choose at the start of the game also affects their exp gain.
  17. IMHO, the last themed contest never got a scenario published. The 24hr one got scenario's released, which is more important then anything, even if isn't finished (And going on its 1 year anniversary.)
  18. If I remember correctly, you're supposed to bring them down as far as possible, then start to attack Redmark himself.
  19. Thats kinda the point. He's been using you to get control of Avernum. The idea is that you won't really care, since you can use his rewards for the greater good of Avernum.
  20. Timing is irrelevant in this case. You could spam 50 new threads and still acquire the same amount of posts from spamming 50 old threads.
  21. That post is completely hypocritical Dantius. Wait....
  22. I don't suppose this Wingroc has anything to do with the Arabian mythical bird Roc?
