Taking a lead role in issues that concern the global community while still working as part of the global community could be the mid ground between isolationism and "protecting American interests". Calling Ron Paul's foreign policy isolationist is being a bit absolutist. Being the dominant power doesn't necessarily mean dominating everyone. I think this is where Paul (& Obama) are coming from.

Johnny Cash 'The Mercy Seat', (Nick Cave) Joe Strummer 'Redemption Songs', (Bob Marley') Pearl Jam 'Crazy Mary', (Victoria Williams) B(if)tek 'Wired for Sound', (Cliff Richard) Bruce Springsteen 'I Want You', (Bob Dylan) Rage Against the Machine 'The Ghost of Tom Joad', (Bruce Springsteen) There are so many great covers around and these are a few that come to mind. Aforementioned Richie Havens and EWaF covers are pretty awesome. ...und - Jose Gonzales cover of The Knife's 'Heartbeats' is a beautiful version of an outstanding track.

Enemies can sometimes act while terrified so why can't we? Nice one Sedape!

Thanks. Sorry for the dumb question.

I can't seem to find how to change my party's order. I want my mage at #3 to give a lightning blast before my priest Call the Storms my opponents out of range.

No, I got to the one with the Hivemaster. I thought the GIFTS said there'd be spells there once I rescued the prisoners. Maybe I got it wrong.

I've killed everything in the Aranea Lair but couldn't find any spells. Did I miss a switch or something?

There'll be a lot of people there, and hopefully a few will be interested. For future reference, I'm okay with people using the metathread to make announcements like this, if you need to reach an audience outside your current players. ...for a small fee

Jimi Hendrix 'Machine Gun'.

waterplant say: 'remember the 5th amendment, grasshopper, before incriminating your good self'. I don't want you to leave btw, especially over some stalemated discussion.

Checking out what other people are listening to is a good way to discover new music. That's what this thread is for! Spew-away dear! *high five* back.

Pantheism rates higher than nihilism on my list. I'm with you Actaeon!

Something Beginning With L and Laura Marling - her lyrics are so wonderful. Also listening to India a lot. This is possibly crap music for a Spanish speaker - there is often an advantage to not understanding the lyrics.

Lilith, that is disturbing.

I didn't know lemurs could climb...

Or is it MK Ultra, I ask...? You've been controlling us Slarty and I'm onto it!

You should've escaped while you had the chance, Ack. You'll never retrieve your sanity now!

The Glass Bead Game is one of my favorite books - up there with anything by Hesse. If I'd read it as a youth I may have been inspired to apply myself more to learning. If only...

Momentous. Congratulations Slarty! & thanks for your considerable efforts regarding in-game help.

Do peasants yield much XP?

Per level do you mean level of weapon skill (melee, p/w, etc.)? Is there anything else that directly affects the equation?

Not to be confused with Aimee the Qantas stewardess. Good luck with avoiding human interference while pushing that refreshments trolley!
