Sporefrog has been resurrected.

Quote: I suspect that production of BoA scenarios is far more stable over time, than the massive boom followed by silence that you claim is so important for the BoE data. My take is that BoE largely died off because of the lack of OS X compatibility. As fewer people had access to Classic mode, it became inaccessible. While I do not have the data to support the assertion, I suspect that had BoE been made to work on modern systems and not allowed to languish, it would have been far more stable of a designing platform.

Your list looks good. The biggest priority I would do is to extend the existing nodes. I did a lot of this. Let me know if you want source code. For instance, all of the Affect PC are easily made to affect monsters as well. Also, simple things like allowing a take away option for spells/alchemy or extending the select PC node to not demand an annoying menu are nice. The most useful innovation that I had in my stuff is the whole notion of pointers. This allows designers to enter the value of a specific flag as fields in nodes. * * * I see some discussion on BoE vs BoA, and I would like to offer my perspective. BoE's biggest strength was the ease of use. Nodes are pretty easy to do and the GUI easily facilitates even tricky noding sequences. While very similar under the hood, BoA is a lot harder for an inexperienced programmer to pick up. I do support "back end" improvements where experienced designers can directly modify the "scenario scripts" output by the "front end" GUI interface called the Editor. Nonetheless, having a graphical front end is very important and should not be sacrificed.

Machrone publishes that Oliver started with the following items in his shop: Flaming Sword, Antidote, Ironskin Balm, Poison Potion, Warding Crystal.

Machrone publishes that Ronaldo tried to poison Shanker who is Creator.

Just a comment: I would appreciate people taking the two minutes to tell me they cannot participate. Nothing is more annoying to me than having to replace people who simply disappear.

The darkness has not yet left the Northern Isles. Another life has been claimed. XELGION

Machrone publishes. You learn the Darkside Loyalists seek Xelgion who happens to be Ronaldo.

People dropping like diseased cave bats... MARLENNY

Another one bites the dust. DOOM WARRIOR

Another casualty... ACKROVAN

Jasper has been replaced by Ackrovan. RCCCL has been replaced by W-Dueck.

Looks like it will be a long night. Who is it now? None other than... SPOREFROG

More carnage. The victim this time is: NALYD

Oh noz! A body is found by a mushroom farmer. It was... TARSON

Another extra edition by Machrone. It states Wz As is Craftmaster Strine.

Machrone publishes his paper. Everyone learns that Gladwell seeks the Holy Symbol.

I'll allow you to use the Holy Symbol a second time to break the geas. There is a list of roles given of roles who may join the Anama. Using the Holy Symbol gives the list of players.

Sarachim is correct.

Others can win, just everyone (except Shanker) cannot win (or surely lose) before the conclusion of the fifth day. In other words, the end result of the game cannot be completely decided at the end of the fifth day. If this occurs and Shanker is alive, she wins. Many people can win, just someone will lose because that person has not met his/her victory condition yet when the time runs out. I agree with Pure Spirit. He starts out knowing the identity of Dionicio now. Note that Dionicio has been nerfed, so this should not be unbalancing.

I believe somewhere there is an effect on how long the aura spells last with level, but I have never confirmed this. Ackrovan is correct, the effectiveness is not affected by spell level.

Quote: Dont think that a newb knows so much tell me what i need to do i have no hint what you meant by this question I concur with Niemand. Please do not be hostile to those trying to help you. Thanks!

The first part is probably "gene" as in a part of genetic material.

To clarify, no one wants to pay a fair amount for the rights to Jeff's games. If they did, they would then have the ability to make an online version.
