Tracer Bullet

Um, not what I meant.

No to the first, no to the second, yes to the third.

You don't know that.

What, BTW, are the flame-thingys for?

You can't study Tolkien and not pick up that habit. But assuming that I'm onto something, here's today's scrap of writing: Click to reveal.. Check the G1 intro in the panel where the guy is Shaping an Artila Needless to say, the fragments are useless unless we already knew what they meant. But I saw enough to convince me that they are not the same writing system. What say you?

It's even worse in Manila. Not a star to be seen. Bye bye telescope! See ya next year!

In an effort to keep from cluttering the forum with short-lived, pointless threads, I will henceforth TRY to confine my various random observations to this one thread. Updated with new garbage weekly. Or hopefully more often. This week's random query: Click to reveal.. F P P h R M F T I F t I S F A R S Y F R M A M R Odd, right? Wondering where I got that from? Here: Click to reveal.. They are rough keyboard transcriptions of the runes on the stained-glass window above the Shaper Council. Well the runes got me thinking, and I hunted all over, but to my eyes there is no consistent writing system in the Geneforge universe. In G2, you walk over a rune in the floor of the Icy Breeding Pits, and the game says, effectively: Quote: To anyone with magical training, it says "Warning: high security ahead." Note the "to anyone with magical training." Therefore we are left with two possibilities: One: Only magicians knew how to read. Two: The mages practiced at least one distinct, arcane writing system. More on this topic tomorrow, but I would love another voice on this. Please?

But shoulds't thou so desire it, In cloak of darkness freely make thou copies Of software on yon lean and hungry floppies. And then shall games cost more? 'Tis not debatable, For playing on thy PCs and compatibles. Each price will soar if thou behav'st like rubbish, And smaller outfits may no longer publish.

Plan to pirate? Prithee, have a care, Electronic Arts, a member of the Software Publishers Association, supports the industry's effort to fight illegal copying of personal computer software. So there. See my new name. Meneltarma being the mountain in the center of the Isle Elenna. And a bard cares not for plagiarism. So there.

Dang. Missed it. I wanted to watch!

The Shaping Mind actually seemed rather friendly to me.

Are you all out of bubble gum yet?

Roamers look like frogs on-screen.

You can? I got SO stuck there. Couldn't kill the Gazer, couldn't get out the south, couldn't get out the north, erg.

Oh awesome.

Hang on, this is LORD SAFEY telling ME to be nice?!

The title says it all. Click to reveal.. It's a psychology experiment.

But what about certain combat sequences where you fish something from out of your pack--after having walked many yards away from where the fight began?

I'll have to try them out then.
