You must have one hell of a left hook!

I agree with Corth in that (and I think I mentioned this before), while I think Obama's a nice guy, we should not allow someone who doesn't do proper research and who doesn't understand the various cultures, needs, wants and expectations of the countries and regions of our world to lead the U.S. It ...

The osamabama comment isn't out of ignorance at all. One cannot compete at this level, which is the most pivotal white collar job around, with marginal understanding of what majority acceptance is - that being saluting the flag, etc. Did this muslim not ever attend grade school?

Perhaps there's a more... intelligent way to point out a spell's shortcomings.

Birile, There are lots of spell effects (side-effects) that aren't spelled out verbatim in the help files. So what? That's the mystery. If you really want to learn it all, do experiments in a controlled environment before you get your grouped spanked in a difficult CR situation. That's sort of what...

I mean, aren't we talking about someone who was more than a little involved in the greatest political scandal this country has every seen? You mean claiming WMDs and bin laden ties so we can "liberate" Iraq from its oil...err oppressive regime... I'm not sure which political scandal you'r...

I agree with Corth, though I think some Democratic party members who are also political junkies are erring in that they think the 2008 Presidential race is a done deal no matter who the nominees are from the two parties. Just look at the tortoise and the hare.

Birile

My earlier comments were aimed at someone who would make an ignorant statement by purposely changing one letter in a person's name to insinuate they're akin to somebody else. As for Obama not saluting the flag, I don't look at it as though he did it out of disrespect, but out of ignorance--either wa...

Why the hell would anybody vote for OSama? The dude refuses to salute the Flag... He may be politically retarded, but he has some interesting stances on the issues. He'll never get my vote, though. In the primary he won't get my vote either. But if it comes down to him or a Republican (none of whic...

As a liberal, I don't see Huckabee that way at all. At best (meaning, as close to liberal as I would possibly call it) he's a moderate.

Bah, you forgot the mithril chainmail I bought for 10k and the serpent armor I bought for 4.5k :(

Asking the same question on the Republican side, but what're you Dems and Liberals thinking? Still sticking with the same candidate? New thoughts? Clinton's hit a rough spot (I'm still voting for her), it'll be interesting to see if Obama can make use of her downward trend and his upward climb.

Birile

A little over a month since the last post (which *boggle* was from me)... what are you Republican-minded types thinking nowadays? I'm still not voting for any of them (I'm voting for Clinton), but a lot's changed on the Republican side of things lately.

Organized chaos is TONS of fun. I've wanted a good evil vs good for years, but the closest we could get was team vs. team in the challenge a while back.

I think you regen HP over time--not sure how long it's been since you received that wound, Mori would be able to tell you if you've regained any HP since the last encounter.

Thanks, Mori--figured it would be a longshot (pun-pun intended) but I was hungering for a little action. :twisted:

Seeing the humanoid and the gnolls coming to attention, Birile nocks an arrow in his bow and takes aim at the gnoll closest to the humanoid and lets the arrow fly, hoping for a distraction for the monk to make an escape.

Consider: You have a 16 Strength score--that's rather strong and you can carry 76lbs. with a Light load, 153lbs. for a Medium load.

Consider: Birile weighs 34lbs. (not counting equipment).

Looking at your character sheet, I don't think you'd have much of a problem, as Mori said.

Someone please IM me with info on why a whole bunch of posts were deleted and a thread locked. I can't believe I missed it! :( A couple people went off the wall, including an Imm.

As to the don't keep items in game if your not questing them so they can repop... who the hell knows if x junk item in their bag is quest item, and even if it is a quest item that it won't repop because it's in game.. we all dont have commands to stat an object to find out if it's a part of a quest...

Birile

Not that this is D&D 3.5, but since Toril 2.0 is based off of a lot of D&D stuff, I thought I'd add that Blur is considered a watered-down version of Displace in D&D, and just as Eilistraee mentioned here, the two do not stack.

Birile

Why bring Gate into this? That quest is solo-able and doesn't require rare items. I rewrote it almost 10 years ago because it had the same kind of frustration associated with it that relocate apparently has now. Were you just associating the two because they're both quested transport spells, or is ...

Birile

Meditate is completely removed in 2.0. Of course, that went along with a complete rewrite of the mem/pray engine, so it's not that simple to port over to 1.0. I'll check into the time it would take to clean it up a little bit in the interim before 2.0. This should be easy--any command that doesn't ...

Birile

You mean that wasn't someone multiplaying??

I wrote a really long post and then decided to just write this:

Make Gate and Relocate non-quest spells.

Birile

can you guys lighten up on the stat roller for the remainder of toril 1.0? I have yet to roll an alt because of how long it takes to roll a new char with decent stats Stat roller was already changed a couple years back and most everyone agrees that the possible stats now are a little crazy compared...

The US dollar's fall is really the main reason there was such a huge percentage increase in millionaire households in those countries--it's possible for one household to have the same amount of Euros this year that they had last year and be bumped up into the list of "millionaires"--becaus...

Birile

Also, consider: Britain has benefited from the German Deutchmark's strength which is probably one of the main reasons the Euro ever succeeded in the first place. There are a lot of countries which have benefited from Germany's work ethic (better craftsmanship), Germany's Deutchmark and Germany's alt...

Is the item stat'd NOSELL? Does it even have stats? When auction first went in, it was explicitly stated that nostat items would not be allowed to be sold and if something slipped by the Imms would take it off auction as soon as they noticed.

Given who started this thread, is this where Corth would normally come in and say he wanted his X amount of time wasted back?

Corth is right, aside from Britain, Germany isn't as socialist as most of the other European countries--especially, as Corth said, the Scandinavian countries and France. Then again, which European country is probably the biggest giver of foreign aid to other European countries? Germany. They're rath...

That was to be expected. The Democrat governor was extremely unpopular. And it's Louisiana, after all, I'm sort of surprised there was a Democrat in office to begin with!

You didn't need groups at the pwipe. I solo'd from 1-30+ and used SS gear. Some of the best moments I've had this wipe were during the beginning.

Those are some of the moments that are indelible in all of our memories. Anyone who has brought up the idea of even an eq-wipe, let alone a pwipe, has been shot down. *shrug*
