Remember back when I told you about how I couldn't access my next-to-favourite forum, for no apparent reason? Well, apparently, today I could get on them again. For no apparent reason. Weird.

I'm sad I had to cut it short, though, but as we were allready an hour over time and I was literally falling asleep in my chair... I tried logging in on my phone too, but it did not handle it correctly. Maybe I should look for an app? Granted, that would make me type even slower and spell worse ;)
Anyway, did anything happen around my character at the end, or was it all centered at those cowardlysmart nobles?

edit: Oh, and unless the race-document was wrong, I still have 6 health +1 (Tough), but I did loose 2 point during the battle iirc, so it should still be 5/7.

I also have a question of Advanced Telekinesis: Can I use Telekinesis together with physical strength to lift/move/whatever objects heavier than I could manage otherwise?
Next time I have to remember to actually make use of that skill as well...

Yeah, Vector, you really need to give us more than that now. What was the defense? By what did you breach those walls?

I don't know about melee, but archers definitely do not gain any range when on higher ground, whether hill or wall. I run pretty missile dependant army, so I really think I would have noticed, but all archers always start shooting at eachother from the same distance regardless of height. It is possible, I suppose, that they still get some kind of attack bonus or something, that would be a bit harder to check.

You know what I think is one of the most irritating things of battles in this game (aside from the extreme low number of maps, that is)? Not getting to position my troops after the enemies while siege-defending. That makes no sense at all.
Yes, It is irritating, but at the same time I could argue for both ways.
It's usually just a minor inconvenience as you can get your troop in position before the enemies arrives.
It's still annoying as hell, though. By the time I get all my archers into place, first wave of enemy is usually way into range and thus my guys fires fewer volleys than otherwise. I guess in the end it doesn't matter much and just means more dead people on my side, it is still one of the most irritating things about the game. As far as my experience go.

Sounds like a great gang. ;)

But first he has to find and activate the Seven Dragon Paw Seals, which has been hidden throughout the world by ancient civilisations. There's no way he'll ever succeed in do- oh he already found six of them you say? The only one left is the one in Sunken Atlantis? We'll, we'd better find an Everyman to stop him right now!

No sleep, no school, no work. My only regular scheduled thing is my therapist, really. And the time is okay with me, as well.

Also, strife should request transfer to the Ninja Platoon of the army. With his sneaky-skills, he would own that place. Also possibly go Dark Side and try to take over the world.

edit: Oh why oh why can't I vote for several settings?

No time restrictions. None I can tell in advance, at least.

Nah, I'm sleeping more, now... I just wonder why my sick-happening occurred just when I started taking significantly better care of myself >_>
Obviously your body is in a masochist relationship under your conciousness. It needs to be punished, or it'll snivel up and.. annoy.

Wauuuu, how do I keep getting sick?

Blorck.
You don't sleep much, if I remember correctly? As far as I know, the biological defense (yes, I forgot another word) gets drasticly lowered if we do not get enough sleep. Maybe related?

That depends on your definition of evening. Mines around 20-24. 18 is just late afternoon for me. Based on sleeping/awaking patterns, you know.

GMT+1, here. Your American afternoons are my Swedish evenings. I think.

I would like to state that when Americans tried to put in mix gender firefighters they had to lower the standards.
[Citation needed]
This is basically the unbased argument "if women is allowed to be firefighters they would have to lower the requirements" turned into "women were allowed to be firefighters and the requirements were lowered" after said permission came into action. In my experience, noone who said it has ever been able to back it up, and it seems to be pure propaganda of the "repeat it enough" kind and/or an example of people accepting unbased statements as proof just because it fits with their world view.

I'd be very interested, but I might be a problematic player, as I would be completely new to "real" rpg-ing, and then there's also the complication of being European, timezone-wise. So I'm aware that it might not be possible for me to join, but I'm not going to just let it go by without at least declaring my interest.
