I know it's a few days late (damn you, real life), but thanks so much for the link to the forums (I've been meaning to thank Shard too, but life just got in the way, :P)! I much prefer your forums to the Vault, far more welcoming and there's no, "I haet u so ur mod gets a 1," stuff. Elysea 18:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Whoever they are, they're really good. I'm impressed. :O Vili 点 21:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I think its awesome as well. (Hi, I just kinda wandered by here and noticed it.) I'd love to have one myself. Definitely would be willing to pay for it. I seriously want to know who did such a wonderful job. - Marisa 22:14, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

His name is EmJey...I found him on Guru, his page is here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4850177#post4850177 He's awesome and very nice.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 22:30, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Your userpage

On my screen, your userpage has pushed all the left-hand links to below your userboxes, have you done this deliberately? Or is my browser just being weird? Shadow Runner 18:55, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It's like that for me too. --neshot 19:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out what did that...it wasn't my intention.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 19:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It's fine now. --neshot 19:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Tables! Try them for your user boxes.

"|-" is your line breaking character, so the above would produce a 2x2 grid. Knock yourself out. — Jon Lupen 20:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

The problem with rows of userboxes - and no one ever seems to think of this any more than they remember to put clear tags after the boxes - is that a fixed number of fixed width userboxes has a fixed total width. This total width often exceeds the width of the viewer's resolution. More than three wide tends to break on a number of monitors (assuming average monitor resolution is 1024x768). You have five wide, which on 1280x1024 arranges your boxes something like so:

box  box  box  box
               box
box  box  box  box
               box
box  box  box  box
          box

The boxes wrap around right-aligned when they exceed the screen's width. I have no idea why the last one is shoved over, though.

tl;dr either put your boxes in rows of three or in a column. :<

Before I explode Linsey's page...

...with further large rants and walls of text that don't directly pertain to the topic at hand, let me get one thing strait. Are you honestly arguing for the removal of henchmen all together? — Jon Lupen 23:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I would prefer the main henchmen to just be switched over. It would fit better, at least imo. Personally, I'd much rather be able to customize my 8 man party with builds I want then deal with pre-set ones. So, probably yes...at least past the initial lower levels of the game.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 23:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"I would prefer the main henchmen to just be switched over."

Please elaborate. — Jon Lupen 23:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You ec'd me before I could.

By main I consider, like Cynn, Mhenlo, Aidan and so on...--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 23:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"...to just be switched over."'

Same request. — Jon Lupen 23:47, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I just hate having to choose from the pot of garbage henchmen are...new bars or not, their AI is still terrible. The ability to lock targets, control how agressive they are or aren't in battle, utilizing actual hard res skills on everyone, customizing their bars to run what I need...and believe me, there are times when I wished I could have a 4th slot to run a mesmer for certain areas, when I had to choose a healer hero instead. Just convert the main characters over and delete the others past early game areas.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 23:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Who doesn't want better henchmen? But...

"..and delete the others past early game areas."

How would removing said henchmen better the game? What would you stand to gain by removing them? How is their presence a detriment to players? Some people relay on those henchmen that you want removed from the game. Do you really want to deprive them of a method of playing the game? Does said players using said henchmen affect you in any way?

It's easy to see how being able to run 7 heros would be beneficial, but how would removing the craptacular henchmen be? — Jon Lupen 23:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Ty for moving your offtopic discussion --adrin 00:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, I'm sure you're going to say something along the lines of: "But they could just buy Nightfall and/or Eye of the North."

Two words for forcing your customers into a situation like that: Dick move. — Jon Lupen 00:04, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Dude that is EXACTLY what anet does to you if you want to PvP. If you don't own Nightfall or Factions, good fucking luck getting into a group. Anet is the king of as you put it, "dick moves" --adrin 00:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I've never reccomended this game to a friend after NF came out, so I wouldn't suggest that now. Anyway, I see removing henchmen as a way of saving server space and code space...as a clean up really...so they could up the hero limit to 7. The fact that Cynn, Mhenlo and gang are part of the storyline, I would just convert them (and their models are cool). Using said henchmen does affect me because I hate them...playing with them is extremely annoying, and the fact that I have 3 I can control and customize makes dealing with the ones I can't even more frustrating.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

So are you saying make the henchmen controllable like heroes? --adrin 00:13, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Whatever is easier. Its pointless to have both if you can do a 7 hero party. Like one person said on Linsle's page, no one would use them if they had the choice. Anet isn't going to be silly and not give easier access to heroes as a compensation. Like in NF if you're Tyrian, Koss & friends are chillin' outside Kamadan waiting for you.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:17, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"Dude that is EXACTLY what anet does to you if you want to PvP."

Umm, last I checked, you can still PvP regardless of what campaigns you own.

"If you don't own Nightfall or Factions, good fucking luck getting into a group."

Talk to the community about that. ArenaNet does not have control over the community, how they pick groups and their mentality while doing so.

"Anyway, I see removing henchmen as a way of saving server space and code space...as a clean up really..."

I could probably off-balance that saved server space with one account. Hardly worth the time it would take to remove them.

"The fact that Cynn, Mhenlo and gang are part of the storyline, I would just convert them (and their models are cool)."

Cool, I'm all for that.

"Using said henchmen does affect me because I hate them...playing with them is extremely annoying..."

I said how does OTHER PEOPLE using them affect you? — Jon Lupen 00:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, back on topic, the point is, with 7 heroes no one will use the henchmen. Its like using a computer from 1998...yeah they're out there, but given the means and the choice, you won't pick that compared to something better. As for other people...sod them, I only care about myself (and Simon Le Bon of course), and as I see it, henchmen suck. Most people agree that they suck, that they are useless, and most would prefer the hero system.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Now, where were we? Ah yes, henchmen.

Which would you say is worse, leaving an option that only a few take advantage of, or removing an option that's the only means of game-play for a somewhat small group? This is under the assumption that the use of the option in question has no negative effects on those that choose otherwise. — Jon Lupen 01:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

PvP

"Umm, last I checked, you can still PvP regardless of what campaigns you own." Oh thats right, RA counts as PvP. --adrin 00:26, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"Talk to the community about that. ArenaNet does not have control over the community, how they pick groups and their mentality while doing so." They absolutely have control over the community. If they make rit skills overpowered as fuck, and you don't have a rit cuz u dont own Factions, you're screwed. When they released Factions in the start, all the sin and rit skills were OP to have the PvP community buy the game, and then once they did, other people couldnt get in groups. --adrin 00:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Aside from getting a group, what physically keeps you from entering a HA and/or GvG match if you don't own Factions, or Nightfall? Independent of how well your group does.

What they do affects the community, but they can't directly control it. There is a huge difference there. — Jon Lupen 00:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

What if my friends want me to do JQ? FA? AB? (formerly HB)? --adrin 00:32, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

That's a campaign specific format. What if my friends want me to enter the Shing Shea arena with them? What about the Sunspear Arena? What about Ascalon Arena? What if my friends want me to Kill Shiro with them, or do the ring of fire, or do Gates of Desolation with them? GvG and HA are NOT campaign specific formats that you are supposed to be able to access regardless of what campaign(s) you own.

Also, you've just commited one of the biggest fallacies of an argument. Stop begging the question. Answer mine.

You don't pvp Jon, so getting into that discussion is pointless. But I will say that not owning all the campaigns or the skill unlocks puts you at a huge disadvantage in pvp. Anyway, back on topic, the point is, with 7 heroes no one will use the henchmen. Its like using a computer from 1998...yeah they're out there, but given the means and the choice, you won't pick that compared to something better.

"But I will say that not owning all the campaigns or the skill unlocks puts you at a huge disadvantage in pvp."

Yes, but does it make you physically unable of enter a match?

"...with 7 heroes no one will use the henchmen."'

Wrong. There are plenty of people out there that don't own Nightfall or Eye of the North. — Jon Lupen 00:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Again...YOU DON'T PVP so we are not going to have this discussion unless you want to start a separate topic. And that isn't what we are discussing here...we are talking about heroes and henchmen.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Implement some in Proph/Fac? --smøni 00:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"...YOU DON'T PVP..."

So? That doesn't mean I can't ask questions, so answer mine. Stop begging/dodging the question. — Jon Lupen 00:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't mean I can ask <- you answered yourself. So stop asking questions. Pika Fan 00:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It would help if I typed that correctly. — Jon Lupen 00:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It would also help if you didn't pwn yourself. Pika Fan 00:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

(you guys are killing me with the ec) I am not dodging...you are changing the subject. I am staying on the topic this thread was about. If you want to debate pvp with me, you can make a new discussion here for that. Oh and Pika...<3 pospospos--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:49, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

<3 pospospos omelettes! Also, I enjoy derailing discussions that aren't worth discussing. Pika Fan 00:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Bam, done. — Jon Lupen 00:51, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm also still waiting for a strait answer from Adrin. — Jon Lupen 00:52, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Being bad enough keeps one from entering GvG. Pika Fan 00:54, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

What's stopping them from clicking the little button that says "Guild Battle"? — Jon Lupen 00:55, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

^^<3 Pika. PvP usually requires the player to play with and against other players--hence the name "pvp". These teams usually set up a build utilize both the primary and sometimes secondary classes and are made up of 4 or 8 players. That being said, not having access to the skills needed to run these builds will hender people from playing, or will put they at the disadvantage where they cannot play in almost 90% or more of teams. There is nothing keeping them from entering these arenas...but they will not have access to all the skils as both a counter to a build or defense from certain skills or situations. Does this answer your question?--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:58, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"There is nothing keeping them from entering these arenas...but they will not have access to all the skils as both a counter to a build or defense from certain skills or situations."

Exactly. Now, would you kindly hammer this into Adrin's head since you are closer to him than me? — Jon Lupen 01:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Bottom line: Not owning all the campaigns DOES NOT KEEP YOU FROM PVPING. It may put you at a disadvantage, but it does not prevent you from PvPing. — Jon Lupen 01:03, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Stop talking about PvP when you haven't the first clue about it. Your point is stupid - PvP all but requires every expansion because of power creep. You might as well not bother hitting the enter battle button at all, because if you do, you're just wasting time and feeding the other team free wins.

Yasmin's "you don't PvP" comment is actually right on the money. You're trying to make a point without having the least bit of understanding here, and it makes you look like a huge idiot. So just stop trying. -Auron 01:09, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"There is nothing keeping them from entering these arenas...but they will not have access to all the skils as both a counter to a build or defense from certain skills or situations."

Read that again Auron. SUCCESSFUL PvP may practically require all campaigns, but the sheer act of PvPing does not. Bottom line: you do not have to own all the campaigns to PvP. That's what this argument is about, NOT how successful you will be given the lack-there-of. I repeat, this is strickly about whether or not you CAN, not how successful you will be. — Jon Lupen 01:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Keep your sadomasochism to yourself. People play to win and have fun, and not go GvG only to be trashed by some shitter guild because you don't have power creeped skills. Arguing because you "can" even though it's not "practical" to do so just highlights on how far away from reality you are. It's like arguing that you don't need to be special to enter the special olympics; yes, you don't have to be "special" but really now. Pika Fan 01:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

"That's what this argument is about, NOT how successful you will be given the lack-there-of. I repeat, this is strickly about whether or not you CAN, not how successful you will be."

No, that's what you're talking about because you have never PvP'd on a serious level in your life. You try to argue minutia. The point is you're being dumb. Stop being dumb. Listen to the real PvPers talk about PvP. Don't try to tell them they're wrong, because the only one wrong here is you.

Because you've red herring'd your way all the way to this point, let me bring you back to reality with the original quote. "If you don't own Nightfall or Factions, good fucking luck getting into a group." This is the truth. None of your offtopic bullshit refutes this point, because it is the truth. The only way you can win this is by trying to stick to an argument that is, in itself, bullshit. Just stop. You're fooling nobody. You haven't the first fucking clue and you've just idioted your way through this entire discussion, showing your true colors along the way. Save yourself some face and stop trying to defend that idiocy. -Auron 01:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Playing GW PVP without all the expansions is like playing counter strike without a mouse to aim. Sure, you can still play, you just have 0 chance of winning, unless your team does all the work for you *cough* champ point/hero rank buying *cough*. ~Shard 01:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi i'm back. I dont think i need to respond anymore. --adrin 03:26, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

What a waste of walls of text, let me quote "Bottom line: Not owning all the campaigns DOES NOT KEEP YOU FROM PVPING. It may put you at a disadvantage, but it does not prevent you from PvPing. — Jon Lupen"
Now my turn, Bottom line: Not having access to heroes or henchmen DOES NOT KEEP YOU FROM PVEING. It may put you at a disadvantage, but it does not prevent you from entering missions. Sure, it would be hard to PvE without friends, it's hard to PvP without friends. You are having the same argument twice standing on opposite sides Jon. I don't know why anyone even bothered to respond. I don't really care what you have to say in response, I'm not going to respond. You are applying the same logic and receiving two different results in two different places, so there is no point in discussing with you. For the record, regardless of what happens to heroes, I wouldn't see a need to remove henchmen, but that discussion doesn't even belong in this topic.

Depth perception is much clearer; instead of viewing the world in the movie from the perspective of one viewing the screen, with 3D, you view the movie as a 3rd party within the movie world itself. Pika Fan 12:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

JC even made special cameras for the 3D purpose. It really should be seen that way, it becomes more intense. I'd give it a 10/10...I liked it more than Titanic, but not more than T1/2 but that's just because those 2 have such a special place in my heart.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 20:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

The execution is amazing, but the storyline fails. A direct ripoff from a certain other science fiction cult classic. NuVII 20:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it was very similar to "Dances with Wolves". But very few films are original..."Bridget Jones" was "Pride and Prejudice", "Twilight:New Moon" is a half-assed attempt at "Wuthering Heights", even the first "Twilight" is just the basic "Romeo & Juliet" story only its one is human, one is vampire instead of family ties. There is no such thing as originality in its pure form.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

There is a difference between "Original", "Inspired by" and "complete ripoff". People usually can tell the difference. FYI, both Pride and Prejudice and Twilight were originally books (bad ones, but whateva) NuVII 15:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

What was the "rip-off" Exactly? You haven't given an actual fact or comparison to your view. And Pride and Prejudice is an amazing book---but then, you're male, I don't expect you to read much.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 16:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, okay, let me provide a better analysis. In fact, I would very much like to make a chart here, only if I could.

Avatar: The entire thing is set on a planet humans have colonized to harvest a mysterious (but very valuable) unobtanium. The planet is inhabited by an indigenous people, primitve but quite fierce in their traditions and belief. The planet is poplulated by villages spread accross the forests and jungle.

Cult Classic: The entire thing is set (at least the original book) on a planet humans have colonized to harvest a mysterious Spice, which is very valuable. The planet is a desert, completely inhospitable to humans, but they managed to establish one town. The planet has a native people, whom do not view outsiders as friends, and are quite savage and powerful in their own way. The planet is populated by villages and establishments that are spread out on the vast empty desert plains.

Avatar: Our protagonist "acts like a child" around the natives, and is frequently chided for being this way, and the plot revolves around the his quest for maturity and understanding. He befriends the natives, proclaimed as the "Toruk Macto" and leads them to victory against the eeevviiil harvesting company. He then decides to stay and presumably rules over them, with his native wife.

Cult Classic: Our protagonist is a child who has difficulty understanding the natives at first, but slowly coming to appreciate their savage yet true ways. The plot revovles around the protagonist, specifically, his quest for understanding and growth. He befriends the natives, marries one, is proclaimed their Muad'ib, and proceeds to liberate the planet from the eeeeevvviilll enemy spice hungry off-worlders. He then stays with the people, separating himself from the humanity he preveiously knew, and rules over the sand people with his wife.

Avatar: The rite of passage of a native Naiv (I think I spelled that right) is the taming of a flying dinosaur like thing (Ikrak something). The rite is dangerous, and the aspirant has a good chance of dying. The mount then becomes a vital part of the community. The native people are in tune with the nature of the planet, listening the to greenery and the trees. They also hold shamanic beliefs about the trees, which the aliens cannot/will not understand.

Cult Classic: the rite of passage for a native is the catching of a sand worm. The process is quite dangerous, and the aspirant stands a good chance of being trampled. The worm is a crucial part of the community's survival. The native people truly understand the working of the desert, whereas the off-worlders can't/won't.

Yup, no parallels there. Also, be kind enough to fill in the name of the book I'm referring to. Being a woman, you must read more than I do. NuVII 17:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and PS: I'm only referring to the first book of the series. NuVII 17:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

never read the book or viewed the movie but arn't you talking about dune? the flying monster is an ikran btw and they are the na'vi not naiv for those who didn't get that native => na(ti)ve => na'vi :p it is indeed a bit of a rip of but i found the film quite amazing and enormously fun to watch and besides name 5 movies in the past 10 years who where original. that should be hard anyway. And pleaso don't include any fantasy because that's just all about being the chosen one , queestes and destroying the evil lord of the darkness. now nuke let us dance naked in the forest hug trees and call them Eywa. All worship Eywa *tries to tie his hair andthe leaves of a tree* Rhonin Soren 18:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

It is a good movie, best I've ever seen in a while. The execution is stellar. I'm just saying the storyline is ripped, and I value storyline quite a bit. NuVII 18:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

just read karel ende elegast or any karolingische or arthurian legend and you will recognise the basic storyline of every fantasy story ever brought, a lot of science fiction and a lot of other story's to. Even romeo and Juliet wasn't original but a rip of of older story's that is how things work. Why invent something new when the existing things still pay off? Rhonin Soren 18:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) You're talking about Dune, right? I haven't read the Dune books, but I'm familiar with the story andnthis sounds like it. But TBH, "Braveheart" is similar. "Pocahontas" is similar. "Brave New World" is similar. "Dances With Wolves" is similar. "Logan's Run" is similar (with jungles too). "Ferngully" is similar. But that was Jim's thing...he used to read "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" and "Emerald Forest" as well as the "John Carter" series. He wanted to make a film inspired by and an homage to, those pieces that inspired him to make films. Its a theme called "the Mono Myth"...in the Mono Myth the hero starts in one place as a normal person, but goes on some kind of quest that changes him/her into a hero. It can be culture change like "Avatar" or "Dances With Wolves", being put into a spy type situation like "Avatar" and "Logan's Run" a war like Luke Skywalker's change in "Star Wars", a death--whatever the case. Considering how complex the idea of the film was simple, I had no problem with that.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 19:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Also when i saw their connection thing with Eywa and collective memory, I immediatly had to think of Gaia in the Foundation books by Isaav Asimov. wonderfull books and the best SF i've ever read or saw Rhonin Soren 11:11, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

His first one (Piranhas or something like that). Even he regards it as his bastard child. --RIDDLE 05:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Its true...he's my patron saint for a reason. But then, you probably haven't heard me go on and on about how much I live James Cameron. @Riddle...the film was Pirahna 2, and he was fired from the film before completion.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 05:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

He wasnt really fired the director took over and he said FU. Drogo Boffin 05:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, the last Terminator wasn't great. It was beautifully designed, but horribly written (which is the part he did). Karate Jesus 05:10, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

He also told Universal Studios to STFU when they wanted OJ Simpson to play the Terminator. I think that makes up for it. Drogo Boffin 05:16, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Didn't Cameron write it? Karate Jesus 06:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

No he did not. John Brancato, Tedi Sarafian and Michael Ferris did. And when 3 people write it, you know its bad. Jonathan Mostov was also the director...JC had nothing to do with it.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 06:22, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. Imbd gives him credit for writing it, but it's just the characters that he wrote. Karate Jesus 06:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Lol. No, my point is, every woman I know, myself included, does certain things. Its just a truth--we hold in things until we pop, we remember everything and use it as ammo in arguments months later after the initial incident, we like to have the last word, we expect our husbands to know what we're thinking. How is that sexist when its true? Every man on here will agree that their wife/girlfriend has done what I mention above. Sexist is if I said every woman needs to be married to matter, that every woman needs a man to validate her, that every woman should be a homemaker and not have a career, that women should make less than men. That is sexist.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 20:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

"every woman needs to be married to matter, that every woman needs a man to validate her, that every woman should be a homemaker and not have a career, that women should make less than men." Well said. Chucka chucka chucka. elix Omni 20:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) ^ some feminists believe that if you cultivate gender stereotypes that aren't true (like the goddess thing), then you're actually promoting sexism. I know this because I'm a feminist...and a guy...which, I'll admit, is weird. Karate Jesus 20:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

(random indent) I've been a self-pronounced feminist since I was in high school and it wasn't a ploy to get women (never really had that problem). It's one of the few causes that's hung with me, short of gay rights, improving adolescent law, and a few others. I guess you could say that a lot of that comes from my background, just like my desire to work with teenagers. Karate Jesus 20:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

IS it bad that I'm actually finding Nuke amusing recently? I'm not sure if he's got funnier or if my sense of humour has just regressed. As for female stereotypes, not really sure; I know many lassies who don't hold back and let peeps know where they stand but then on the flip side I know fella's who are just repressed balls of rage due to not just letting loose with whatever it is that's pissing them off. However being a big ol' homo myself, I'm probably seeing a different side of the penny from most other guys, but then I'm the guy who gets phone calls at 3:30am in the morning from his straight male friends for relationship/emotional advice, as they can't talk to their female mates as it in some way emasculates them and they can't talk to their straight male mates as they are scared of being laughed at. In short, men are just as crazy as women. -- Salome 21:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

At 3:30 AM, your advice to them should be that you want them to suck off a few shotgun shells. Unless you work third shift or something. -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 21:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Nuk, now you're making me want to call Chris Hanson as Pedo Bear might be lurking around the corner. You crack me up.

Back on topic...I try not to support anything over another for the very reason that prejudice in favor of one side to stop prejudice is still a prejudice. To quote Ferris Buller, who was quoting John Lennon "I don't believe in 'isms', I just believe in me." Men have as many faults as women--but since I'm not a man, I don't delve too far into it...as human beings in general are very flawed. I'm proud of the fact that, as a woman, I can admit I do these things and I'm ok with recognizing my faults rather than hiding them under the guise of an "ism" or making excuses. Plus, as a woman, its kinda hard to hate them considering I'd be hating myself, which I don't because I'm awesome. Personally, on a profesional and social level, I get more respect from my peers, male and female because I admit I do some of that shit rather than pointing my finger and saying, or QQ'ing "that's sexist." Men seem to prefer to deal with me than other female managers because of that open attitude, and females tend to value my opinion on how to curb it.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 21:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

(ec*2) Just as insane? Why, I'd say that's only the best case scenario, seeing as how a good majority of men assume themselves to be saner than the opposite sex. We're the nuts for thinking we aren't nuts. In fact, I blame the nuts. It's probably a bad idea to have critical, emotion driving glands outside of the body, rather than placing them in safe bodily cavities. That, and men are uglier.

I'm getting better Salome, thanks for noticing. If I can entertain one more person on this wiki, I am that much happy. Of course, that isn't the only way to make me happy. I can proudly demonstrate how good I'm getting to be. Thanks! NuVII 21:26, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) X3 @Reckoning unfortunately not, I work 9 til about 7ish most days (yay me), I just tend to get rudely awoken by my drunken mates at daft times of the night. My advice normally is repress less, talk more to their GF. Thus far that has only backfired once, however in my defense I didn't know the full story at that point, as I wouldn't have advised him to go wake up his GF and confess to drunkenly sleeping with her best mate, who just so happened to be called Brian. (that did not go down well).

Back on topic; I think it's good that you can accept all of what it means to be who you are Yasmin. Too many people only like to accept what they see as the positive aspects of who they are. The world would be a whole lot easier place to live in but for that one thing. -- Salome 21:31, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Its best to admit as much negative as positive, otherwise you don't balance at the end of the day. I would have advised similar in that friend telling the girl about the affair, but not by waking her up from sleep. Do it over a cup of coffee.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 21:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

If that's Irish coffee, then sure. A healthy dose of booze is necessary if you're gonna tell your GF that you cheated on her with another man. It may be safer still to tie her down with restraints. Thanks! NuVII 21:42, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Once I was upset with Adrin over something stupid, and I flirted with a vendor. I felt so guilty that a few hours later, when Adrin, all good hearted and pure with a Starbucks in hand for me. I told Adrin at my desk there in the office. The funny thing is, the day that happened that vendor robbed one of the residents. Oo!--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 21:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Flirting is one thing, cheating is another thing, cheating with the wrong sex is another thing entirely. Thanks! NuVII 21:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Flirting is bad too though...it leads into other things. Unless its with Simon Le Bon and John Taylor, but they're cool and their wives are even cooler than they are.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 22:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

And surely they are in your list of five? As in the five famous people you are validly allowed to sleep with, with no arguments from the other half. (I may be the only one who watched that friends episode) -- Salome 22:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

laminated list -- pling 22:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

LOL, yay! Thanks Pling! Although in the words of Micheal MacIntyre, probably best to stick to famous people and not include people in your list like:

1) Your partner's brother

2) Your partner's best friend

3) Etc...

As that list will probably cause issues. (Also can't believe that the example Urban dictionary list doesn't include George Clooney!!!) -- Salome 22:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Do the people who like Lady Gaga just ignore what she looks like + pretty much everything she says and does and only listen to the music, or what? Because as far as music goes she is not terrible (and certainly doesn't carry the same guilt as liking, idk, Britney Spears music or w/e), but...ugh. Vili 点 01:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I think she's pretty (see my msn pic). I think her songs are awesome. I respect the fact that she writes, produces and performs her own work, that she doesn't lip sync, that she has brought theatre back to entertainment. I've been listening to her album consistently since April. Gaga busted her ass to get where she is, she paid her dues. Yes, she's weird, but so was David Bowie, Ozzy, Jimi Hendrix, Alice Cooper, Peter Murphy--they look crazy on stage, but when they go home, they're normal like everyone else. Keep in mind, she's a performance artist...she supposed to be strange, again, its a fucking act...but you know what, that "act" makes a lot of kids who may not be conventionally pretty or "cool" feel a lot better about themselves--that its ok to be unique, or different, or strange. And as for Britney, I'm not ashamed to say I like her music because I like her producers, her records are so well put together by her handlers--Gaga also songs for Britney Spears, among many artists she has written for prior to Interscope letting her do her own music.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 02:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I meant that more in the "oh my God, I like the same music as my (grand)daughters" sense.

I guess I have trouble differentiating between "the act" and "the normal person", since the former is all you ever see... normal people are boring to the media. Vili 点 02:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Also I got no idea what I want to do later.I could go for Engineer (Civil,Bio,...) , Psychologist or just politics (although I'm guessing that would frustrate me to no end since people tend to be really retarded around here, about as retarded as any member of the Tea party in America).Well Technically I can do anything but woodchopping (goodbye hands) or interpreter (English - dutch are ok especially compared to classmates but I suck coconuts at german,french or any other gay language made for people that are unable to comprehend english) also (I love to put most of my message between brackets apparently). Lilondra 21:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

All dead languages, only Spanish and Russian are worth learning, especially if you ever decide to move to California. Political careers will turn you evil, unless you like taking bribes, then by all means go for it.

I get about 10 tours/calls a week from people who speak Russian and Spanish and I have to let them leave. It makes me sad.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 00:46, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Let me clarify...in California, speaking these 2 languages is crucial, as there is an abundance of people who speak Spanish and Russian and nothing else. Most of them cannot be helped by me or my staff at various sites because we can't communicate with them to rent to them, sign leases, help them fill out their rent payments and so on. They have their small 5 & 6 year old children translate, which in most cases, I can't allow because the translation needs to be made by an adult because we mainly discuss information of a legal matter. I also had many tenants in the bay Armond, who are Asian, but they all speak English, or enough of it, that I have never said "man I wish I spoke Japenese" out of the need to not close a tour.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 01:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Armond, weeaboo is cool and all, but from a practical point of view you're almost certainly not going to be an international business tycoon before Asia takes over the world (if it does - go USA, rah rah), therefore it's honestly quite limited use unless you, like, live in Chinatown. Anyway - most Bay Area Asians, of any nationality, either speak (some and/or broken) English or have a younger generation son/daughter/whatever that does...this is because the big Asian immigration wave(s) happened long enough ago that the typical Asian you see on the street today is at least a second generation citizen. (I'm, like, fourth gen and speak no Chinese at all, except for foods.)

On the other hand, because immigration from Mexico etc. is still going on pretty big all the time, the same sort of expectation can't be held for them... there is indeed a fair chance that such a person won't speak English, or at least not well enough to effectively communicate, especially with someone like Yasmin who does not know Spanish. I'm not blaming, though - I chose to study French instead of Spanish (and how much of that do I remember, lol) and it is pretty likely I'll be kicking myself in the future just like you.

Russian is kind of surprising, though, I was not aware that many Russians were in this area... I've never met one anyway. Vili 点 01:08, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I might add that most Japanese (can't speak for Chinese) schools start teaching kids English around fifth or sixth grade or so. As you where. *disappears* — Jon Lupen 01:14, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm back in Sacramento now and we have a huge number of Russian immigrants--particularly in West Sacramento and Yolo County. Both Sacramento and the Bay have many Spanish speaking residents, so I encounter them equally in both areas.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 03:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Ignoring the fucking walls of text : I think evil people turn into politicians and not the other way around.While Chinese and japanese might come in handy I think that if we will all learn some kind of universal language it won't be japanese or chinese.For 2 reasons,1 The chinese and japanese language is alot harder then the english one.The most important reason however is that China and Japan are now taking over,but they haven't taken over.America is still the center of the world to some degree and I think that by the time China becomes the center again most of them will have learned English.Wether they are the rising star or not doesn't matter since they'll most likely have to learn english to get to the top. Also I don't want to be a psychologist because it would make me manipulate people because face it : People are F'in primates.You'd be suprised how easy it is to reach the subconscienceness (that is so written wrong) of people.Another downside is that well there are alot of psychologists already and right now people need engineers.Like really really need them.Like getting a job before you graduate.Lilondra 06:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

It's not actually the difficulty of the language, but rather that there are like 9001 billion different dialects (at least for Chinese...probably somewhat less for a little island like Japan) so standardization is a real bitch. Even the most common dialect, Mandarin, has regional variations... Also, it would be pretty hard for people to get used to a "hieroglyph" type language as opposed to letters. I can also speak from a little experience that as a printer of, say, a newspaper, it is really daunting to force a picture language into a format that was designed for English. (Right to left, or up and down if you are being fancy...) Finally, there's so many phrases and meanings and..."things"... that just cannot be translated from Asian languages. That is a strength and a weakness, but mostly a big conundrum for standardization. (Same for any language really, but it's bit easier with Spanish and French and others...)

Also, the real reason politicians are evil is because Western culture is heavy with populist influences. Vili 点 07:01, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I keep forgetting to look at your site when I get home, but I'll get around to it. It's blocked at work, but I wanted to ask if you are implementing a crafting system? I did some work on the CNR script and it's pretty good and easily customizable. Also, I was DMing on a PW with a guy named Gryphon. He created a script that basically makes each merchant its own auction house. The player puts an item into the stock of a particular merchant, another player buys it, the seller comes back and the merchant has money for him after taking out a "deposit fee". There might be better scripts out there now, but those were some excellent ones back in the day. — Gares 18:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

We did decide in the last few weeks to add a crafting and rune system to the module. Shard is toying with it now. We also added a special weapons and armor upgrade NPC for players who like a particular "look" to their armor and do not want to part with it for better stats, but can add various stats to the armor so it can "grow with them". Obviously, this particular NPC's services will be expensive, but worthwile to some. We also have a stylist to change your face and hair, resting zones, player housing, 2 transport systems (similar to Diablo 2), mounts, an auction house and a Kenye West makes a cameo (as Kenye East) as our main city's town crier.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 17:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't hard...but its one of the longer story areas. The mage tower and Redcliffe are the harder ones, if I recall. I reccomend doing the mage tower first to unlock Wynne because if you aren't a spirit mage yourself, you will need her...especially when you go after the urn and you're brave and strong like I was.--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 23:09, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I just killed Flemeth, it wasn't THAT hard. We had 2 deaths but with Wynne they were straight back up.--♥neshot 23:29, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Adrin couldn't kill her. I killed her the first time out because I knew she doesn't leave the hilltop and I positioned my party accordingly where myself and Wynne took no damage. I pew pew'd her and Wynne kept up Alistair. The mountain top with the urn is my favorite part. Use the horn caller when you get to the top. I assure you, it will be very challenging. --*Yasmin Parvaneh* 07:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if it's just me but in large fights like archdemon the game can be 20 seconds late from my actions (I cast the spell, no effect untill 20 seconds). --Boro 08:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Never happened to me.--♥neshot 08:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Probably because I only have 1x512 + 1x256 mbytes of memory. Another interesting fact about this lag is that the game itself progresses normally, only the non-visual actions are late. Also it lets you bypass the spells' recharge, because before the spell's effect takes place, the recharge doesn't begin. --Boro 16:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

More than likely whats happening is you are experiencing the games memory leak. The game essentially snowballs memory usage and the longer you play the more ram its using. Next time it happens try resetting the game and see if that helps.--Venture 17:30, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
