Geelef

So, basically, you're skipping all classes now

Yeah, I was thinking about 'learning' your nexuses at a teacher too, but indeed, that would be a hell of a job to keep the question up to date (make sure noone knows the answers before they start the test). I'd say let the % of succes depend on how much money you donate, the more money the higher the chances are, make it sure if you wanna pay for 100% it costs more than 10 times the 10%; leaving a little time between two tries - say five - ten minutes. So leveling up really fast is more expensive than leveling up slow (but it's also less secure). Maybe something really stupid and boring should be done before you raise the nexus, and it wouldn't get you any exp - like, if it turns out your vegetal nexus got raised from 0 to 1, you'd have to find 20 flowers, but if it had gone from 20 to 21, you'd have to find 50 cactusses, 30 veggies, and 20 different flowers or something, but if you harvest those things, you wont get exp (it goes to the nexus already) ^.^ The sort of thing you gotta do depends on the nexus raised, the difficulty depends on the enxus level.

((I really Like it! *shivers* Now, let's see if we can do something about those creatures...)) Lolen screamed, she screamed like she never had. 'Wake up! Oh please wake! I'm going to die!' She looked back at the creature that was squeezing the life out of her arm. It seemed to grin, its evil mouth was cranked up a bit. 'No!' Lolen kicked it whereever she could, but it didn't seem to feel the elvish boots penetrate its skin. Geelef hadn't woke up yet, the only thing he did was murmer a bit and turn around. The creature's mouth opened silently, it's fierce teeth shimmering in the dark. Lolen punched on its nose - but nothing seemed to harm it. The teeth slowly came closer, instoppable. Lolen closed her eyes, soon she would feel sharp bone slicing through her body... She could feel the ends of the teeth rubbing along her waist. She shivered. This was it... But she would not die - not that day. A large roar accompanied a white tiger jumping on the creature, throwing it off Lolen. At the moment Cath had roared, Geelef woke up. 'Huh... What's goi- Uh oh.' Without thinking twice, he grabbed his staff and pointed it at the creature that had held Lolen. With the faintest muttering, and help of a small, greenish glowing orb that he hold in his left hand, a large, green jolt hit the creature. It twisted and curled, before spatting into a thousand pieces. Along with the creature, the orb vanished into thin air. The other creatures noticed the green light, and now all attention was directed at the three travellers. 'Guard her, Cath!' Geelef shouted. Catherina ran towards Lolen, growling whenever one of the dark creatures came near, once or twice jabbing her great paws at one. Lolen slowly scrambled up, looking around wildly. 'Help!' No sound came out of her mouth, but even so Geelef threw his sword to Lolen. It landed only inches in front of her. 'Just swing!' Geelef yelled, while he braced himself for two dark creatures racing towards him. With a huge swing of his staff, he brought one down, while he ducked to dodge the other. A ripping noise told him his cape was torn to pieces by the creatures wings. Not seeing Lolen, he shouted into the dark: 'Head east! There're old ruins there, we can hide in those!' Another creature speeded towards him, he evaded it's claws, while the creature passed above him, he jabbed his staff through it, piercing its stomach. Jabbing out his bloodshed staff, he heard Lolen's faint voice yell 'That's for my father!' then a roar from Cath and a little scream from Lolen. No! he thought. He rushed past two other creatures, towards Lolen.

Wasn't it Sweden with a murdered minister? That'd explain the bad government :| Dunno for sure though. And heck, you're so right, Sweden is beautiful (To Izzy: I'm not stupid enough to touch such a frog Maybe I'll send you some poison in a bottle labeled 'Wine' )

Slowly, as if he was thinking very deeply, Geelef said, 'Well, I'm just glad to know you do know a little magic. It means that, deep down, you're able to use it in times of great need. I won't press you to learn it, if you don't want to, but you just need to know that magic is a part of you, it belongs in you, and in this world. Like I said before, magic itself isn't good or bad, it's the way it's used that matters.' He stopped there, and his thoughts seemed to wander away from the subject of Lolen saying she didn't know magic. 'But.. Sir? Am I not going to be punished? Or even shouted at?' Lolen asked in a tiny voice. Geelef looked surprised. 'Ofcourse not! I'm your friend and helper, not your father, or your master. If you want to hide things from me, that'd disappoint me, but I won't stop you - it's up to you to decide what you want me to know.' Then he smiled, 'Just don't be afraid of me, or of my judgement, I won't think bad about you, or try to hurt you in any way.' Lolen shuffled her feet a bit, drawing little circles in the sand with her boots. 'I - I know...' She looked at him with watery eyes. 'It - it was terrible to lie to you!' Then she flung herself around his neck, crying. 'Now now, don't cry, it's alright...' Geelef set her on a large trunk, sat next to her and said, 'It really doesn't matter, you know? I just met you, I wouldn't have trust me either.' Lolen smiled a bit, wiped off her tears and stood up. 'You're right. We should move on. That plain you talked about yesterday, is it far?' Geelef nodded his head. 'Only two miles, we'll be there in notime.' And indeed, half an hour later the woods cleared, and a vast, green plain emerged from behind a little hill. It was covered with grass, yellow, purple and white flowers, a few bushes scattered on it. All sorts of animals were grazing, or enjoying the sun. Lolen ran into the fields, letting the sun tickle her skin. 'Ohh it's lovely!' she exclamated. 'And all those animals!' She turned to Geelef. 'Can you tell me how they're called?' Geelef smiled at her happiness, nodded and said, 'There, by those bushes, those are puma's, left of them -' he pointed to the left '- is a bear. And there, a wolf. Don't wanna come near it. Right of those puma's is a little group of boars. We gotta shoot some for dinner.' 'Shoot one?' 'Yeah, you know, hit it with an arrow, to eat it.' 'That's disgusting!' 'But it tastes good.' Lolen rolled her eyes up. 'You're hopeless.' Geelef laughed. 'Maybe. But if you want some food, you'll have to kill some animals.' That moment their conversation was interrupted by Catherina, running past them, towards a small group of beautiful, black and orange tigers. When she was near, she growled a little, and the group started sniffing her. 'Looks like Cath found some company' Lolen said. 'Yeah, she knows that group, she's been here when I was in the hospital in Cassa.' Lolen raised her eyebrows. 'Long story...' Geelef replied. That evening they had made a campfire, a boar on the spit. 'Tastes pretty good, doesn't it?' Geelef said, when he looked at Lolen eating. 'Oh, yes Sir, it's delicious!'

I was just wondering; what's the most remarkable n00b that you've ever seen? I'll give you my supern00b: Nardo and I were just sitting, chatting, in the IP tavern, when a player, called phileastman comes up to us and asks how you could drink stuff. We politely tell him you can't drink, that you use them for potions. He shouts that it isn't true, we're lying, asks why we lie, on our response that we don't, he walks to the door, very charmingly calles us asswipes and disappears... So, what's your weirdest n00by ever?

lol.. You could always ask someone to do it for you - as long as it's not me, I hate heightmapping.

Sicne you live in NY; you'll prolly go somewhere in the US, right? I say come to Europe sometime, pretty nice over here. And make some indies if you can, always looks pretty C001 (BTW; I do board, best sport ever! Just got me a new Burton Bullet with Flow Bindings )

Ah man, I'd like to live in Vietnam, in the middle of the jungle. Always loved nature. Dang, was I dissapointed when I couldn't go to the World Jamboree in Vietnam!

Omg... Weird noobs And Thalos, Yeah, I remember Realviking, he and his friend called me the green guy 0.0 Talking about how big their 'dicks' were... Hmz. And then they told me they hated someone called 'Thalos' When I asked why, they told me you were leading them for some quest or something, and then slaughtered them I was laughing like hell, but didn't tell m, just pointed them at the GC and went along...

((Nice!)) When Lolen told Geelef her thoughts, he smiled a little and said: 'It's not your fault, it was my choice to sleep here. And even if we had walked on, we would've been found. There's no stopping it. And we made anyway, didn't we?' Lolen nodded silently, taking care of Geelef's wound. She was still upset about the attack, but Geelef's words had calmed her down a little. Neither said a word while both thought about what happened. 'Hey, I was wondering, do you know how to wield a weapon? Any weapon at all?' Geelef suddenly asked, breaking the silence of the night. 'Except my fingernails, no, sir.' Lolen replied. 'Ah well, maybe I should teach you how to use a sword, maybe a staff or a bow - although for the latter we need to wait till we get to another town. And how many times need I tell you? It's Geelef, or Gee, but not 'sir'.' The Elf smiled. 'It'll be long till this all ends, we might as well get along.' Lolen smiled back and said. 'Yes, that would be nice indeed. But my manners won't allow me to call you anything but 'Sir' or 'Mister'.' 'You'll be over it soon enough,' Geelef smiled back. 'It won't be a nice life, this night is just a small sample of what will come. But not to worry, we'll get stronger too, we will find help in the most unexpected places. That's how this world works. Once we get out of here, and find a decent place to rest, I'll teach you how to fight. For now we can stay here and rest some more. Tomorrow we'll be in a huge clearance in this forest. It's more like a plain surrounded by trees - there we can rest, maybe we will meet hunters or other travelers.'

Heh, I like your avatary Only one thing I'd change - the ruby should also be nonlit, so the normal red, not always emitting light, if you get what I mean And nice go at the mirror, a frame around it, and it could do perfectly as a magical portal of some sort. And BTW; Hey Sylvanna It'd be cool if you joined us

Not really... At first he got one potion in about a hundred gobbies - he felt sad A few hours later, he's got a lot of items - he felt g00d Kinda normal reaction, I'd say

Ah, heightmap. One of my less favs Anyway, let's get it on with: If you hit tab (and heightmap is active) all the heightmap tiles (those tiny little square thingies) will jump to their real, 3d place. Hit tab again, and they'll jump back to the ground. (So, a 0 meter high tile will stay at the ground when you hit tab, a 1.00 meter high tile will move 'up' a bit, a -1.00 meter will move down. Hit tab again and they all end up on the floor again.) Other basics are just -2.20 is unwalkable, chars can't move up or down more then 40 centimeters at a step (that is, two steps up or down in the heightmap).

Maybe he doesn't know you, and thus can't take your answers for true That is, any asswipe could answer, not knowing the right answer.

Her next though was to scream out load, but that would certainly draw the attention of what she thought was the Black Guard. So she remained quiet once more. Only then her eye fell on the white tiger. She poked it with a small finger, holding her other hand over Cath's mouth, so she wouldn't roar. Cath's eyes opened up, her feet moved a bit. 'Shh... Don't make any noise.' Lolen said, not knowing if Cath would understand. But Cath didn't do a thing. 'Can you wake him? There's something here... Quietly though... we don't want to get unwanted attention...' Cath slowly stood up, walked to Geelef, and growled very softly. In an instant Geelef was fully awake, his hand searching for his sword. 'Sir?' Lolen murmered. 'Sir, there's something here... I think it might be th- the Black Guard.' Geelef nodded and whispered back, 'No Sir, remember... Remain still, I'll check it out.' Geelef's hand finally found his sword, he stood up silently, and walked towards the bushes, where another faint rush was heard. When he turned around, to whisper 'Get everything ready to leave at once!' a black shadow arose from the bushes behind him. Lolen froze with fear, she opened her mouth to warn the Elf, but no sound came out. Look behind you! Behind you! Oh please look!' she thought desperately.

He takes the road up north, then gets to DP; and comes in that map just south of the lake.

You know Moony's offering free guild forums at his site? (eternal-lands.de)

Grim's the storage guy in DP

That's so nice about my comp - if I hit the powerbutton it automatically shuts down. So it's like: 'DIIIIIINNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!' *Click* *Walk* *Eat*

Yeah, that's the beauty of the computer - *click* *bzzzz* *Click* *Password?* Repeat that about 10 times a day and you know how windows feels

OMFG... 'How do I quit the game?' Hehe... That's awesome

Ah, didn't see that part Then I've got no clue... Pretty weird indeed

I got the answer on 2: I think he just wanted instant-help, and didn't wanna wait a day to go on playing (can't blame him )

OMG Trop, you know this is about the second time I've heard anyone begging for items? I'm counting it
