Posted: 16 Sep 2008 05:23 PM P.S. Kand, if you come back for a 1.69 update, I've a character idea that's never been tried before** and I'd like to play again. ** either a slightly (SLIGHTLY!) balding human monk or a slightly (SLIGHTLY!) balding human ranger. Youre right about that. I dont remembery you ever playing a (SLIGHTLY!) balding monk or ranger.

Now if only he'd stuck around, he could have been great! - Paul Yeah, but he died harder and longer. That has to count for something!

Posted: 19 Sep 2008 07:49 PM I've just this week discovered The Witcher. And Sid Meier's Railroads!. between troubleshooting those games and trying to mod them (and rebuilding my XP partition after a poorly-aimed linux install) my PC time is booked up. I still haven't perfected my cliche Ranger yet though, so I'll give it go again perhaps in some milieu or other in the coming years. *looks down at the next post* Fengus the Potty-Mouth! -æsir "The man that finds himself at a crossroads, and unsure of direction, is not lost.

Aria is there! I talked with her last year about Vives. it was great connecting to one of the original visionaries behind Vives script systems since I was deep into the code at that point. I don't know if she realizes that her animations (Vaei's animations) are a staple of NWN now. Project Q picked them up even which is more or less the mark of excellence in the NWN CC community. Anyway... I don't belong on this list way up there. I think I ran only a few decent events. Didn't do any "story lines". I wonder how I racked up those hours. -- I'm also Game_Warden by the way for those not in the know.

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 02:47 AM Yes, since it was mentioned, it was time to update the stats. No real surprises in this list. Here are the top 45 entries. Why 45? Because #46, Ana'Estasia Lilladweilen didn't have the decency to top 100. Sad really. Really sad. - Paul What? 50 wasn't enough? http://vives.dyndns.org/vives/Top200Deaths.html Haha!

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:19 AM From somewhere on page 1, written by PDW: Here's another one: how many other players has Dias/X killed through his summons (water elemental and hound archon come to mind). I'll never forget the time (years back) when he zapped 5 newbies in Icy Vale after warning them not to run between the archon and the orcs. *sniffs* Such beautiful deaths. Yeah... I do remember that episode in Icy Vale. One of those moments where your mouth is left hanging open. Leroy Jenkins? :P I forgot all about the water elementals though... Much to my delight I can now also add that one as a suicide method to my list of deaths. Heh.

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:25 AM *sigh* chain lightning and hound archons. it's a beautiful thing. That gives me an idea. I'm going to make a shock spider that on hit casts a weak chain lightning; maybe an on death electrical effect as well. They'll be colored blue of course.
