Shantu

I watched Wolf's Rain and Ghost in the Shell recently. I can only recommend both of them.

Maybe it's just me, but it was the story and all the beautiful art that intrigued me in this game. However, I agree that a newbie (with other games in mind) will always choose the highest number like biermann said. I honestly don't remember how bad the waiting was, but it might have had its magic. Patience is a virtue and all that. I agree however that making it faster is probably a good idea. You still shouldn't be able to breeze through the story in 10 minutes. As for the fighting part.. it seems to be a good idea to tutor the players on it, but please don't make the story mode optional. It just seems to go against everything the game is built on.

Happy birthday to you, Peace.

Congratulations!

Shantu Thank you!

Let's try this. [spoiler][code]<?php //adapted to md world $instr['title'] = "Poison"; //the description will be the only thing to describe the needed steps to the ones that try to help you prepare the recipe //be sure you include all steps in it but tell it so that they wont be identical words with the steps defined below $instr['description'] = " First of all, you need to cut the Nightshade, the Mushrooms and the Pimped Grasan Tongues into tiny pieces, then drop the first two in the cauldron. We will need the tongues later. Heat for about 10 minutes while slowly stirring. Afterwards add the Toxicodendrite Powder and continue stirring. Do this for about 5 minutes. When the mixture looks like a black goo, add the Weaken Stone and pour all the water into the cauldron. Before you get carried away thinking you are making the infamous stone soup, add the Pimped Grasan Tongues for flavour and boil the water off. This will take about 2 hours. Now comes the tricky part: force the Tormented Soul into the mixture. When you are ready, sprinkle it with Timeless Dust and spice it according to your taste. Let it cool for an hour. When the poison is made, pour it into an empty bottle.

I would probably answer these questions too - I am curious.

A bit late.. but happy birthday.

Whatever this means, I am interested: Sept 21. 2010 110001101110100101000010111000101

Happy Birthday Sephirah.

Happy birthday Z! May no one hurt the Tree this day.

Happy birthday!

#20 is Demo Account!

I'm currently a student in high school.. and I have no idea what I want to be. A chef maybe..

Farewell, fellow Sentinel. We await your return.

A bit too late I see, but still: happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Ah yes, there was, but I assure you that the second chance was lost long ago... self experience.

I like the idea, though I am no trader myself. Fortune's well sounds good also. That big square somewhere deeper inside the Tribunal, before the temple might also fit the theme, but it might be a bit too far away from civilisation.

I gave Sephirah Caelum a pimped grasan with 65 age. She was the first one who hasn't got anything yet amd spoke at the Howling Gates.

I don't like GGG, even if I go there sometimes. It is nice, it gives free wins to your creatures and it helps in the beginning of MP5 but.. it drains all the people from the other areas of the realm. You wonder why don't you see anyone awake? They are all there. And, as it had been told before, you will learn nothing there (I wonder how many of the all-time GGGers could give working solutions to Burns' race quest). It is also in a place far away from normal areas. So, I voted yes. However, it is unlikely that it will just disappear. So, how about relocating it? To a place.. closer to civilisation? If you are afraid of the big bad veterans who come and beat you, set up a few trees. You might gather a few losses, but you won't have to heal your creatures all the time.. and you can farm the people Burns mentioned to get victories (including me).
