    Hay DE, you do know that (1 stone)=(1/10 pound) right. You just said you way about 1.9 pounds. I think you meant 1900 stones or 190 pounds, unless you got shrunk and you’re the size of a pixy now. That would be funny.

    Yep… page 115 of the Arcanum Manuel “stone – the unit of weight in Arcanum. 10 stone = 1 poundâ€￾

    It is done… you are now a tiny wee man.

    Don’t worry you can just say it wore off in the middle of the night, or while Anna was treating my wounds or something. Those spells don’t last forever.

    I was actually using the Imperial stone that equals 14 pounds and is what the manual uses for describing the average weight of races. :)

    And here I went through all the trouble finding an online converter that would transform kilos into stone in keeping with the style of the thread only to see myself as a pixie!

    If anyone doesn't understand what I said, please ask me. If the majority doesn't understand me, I'll try making more sense.

    Oh, no no, it's fine! Although you could have written some parts in dialog format.

    That way it's easier to switch on / off our dumb dialog translator. :)

    Hooga?

    You mean like:
    I then hurried after the lady and said "Laydee, mee needs to finds plase to get magik lalala.".
    "What is magick la la la?", she asked curiously.
    "Make me hurtses gon", I explaned.

    "Oh, healing", she realised.
    "Yup!" I replied.

    "You do look a little bruised. Here, this will help". She then took something out of her pocket and rubbed it on my wounds. The wounds started closing up very quickly.

    I dunno :???: .

    Oh, no, you can't do that, if you're playing first person you have to talk and think like your character (well, at least that's my opinion). What I wanted to say with my dialog transcription is that it'd be better to have the lines one under the other, in a way. Like different characters talking in different lines, not all together. Otherwise, you could write in third person and add dumb dialogs for your character. Whichever is easier for you. I was only "complaining" (I wasn't really, just suggesting) about the format.
    Welcome home, Vyenna!

    haha! takk! :)

    Ok, so i have a proposition. Ive been thinking about it for a long time and come to the conclusion that it might be cool. So here goes:

    The basic idea is that this adventure doesn't end. Now, that probably sounds crazy and dumb and whatnot, but just hear me out. (or read me :p). When we are done with this vampire quest (if the thread doesnt die) we dont end it. We keep going. Maybe our characters decides to stick together and start a career as adventurers. Ofcourse this cant happen if we all get tired of RP-ing, but i know i wont for a while.

    When you get tired of your current character, you either kill him/her or retire him/her (if you think you might use him later or something.) Then you introduce your new character and he joins the party. Now, if some of us get tired of it, or quits the house of lords alltogether, that doesnt necessarily mean the end. we just got a new member, retard (i dont remember how you spell it exactly), and maybe a few more will come so that when one of us retires, a new one comes to take the retired members place.

    Just an idea. What do you guys think??

    I never thought of ending the story. We could screw it up if we did. :p

    Oh!!!! That's what you meant by that. I think it might take away from the fun if I wrote with only dumb dialog when I spoke (for me at least :D ). Also, it wouldn't feel natural (after all, in Arcanum the logbook entries are dumb too, and this is kinda like the logbook entries). Sorry to the ppl who don't like to translate into normal english, but my future posts probably won't be as long as my first one, I'll also try misspelling my words a little bit less misspelltly and making more sense in general if you guys have trouble translating.

    Oh, and Vyenna.
    :) :) :) :) :) :)
    G-R-E-A-T Idea!!!

    Another suggestion to add to what Vyenna said. If lots of ppl just start leaving THGBOT, we could put advertisements in our sigs like Baal did (that's the reason I found this). If we all had adds, it would easily attract more 'characters'.

    I've just noticed that Baal is no longer an ad-guy. But anyway, if people are interested in joining the story, they'll check the forum, right?

    I just noticed that Nukenin is no longer alive (at least not for nearly a month). Did he tell anyone that he was leaving or something? It would have been exciting for what's-his-name to meet a half-ogre. I can see it now.

    Oooooh! Ogur! Me be ogir too. You be ogir and mee be oger!! Hi der ogir!

    Congratulations! You scored 56%

    You're pretty set in your ways, my friend. You need to learn to move with the times a bit. (I don't care if you're 314 years old!)That crushed velvet cape is getting a little tired looking, you'll look hella conspicuous. However, you're hypnotic powers and traditional good looks will go a long way to fend off those pesky Vampire Slayers...as well as the impressive ability to bench press a Toyota with little or no effort...

    Im a traditionalist it seems... and i who just made fun of them in my post :p

    I think it’s just because I don’t know many actors, and the only vampire movies I’ve seen are…
    Buffy… (as long as there talking about William The Bloody and not Spike)
    Blade… (Not mentioned)
    Quean of The Dammed… (Not mentioned, that’s my type of vampire)

    And I said I’d ware a trench coat not a crushed velvet cape.

    ![derail warning]!

    Ive seen Underworld, Interview with a vampire(is it 'interview'? i can never remember), Queen of the Damned and Blade. Does Lestat appear in both queen and interview or do i remember incorrectly? Ah, maybe its because they are from the same author... arent they? lots o' questions :p

    I'd say Underworld and interview are the best movies. Reason: Underworld because of the story (plus, Kate Beckinsale has *the* perfect face... in my opinion) Interview because of Brad Pitt :D

    oh, and Baal: i have a higher score than you! moahahahaha!
