Melisandre attacked you with a Lightning Dart spell and hit for 0 points of electric damage. Your intimate familiarity with this spell allowed you to reflexively turn the arcane energies back at the caster. You spent 1 Magic Point.
This made sense back when Spell Parry only worked on the spells that you knew, but nowadays you can parry spell that you don't know. My chap has never learnt an electric spell so can hardly be "intimately familiar" with the spell. _________________ |The Devil On Your Shoulder 4407 | Mira Lasan 1724 | Officer Horwood 1763 | A Ghast 5143 | A Velociraptor 3721 | Father Christmas 3115 |
The one that always gets me is "You are standing outside of Sea" when you're on a water tile completely surrounded by water tiles.
That's a programming limitation...
Not really? Text can be changed where you are, it's probably just not coded that way currently.
Code:
select Case movement_status
when swimming then 'You are swimming in '
when flying then 'You are flying over '
else 'You are standing outside '
end + tile_type_text
as begin_text

To elaborate: It's a limit Bob put in place which admins have to comply with.
I'll have to harass Rince to see if it's worth fixing prior to B4. _________________

I realized that I didn't set my Explorer w/Adv Thrown Weapons character to Male, as I had intended. So I did that just now. I got the following:
"Personal description and gender preferences for for Explorer w/Adv Thrown Weapons have been saved. Your preferred gender is Male and will be reflected on your next respawn. The personal description should now read:"
And then the Return to Game button. I'm pretty sure the description wasn't intended to be "Return to Game", but just looks that way because I have no personal description. I think the last line of the text should be removed when that's the case.
You read the book. It is a military manual covering the basics of mechanized infantry warfare. Many of the manuvers are quite complex.
Maneuver has an "e" in front of that "u."
English: combining silly spellings from dozens of languages, and then corrupting and hyper-correcting them to make them even sillier. We are the BEST at messed up orthography.

Word trivia: "jerry-rigged" (1959) is most likely formed from "jury-rig" (1788) colliding with "jerry-built" (1869). Every time I see this in-game, my brain wants to call it a typo. So yeah, maybe 50+ years ago it was a typo, but 50-year-old typos are words. I guess maybe language is permitted to change, I don't know, kids today, I can't even.
In response to the treaty violation by aircraft belonging to the Hamartican military – the third such incident in as many months - both houses of Parliament voted to expel Commonwealth diplomats from Laurentia and close the Hamartican Embassy in Laurentia. Sidney International Airport, closed since the Commonwealth joined the globe-spanning conflict, will receive a charter plane this afternoon to take diplomats and other embassy personnel out of the country. The Ministry of National Defence said that the Civil Guard would ensure the passengers arrive at the airport and depart aboard the plane in an orderly fashion.
