    They should making the ultimate military SIM/ game hire 5000 chinese/indian IT employees with food salary. Take the best integration people from community as manager/advisor and keep your current BIS employees as control management unit. In few years we can have a product without any single bug/ complishing every single request/suggestion from any people in this community ever made.

    I don't know if I should cry or laugh at that. Please tell me you're being sarcastic. :butbut:

    No... just forget about ranks and stats. There is no such thing.

    By stats, everybody means the scoreboard, where your kills and deaths are shown.

    You leave the server = You lose the stats.

    If the mission maker implements a ranking system as in Evolution, you can get a higher rank. When and how you get a promotion is up to the mission maker, and again, only valid for the time being on this mission.

    You end the mission (or server crashes/changes mission/restarts) = You lose the rank.

    Only difference between the two is, that you keep your rank (on this mission) because it is user-scripted, while the stats are in the original game and don't have the intention to be saved and reloaded after reconnect.

    For better comprehension, think of a "mission" as of a "round" in other games.

    e.g. at BF map, round's over after 30 min. Or whatever. :D

    Ohmygawd ! There are those hideous novels by Phil Athans who utterly destroyed BG in his books :eek:

    About the comics: what the hell ? I didn't even know about them ! Where did you come across them ?

    And why does Kivan have Coran's face tattoo O_o

    Yeah, i read some reviews about Athans masterpieces of trash. I never dared to read those books :D

    The comic is classic though, I stumbled across it years ago on the web, but just the same shitty resolution, never saw the original print. It might have been issued as a free gift at some RPG and tabletop stores to advertise the upcoming BG, but I'm not quite sure...

    About the tattoo... I have no frigging idea :D

    Well, it's D&D Forgotten Realms setting after all :D

    I gotta agree that in ToB you were practically a demi-god near the end but then, I liked it because it properly ended that bhaalspawn saga.

    But hell, the interjections, banters, romances, NPCs, soundtrack and story were a movie quality in BG2 :)

    EDIT: methinks I sound a bit like a nerd after writing all this stuff :lookaround:

    Don't know, I had the feeling that the whole setting more resembled Al-Qadim with all this oriental stuff (plus the trip to Planescape in the tavern with those freaky bards).

    Sure the romances and all this stuff was quite nice, but nothing beats the hunt for Sarevok and the ultimate encounter in BG1 :p

    In fact, I only beat BG2 + ToB once, while BG1 + TotSC over 10 times (including on LAN with friends) :D

    Obama's approval rating is sinking:

    Rasmussen: Obama Disapproval Rating Matches Lowest Level Recorded

    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

    Thank god, since everything he promised was a giant lie and people are starting to get with it.

    So which U.S. president (let's start after Roosevelt) actually fulfilled his promises and didn't just tell "giant lies"?

    Can you name one?

    BTW these rasmussen reports are made out of polls with approx. 1500 voters, so come on...

    @the_shadow

    I'm not sure if it helps...

    I had some similar problem with ArmA1, where after about 20-30 mins, my computer crashed. In my case, there were suddenly red artifacts all over the screen, the game stopped and resulted in BSOD.

    Only thing that helped was UNDERCLOCKING the memory clock of my 8800GT from 950 MHZ to 900 MHZ.

    I can play without any crashes, but it seems the loading of textures etc takes a bit longer, BUT I heavily accept this because I was finally able to PLAY :yay:

    My tip is try to underclock your card a bit and see if it helps.

    lol @ that.

    In Germany we have a proverb: Getroffene Hunde bellen

    I think there is no proper equivalent in English but translated it says, "dogs that have been hit, will bark"

    I guess you can figure the meaning :D

    "I have seen OFP2 & it quite literally going places Arma2 could only dream of..."

    Yeah, you got shot in the head. But nothing serious, blabla, you know the drill. :D
