I think most of us did some characters which didn't work as plamed but were continued. I did a temple guardian in my early sacred2 times which was planed to support the high-elf pyro of a collegue at firefighters. But somehow the character was a total mistake. Sorce Warden Lore Armour Lore Source Warden Focus Combat Discipline Concentration Ancient Magic Smith Tactics Lore Damage Lore Spell Resistance Combat Arts modified in this Order: Fiery Ember, Charged Grid, Untouchable Force, T-Energy Shroud, Primal Mutation, Icy Evanescence The problem was not that he was too weak, but that the enemies dropped dead in a way too big area. A smaller radius would have speeded the looting significantly and even levelling. The character was continued because: It was a smith Everytime he did some forging he first was teleported to some enemies and doing a single combination: Fiery Ember, Charged Grid, Deathly Spears, Primal Mutation. Collecting only the nearby stuff and do the smithing. The items he was using were mainly from other characters. He did this playing with hiis mainly +allSkills gear for Smithing.

Cruciferous, I think we call them Kreuzbluetler, blossoms in a cross shape. Most have mustard oils, at least our turnip roots have it in the skin. So cut the skin away brfore eating raw. I use to do it with the sausage salade with may turnips.

Are you hitting her?

Ahh that is the difference. Our turnip greens are created by placing the seeds so dense that there is no underground fruit developing. The greens are way softer and more tastier this way. We have 5 different turnips not for turnip greens. The difference is mainly if they are planed for early use in year, in summer, for storage over winter, ... And you don't have to be a slave to eat the not so good food. 200 years ago people here sold (or had to give away in times of starving) the good food to towns and used the leftovers for themself being very creative in recipes. In the afterwar years these old recipes got popular again. There was a time when german nobles tried to make Texas a sort of german colony in the 1840ties. So after Alamo but before Texas was a state of the USA and before 1848 germany had its revolution. New Braunfels was founded by settlers from my area in this time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelsverein And for GoGo a recipe for a party: Sausage Salade with turnips ring of Fleischwurst (600 gramm pork sausage, something like polony, ring bologna) cut in stripes red and green paprica, cut in stripes 6 Mairüben (may turnips, our softest) cut in stripes after removing the skin 3 red onions, cut in stripe bit oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, fine cut herbs Not for vegans, but has all a body needs

We started to bring fruits, vegs , potato to the senior home few years ago. Our oldest jumped two classes at school. So when she had to do a social class at school she was too young (per law, not psychical and physical) to do medical and hygienical work at the senior home. So she should do entertaining. What she did first was interrogations of old peoples and writing down old local slang words and old recipes. Then she asked at home if she could have some fruits to try them out for some recipes at the senior home. It may be different to a senior home in a town where food is deliveted daily, often ready for eating. The one near us has big storage cellars, big kitchens and is able to run even with 2 weeks of snow blocking cars. So they have room for stuffbrought by surrounding farmers and seniors who are fit can do their recipes for the rest. I visited an old teacher at a senior home in a city. He showed me that some things weren't eaten and returned. The problem was that senior home shared same kitchen as the big bureau building nearby. Kiwi, expresso, ...might be nice, but the old people never did that. A little ugly wild apple, some Muckefrak (coffee replacement from the afterwar years), they eat that with fun,... The apples don't look nice, but they look same as they had in their garden or were stealing from neighbours as kids. If you can't eat with fun you get ill. So listening to what the seniors were used too isn't that much time and often cheaper. They weren't used to this expensive food, they grew up on countryside and learned in the afterwar years to use anything and never throw food away.

Can't remember at the moment, which of the females does a poledance when idling and wielding a polearm or two hand staff?

Can it be used for Muckefrak too?

When I said thousands, most of it are the greens Wonder if german emigrants in texas created this southern style...

A full ca-range build using meteors: 1.7 times the radius is around 3 times the area So to hit small enemies in this build - meteor should be modified for more meteors. Enemies will be hit less, so damage lore is an option because instant kills are not likely. Something positive: moving enemies are less likely to evade the now bigger damage zone unharmed. Damage lore willdo its work on small mobs. The radius is bigger : ever fought colussus by standing 4 bridges above him and aiming at your bridge and seeing half of the meteors misssing the bridge and going all the way down to colossus? He can't strike back. Level 120: 200 runes read in each of the buffs and the shower. Even without the regeneration buff the time between a shower is at 1.2s. 21 meteors each doing 15000 damage. Combat discipline mastery: 3s normal is 2.4s in a combination 100% chance for half regen makes this 1.2s

Our 14 year old played a Bärenhüter(in), ranger who looks for the bears. It is the german name for the star sign Bootes which brings a lot of meteroids. It was a small exercise: Only Combat Arts allowed to have more than one rune and to be modified: the two fire buffs and the meteor shower. A single rune, but no modification: fireball and firewave The small exercise was: Play it to niob and you get a bellows for your camera so you can do photos of small insects. Here results: it is playable, currently mid in platinum. It lacks area control but is devasting against bosses. So she works on the area control now. Up to mid gold the single point in firewave proved to be enough for small mobs. She mastered her skills in this order: pyro focus and lore, armour lore, damage lore, ... Using a Lord Wayne Playerkiller sword with socketed poison. So recharging with reg per hit and have a additional poison effect. The fire part of the sword is boosted by 2 buffs and tactics which was chosen to unlock damage lore. http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Lord_Wayne%27s_Player_Killer

We don't have this big forest fires. Also our area is measured, digitalized, ... So in case of a fire Sprengschläuche will be used. It are water hoses full of water which contain ropes of an explosive material. The igniters are computer controlled (area, wind, fire speed, ground...) and ignite just at a certain distance to the fire. They will do a water curtain which stops the fire (hopefully), but exercises worked fine. The last 'fire' we had was a farmer who burned wheat with a fungus disease when a sudden fall wind blowed the sparks hundreads metres away, over the 10m stripe he had plowed. Took 12 minutes from alarm to be there with our scout car and 1 minutes of its high pressure impulse gun to extinguish the fire in the forest. Was the last fire fighting event we had in a forest. Way more often we have to cut people out of cars after a crash. Fire prevention lines in our area which has a lot of fall winds would have to be so big that there wouldn't be a forest anymore The explosive water hoses are used when demolishing high buildings. The dust wave after the crash of the building is stopped by creating water curtains, see the pictures here. http://www.feuerwehrgeschichte.de/spezial/lf_2rsystem.htm The problem with forest fires is: the igniters and the explosives are high tech and under the weapon export stop. So giving them to civil persons, as are firefighters, is a lot of bureaucratzy. Our company works with explosives and is mid in a forest. So in our case the water hoses are stored at the company not at the fire dep. Our computer simulation of a wind power tower and a failure in the gearing causing a fire did sparks in an area of 500m atthe planed height. If these towers are build, they should be build on hills with no forests. But this conflicts with: in our district each of such a hill has a castle on its top

My hard core Mentalist did around 650 quests in niob. And he did most of his experience with killing, level 171. So I doubt that you can go level 200 just with doing quests only a single time.

We have like 200 trees of different sorts: apples, plums, pears, quinces, reneclaude, mirabells, cherries, servus tree,... The apples and pears I gave were old trees. So no quick harvesting from a wagon but long ladders needed. Also there were bats and hornets nesting in the trees. So I waited till they left with the harvest and used the crane from my unimog instead of ladders. The fruits were just a picking here and there while I checked the trees for animals in treeholes, loose branches which would have to be saw away,..I was puzzled when I had 20 big baskets of pears and apples in just an afternoon. I was told that the seniors like the old local sorts they were used too more than the new sorts found in shops so I just drove there and unloaded half of the fruits. It is somehow strange to see classmates from our kids refusing offered apples because they don't look nice. But they just never saw chemicals and were more like wild apples. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Malus-Ananasrenette.jpg

Do you plan to add magic coup to your build?

We eat thousands a year... But we saw them really dense so there will be no underground fruits. The green parts above ground are eaten like spinach. It is called Stielmus or Ruebstiel. http://en.foodlexicon.org/s0001050.php For the underground fruit, I think the english plants are softer in taste. We use to do: grated with some onions and wild carrots. Egg, some buckwheat and then baked in a pan like potato pancakes. Old recipe using local plants, less calories than potato pancakes. Found an english turnip pancake recipewhich is a bit different. http://andloveittoo.com/turnip-pancakes/ Most people just serve them cut in pieces with butter, but our local turnips are strong in taste. So pancakes or a stew with wild beef.

Offshore rotors at coasts can be smaller because of the different heat storage of water and earth there is more wind at coasts. In our region the constant wind ( as in numbers making it cost effectiv ) starts several hundred feet above ground, so big towers and big rotors are needed. The power lines would be using masts, so forests along he lines would have to be chopped.

The place the rotors would be is already used for a sort of sun energy. Squares with small trees of different ages for wood pellets heating. The valleys hold the centuries old trees which are high quality and it would be stupid to chop them for support roads for wind energy. Wood pellets have all what wind and sun energy doesn't have at the moment. Using the energy even if there is no wind or sun, very short transport because of local users, ...

Since germany did a law to stop all nuclear powerplants there is a search for alternatives. One obvious is to use offshore wind energy. But then how to bring the power to south germany where it is needed. So some crazy people try to place wind power plants on every hill in the mid german mountains. Sadly that is the place I live. The problem is that the government gives money for each new wind power plant and guarantees a certain price if selling the power. So currently we have the stupid effect that north germany is producing more power already than needed and sells it cheap to neighbour countries (because of the to few exisitng powerlines to south germany). So in these countries the prices drop while in germany the prices raise and raise because of the guarantee for the price and south germany has to buy water energy from alpes countries. So I see no sense in more wind power plants just for money making if there is no power grid or a power storage for calm wind days. The state government did a map where wind power plants could be built and six 300metre towers with 80m radius for the rotors would be around our house. So what to do? State interrest versus personal interrests, costly thing at court. The best quick solution are strangely endangered species. If an endagered bird of prey is having a nest closer than 1.5km or endangered bats or small birds are closer than 200m the rotors wouldn't be allowed. So I have some new friends: the Mopsfledermaus (pug dog bat or in english Barbastelle). Rotmilan (red kite) ... and some I hold in reserve to bring them up whenever a new discussion starts. I see a great future for biologists who are also lawyers. I may not be the only one who doesn't want a wind power plant in the backyard and not everyone grews up with knowing the animals as a young child already.

There are studies that nicotin may prevent or help against the Parkinson disease. So perhaps e-cigs are not so bad. But on the other side: most medical drugs have not just one effect and not every one is a good one. So if the Parkinson founds are new, I wonder what else is hidden and not found yet. People who stopped smoking seem to have a slightly higher chance to suffer from Parkinson later. But in my mathematical eyes the number of researched people is a bit to slow to allow a real test. A pepperoni (and its nicotin) in the salade is already the dosis needed to stop Parkinson with a higher than normal probability. So I see no sense for me personally to start smoking Nicotin is also in tomatos and potatos...

What was the final name? We gave 600 pounds of different fruits to the seniors homes nearby this week.

Vodka? I fear the last 10 bottles we got were used not in the sense of the producer. When we do parties ,people bring bottles. That's normal, but we both don't drink alcohol if the next day is a working day or when having readiness. So all the bottles remain untouched till autumn. Then we start to do x-mas presents for the next year. Big glasses filled with pieces of quinces (leftovers from marmelade and Quittenbrot making) and then vodca or Doppelkorn till all is well covered. Then the glass is closed and put in the storage cellar. After a year it is opened, filtered and each litre of f the alcoholic liquid is mixed with 400ml water and 4ßßg sugar and some vanilla rods. All short boiled and the vanilla removed. The result is a nice quinces liqueur. Filled in decorative bottles, etiquettes hand written and a nice rippon band woven around. Nice presents for these 'people who have everything'.

Today (3rd octobre) is reunion day in germany. So a lot of the Fall of the Wall documentation, Scorpions with Wind of Change, Nena with Wunder geschehen (miracles happen), Udo Lindenberg with Sonderzug nach Pankov ,... So if you ever wondered why this is in Sacred2: http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Berlin_Wall Watch this video, the time, the people leaving eastern germany via hungary the weeks before and then the stressed Schabowski misreading from his paper, a paper and a misreading that changed the world. I remember this night as being in the army (airport firefighter) and we went in full alertness from one second to the other because noone knew what was happening.

Gym? Never was in any if you exclude 8 years army. Breast muscle training is feeding the horses, using a 7 feet fork to move 60 pounds hay packets, or cleaning the horses. Onetime the left hand is front of thefork, the next time right... Rubber band running... Have Dogs Bicycle , use one for transports below ground at work,... Stepper, same muscles as driving my bike crosscountry to work... Okay it helps to have a doc as wife who made a list which muscles I have and which normal activities would train them if doing certain moves. Next gym is 20 minutes away with the bike, 30 with car. Changing clothes, shower,... All in all 3 hours for 45 minutes at the gym?

I have a telephon contract which allows to choose a new phone every 2 years. Since I am quite comfortable with my old one I asked if our 14 years old wants a new one. She said she has to look up the photography forumfor a good one. Never heard this argument before. But it seems you can attach certain phones to DSLR cameras as an extern monitor and remote control. I feel like an dinosaur still using my old analog cameras. She is doing nature photography a lot and currently photographs badgers.

I use to carry some of these cherry size radish with me. Whenever I feel hungry I eat one. Worked fine when I was in exams mainlyreading books and not moving around. I got so used to it that I still do it. So no other snacks between the main meals
