  1. Sacred2 runs a gameserver. You are connected to this gameserver even if you play solo I think. You allowed sacred2 in your firewall?
  2. The colour scheme was first on a special VW polo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Polo_Mk3#Polo_Harlequin Stearing wheel, seats, everything was coloured this way. Still some harlequin fan clubs over here.
  3. Put another, Harlquin painted Beetle. My brother has a ceiling door mainly for these foltable seat-bank and tables for outdoor parties. He runs a band and they play at weddings and such. Hope it is a good compromise of usefulness, fun, low cost and youth. If my dad in law says the car is okay I know that there will be no mechanical problems. The car shares a lot of parts with the Golf V and the Touran. It has just no independant suspension in the rear but a beam axle or however it is called in english. So replacement parts are not too expensive, car graveyard for example.
  4. The car had more extras than exspected: A nice extra of the car is something like a block heater. A timer controlled burner warms the cooling water when the engines is out and starts the pump. So the cabin and the engine are warm when you enter. AND: It works the other was around too. If the cabin is in the sun and would have 50+Celcius, the pump can start to bring heat to the engine cooler and the cabin temperature can be cooled down to surrounding temperatur. All this without the engine running. This is not a clima control which would need a running engine. My father in law (rally driver and car mechanic) and me put some more extras in: Useful if you need a ladder. She is studying arboristic after all, how to cut and cure trees. 250 Euro the set. We did the cutting and mechanical work ourself. Well my dad in law did, I was mainly a biological tool reaching robot. The colour will be more young by using coloured plastic films instead spraying. Will be done by our daughter after her grandpa showed how to do it. Using leftovers from the car mechanic shop of her cousin. So the car will be coulourful I fear. She plans something like: The original front light unit was replaced by a rallye-sport unit: 6 lights including fog lights. Fog lights are really useful in wet forests when the sun starts to shine. 40Euro , got from a demolished rally car on a car graveyard. Also a search/work light unit is placed on the cabin, 40 Euro from car graveyard. Being able to search for a house/address in the dark without leaving the car may be not a bad idea for a girl. Dual functions with work light for the arboristics.
  5. How is the cat? Just thought about it when watering the cat gras.
  6. I started a Shield-basher. The first 12 levels were bronze to build up some defense first and to be able to kill enemies unarmed. Used unmodified skeleton fortification as a support while in bronze. The character never used a weapon so far, I modified demonic blow for explosion, poison and life leech. The nice thing at poison modifier is: it adds poison base damage. So not having a weapon and only 3-3 damage rings was countered by higher ca-level. 8s reg-times and 2s reg per hit at level 25. Also good to know is how an unarmed/shield demonic blow is executed: a fist attack and a shield swing = 2 attacks = 2 explosions If the target is dead at the fist punch the ca autotargets new for the shield attack The attacks are really fast and the character currently finished the octopus in silver campaigne with just fist and shield. Skills used: tactics, armour, death warrior focus, shield lore, concentration, combat discipline, toughness planed: damage lore, spell resistance, combat reflexes I will take damage lore because it is the only skill that adds more damage when attacking bosses with just a shield. Combat reflexes or constitution: it will be just 1 point and I will combat reflexes a try because of reduced criticals
  7. Isn't getting headaches again from the smell of gasoline actually a good thing? Imagine that you would inhale fuel gases without knowing...
  8. We did some team play with just melee characters. Soon it was boring because of dual wielding kaldurs and x% life leech on sets. So the next time there will be a few rules: no x% life leech all damage has to be done either by weapon attacks or with reflectiing enemy attacks So the tricky question is, if there is no x% lifeleech what is the best character for high weapon damage? Has more defense put into the character because of fights now taking minutes?
  9. We bought a dog-scooter with quick release for the rope in case the dog runs to the side. Two leonsbergers with more than 100 pounds each could track the scooter with our second daughter at a nice speed. Now after she has recovered from her car crash nearly except a thick scar at the lower leg muscle. She is at bicyling again. So I found myself using the scooter more and more to train the dogs. Ever considered a scooter? They have their pros and cons, but having big dogs and to control them while running is a big pro.
  10. He was 74 when he sold it on black market and he lived for 19 more years without being lynched by unsatisfied customers, well selling was only till 1946. Woodruff has coumarin, a blood thinner, fights some cancer types and fungus disease. However it is not allowed on other side of ocean because it is toxic to rodents which were used for testing its toxitity. But rodents have a different digesting system to humans and so it is still allowed in germany. Woodruff was used as a replacement for vanilla in cigarettes in old europe. The fermenting also cracks some heavy carbon hydrogens= less tar. But I never smoked and I won't start with this mix, well 64000$ .... Perhaps one cigarette for the taste
  11. March 1945 war reached our area. Thousands of forced workers were set free and some started marauding the area because the towns they were were out of food. Diary from grandgrandma: From 8 cows only 1 survived the marauding. All pigs and half of the hens got slaughtered. Stored food, sellfmade wine and tobacco leaves got robbed. Neighbour wife got two fingers cut off when she couldn't remove rings quickly enough. The problem was that all animals were reported before the marauding and farmers had to give food away to other people based on the registered numbers of stock. So there was a big black market to exchange stuff to give the number of eggs and milk to the authorities which was demanded. This was the time when my grandgrandpa got creative and invented selfmade cigarets, shoe polish, .... People with weak stomachs should look away: walnut leaves, chopped woodruff, birch leaves, marinated iin a mix of herbs and ruined wine (not totally emptied wine bottles). After 3 days of marinating the leaves were put in linnen and placed mid in a compost of horseapples to ferment and get the normally brown tobacco colour. Somehow I fear that e-cig liquid producers use similiar mixes and that is the reason they don't report what is in. As I said it are missing laws: e-cigs are not a food, not a medical drug, not a tobacco product, not anything which law forces to be researched for its contents and the contents written on the package.
  12. I have a nicotin free tobacco replacement which would ruin the cigaret industry, robbing countries of their high tobaco taxes, change global finances and banks,... So I better not post it. It was invented by my grandgrandpa in march 1945.
  13. For unarmed with a SW I like demonic blow best: Area effect, addpoison base damage and lifeleech
  14. The problem with e-cigs are the missing laws. Cigarettes can harm others. E-cigs are not researched fully. There is no law which forces a manufacturer to print the contents and the concentration of the liquids on the box. Medium nicotin concentration and vanilla aroma just says nothing. What is medium, how much of the liquid is inhaled, how much gets into the air? Which aroma is used, does it chemical change at higher temperature.... As long a weak concentration liquid can have more nicotin than a strong one, how will you know that you actually really reduce your nicotin consume. Is it allowed at your place to smoke e-cigs at public places? Here Schools don't allow them, bus and short distance train don't allow, my wife doesn't tolerate them in our house,.. Is there a technical savety control for the mechanism? Two weaks ago newspaper wrote about an exploding ecig.
  15. E-cigs are less unhealthy than cigs. But would you allow your kids to smoke e-cigs?
  16. But to make the set working the sigls can be in any of the 4 slots. It doesnT have to be the active slot. In my acrive slot I put the most powerful sigils of any type: covering poison, fire and magic. The ca-range shield has cold already. Late game when you have to kill more and more to climb a level I had spell-reflection in all of my three. The lowest sigil set I was using had level 31. An ice mage with full ca-range icestorms is fun too, same for a celestial seraphim.
  17. Please use the correct writing of Mallorca. It may be Mallorca for catalan, dutch and german, for english it is Majorca !!!!!! However this is darkmatters and Mal(bad)-Orca (female orc) is an island in Sacred1 where you get nice sunglasses Three wheeled bicycles with a lying postion are so much saver than a normal bicycle. Given that your legs are a natural crumple zone Less likely to fall, if falling way less height, ...
  18. I think if they would become widely accepted prices could drop to the half and more sizes possible. Currently we prefer icehockey helmets for our younger kids: Plastic foam helmets are for a single hard impact. Kids don't know and don't tell if they hit the helmet while playing so it is useless for a future hard impact. Plastic foam helmets are often long, with a lot of openings which may trap and break a kids head if it gets hooked by a branch, A slide/shoot at at a sandbox,.. Kids may try to trigger the airbag helmet for fun,... I can see a use for the airbag helmet cycling in a city. Less possible accident scenarios so easier to program the trigger. My wife as a doc considered it as useful for older people forced to climb staircases while having a disease like parkinson/epilepsy. May need recoding the trigger chip. We had a bicycle helmet discussion one year ago: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/20476-bicycle-helmets/
  19. You can buy it in germany for 399euro. We discussed it in our family. The problems we couldn't solve: It is discussed that bicyle drivers should wear helmets. If it becmes a law, will we always be stopped because police doesn't recognize it as a helmet? Is there any protection if the first hit is against the head without any braking befor? Low branch scenario When will the sensors trigger? If they trigger to easily it will be dangerous, too late and they are of no use. We have 2 stepped tandems and one normal. At he stepped tandems the heads are really close together,any riscs if the bags trigger? ... http://sevenleagueboots.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/pinotta400.jpg
  20. CM-patch: Try a max CA-range build (Faladal set, sigil set, nlovae staff, ice shield = 70% more at level 140) with expulse magic and ice storms- Slowed enemies trying to run away and can't escape the big radius of an ice storm. Warning use a mod to reduce graphics and noise of the ice storms.
  21. Sauerkraut the Powerkraut !!! Did you know that milk acid bacteria ferment the Sauerkraut? These bacteria produce vitamin B12 which is too low in only vegan food. Also the bacteria in the digesting system are destroyed by the antibiotics and eating Sauerkraut is one way to put them back. Use selfmade or fresh Sauerkraut. Tastes better than yoghurt or whatever your doc said to eat to get the bacteria back into the digesting system. Probably stomach pain was because of too low on bacteria and digesting problems, or lactose intolerant and eating too much yoghurt Sauerkraut: everything what helped our ancestors to survive our mid german weather can't be bad Sauerkraut the Powerkraut !!!
  22. 32C outside in shadows, 17C at work. No air control, just 13m below surface at work today. All german digging holes at the beach.... You never noticed that all the aliens always attack the USA and never Mal-Orca? The reason is because we germans camouflage our beaches as moon craters. http://www.wir-in-laboe.de/Sandburgen.jpg-for-web-large.jpg
  23. Heatwave: Does this mean all dutch are fleeing for some fresh air or does it mean that you stay? I did my driving license decades ago in my summer breaks. The driving teacher said: you can forget all and everything, but remember: 'Schwarze Schrift auf gelbem Grund: Halte Abstand, bleib gesund !' 'Black writing on yellow ground: keep distance, stay healthy!' The reason: One with a yellow/black car sign with a trailer tried to overtake another with a yellow black car sign with a trailer who tried to overtake a truck. Autobahn got from 3 to 2 tracks because of a bridge and heavy sideways blowed the first trailer in a way that it zic-zaced using all tracks. Nearby Autobahn-bridge crossing a valley. There are electric traffic signs doing speed limits at fog and rain. Also wind indicators visible from a long distance. If the windsocks are horizontal slowing down may be wise. I really thought that there would be dutch cars without a hook for a trailer, but I was wrong. They are even on Lamborghinis.
