Platinum Edition ADOMer
http://gamesofgrey.com - check out my roguelikes!
AD&D, in the forgotten realms. One short game took about 2 days to complete. Was fun I guess.
To this day I have not once scummed in ADOM.
Probably why I dont have a win.
They also say, with america ceasing all analog TV signals and switching over to Digital the US government plans to use that frequency that has been freed up. They say they will use that frequency to project a hologram in the sky of the second comming of Jesus, which will trigger a nuclear war, which will disarm the world of its weapons to make way for an alien invasion since we wont be able to fight back.
Seriously, there really ARE people that think that!

Of course that would depend on how long per day you play.
I intended this ADOM-Forum-RPG to take place... maybe over a couple of months or years, with changing players/DM's.
Stupid. Although both light and radiowaves are electromagnetic waves, theres a big difference in the wavelengths. One can't "project a hologram in the sky" by means of those radio waves. (And it would be hard if not impossible to do even with visible light)
And if one could, there would be no reason to do the analog -> digital switch. Just shut down the analog TV signals with no prior warning. Would probably also have a better effect.
The part about "Jesus triggering a nuclear war" I don't understand too, if the US wanted a nuclear war, they could just do it - they have the stuff (I bet). And their old friend russia would surely want to join the fun, so no problems even without jesus
Disarm the world of its weapons? No, no, not the US government. Not a chance. Not that it wouldnt be nice
Also, an alien invasion would probably start by nuking the earth *from orbit* - I bet they too heard that it's the only way to be sure. Not some stupid war on the ground.
Side note: Just the act of coming here is already a demonstration of massively superior technology - I really doubt we'd have a chance against such a race, and I don't think it would be wise to try.
No, for most things there is *someone* who believes it, but sorry, I don't think *anyone* believes *this*. Except you, of course
And the analog->digital switch is probably mainly to get more money out of the consumers (all this DRM crap, for example)...
Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

> alien invasion would probably start by nuking the earth *from orbit*
I doubt it. Those nukes are sooo messy. Just think about the
cleanup afterward, and the best infrastructure would be
completely destroyed. Personally, I would go with a good old
fashioned plague. Come to think of it, by that logic, I'd say the
aliens have already tried to get rid of us several times. We're
like cockroaches though, we can adapt to anything with enough
time, and just grow stronger because of it. The bio-engineered
plagues with which they have afflicted us have only built up our
immune systems to the point that we will soon be to earth
creatures what antibiotic resistant strains of staph are to normal
germs. The aliens prolly figure nukes wouldn't have a chance of
actually killing us off, but instead would just build up our
immunity to radiation. Soon we will have aqcuired the -plag and
-rad resistances, and become a race of super warriors that will
rule the entire cosmos because of those nuts, but until then we'll
just play ADOM : )

...which was really made not by TB but by the aliens (TB only thinks he made it), and they gave it to us to distract us from their invasion. : )
Alternative version: TB is really an alien...

I am sure that the aliens created tetris for the
same purpose.

They (I mean our govs) mess up with digital TV over here too.. Gee why do they do this? In province we still have just 2 channels, both of them goverment ones.. people are gnarling looking at fat rich moscow life. (I prefered not to gnarl but to move here, yay it`s nice here (-:! )
What about alien invasion I think it strongly depend of their traditions, way of life and just wisdom.
Some of them would prefer to crush us in honest massacre, some of them to bomb us away. Some of them are probably are living inside us and we are already their slaves. )) I remember classes of anathomy, the cell structure.. There are some small simbionts inside our cells they are working like power plants. I think they are called Mithohondryes (if I recall right). ))
> In province we still have just 2 channels,
In my house I have exactly no channels, and wouldn't
have it any other way.
> people are gnarling looking at fat rich moscow life.
In my opinion, being fat and rich is worse than being
middle weight and middle class.
> alien invasion I think it strongly depend of their traditions
Agreed. I would rather be conquered by the 'Predator'
aliens than the 'Alien' aliens any day of the week.
They'd give me an honorable death, even if they did
hang my head on a pike afterward.
> them are probably are living inside us and we are already their slaves
Well, I must be free of that then. There couldn't possibly
be an alien as lazy as me.
