Ask Arkanis

[DM Arkanis]

Just had a call from one of the women I am seeing (yes, you read right... move on move on) and she said that she has won $280 in bingo and is wondering how to spend it. I said that I would ask all you fine people out there what your thoughts are. Looking for some of you who read but don't post to chime in here - yes, I know you do! No wrong answers.

q.v. "give it to charity" is not a good answer unless you can back it up with which charity and why. Creativity bonuses given to those who actually put some thought into their reply. Please keep it PG 13!

Why is it the following topics:

Grey orcs
Expose Weakness
Paladins
Elves
Favoured Souls
Druids
Gold [and inflation]
Alignment
Not enough Cha/Wis to RP something
Ability scores in general
Lore
Guilds

always end up in a heated arguement of personal attacks?

Open up a TFSA and then invest it into INA.V

Its a small canadian oil company, with a market cap of around 200M.
they will probably hit 3-4$ before being bought out in about 2-3 years, and will probably reach 1$ by the end of '14, meaning worth investing heavily into this.

Pay attention to these boards, for more info.

Now, when you're reading the bulletin board on IVillage, keep track of the following posters: Oiljack, Resilience, Crucible401, Jwallisca

in particular, while watching for tips and tricks pay attention to these few guys and what they have to say, if you want to make alot of money form that 260$, at least enough to retire on, 30 years from now.


most small companies start out being explorers, and it's a giant step to becoming a producer. INA became a producer this year and is producing around 7500 barrels of oil per day.

This is light oil that sells for around $111 per barrel right now.

So, Ina is getting around $25 million per month. That is a lot of money for a little company. That is why this company has such a potential to grow and eventually will probably be taken over by a major. If you have any money in your piggy bank, this is the company to buy. I believe this company will triple within the next 2 yrs. and then it will be bought out for $3-4.00 a share. Just a matter of being patient. If a person does not have too many shares, it's better to just accumulate slowly and sit on those shares. Then reap the rewards in a couple of years. I've been doing some trading with INA as I have plenty of shares, but I do not touch my core position.

here is a name of another poster but on another BBoard ie. Stockhouse.com. This used to be a great site but a lot of us moved to IVillage because the quality of the posts was really deteriorating and the moderators did nothing about it. Anyway, this guy Molymoney is worth reading. Here are his posts, read his Sept./ Oct. posts to get an idea.

anyways, hope this allows you to turn that 2-300$ into 10,000 like I did. - James.

p.s. come back here years later, and we can say what to do with the 10,000$ when you have it too.

Because my friend there are a lot of us who love this game and everyone has their own take on what is "right." That ability to take a step back and rationally look at a discussion that we feel is threatening is sometimes compromised by our own investment (in time, etc) into our characters that we feel that we have played to the best of our abilities and done so according to all of the rules. When we are challenged on something we have so heavily emotionally invested ourselves in it is natural to be defensive, and to strike back out on a personal level against those who have challenged us. We attack when we do not feel validated or supported in our opinions and views, and I will tell you it is natural to do this. To spin this in a positive light, if we did not care about our characters, and their backgrounds, builds, guilds, or friends on this server, we would not be so passionate when caught by an opposing opinion, however basely expressed. I think that we continually need to talk about the "wherefore and the why" of the rules and be big enough to accept when we do not get our way, and be gracious enough when right to allow others the same respect. Hard, I agree. It is far easier to make an enemy, than it is to make a friend.

From DM Mouse

Thank you my friend - what a great answer!


www.childsplaycharity.org

I'd recommend a donation to the Child's Play Charity, where gamers and companies in the industry get together to bring the gift of gaming to children stuck in hospitals. We all know the joys of this kind of entertainment but there are some children who do not - and with weeks, if not months, or years of time on their hands stuck indoors without children or playgrounds to play in, Child's Play makes an effort to put games in the hands of those needy children.

This article from Examiner.com helps to show the good work they're doing:

Game On wrote:
Spending time in a hospital can be an unnerving situation for anyone whether it be as an out-patient coming in for therapy or as an in-patient who faces long periods in hospital rooms or in intensive care. This is especially true for children. That is why Child's Play Charity formed in 2003 to donate video games, books, movies, and board games not only in North America but overseas as well in countries like Australia and Great Britain. This community of gamers organized by the web comic gurus from Penny Arcade has donated more than $5 million in games, toys, books, and cash from across the world.

your welcome, if anyone reading this decides to look into oil for thier portfolio, don't become one of those cocky guys trying to day trade. statistically, 95% of day traders lose money.. sit on it, follow your leads, and know your mark, also diversify, and don't throw all the eggs in one basket incase you trip or fall, riight.

A question to AB and EB on range weapons. Afaik only AB is relevant. EB doesnt give +x on damage like on a melee weapon. So only mighty transfers the extra strength bonus.

Is that right?

Sounds about right to me although I will be the first one to admit that I am not a pro on game semantics when it comes to this kind of thing. Anyone qant to chime in here?

[Hoihe]

EB adds damage. That's how AA can get their awesome damage.

They use a +4 EB bow, then add the enchantment from their AA ability, and end up getting +9 EB.

And from experience, I noticed that using a low EB bow on Calinde gave me way less damage when I used Manyshot.

[Bobthehero]

So if you a +1 EB sword with a +3 Attack bonus, do you end up with +4 to hit or +3?

Hi Arkanis

What do you think of Elves of Faerûn? I recently got my (virtual) hands on it, but I'm not sure how canon it is, or how much of it I can use before I slip into fanon.

Also, the timeline here at the boards says 1349, but the in game clock says 1351. Which one goes?

[DM Arkanis]

Elves of Faerûn is a great source book - don't hestitate to incorporate some of the things in there to your RP on the server: there is a great names, and language sections at the back as well as an elven-centred chonology of time that is a lot more detailed with respect to what happens to the elves than any other one I've seen. From what I have read there is a lot of good, general knowledge in there that should not have an impact to BG in terms of our server lore but DM Xzar might want to have the final say on that.

As far as I know we are still currently in DR 1349 even though the clock says DR 1351. I believe that there are some updates to this coming
