Plenty of 'trolls' - this is Fighting Fantasy, after all! But no, it isn't me this time. I'd soon own up (and Andy would tell you if it was me anyway). I only did the Duke of Wellington thing as a joke - although I'm wondering what he would actually say (not sure if I got his dialogue right, but never mind) if a gamebook landed on his war desk. Or Leonardo Da Vinci. Or...well, you get the idea. These sort of things do excite me!

I wonder if we could turn this into an interesting role-play...

If this troll co-operates, of course. It'd be a nice excuse to actually post things on the board :-D

I'll have gone through a year of college by then! I guess you can't rush art...

It's taking me ages (maybe years) but I'll finish part II soon.

Oh, hi, I've been trolling everyone for quite some time. Sorry about not saying so sooner - I don't log on to this site that frequently.

I was responsible for the "Doctor" posts, as well as that "Stephanie" post. The idea is that I find it amusing when somebody else starts trolling, I troll along, and that somebody else takes the blame. I'm the amplifier troll. :-)

I guess I could be a potential victim, now that everyone knows my pattern. The next time someone does this, please make a mental note that it might not be me.

It was a pretty crappy troll, no offense :-P

The Duke of Wellington was the epitome of trolling!

Yeah, something to be said about Leonardo Da Vinci reading a gamebook. He'd understand it in a heartbeat - the man had a head for puzzles and deciphering, along with a great imagination! He'd prob enjoy the story side too. If he wrote a gamebook, wonder what it would be like...

He's a brilliant character in Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood - gives Ezio the chance to try out innovative toys! One of the best comp games of all time.

Dear all, since we all love gamebooks, you probably heard of fabled lands already.

I am planning of adding several expansions to the original books. And as proof of concept there is one done already.

The whole 6 books along with the expansion are free to play and dowload at the yahoo fabled lands group or fabledlandsunlimited.blogspot.pt

I leave a challenge to the great authors of so many amateur adventures to make their own expansions which i will then port to electronic format.

Thank you for your help.

@Davide

I might check them out another day. Barely any time to do it now, with an exam that will dictate my salary in the future coming up real soon.

In related news, my graduation mass was just the day before yesterday! Starting to hit me that I'll never see 90% of these people again.... Although there were many, MANY people I didn't get along with, there was just enough people that I did to make me miss the place.

Hilariously, our year was given our holidays 2 days early because of a prank involving a goat in the Astroturf pitch. The goat was neutralised with no casualties on either side.

Good luck with the exam, real-life is always first :)

@C-Star

Have a nice exam!

Also, it's good to know you miss the people significantly more than your desk.

@bcyy

What? I really don't understand what you mean by that last sentence.

P.S. Looking back, those trolls with The Doctor were pretty entertaining. I don't watch Doctor Who but I have a friend that loves the show, and from what I know that sounded like what The Doctor would actually say.

@C-Star, Re last sentence

When I graduated, I felt that I would miss my desk much more than an overwhelming majority of the people. Between the humiliating basketball games, getting laughed at for failed chemistry exams, the trouble deliberately stirred at my chess club so that it could be nicknamed "the gambler's den", and ultimately voting to shut it down, I turned very bitter and never even bothered to leave anyone my number.

It didn't exactly turn out that way, though. I do miss my desk immensely, but I miss the people pretty badly too, now that I'm probably not going to see any of them again.

Ah, that I understand :-(

I still remember talking to my aunt the summer before First Year. We were talking about bullying. She told me it would get better in secondary school.
My reply: Yeah, I hope so.
What I actually thought: Are you trolling me, woman!

Needless to say, she was wrong. I'm sure she meant well, she just didn't want me walking in there with a 'This will be the day that I die' attitude on my first day. I survived 14 years of school but... I don't think it was a case of 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.

Anyway, I don't want to depress these boards. I can safely say I can't wait for summer. I got me a load of Final Fantasy superbosses to kill! Namely Yiazmat and Omega Mk12 from FF12. (In between helping my stepdad on the farm)

Well that's English Paper 1 done. Went grand, but then again that was the easy part. The real stuff is still to come.

Erm, Elen, with all due respect, this is a site for nerds. Nerds typically have had a better education than the general public, are very proficient in the sciences, and are very unlikely to fall for a "sacrificial altar" scam. Please do not take our immersion in fantasy worlds as an indication of proclivity to believe in the supernatural.

Unless you are just trolling, in which case you may proceed as you please.

Just in case you are serious, I would like to point out that the assumption that this Dr Imomoh had anything to do with your ex's decisions is completely post hoc ergo propter hoc. It is impossible that sacrifices of physical objects of any kind could have had the desired effect, unless the sacrifices in question consist of a scalpel, an operation theatre, and your drugged husband, and this Dr Imomoh happens to be an alien neurological surgeon with access to technology far more advanced than anything on earth.

Ok, it's either a member of the board trolling again, or a spambot. I'd suggest that an update to the spam filter might be in order.
