It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Come on guys, he's a newbie... I'd rather he post it here and someone NICELY bring to his attention that this should have been put into the User Created Poll or the BG2 forums. It would have been much better than having two experienced poster bring him down and make him leave the forum thinking that we ain't that friendly afterall.

C'mon mate, we're horsing around. You try and make sense of what he's asking. I haven't a clue, so it's a funnier way to mention so than saying.

OK, I could be wrong but I think he's looking to poll for the best BG2 walktrough site... which for us is probably going to be IW http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Welcome to Ironworks Poll master. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/xyxwave.gif

Pay no attention to some of the sarcastic remarks from some people here. You are very welcome.

I'm always pleased to meet popular people here. Can I be your friend? I don't have many friends.

C'mon, guys, don't be nasty...give him a break. Maybe he didn't introduce himself in the most tactful method possible, but, heh...I've seen some intros here that were far worse. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/338.gif (no names!)

Poll Master, you are welcome here. As Cloudy said, this would probably be better in the polls section, but we certainly have a lot of polls crop up here at GD.

Just for clarification, were you speaking of two specific walkthroughs or just any two "best" walkthroughs on the 'Net? Most of us are going to be partial to the IW walkthrough, but I use another one which I don't have bookmarked on this computer...I'll have to look that one up later on. It's very comprehensive, whereas the IW one only lists main-line quests.

Anyway, welcome, and don't let those buzzards give you a hard time. They're just ribbing you, you know. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Gabe, with all respect, what are you doing? Criticising the tone, mood and intent of some posts. How is that different to what we did? He is not dyslexic bro. It is not just an issue of spelling. Thus it is not an extended criticism of you. You are a legend, as I have said repeatedly. I have much respect for you that you haven't let dyslexia prevent you from the many meaningful and valued contributions you have made to this "virtual villiage".

My humor was at the expense of another. Forgive me. Certain elements of my Australian upbringing are hard to supress when such red rags are waved before me. I laughed at my own post. (Yes I crack myself up...) At least I entertained myself. I am sorry if I offended you in the process Gabriel.

LOL, Yorick...being here at IW has definitely given me a crash course in Aussie humor! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif I must admit that it took me a bit to get used to it, but I fully appreciate it now!

Of course! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Good actions are a fine line that one can slip off at any time. I never suggested I was perfect, nor an angel. None of us are. Failure is a part of learning, and we humans are imperfect in design. Without my slip up, I wouldn't have had the chance to tell Gabriel the positive esteem I hold him in. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif So to that end, a mistake can contain some positivity. (Assuming he reads it and feels good about it)

Ah yes the Sheilas! Any Sydney beach or beach suburb Larry. Bondi in particular is a magnet for femmes of much allure.

You should head out there man! You'd enjoy it for sure. Great value for your dollar, laid back lifestyle, friendly atmosphere, beaches full of eyecandy http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif good food, wine and music and stunning vistas.

Yorrick, sorry for not getting around to you for sooner but I'm sick at a dog at the moment. Okay I was not criticising the posts just the fact you (and by this I mean all who flamed) flamed the poor guy in his first post, while I believe 'friendy fire' can be fun it not something I expect to see the members of IronWorks doing to a new member, as said new member might not of seen it as being a joke. Also I didn't take the spelling 'cracks' personal as I know I have problems but as was stated in the many 'hello newbies' thread that have been spawned, 'we are a friendly place, that won't bite.' As phyical contact is impossible on the internet, I pressume that this means 'we won't flame you' yet as the begining of this thread the member was flammed for his spelling, which was refered to as Idiotese, thus not only implying that his spelling was bad but that the postie was an idiot, which is a blantent flame. While I am happy to see that you have made an appolige, I am shocked to see that that the other flamers have made no such move.

Ps Stop calling me a legend as I have done nothing to entitle such a title.

Yorrick, sorry for not getting around to you for sooner but I'm sick at a dog at the moment. Okay I was not criticising the posts just the fact you (and by this I mean all who flamed) flamed the poor guy in his first post, while I believe 'friendy fire' can be fun it not something I expect to see the members of IronWorks doing to a new member, as said new member might not of seen it as being a joke. Also I didn't take the spelling 'cracks' personal as I know I have problems but as was stated in the many 'hello newbies' thread that have been spawned, 'we are a friendly place, that won't bite.' As phyical contact is impossible on the internet, I pressume that this means 'we won't flame you' yet as the begining of this thread the member was flammed for his spelling, which was refered to as Idiotese, thus not only implying that his spelling was bad but that the postie was an idiot, which is a blantent flame. While I am happy to see that you have made an appolige, I am shocked to see that that the other flamers have made no such move.

Ps Stop calling me a legend as I have done nothing to entitle such a title.


No worries. I hope you feel better mate. As I said it wasn't a matter of spelling, but of the blatant disregard for sentances and language flow, drug usage inference and declaration of popularity. The post is hard to understand. I read it more like he didn't care rather than him being stupid, which is why I wasn't to worried about calling the post idiotese. It's like saying "stop being an idiot". These imply that the person has a choice in the matter. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

What I find even funnier though, is that he came in, made a poll that no-one responded to, replied with sarcasm and a drug reference and then left. Subsequently we have two pages of response, a debate of sorts and the "poll" moving over here. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif I think it's hilarious!

Anyhow Gabe, re. the "legend", it's a way of saying "top bloke" in Australian. Actually I think it's surfer subculture-speak, and not confined to Aussie surfers either. Regardless it's a compliment. If you have problems with someone thinking you're "alright", a good guy, and someone worth knowing; I'd suggest you get over it. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../1orglaugh.gif
