He is looking forward for his birthday in hopes that his parents get him a (real) digital camera. Scanning is a possibility. Having (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

| (...) Thanks all. The problem is I don't have access of a scanner- my parents are the cavemen type. Oh well, If I have to, I can spend the 16 or so dollars to digitilize pictures. Here's another animation: (URL) named tour. Its not at all good, but (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Have you tried right-clicking and downloading it to your harddrive, and opening it from there? BTW- the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

He is one of the most creative guys we've got, and yet he's got a terrible habit of getting out of touch. (...) Well, the map (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
| | | | | Re: Hello!
|
| (...) Well, I think the lack of map updates is the problem in that respect. Most people were sending characters to the IOM on a mission, but they can't continue on these missions if they can't actually go anywhere. One suggestion I made a while back (...)

| | | | | Re: Hello!

However, I see hardly any story line, and the missions sent into the IOM seem more like expeditions into the (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

I think you're missing the point of IOM. Its a tool for (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
| | | | | Re: Hello!

You could at least make something happen on the 4 squares already made. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

However, with a storyline, the idea of the story would progress much more (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

A better scenario would be a detailed description of an unusual creature, with ecological and lifestyle information. Let's say (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
