Triad symbols?

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 02:06:55

I have been playing Hexen quite a lot recently and I noticed something. There are four flashy symbols in the game, the ones that act as switches in Menelkir's tomb, and appear throughout the game. One symbol is the serpent riders' triad symbol, that looks like an upside-down trident. Then, there are other three symbol, one that looks like an oversized arrow, one that looks like an N, and the other that looks like... well, very flashy. I was thinking that these symbols probably belong to D'Sparil, Korax and Eidolon, but I don't know which one to which one. What do you think?

Uh, no, because one of the symbols is THE serpent riders' triad symbol.

Maybe the triad is the serpent riders and the others are for the three orders of cronos? (warrior, mage, cleric) But the most likely explanation is that they're but random symbols that don't mean anything, though dissapointing it is. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Pok?mon has a big market ranging from cartoons, through videogames, to RPG-style trading game cards. It is also strange, here in Argentina (or at least in the CABA) people pronnounce pok?mon either as "p?kemon" or "pokem?n", but never correctly. It is also strange to think how would a magikarp tackle somebody.

Those games are more oriented to younger players, I think they are too easy and short, never played them tought.

Here in NA it's most often pronounced PO-kee-mon, or PO-kee-man less commonly. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

i've seen most local not-big-chain storeowners in New England pronounce it "pokeymans". They also pronounce Star Wars as "Star Fours" and frogger as "Frow ger" not joking either, and they're not foreigners either, just american

For whoever said the pokeyman games were aimed @ younger audiences... Have you heard of IVs and Natures and EVs and Movesets? The game structure keeps getting more and more complicated with each installment! 7 year olds can't compete with us near-adulthood players who know how to make a good team, and actually put in the time and effort it takes to accomplish this.

Billyboy I don't hate you, I just used to make fun of you because frankly you are the most stupid person who ever posted on these forums, and it used to entertain a lot of people here. However, there are rules and when I say no spamming and then you put the spamlink into your signature instead, that shows you can't or don't want to understand the already serious spam problem we're dealing with on this forum. I've removed your signature and as a warning from now on you are not entitled to a signature. Should you disregard this rule, you'll be banned and your account deleted. This might sound harsh, but the fact is, we have to invest ever more time into keeping this forums working despite the spammer assholes who have tried to flood it with their abysmal shit. You posting spamlinks doesn't help this situation any. Have you ever stopped thinking about what's in it for the people who run that site you linked to without thinking? I guess you don't even know what an HTTP referrer is and that such a site knows from where the clicks came from and such places will become target for even more spammers in the future.

And in Billy's defense, I don't at all think he's stupid, just that he has an immature side of him that seems to annoy only RambOrc. In fact, I often enjoy his less flamboyant posts, like the one on Cronos - that was a good one with an unconventional sense of humour. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Or maybe I'm only saying this because I feel like Rambo's sliced the butter with a chainsaw.

Well, I just found it curious. Also, keep in mind that the original source is probably en katana japanese chars, so it's not a good idea. Besides, pok?mon is obviously an invented name to commercialize it outside it's origin.

[quote="The 4th Class":88kwl6j8]Now I feel like a spammer in the Phenomenal thread. No reason for that, it's not about linking to websites, it's about linking to websites that most probably exist to grab info for spamming. As for this whole spam thing, you don't see it because I spend quite some time with deleting spam posts here before any of you even sees them, removing accounts and the like. I'm an IT professional and as such I'm handling this type of thing proactively, because reactive handling (i.e. doing something only when the shit has already hit the fan) would mean we would have to give up these forums in their current form. Also, my real beef with billyboy this time was not that he was stupid enough to post spam, but his mulishness to post it again as his sig after I removed his post and told him it's spam and he shouldn't post it. I don't care what people post here because it's free speech, but when it gets into the tech side of things and becoming destructive, then a warning should really be sufficient what not to do. Professional forums do have much stricter antispam rules than we'll ever have and still nobody talks about abusing power. Abuse would be to delete someone's post because I don't like them or what they wrote - which I don't and won't do.

Besides IMO we all need to have certain common sense to know what to post and where to post certain things, since there will be people who aren't interested in certain stupid things. EDIT: I think paganraven still needs to learn that. EDIT2: As for what he said about ganging up to him, I think he would be used to it already <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> (j/k).
