[quote]completely disagree - suicide indicates that one person commited the act... homicide indicates that a separate party was involved.[/quote]These semantics don't really matter here. If you kill yourself and someone assisted in doing so (i.e. damaged you before either Ooze or Poisoned Blood finally kills you), you should be "rewarded" with an Assist kill.
Which ports did you forward and for which protocol? Which ports did he forward and for which protocol?
Indeed, that sounds fun ;). Saturday might be fine for me, however... should we also define a time (of a certain timezone)?

[quote]There is almost NO GAME in pantheon. When u try to play, you will be the only player or you will be like 2-3-4++ players waiting but on the same side. So there will be no game[/quote]Hence the suggestion of a "Pantheon day". [quote]SD need to bring back bot[/quote]Dear god, no! [quote]or when there are 2 or more players on the same side just start a game between then.[/quote]Yes, I still think <a href="http://forums.demigodthegame.com/37378
I am all for a Pantheon day :) But why would we need different settings?

Technically it doesn't really matter if you have a "physical copy" of the game or not, it doesn't change anything. Physical media like optical discs are stupid anyway, at least nowadays. It's an inconvenient and unnecessary way of distributing software in times where you can have anything you want on demand on your computer over the internet. This is also why I don't like Blu-Rays for example. It's a technical advancement in the past rather than towards the futu

[quote]Buying games and owning physical copies of them will be a thing of the past.[/quote]You never "owned" the game, when you bought a "physical copy". You always only bought the rights to use it, but you do not own it.
[quote]you propably dont wanna hear that but: you must have done something pretty wrong that he talked to you like that.[/quote]Such behavior is never justified.
Ah, I think there is still one registry setting where the version is saved. Though it should only matter for Impulse and the game should display the right version. Hmmm..
Indeed. You can't even view most music videos on YouTube in Germany due to copyright issues. (Or you will at least soon be unable to, the GEMA wants to make an example.)
Hmmm.... ok if this whole thing, or simply the actual exploit, is a lot easier to fix by making Poisoned Blood heal allies and damage enemies then.. "you have my blessing to do it this way" :D. At least for the time being ;).
[quote]If a poisoned blood potion kills an ally, we have the address the following questisons: 1. Who gets credit? 2. Who gets gold? 3. Who gets experience? 4. Who gets a kill?[/quote]Well, either no one, or an enemy gets an Assist, if he damaged the Demigod sufficiently who died through a Poisoned Blood Potion from an ally.
[quote]# Given that the logic developed for Poisoned Blood is incomplete, the logic should be re-examined.. * Excluding Poisoned Blood, no other abilities to harm allies. * Hence any ability that can do so is probably not meant to. # Hence Poisoned Blood potions should most likely not be able to damage allies.[/quote]This is not really a strong argument though in my oppinion. It's just as possible that it is intended that Poisoned Blood also harms allies as well a
[quote]This being the case, it is unreasonable to say that dropped items are not independent of circumstances.[/quote]I didn't mean it like that. I meant, that the item, as an entity in the game, within the game's mechanic and logic, is independent. This is even mirrored in the way GPG chose to fix the Health/Mana drop-and-pick-up exploit. [quote]Regardless, these are issues that do not relate to the primary goal of the discussion, which is to find a solution to the issues at hand.[/q
[quote]Re:Spooky post #6 I believe the confusion lies within a semantic problem with LO and I. However, to my recollection death potions are available to your allies for a few seconds before they are available to your enemies.[/quote]What do you mean by LO and I? Yeah, I read about the death potion being available to allies sooner in your thread. I never noticed this, but then again, I would have to run the game on two computers at the same time to really notice it. Are you sure this
[quote]why does le blood hurt himself in the first place[/quote]Because when he respawns, his physical body is a different entitiy now, incompatible with the blood he left behind in his previous incarnation and thus poisonous to himself too ;P
[quote]UB suicide is intended as a game mechanic as it is implemented as such in the game.[/quote]Ptarth just confirmed, that it is not intended as a game mechanic ;). But I still agree with you on the Poison Blood. Only the self-kill award has to be fixed, nothing else (although with proper Assist kills from Demigods that might have hurt the Demigod that died from a Poison Blood).
[quote]On the bright side this clears up any debate about the issue, it is obviously a bug.[/quote]Indeed :).
It is pure luck. Your chance simply depends on the enemy rate of fire. I mean easy as in "you don't actually have anything to do for it" (compared to drinking poisoned blood or walking into enemy towers).
Btw. I don't understand your reasoning behind this:[quote]re: Poisoned Blood 1. Drink a potion is not a direct effect on a team mate from another. 1. I disagree. If your teammate drops a health potion for you, you gain life. 2. Likewise if your teammate dies and drops a health potion for you, you gain life. 3. I fail to see how this is not a direct effect on your teammates.[/quote]A dropped item is an independent entity, which does not care by whom it gets picked
[quote]For Lord Erebus * Poisoned Blood potions when consumed by Lord Erebus can kill himself resulting in the message, "Ptarth killed Ptarth." * Kills made in such a fashion reward the Lord Erebus with gold. * This results in Lord Erebus being able to farm himself. Is this intended, if not what would the appropriate fix be?[/quote]In my oppinion, the Poisoned Blood potion intentionally gives damage to yourself and your allies and this shoul
[quote]Can I install/run demigod off of only a flash drive? (i.e. no registry values and preferably no /user/document/demigod/rules.ini or whatever). Best way to do this? Copy game files? Install from cd to usb location? Use Impulse? (havent looked at impulse a lot, old computer could barely handle the game so i killed all non-essential processes). I own and have owned a legal copy so that's not an issue, but I had 2 versions at one point (we all know launch GR had more stable connectivity
