WTF?

[queex]

I followed up on a guidance message for 'What am I doing here?' and found the following:



Whatever it is, it doesn't show up in 'ahead', 'here', or in the recruit box when you enter the same square.

Anyone else seen this?

[ladyhawke]

I've seen that thing also. I couldn't recruit him/it

It's the blue werewolf from Knightlore... ;D it bites your head off if your shoe size is an odd number of if your hair is black... ;D

Lovely... I have an odd shoe size AND my hair is quite black

Watch out for him in the next release. If I have time, he will be the first of Ringthane's "xenomorphs", with a special ability.

In the meantime, you can't do anything with him, he's just there as a little "easter egg", to remind me of the wonderful spectrum game that Fernando refers to

[Ringthane]

Can we have Maul the Weapons Droid too?

[Ringthane]

I'm joking on this one, alright? ;D

[daiabolical]

Aha, is that a reference to shadowfire? Another excellent, excellent Beyond game. Geek heaven.

Superb, yes Normally I split the party in two groups: Maul, Manto and Zark to go all the way to the green Armory and secure the lower end of the ship; and Silk with Sevrina and Torik up main catwalk to get some cards and passes. Then I'd try to meet at separate ends of the red core area and wait for the heavyweight posse to come around, hoping that the white captain wouldn't join before I took out at least three of them. Zoff was easy, just let Manto outside with a 'porter pod and zap him into the shuttle. Sometimes I'd use the pods to move in between inside locations, but that was risky because it meant that Manto would be weaponless and believe me, minus one gun wasn't something you wanted to have in that game...

[Ringthane]

By the way the characters in the game manual were drawn based on Mike Kaluta's Alien Legion (Torik looks exactly like Torqa Dun and Silk like Jugger Grimrod).

[Ringthane]

Might have been the other way around, come to think of it.
