[2008-09-20 20:01:22] <@Maddyanne> There was some astonishment in there. We wanted to win desperately, but it seemed unlikely.

[2008-09-20 20:03:10] <@AME_Starlight> cheer up, Andarian
[2008-09-20 20:03:15] <@AME_Tybae> What made you ultimately decide to do the next installment of Sanctum of the Archmage in NWN1?
[2008-09-20 20:03:55] <@Andarian> Well, I actually blogged about that a couple of months ago -- I'll post a link after...
[2008-09-20 20:04:28] <@Andarian> There were several reasons. First was time: switching to NWN2 would have really delayed getting out the next few chapters more than I wanted...
[2008-09-20 20:04:32] <@AME_Tybae> Just in case some of us don't read.  *looks disparingly at Skunkeen*
[2008-09-20 20:05:02] <@Andarian> I also became very excited about plans that I'd heard for trying to improve NWN1, and the new content coming out with and enabled by patch 1.69
[2008-09-20 20:05:16] * @Skunkeen shakes his head
[2008-09-20 20:05:47] <@AME_Tybae> Follow up.....  How's the rideable Pegasi coming?

[2008-09-20 20:06:01] <@AME_Tybae> Didn't mean to hit enter so soon....
[2008-09-20 20:06:35] <@Andarian> Ty: take a look here for the Ridable Pegasi status: http://sanctum.andarian.net/index.php?p=58
[2008-09-20 20:07:02] <@Andarian> And here for a screenshot: http://sanctum.andarian.net/index.php?p=57
[2008-09-20 20:07:26] <@Andarian> This kind of thing is part of what pushed me over into the decision to stay in NWN1 for now
[2008-09-20 20:08:15] <@AME_Tybae> Because it's an integral part of the story, right?
[2008-09-20 20:08:31] <@AME_sirchet> *wants to ask a question*
[2008-09-20 20:08:39] <@Andarian> Here's another example of the kind of stuff that's helping to keep me here: a preview of Ninjaweasel's upcoming "Romantic Animations Suite": http://sanctum.andarian.net/index.php?p=59
[2008-09-20 20:08:47] * @AME_Tybae puts Sirchet back in his place
[2008-09-20 20:08:50] <@Ninjaweasel>
[2008-09-20 20:08:57] * @Inayity claps loudly for Ninjaweasel's work!
[2008-09-20 20:09:02] <@AME_sirchet> *nods submissively*
[2008-09-20 20:09:08] <@AME_Tybae> Speaking of which...............
[2008-09-20 20:09:09] <@AME_Tybae> ****************Question****************** for the Ninjaweasel
[2008-09-20 20:09:42] <@Ninjaweasel> ^.^
[2008-09-20 20:09:44] <@AME_Tybae> Do you find yourself in embarassing positions because of your hak?  (Pun very intended)
[2008-09-20 20:09:56] <@Ninjaweasel> strangely enough, no
[2008-09-20 20:09:59] <@Ninjaweasel> however
[2008-09-20 20:10:03] <@Ninjaweasel> i have had.... requests
[2008-09-20 20:10:11] <@AME_Tybae> lo
[2008-09-20 20:10:12] <@AME_Estelindis> o.O
[2008-09-20 20:10:14] <@Ninjaweasel> for more of the same, and variations thereof
[2008-09-20 20:10:21] * @Mask snickers
[2008-09-20 20:10:46] <@AME_Tybae> How's Romantic Animations Suite coming along?
[2008-09-20 20:10:55] <@Ninjaweasel> the romantic anims suite in development right now (and nearing completion) is probably the most requested set[2008-09-20 20:11:00] <@Ninjaweasel> it's in closed beta
[2008-09-20 20:11:09] <@Ninjaweasel> a number of people have received the hak
[2008-09-20 20:11:30] <@Ninjaweasel> shouldn't be too long now
[2008-09-20 20:11:36] <@AME_Estelindis>
[2008-09-20 20:11:39] * @Andarian nods
[2008-09-20 20:11:46] <@Andarian> I'm integrating the beta into Sanctum 2 right now
[2008-09-20 20:11:47] <@AME_Tybae> What inspired you to create animations for NWN1?
[2008-09-20 20:12:04] <@Ninjaweasel> ACP
[2008-09-20 20:12:14] * @AME_Tybae thanks the gods that he's not the only one with the toolset open
[2008-09-20 20:12:21] <@AME_sirchet> ACP?
[2008-09-20 20:12:31] <@Mask> Awesome Combat Postures.
[2008-09-20 20:12:32] <@AME_Qk> Alternate COmbat animations by ragnarok
[2008-09-20 20:12:34] <@Ninjaweasel> ragnarok_mr4's alternate combat animations
[2008-09-20 20:12:38] <@AME_sirchet> *ducks as tybae swings*
[2008-09-20 20:12:46] <@Axe> Did you do any motion capture to make that?
[2008-09-20 20:12:53] <@Ninjaweasel> no
[2008-09-20 20:12:55] <@AME_Tybae> Animate Chets are Puds
[2008-09-20 20:13:06] <@AME_Qk> do u use CAT?
[2008-09-20 20:13:10] <@AME_Estelindis> The incredibly awesome alternate combat animations by Ragnarok - which, incidentally, has boatloads of new content in the most recent version!
[2008-09-20 20:13:17] <@AME_sirchet> *cocks Desert Eagle*
[2008-09-20 20:13:19] <@Ninjaweasel> that's all animated using a mix of traditional keyframe animation and some fancy controller action
[2008-09-20 20:13:33] * @AME_Tybae is immune to bullets.  He is made of Jell-O
[2008-09-20 20:13:34] <@AME_Qk> awesome NW
[2008-09-20 20:13:40] <@AME_Starlight> Alien combat Predator
[2008-09-20 20:13:42] <@Ninjaweasel> I can and do use CAT at teh studio
[2008-09-20 20:13:48] <@AME_sirchet> LOL
[2008-09-20 20:13:52] <@Ninjaweasel> but i don't use it for NWN1
[2008-09-20 20:13:57] <@Andarian> The override version won the GDA for Best Custom Content last year
[2008-09-20 20:14:43] <@AME_Tybae> ******************Question****************  For the Citadel team.
[2008-09-20 20:15:04] <@AME_Tybae> How's the Evil path of Citadel coming and is there a release date?
[2008-09-20 20:15:11] <@Maddyanne> Hoping for Halloween, or thereabouts. We did a mess of work on it.  Then Jim and I both had to take a break and get a bit of perspective. Plus recreation--- gaming on the Harvest Moon PW in my case and Facebooking in his. But we met this past week about it and are getting back to seriously working on the evil path on Monday. Jeff's got some lovely new evil path music started.
[2008-09-20 20:15:19] * @Mask 's ears perk up.
[2008-09-20 20:15:36] <@Maddyanne> It sounds really great.
[2008-09-20 20:15:39] <@Ninjaweasel> ooh
[2008-09-20 20:15:52] <@AME_sirchet> gonna have to start over
[2008-09-20 20:16:02] * @AME_Tybae is giddy with anticipation for the Evil Path
[2008-09-20 20:16:06] <@Maddyanne> And I've been having lots of fun making pretty and icky places
[2008-09-20 20:16:17] <@Ninjaweasel> btw, i have an announcement to make at the end of the chat
[2008-09-20 20:16:44] <@AME_sirchet> your really a nijaferret?
[2008-09-20 20:16:54] <@AME_Tybae> There will be time for shameless plugging
[2008-09-20 20:17:16] <@Maddyanne> We're trying to make it as if it's a new game. So you can play good/neutral and have a very different experience playing evil.
[2008-09-20 20:17:30] <@AME_Tybae> Can you give a little preview?
[2008-09-20 20:17:35] <@Maddyanne> And then have
[2008-09-20 20:17:40] <@AME_Tybae> That was directed at Maddy and Jeff
[2008-09-20 20:17:47] * @Hugie is back
[2008-09-20 20:17:53] * @AME_Tybae curses his small keyboard
[2008-09-20 20:18:31] <@Maddyanne> You get sent to the village occupied by the invading armies rather than the city and have to find your place there.
[2008-09-20 20:18:46] <@Maddyanne> Eventually you infiltrate the city.
[2008-09-20 20:18:59] <@Andarian> That IS very different
[2008-09-20 20:19:09] <@AME_sirchet> no spoilers please
[2008-09-20 20:19:09] * @Mask loves the idea
[2008-09-20 20:19:13] <@Maddyanne> Very very carefully, since there are places you'll be killed on sight
[2008-09-20 20:19:35] <@Maddyanne> And that's allwithout getting spoiler-y
[2008-09-20 20:20:17] <@AME_Estelindis> This sounds very interesting!

["Safety 3rd"]

[2008-09-20 20:20:30] <@AME_Tybae> **************Question*******************  For Axe
[2008-09-20 20:20:51] <@Axe> ok careful I brought my blade with me
[2008-09-20 20:21:07] * @Ashercon snickers
[2008-09-20 20:21:12] <@AME_Tybae> So we've heard that you're working on a module.  Can you give us a little enlightment about that?
[2008-09-20 20:21:25] <@AME_Starlight> Doesn't Axe have blades?
[2008-09-20 20:21:42] <@Axe> Well it isn't very far along at all
[2008-09-20 20:22:11] <@Axe> still hashing out the story line. Just have a basic story and I'm still filling it in
[2008-09-20 20:22:38] <@Axe> I started on some of the scripting systems is about all I've done so far
[2008-09-20 20:22:49] <@AME_Starlight> what will be the setting for the story?
[2008-09-20 20:22:58] <@AME_Tybae> Has there been anyone asking you to murder any more scripts since you won the GDA award?  Are you planning on murdering any scripts in the near future?
[2008-09-20 20:23:00] <@Axe> Just a made up place
[2008-09-20 20:23:18] <@Mask> "Custom setting" 
[2008-09-20 20:23:21] * @Maddyanne likes made up places
[2008-09-20 20:23:22] * @AME_Tybae has carnage on the mind
[2008-09-20 20:23:23] * @Mask nudges Axe
[2008-09-20 20:23:23] <@Axe> yeah very custom
[2008-09-20 20:23:38] <@AME_Starlight> An area full of axes?
[2008-09-20 20:23:40] <@Andarian> Yes, I'm a big custom setting fan too
[2008-09-20 20:24:00] <@Andarian> Most of my favorite mods are in custom settings
[2008-09-20 20:24:06] <@AME_Starlight> me too
[2008-09-20 20:24:22] <@AME_Starlight> there are too many limitation in the D&D setting
[2008-09-20 20:24:31] <@Axe> I don't know much about things like FR and I always think the best mods are ones where you don't have any preconceived notions about the setting
[2008-09-20 20:24:46] * @AME_Tybae couldn't agree more
[2008-09-20 20:25:01] <@Maddyanne> We start the PC there and leave asap.
[2008-09-20 20:25:10] <@Axe> Plus you don't get those bozos telling you where you went "wrong"
[2008-09-20 20:25:36] * @Ninjaweasel agrees
[2008-09-20 20:25:42] <@AME_Tybae> You know, you can speak your mind, Axe.  You don't have to hold back for us. 
[2008-09-20 20:25:54] <@Andarian> Agreed
[2008-09-20 20:26:11] <@Axe> don't I always?
[2008-09-20 20:26:17] <@Mask> Please do hold back..  Speak as freely as you like..  Restrain the Axe-weildind hand however..
[2008-09-20 20:26:25] <@Maddyanne> I love Crimson Tides of Tethyr, but otherwise, it's custom settings for my favourites.
[2008-09-20 20:26:40] <@Axe> sorry Mask I really have no control over that
[2008-09-20 20:26:42] <@AME_sirchet> I like both
[2008-09-20 20:26:51] * @Mask swallows..  loudly..
[2008-09-20 20:27:20] <@AME_Tybae> Both have their place, but I prefer custom settings, or highly modified D&D based settings.
[2008-09-20 20:27:31] <@AME_Qk> really+
[2008-09-20 20:27:33] <@AME_Qk> ?
[2008-09-20 20:27:51] * @AME_Qk is so confused
[2008-09-20 20:27:56] <@Maddyanne> But I know so little about the FR, things set there might as well be custom set.
[2008-09-20 20:28:05] * @AME_Tybae thinks that's not a new feeling for QK.  XD
[2008-09-20 20:28:07] <@Axe> So anyhow I haven't made a whole lot of progress yet. I did some photoshop stuff for a world map thing I came up with for it.
[2008-09-20 20:28:15] <@AME_sirchet> I do HATE it when someone who has done absolutely nothing towards making an adventure tells you ... you were wrong in your choice
[2008-09-20 20:28:39] <@AME_sirchet> OK, got it off my chest *smiles*
[2008-09-20 20:28:40] <@AME_Qk> no, i was just doing my campaign in custom settings, but i was very worried because of that
[2008-09-20 20:28:50] <@Axe> I started on the module event scripts and the first conversation you get has a few lines written
[2008-09-20 20:29:09] <@AME_Tybae> It's a double edged sword, Qk.  You have the avid fans, then you have the ones with an open mind.
[2008-09-20 20:29:26] <@AME_Tybae> LOL.  That far, huh.
[2008-09-20 20:29:38] <@Axe> can please everyone so I try to concentrate on the smarter folks
[2008-09-20 20:29:42] <@Ashercon> and then there is the psychos
[2008-09-20 20:29:47] <@Axe> like you guys
[2008-09-20 20:29:53] * @Andarian smiles
[2008-09-20 20:29:54] <@Axe> *can't
[2008-09-20 20:29:56] * @Hugie like CToT
[2008-09-20 20:30:02] <@AME_Tybae> Next **************Question*****************
[2008-09-20 20:30:31] <@AME_Tybae> For the winners who did a podcast, have you listened to your cast?  What did you think about the cast?
[2008-09-20 20:30:44] * @AME_Tybae innocently gestures to Ninjaweasel
[2008-09-20 20:30:49] <@Ninjaweasel> um...
[2008-09-20 20:30:56] <@Ninjaweasel> haven't had one yet
[2008-09-20 20:31:07] <@AME_Tybae> That was the reason for the gesture
[2008-09-20 20:31:11] <@AME_Tybae> )
[2008-09-20 20:31:14] <@Ninjaweasel> errr, ok
[2008-09-20 20:31:21] <@Andarian> I listened to mine. I always cringe a bit when I hear my voice, but I thought it was pretty good.
[2008-09-20 20:31:23] * @Ninjaweasel looks sheepishly at the floor
[2008-09-20 20:31:39] <@AME_sirchet> *pokes Skunkeen*
[2008-09-20 20:32:00] <@Axe> I listened to mine yesterday and was a little disappointed how my mic was working
[2008-09-20 20:32:04] <@Skunkeen> record tonight Ninjaweasel?
[2008-09-20 20:32:11] <@Axe> seemed to drop out alot
[2008-09-20 20:32:18] * @Hugie thinks he should win a GDA for worst voice in a podcast
[2008-09-20 20:32:25] * @AME_Tybae agrees
[2008-09-20 20:32:25] * BGPHughes AGREES
[2008-09-20 20:32:29] <@Maddyanne> Yes. We had a great time. The moderators/questioners were wonderful. And I sounded less like an idiot than I was afraid I did.
[2008-09-20 20:32:51] <@Axe> I'd rather hear Estelindis again than myself
[2008-09-20 20:32:53] * @Hugie was on a freaking landline and assures listeners that next time will be much, much better.
[2008-09-20 20:32:55] <@Maddyanne> So I'm reallly glad I listened to it.
[2008-09-20 20:33:00] <@AME_Tybae> No need to be bashful Maddy.  After all, you're the reason why we did the cast. 
[2008-09-20 20:33:03] <@Mask> Estelicious!
[2008-09-20 20:33:14] <@Axe> no doubt
[2008-09-20 20:33:25] * @Hugie really liked Maddy's and Estelicious' podcasts.
[2008-09-20 20:33:35] * @AME_Tybae hands Oreos to Mask in hopes he'll not have a hand free for his keyboard. 
[2008-09-20 20:33:54] * @AME_Qk hopes everybody laughs at qks spanish accent....
[2008-09-20 20:34:05] <@AME_Tybae> You, Jeff and Jim that is.
[2008-09-20 20:34:31] * @AME_Tybae hates Vista's security settings.  BRB
[2008-09-20 20:34:33] * @Maddyanne grins out from under the desk
[2008-09-20 20:34:43] <@Axe> They did a really good job editing out all the stammering I did
[2008-09-20 20:34:53] <@AME_Tybae> ......and we're back
[2008-09-20 20:35:12] <@AME_Tybae> No worries Axe.  It was a fun interview.
[2008-09-20 20:35:22] <@Axe> agreed
[2008-09-20 20:35:43] * @Ashercon laughs
[2008-09-20 20:36:07] <@Ashercon> Im still trying to figure out the Skype mute button!!
[2008-09-20 20:36:22] <@Axe> by the way TonyD sorry about that chipmunk thing
[2008-09-20 20:36:23] <@Andarian> Yeah, I tended to alternate between saying "um" half a dozen times in a row, and running off at the mouth for several minutes at at time.
[2008-09-20 20:36:41] * @AME_Tybae has to concentrate on not talking too fast.
[2008-09-20 20:36:53] <@AME_Tybae> It never works
[2008-09-20 20:36:56] <@AME_Tybae>
[2008-09-20 20:36:56] <@Andarian> Axe: I haven't heard your 'cast yet, but I doubt it's anything I haven't said myself
[2008-09-20 20:37:06] <@Ashercon> I need to apologize to Maddyanne, Jeff, and Jim, for having to hear my coughing fit while we recorded
[2008-09-20 20:37:17] <@Andarian> I definitely have a native New-Yorker's penchant for uncontrollably fast talking
[2008-09-20 20:37:26] * @Ashercon was embarrasssed
[2008-09-20 20:37:33] <@Maddyanne> Too nervous to notice, Ashercon.
[2008-09-20 20:37:37] <@AME_Tybae> At least you don't have the accent, Tony.  LOL
[2008-09-20 20:38:02] <@Axe> Were any of you guys nervous when you did it? I was.
[2008-09-20 20:38:14] <@Maddyanne> I was petrified.
[2008-09-20 20:38:34] <@Andarian> I've kind of gotten used to it by now.
[2008-09-20 20:38:35] <@AME_Tybae> I was waaaaaayyyy nervous on my first podcast, which was the NWN1 GDA winner show.  I'm getting more and more comfortable.
[2008-09-20 20:38:43] <@paulokrantz> uh, you not helping me, guys
[2008-09-20 20:38:54] <@Ashercon> You did awesome Axe!
[2008-09-20 20:38:55] <@Axe> My voice was a little shaky at times but it didn't come out so I guess they fixed it during editing
[2008-09-20 20:39:00] * @paulokrantz is nervous at the simple thought of speaking english after so many years
[2008-09-20 20:39:00] * @AME_Tybae doesn't think LR needs help.
[2008-09-20 20:39:11] <@Maddyanne> Breath deeply and don't drink too much coffee first.
[2008-09-20 20:39:16] <@AME_sirchet> Wait till you hear the out takes and blooper podcast *winks at Skunk*
[2008-09-20 20:39:24] <@Maddyanne> Oh dear
[2008-09-20 20:39:29] * @AME_Tybae finds a glass of whiskey works quite well. 
[2008-09-20 20:39:29] <@Ashercon> Weasel: Please start a thread on the AME podcast forum, and we will get you schedlued!
[2008-09-20 20:39:39] <@Andarian> Ty: You were great on the GDA winner 'cast. I really enjoyed it.
[2008-09-20 20:39:51] <@AME_Qk> anyone heard the Merilinda voice? that was awful xD
[2008-09-20 20:39:52] <@AME_Tybae> Thanks, Tony
[2008-09-20 20:39:57] <@Axe> coffee? lol I had a few shots of whiskey first
[2008-09-20 20:39:59] <@Andarian> Except for Ben's wisecracking, though.
[2008-09-20 20:40:01] * @Hugie thinks Qk should be nice
[2008-09-20 20:40:11] * @Hugie
[2008-09-20 20:40:15] <@AME_Qk> yes, i am xD
[2008-09-20 20:40:24] * @AME_Estelindis grins
[2008-09-20 20:40:34] * @AME_Tybae laughs
[2008-09-20 20:40:35] <@BGPHughes> i DON'T SAY ANYTHING WISE
[2008-09-20 20:40:36] * @AME_Qk brings the horns on the head
[2008-09-20 20:40:36] <@AME_Estelindis> Thanks, guys, btw
[2008-09-20 20:40:39] <@BGPHughes> oops
[2008-09-20 20:40:51] * @AME_Tybae didn't need Ben to say that to know
[2008-09-20 20:40:53] <@AME_Tybae>
[2008-09-20 20:40:59] * @Hugie  is amused
[2008-09-20 20:41:02] <@BGPHughes> there's the evidence then
[2008-09-20 20:41:27] * @Hugie randomly hopes Deekin will be in Dragon Age.
[2008-09-20 20:41:39] * @Hugie is done being distracting now.
[2008-09-20 20:41:43] <@AME_Tybae> ********Question**********  For Tony
[2008-09-20 20:41:52] * @Andarian sits up straight
[2008-09-20 20:42:07] <@AME_Starlight> Deekin!
[2008-09-20 20:42:14] * @AME_Starlight second Hugie
[2008-09-20 20:42:19] <@AME_Tybae> You were nominated last year and didn't win.   Did that make this year's win that much better?
[2008-09-20 20:42:29] <@Andarian> Yes.
[2008-09-20 20:42:45] * @AME_Tybae abuses himself for the closed end question
[2008-09-20 20:42:53] <@AME_Tybae> Please elaborate
[2008-09-20 20:42:59] * @Maddyanne remembers being annoyed at all that little kobold stuff when her halfling was almost a head shorter
[2008-09-20 20:43:14] <@Andarian> But being nominated last year was itself was a great honor
[2008-09-20 20:43:22] <@Andarian> Especially given who I was running against
[2008-09-20 20:44:51] <@Axe> what were you nominated for last year?
[2008-09-20 20:44:55] * @Hugie wants to know who he was running against
[2008-09-20 20:45:04] <@AME_Estelindis> Debut... and...
[2008-09-20 20:45:08] * @AME_Estelindis thinks
[2008-09-20 20:45:09] <@Andarian> I was nominated for Debut Author -- lost to Fester Pot
[2008-09-20 20:45:12] <@AME_Tybae> This year, or last year, Hugie?
[2008-09-20 20:45:13] * @Hugie was it FP?
[2008-09-20 20:45:16] <@Hugie> ohhh
[2008-09-20 20:45:18] <@AME_Estelindis> Yes, FP
[2008-09-20 20:45:29] * @Hugie is unclear -- he meant last year
[2008-09-20 20:45:38] <@AME_Estelindis> So did we
[2008-09-20 20:46:19] <@BGPHughes> Proleric was the other finalist I recall
[2008-09-20 20:46:23] <@AME_Tybae> Andarian vs. Fester Pot.  That would be a tough decision for me.  I'm glad I joined the AME in time to miss that decision.
[2008-09-20 20:46:31] <@Andarian> I was very pleased to be nominated, although I honestly thought that for Debut Author, that FP really deserved it
[2008-09-20 20:46:43] * @Hugie thinsk they should fight to the death -- it's the only solution.
[2008-09-20 20:46:49] <@AME_Tybae> LOL
[2008-09-20 20:47:05] * @AME_Estelindis wonders how such a trial of combat would have gone in the case of Hugie's category ;p
[2008-09-20 20:47:25] * @Hugie could pwn Savant
[2008-09-20 20:47:30] <@AME_Tybae> FP and Andarian are both great storytellers
[2008-09-20 20:47:44] <@AME_Tybae> Really, Hugie?  I'll tell him you said that.
[2008-09-20 20:47:55] <@AME_Tybae>
[2008-09-20 20:47:58] * @Hugie grins
[2008-09-20 20:48:02] * @AME_Estelindis chuckles
[2008-09-20 20:48:07] <@BGPHughes> I think pwn is short for pawn
[2008-09-20 20:48:08] <@Andarian> I was very happy to receive a module category nomination this year, though
[2008-09-20 20:48:11] <@AME_Qk> you had to see the fight in the Community COntribution Categories this year.... some decisions on AME are like live vs death
[2008-09-20 20:50:40] <@AME_Tybae> Jeff can plug Uthant and his other band that I can't remember the name of
[2008-09-20 20:51:05] * @AME_Starlight loves the story and the great volume of magic items. Arh, combat also
[2008-09-20 20:51:31] * @AME_Tybae apologizes for not remembering the name......
[2008-09-20 20:51:45] * @Hugie smacks Tybae with a herring
[2008-09-20 20:52:08] <@Maddyanne> U Thant is Jeff, Jim , And I. Z-Axis is the prog outfit J is with: myspace.com/zaxismusic
[2008-09-20 20:52:27] * @AME_Tybae facepalm
[2008-09-20 20:52:37] <@Maddyanne> myspace.com/uthant
[2008-09-20 20:52:39] <@AME_Tybae> Z-Axis!  Of course
[2008-09-20 20:53:05] <@AME_Tybae> Ok, We'll have 2 more questions, then the free for all
[2008-09-20 20:53:29] <@Axe> I don't think I've ever seen skunkeen go so long without saying something

["Safety 3rd"]

[2008-09-20 20:54:55] * @AME_Tybae thought there was an ' in y'all
[2008-09-20 20:55:32] * @Skunkeen readies to take on the whole room!
[2008-09-20 20:55:54] <@Andarian> Sure! I'm currently working on the final update to Sanctum of the Archmage, version 3.2. Aside from a few minor tweaks, it will add Ridable Pegasi and the Romantic Animations Suite to Sanctum 2
[2008-09-20 20:55:56] <@Skunkeen> all right who wants some Skunk!
[2008-09-20 20:56:07] * @AME_Estelindis can't wait to see it!
[2008-09-20 20:56:25] * @AME_Tybae adorns nose plugs and enters the frey
[2008-09-20 20:56:29] <@Andarian> After that, I'm starting in earnest on Sanctum of the Archmage 3: The Miracle Worker, Act II
[2008-09-20 20:56:41] * @Inayity arms the Bouncing Betty with cans of tomato sauce.
[2008-09-20 20:56:50] <@AME_Tybae> ROFL
[2008-09-20 20:57:11] <@Andarian> I posted some links to demos of the new features earlier, but here they are again: http://sanctum.andarian.net/index.php?m=200809
[2008-09-20 20:57:20] <@Maddyanne> I'm building for Dallo's C:KR revisited right now.  Jim's writing on Tortured Hearts 3. But mostly we can't see past the evil path yet. It pretty much fills our game building horizon.
[2008-09-20 20:57:36] * @AME_Tybae wonders if Ninjaweasel and Axe heard SHAMELESS PLUG TIME!!!!!!
[2008-09-20 20:57:52] <@Axe> I think I answered that question earlier
[2008-09-20 20:58:04] * @AME_Starlight that's amazing, Maddy!
[2008-09-20 20:58:06] <@AME_sirchet> nijaweasel had an announcement to make
[2008-09-20 20:58:18] <@AME_Tybae> That's what I was eluding to, Chet
[2008-09-20 20:58:33] <@Ninjaweasel> intimate animations suite is being expanded to include an F-F set
[2008-09-20 20:58:34] <@AME_sirchet> Ooops *ninjaweasel* sorry
[2008-09-20 20:58:51] <@Ninjaweasel> this was a direct result of a request made by ADK
[2008-09-20 20:58:54] <@Ninjaweasel> of Kunoichi fame
[2008-09-20 20:58:56] <@Maddyanne> What about M-M?
[2008-09-20 20:59:05] <@Ninjaweasel> no requests for M-M at this time
[2008-09-20 20:59:06] * @AME_Starlight second the question
[2008-09-20 20:59:09] <@AME_Tybae> *C:KR
[2008-09-20 20:59:12] * @AME_Starlight mememe
[2008-09-20 20:59:35] <@Maddyanne> Jim would request it if he were here.
[2008-09-20 20:59:38] * @AME_Tybae knew Starlight was going to say that. 
[2008-09-20 20:59:46] <@AME_Starlight> heh
[2008-09-20 21:00:00] <@Ninjaweasel> romatinc animations suite is also being adapted to work without phenotype chagnes
[2008-09-20 21:00:02] <@Ninjaweasel> *changes
[2008-09-20 21:00:03] <@AME_Starlight> Ninja, a request for M-M here
[2008-09-20 21:00:28] <@Maddyanne> oooooo...So it will work for halflings and such?
[2008-09-20 21:00:31] <@Inayity> Andarian: Those romantic animations + John Bye's Gestalt camera system shots = Hello Niagra!  Great stuff!
[2008-09-20 21:00:33] <@Ninjaweasel> meaning that it should be accessible by all phenotypes
 [2008-09-20 21:00:55] <@Ninjaweasel> even static NPC characters
[2008-09-20 21:01:00] <@Axe> what about M-F-F that's my fav
[2008-09-20 21:01:06] * @Hugie wonders if Maddy has a halfling obsession...
[2008-09-20 21:01:10] <@Ninjaweasel> though the anims may not properly line up
[2008-09-20 21:01:11] <@Skunkeen> DVDA in the works?
[2008-09-20 21:01:22] <@AME_sirchet> M-F-F-F-F-F heh heh
[2008-09-20 21:01:26] * @AME_Tybae has his mind deeeeeep in the gutter
[2008-09-20 21:01:28] <@AME_Starlight> M-M-M is fine for me also
[2008-09-20 21:01:32] <@Andarian> Right, there's only so much you can do with very mismatched character sizes
[2008-09-20 21:01:35] <@AME_sirchet> LOL
[2008-09-20 21:01:44] <@Ninjaweasel> threesomes have been requested, and are being considered
[2008-09-20 21:01:57] <@Skunkeen> DVDA
[2008-09-20 21:02:07] <@Inayity> I'm thinking "inside the box" here- nobody's mentioned M-F-(placeable) yet....
[/color][2008-09-20 21:02:07] * @Ninjaweasel will consider an M-M set, please get in touch with me via email[/color]
[2008-09-20 21:02:08] <@Andarian> Even human/elf is difficult to make look ok
[2008-09-20 21:02:10] <@AME_Estelindis> o.O
[2008-09-20 21:02:16] <@Andarian> Inayity: thanks!
[2008-09-20 21:02:22] <@AME_Starlight> sure, Ninja
[2008-09-20 21:02:23] * @Maddyanne remembers the hard time Hugie was giving her about elves
[2008-09-20 21:02:28] * @AME_Tybae should add Intimate Animations suite to his mod with Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on" in the background.
[2008-09-20 21:02:36] <@Ninjaweasel> also
[2008-09-20 21:02:49] * @Ninjaweasel is prepared to assist in module/PW integration of his animation suites
[2008-09-20 21:02:53] <@AME_Estelindis> There are soooo many different kinds of placeables out there - this is getting a bit scary for me
[2008-09-20 21:03:04] <@Axe> halfling don't have to kneel
[2008-09-20 21:03:07] <@AME_Starlight> haha...that's really hard to imagine...
[2008-09-20 21:03:21] * @Maddyanne tries not to think about placeables
[2008-09-20 21:03:22] * @AME_Tybae is grateful Pstemarie is working on the Community Placable Pack
[2008-09-20 21:03:32] <@AME_Tybae> *Placeable
[2008-09-20 21:03:33] <@Ninjaweasel> first-come-first-served basis, serious projects only
[2008-09-20 21:04:03] <@AME_Tybae> Final **************Question************ For all winners.
[2008-09-20 21:04:15] <@AME_Starlight> I'm more than willing to test for M-M one
 [2008-09-20 21:04:31] <@Andarian> I found that it's pretty straightforward, though, if you can script reasonably well
[2008-09-20 21:04:56] <@Andarian> Most of the effort is in getting the characters into position to start the animation sequence
[2008-09-20 21:05:10] * @Ninjaweasel is also accepting donations/contributions towards getting his dev machine upgraded
[2008-09-20 21:05:21] <@AME_Tybae> Any parting words, or thanks you'd like to give?
[2008-09-20 21:05:25] <@Andarian> lol
[2008-09-20 21:05:26] <@Ninjaweasel> better machine==more animations
[2008-09-20 21:05:37] <@Axe> yes -- I made a list     lol
[2008-09-20 21:05:57] <@AME_Tybae> Axe has a list?   Nooooooooo.  *sarcasm, sarcasm*
[2008-09-20 21:06:13] * @Andarian takes out a sheet of paper and adjust his glasses
[2008-09-20 21:06:17] <@Inayity> I need to work dexterity checks into some of those moves.
[2008-09-20 21:06:40] <@AME_Starlight> consitution check also ;-P
[2008-09-20 21:07:00] <@Axe> wisdom too
[2008-09-20 21:07:10] <@AME_Starlight> and charisma?
[2008-09-20 21:07:19] * @AME_Estelindis laughs
[2008-09-20 21:07:22] <@Inayity> Ya especially, as they say in the barracks, "Orc in the superior position"
[2008-09-20 21:07:33] <@Axe> charisma doesn't come into play until later
[2008-09-20 21:07:34] <@AME_Starlight> and strength check also!!!
[2008-09-20 21:07:40] <@AME_sirchet> how about "perform" ?
[2008-09-20 21:07:48] <@AME_Starlight> lore?
[2008-09-20 21:07:50] <@AME_Starlight> tumble?
[2008-09-20 21:07:50] <@Andarian> Well, I'd like to thank my players for their support and enthusiasm -- without that, Sanctum of the Archmage would never have been going forward as a series.
[2008-09-20 21:07:54] <@Axe> disable trap
[2008-09-20 21:08:01] <@Inayity> So now Bards won't be the only ones with "magic instruments"?
[2008-09-20 21:08:02] <@AME_Starlight> pickpocket
[2008-09-20 21:08:15] <@Skunkeen> Lore
[2008-09-20 21:08:24] <@AME_sirchet> looking forward to your next version Tony
[2008-09-20 21:08:32] <@AME_Tybae> Ahem, Parry *ducks in shame*
[2008-09-20 21:08:52] <@Inayity> We have a good time here on the Internets.  8^)
[2008-09-20 21:08:56] <@Axe> parry for starlight
[2008-09-20 21:09:02] <@Andarian> I also want to thank my fellow members of the AME for the award. Having worked with them for so long, I know how serious they are about recognizing quality, and just how much an award from them means.
[2008-09-20 21:09:09] <@AME_Starlight> hide in plain sight
[2008-09-20 21:09:23] <@AME_Tybae> You're welcome, Tony.  It was well deserved.
[2008-09-20 21:09:31] <@AME_sirchet> Shhhhhh.... winners talking
[2008-09-20 21:09:38] * @Inayity unexpectedly chortles at Starlight's comment, a bit of the vintner's best leaking from one nostril.
[2008-09-20 21:09:38] <@AME_Tybae> Anyone else for thanks, etc?
[2008-09-20 21:09:40] <@AME_Starlight> You deserve it, Andarian. You have done a great job for your module.
[2008-09-20 21:09:41] <@Andarian> Thanks, Chet -- did you get a chance to finish yet?
[2008-09-20 21:09:56] <@Axe> I'd like to thank the AME team and expecially senor Hughes for putting it all together
[2008-09-20 21:10:05] <@Maddyanne> Thanks very much to all the folks in the AME. It's a massive undertaking. Getting the awards meant more to us than I can say. And thanks to all the folks who've played Citadel and given us their feedback. We've gotten so much help and encouragement from them.
[2008-09-20 21:10:20] <@AME_sirchet> nope, I started citadel and am torn between the two
[2008-09-20 21:10:34] * @Hugie group hug
[2008-09-20 21:10:38] <@Andarian> I can understand that.
[2008-09-20 21:10:58] <@Axe> and Jim Beam of course
[2008-09-20 21:11:01] * @AME_Tybae thinks Citadel is one of the best, most well rounded modules he's played.
[2008-09-20 21:11:01] <@AME_sirchet> both are equally AMAZING!
[2008-09-20 21:11:30] <@Andarian> Axe: I agree, I think Ben deserves a big round of applause for his hard work and leadership over the last year!
[2008-09-20 21:11:38] * @Maddyanne blushes
[2008-09-20 21:11:51] <@Maddyanne> Hear hear
[2008-09-20 21:11:55] * @AME_Starlight clapping hands...
[2008-09-20 21:11:56] <@AME_Qk> Ben ruuuuuuuulez
[2008-09-20 21:11:56] * @Hugie would like to thank his mom
[2008-09-20 21:11:59] <@Axe> no AME == no award to win so....
[2008-09-20 21:12:00] * @Hugie oh, and Ben
[2008-09-20 21:12:01] * @Maddyanne claps wildly
[2008-09-20 21:12:01] <@Andarian> Sirchet: now *that's* a compliment!
[2008-09-20 21:12:02] * @Inayity applauds heartily.
[2008-09-20 21:12:16] <@[1]BGPHughes> iS THE RIGHT TIME FOR ME TO HAVE ANOTHER COMPUTER CRASH?
[2008-09-20 21:12:17] <@AME_Tybae> Shhhhhh... it goes straight to his head. 
[2008-09-20 21:12:26] <@AME_sirchet> but I must say... flying horseeees may push Tony into the lead.
[2008-09-20 21:12:33] <@[1]BGPHughes> man, what'a up with my typing today!
[2008-09-20 21:12:37] <@[1]BGPHughes> but thanks anyway
[2008-09-20 21:12:47] * @AME_Tybae sends Ben a large slab of hickory smoked Bacon.
[2008-09-20 21:13:00] * @AME_Estelindis does a celebratory dance
[2008-09-20 21:13:04] <@[1]BGPHughes> I think everyone in AME does this in order to further the community in general
[2008-09-20 21:13:07] * @Hugie whistles
[2008-09-20 21:13:11] * @AME_Estelindis agrees
[2008-09-20 21:13:11] <@[1]BGPHughes> the fact that it seems to work is pretty gratifying
[2008-09-20 21:13:15] * @Maddyanne sighs over the not appropriateness of horses in a planar city module
[2008-09-20 21:13:16] * @AME_Tybae agrees
[2008-09-20 21:13:31] * @AME_Starlight priase all of the fellow AME members!
[2008-09-20 21:13:42] <@Andarian> Starlight: hear hear!
[2008-09-20 21:13:54] * @AME_Starlight maybe a garden for flaying horses, Maddy?
[2008-09-20 21:13:58] <@AME_Tybae> I look at it as a way of giving back to a community that's given me so much.
[2008-09-20 21:13:58] * @Maddyanne and the joins Estelindas in celebratory dancing
[2008-09-20 21:14:02] <@Andarian> Maddy: Romantic Animations, on the other hand...
[2008-09-20 21:14:16] <@Axe> I'd also like to thank Estilicious for sounding so sweet and tasty
[2008-09-20 21:14:21] <@Maddyanne> flaying? Now there's evil path stuff.
[2008-09-20 21:14:25] <@AME_Estelindis> Teehee
[2008-09-20 21:14:27] <@AME_Starlight> oops...

[2008-09-20 21:14:30] <@AME_Starlight> hahah
[2008-09-20 21:14:35] <@AME_Starlight> * flying
[2008-09-20 21:14:35] <@Hugie> is way too happy about AME -- needs to go visit the MoW forums to quell the happyswelling
[2008-09-20 21:14:37] <@AME_sirchet> *Maddyanne*
[2008-09-20 21:14:49] <@AME_Estelindis> Ooo, harsh, Hugie

Was a great chat! Good job Tybae.
