** climbs out of his pint ** Morning, mate; only just got everything back under control at the Helldesk

** tosses Beldin a can of Duff and cracks one open for himself too **

**catches the can and starts to SLURR into a new day**

Hi mate ! Good to hear that . How's your trainee coming along ?

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 2:07 am

Turns out he's attended quite a few LAN parties and he's even mad enough to play online at the beach

- he'll do nicely...

** takes a drink from his Duff ** He has heard of Baldur's Gate, but hasn't played it yet. Not an RPG-er in general, but he did buy Morrowind recently...

Well, E-Man, sounds like we might have found another vict...
-ahem- potential SYMbiont -ahem- ...

.

Is he here "to stay" or just for training ?

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 2:51 am

LOL

. My supervisor isn't sure on that subject

- he's here for a few months at least, but what happens afterwards, isn't certain yet... ** SLURRs more Duff **

Hint: Get rid of the supervisor

.

**takes out the pipe, lights it, puffs, and offers it to Eerhardt**

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 3:27 am

He's a tough one. He survived several attempts at electrocution

** takes the pipe from Beldin and tokes on it a few times, before handing it back ** BTW, how's the diet going, mate

?

Not so bad....I've already lost my sense of humor

....
but honestly - I don't expect any results before end of next week.... I try to find a way to change my eating habits in the long run.... Any "Crash-Diet" would just result in getting my weight back as soon as I stopped....

....

re - "electrocution" - find a nice girl in the office, make her wear high-heels and miniskirts and wait for some sexual harassement to happen (or make it happen

)....tape it and you're rid of him...

**takes back the pipe and smokes**

LOL

. No worries (copyright@Beldin) re. the diet - seems like a sensible approach

ROFL re. harassment suit

- Where do you get those wonderful ideas? ** SLURRs some more Duff **

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 5:27 am

re - ideas: You might also want to look here. ....

**opens another can of Duff**

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 5:34 am

An endless source of inspiritation!

- naturally, I'll finish that list, àfter I try the miniskirt idea first

** takes another drink from his Duff ** Ooh yeah

**waves**

hey!!! hey!!!! I'm here. Let this be evidence that I checked in to work before 8am for the first time in months. Of course, I'm going to need to hang out here for half an hour to wake up!

**cracks open a can of whatever is available**

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 7:54 am

** Duff cheerleaders cheer ** Gòòòòòòòòòooooo, Ned!

Morning, mate

** prepares a mug of fresh C.C.B. to go with that can **

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 8:05 am

Graciously accepts the morning offerings from Eery paying homage to the diety of the eternal buzz. **healthy swigs taken**

And, there was much rejoicing.

@Beldin, that "The End" link was priceless. very funny stuff.

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 8:20 am

LOL

- here, here! ** toasts with his can of Duff, accompanied by the squeeks of hamsters and drunken cries of rangers everywhere rejoicing ** I agree; your comment on that link was pretty good too, Ned

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 8:26 am

**lifts up Eery's hat to see if he's bumped his head recently**

All this talk of hamsters and rangers rejoicing makes me nervous. The second Minsc said that the first time I played BG2, I cut him down where he stood, looted his body, and told the party to walk away.

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 8:29 am

Quite a character, that Minsc. Only took him with me on my first run through SoA (and paired him up with Lilarcor

). I prefer my 'custom' party. Working on putting Jay and Silent Bob in too

the first time I went through the game was with a custom party. i thought the npc's were weak in bg1 with respect to depth so i ditched 'em in bg2. what a mistake, that added so much to the npc's and i didn't realize it. thus, i consider my first 'true' time through the game was with npc's.

plus my custom party was a bunch of asskickers. ranger, ftr/cl, monk, druid, bard, and th/mage. It was ugly. The game provides enough scrolls to the point where it is ok to not have a mage casting at a real high level. From there on out, I preferred to play with parties of four.

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Thu Nov 21, 2002 9:07 am

I think a 4-member party is the best set-up. Up till now, my custom party consisted of a dual-classed F/M, a Berserker and a dual-classed T/C (with room for NPC's for side-quests) ** finishes his can of Duff ** At high level, they became ridiculously overpowered
