Dragonspyre

The quote in my sig explains it perfectly, really. The power of a legacy is not it's size, but how long it lasts. The greatest empire is meaningless if forgotten.

Well, thanks for the great feedback! Since I know all this work will just fade into obscurity in time, it's nice to know it's appreciate in the meantime.

Will read more than once... First time I've heard that...

An interesting prose indeed, quite an insightful read. How I finish that with speed, answer does that need. Surely the poem of this day, merry with wit and gay. Interesting still will this stay, that be it this very way. How emotion does it evoke, wake me but by a poke. Humour now might provoke, as this is only just joke. :P

Thanks. It was pretty heavily inspired by things that WERE in a literature book: Beowulf and Gilgamesh. Pretty nice though, to have one of my works treading water on the first page of DG, and not stuck on the second page. :P

First: Yes, you do. Second: Put collision on everything. It still should come up, but it's to prevent problems. Third: You not only lack mapped and linked textures, but it appears to be that you mislinked the path for the NIF in nifskope.

What lies to be, Shant be free Wrapped in dream, and shrouded mist of twilight's gleam Lies my soul, adrift in the oblique home of my sanctuary As I cast my icy breath upon these solemn streams Who am I, but flesh and bone, dust short of an obituary The requiems of the night speak, as like glass I shatter Yet as I remain caught between heaven and hell, I be wary The world was not always like this, a cold mass of matter But once, I did not feel this rain that grasps my hand now Rather, between tranquility and desolation, fate chose the latter Sometimes when I lie on my bed of rock and sand I think how How indeed these tongues of serpents and men had turned me to ice And how I stay my hand and refuse to take my final, lonely bow Fire and water and earth and wind, give and take, no offering suffice The east wind chars my skin, and the floods leave me cold and wet The earth crumbles to its core to reject, and gales do my skin slice As my pyre builds and I am rapt in ilex bands and evory, I may forget What a life could be like where a man could make mistakes and repent Where I walked in the shadows, I now wait for the time to pay my debt All worth living is not for the faint of heart, and I stood still and my life was spent But I wonder if in my cavern of wisps and flame I might find some answers I had Perhaps, though, I lived so ill that I had not thought about change until I went Maybe death's cold embrace shall bring me comfort, or maybe life was where I should have been glad I have now soon to pay the price for becoming the hoarfrost, atone in death for becoming the pestilence The ruination of this oak tomb has come to pass and fade in the umbra of a dawn to come to the bad Perhaps in this life I thought too much, and acted too little, and where so lies in that sense The one thing that could have razed my iron veins and amber hide, angel note as God sends That perhaps now my bell shall echo a vapid toll, and void shall I remain then and hence For you see, I descend into Diablos' jaw, and be strapped in Leviathan's maw, as my soul bleeds and bends For deserve I not mercy for my sloth, in full have I earned the wrath of God and revulsion of men forever I now lie a dragon's fodder, bone and ash in rejected voice of the waves of the Void, and in desolation... so my life ends.

I think it's just a little odd playing the opposite gender. It just feels... weird.

*sigh* :dry: If I may weigh in, I'll put down some pretty simple pieces of information, most of which is reiteration on what is already known. First off, Area 51 is actually really boring. Moronic people tend to take "Top secret" as something wildly blown out of proportion, making simply nonsensical and puerile claims in a baffling and surquedous manner. The realistic explanation, and the true one at that, is that not only do normal people need to know about most secret stuff (Which would really just bore them to death), but also that telling every security secret we have would only give our enemies time to prepare better against these things. Espionage would really be a joke, then. Somehow, the idea of a realistic explanation for withheld information is secret alien experimentation, nuclear war strategies, and UFO harboring. First off, there is a reason there were "UFO" crashes. UFO means, as we all know, unidentified flying object. Honestly, YOU try identifying some of the stuff that crashes. When crashes happen, it's never in a neat little pile. It's a hellish scrap pile. As well, even if they do identify it, what do you honestly expect they'd say if it WAS a top secret plane? Whatever they call it, crazies would ask why massive amounts of planes are being tested, and would panic and assume we are on the brink of war. As for UFO sightings, it's fairly hard to miss B2 Bomber drones with several million candlepower lighting way up in the sky. As for the miles of underground terrain, ever consider it might be a BUNKER? You know... if one of our enemies decides to nuke the place?

Whilst this has been good food for thought, I'm not sure I can find the exact way to phrase what I'm trying to say. With that, I'm out.

Zeno's Paradoxes were examples I used when other people disputed the existence of time. I figured refuting the existence of space (Although I should have used only the mathematical versions, because everyone thought the arrow and Achilles parables were LITERAL.) I myself realize time both passes in a way that can be observed and exists as a dimension, but most of my arguments were directed at those who claimed that time did not have either property.

*creates fire using the Snowblayze 9000* *Sends out giant horde of snow and ice dragons to reign in terror in the skies, showering earth with icicles, comets, and icy flames* AHAHAHA! FLY, MY PRETTIES, FLY!

If he didn't use Kanji or Hiragana, I'd probably get most of what he is saying...

The problem I'm seeing with your argument is that you are treating non-literal examples as literal, and treating the intangible as if it is tangible. The basic principle behind Zeno's Paradoxes states that when something moves from point to point , it must first get to a point halfway between each. To get to that point, it must first travel to a point halfway between the first and middle points, and to get to there, you must get to a point halfway between those two points. In this, it was stated that since an infinite amount of points much be reached to reach across any distance, that no motion technically occurs, as what is between no motion and motion must be reached, and halfway between each new set of points must be reached. It is stated in this mathematical sequence: {...,1/16,1/8,1/4,1/2,1} This description requires one to complete an infinite number of tasks, which Zeno maintains is an impossibility. This sequence also presents a second problem in that it contains no first distance to run, for any possible (finite) first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. Hence, the trip cannot even begin. The paradoxical conclusion then would be that travel over any finite distance can neither be completed nor begun, and so all motion must be an illusion. As for you asking me to show you time, the past, present, or future... it would be in vain. Time is not a physical object. Time, like gravity, exists without any ability to record it. Were the physical proof of a concept the requirement for it becoming fact, very little of science would be considered true. Neither gravity nor atoms have been seen and observed, yet both are universally believed to exist. One doesn't have to be aware of time for time to exist. The belief or disbelief of any given person's opinion bears no weight on whether or not something exists. If it exists, it exists, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Whilst we can sense space around us, we cannot sense time. We do not possess an understanding of time. What hope is there of knowing the ins and outs of something we have no ability to understand? As much as I have spent my own life delving into the enigmatic and wondrous machinations of time, I still have extremely little understanding of how it works. I cannot show YOU time, because I barely know how I view it myself. In the past, I've had entire nights built upon dreams that ended up being small, precise, unimportant events that happened sometime later. I hardly recollect any of them, but I remember faintly that in one, I visualized talking about a specific subject in a specific room, towards a specific person at a specific angle, and a very specific sequence of cars went by out the window. I originally thought this was a dream, until every single detail happened PRECISELY as observed 3 or 4 days later. Yes, I realize this sounds a tad batty, but my studies in time have taught me far more than I was meant to. Far more. To observe time requires understanding of it, and the belief that it doesn't exist does not reflect very good understanding of it, but rather a relativistic view on an absolutist matter.

Aw, sweet, someone who knows how to write Japanese! Edit: Odd, I would have thought it would have been Sukayerimu. Then again, ye never was widespread.
