    Hi there. I'm kind of a lurker around here, but now I'm wondering if it's possible to post screenshots directly in these forums. I just got one that's kinda funny, and i bet most of you have some. I didn't find a screenshot thread, so that made me wonder if it's against some rules or unwritten moral codex :p

    Actually, the thread is over in SS, but it's not what it sounds like you're expecting. We can't post images on the board, so screenshots go on the front page of the site, at the rate of one a week. Here you can find detailed instructions on taking (though it sounds like you've already got that down) and submitting screenshots. Thank you in advance for your submission. :)

    Well, you're right, that wasn't really what I was looking for, thanks for helping anyway :) I submitted a screenshot to SotW, hope they like it. I understand that one picture / week is enough when the game isn't just a week old anymore, but still, I don't like the wait :p

    Edit: Hmm.. Seems my message got returned due to an nonexisting emailadress. On the page you linked to, I can't really read the email I'm supposed to send to. Is it [snip]? [snip]? That one part of the entire page is kinda blurred :s

    ^Yes, the link works. I see Yoshimo's statistics, my, you do not know how to use him effectively, eh? :p

    The links work.
    The address there is [snip] but when I email a submission, I send it to [snip] (no 's' after the first sorcerer).

    There's a slight chance that you're correct. I'm a click-and-forgeter. Autoattack is so nice and easy :) I'll go and learn more advanced tactics when i start using the "this game is too easy"-mods ;)
    Still, fear the evil Mephit Portal!

    Anyone else got some funny pictures to post?

    So what's the joke about that screenshot? That yoshimo has a low kill count? He's only been in your party for 13 hours, perhaps you rested during 8 of those, so I guess I really am not grasping the joke.

    I just found it funny that the strongest thing he's killed is a Mephit Portal, nothing more than that.

    /waves hand. *This is not the thread you're looking for*

    Someone else post something actually funny please :)

    It's quite amusing, but possibly for all the wrong reasons... 13 DAYS, not hours, with the party and the toughest thing he's killed is a mephit portal from the room right next to where you picked him up... and his favourite weapon is a scimitar - he comes with his own katana +1 and a short bow! I feel compelled to ask, what's your party been doing for 13 days, apart from not getting any experience?!

    Come now, Mazzy is present. Maybe Yoshi was sleeping ?

    The second. [snip] And you're right, it is a bit blurred. Hopefully Tal will see this and correct it.
    Actually, if you do the math, he's gotten ~344,500 XP, not counting XP rewards from quests. Yoshi simply hasn't killed anything worth 5000 XP since the Mephit portal back in Irenicus's Dungeon. (They're quite overrated in XP reward.)

    [​IMG] I've fixed the mail. It's actually been like that there for months, but no one has noticed and let me know about it. :bad:

    It was listed properly in the checklist at the bottom, but not under the "E-mailing" header. It should look ok everywhere now.

    Also, I've edited out the references to the mail from this thread. The reason why the mail is not selectable on the site is because spambots pick up the address listed as text, and I get way too much spam at that address already. So, the same could happen here.

    Intersting. I feel bad about not figuring out that way for spambots to get email adresses myself, but still, interesting to know :)

    Also, come on, post some pictures anyone. I feel like being the only guy in class who sings the words to some song, like an evil flashback to school :p

    Edit:
    BTW, I forgot to ask. What's wrong with this part of it all?

    There's nothing 'wrong' per se, but as he already comes with a more powerful melee weapon and the proficiency to wield it, why would you then give him an allegedly less powerful weapon (unless it was an enchanted scimitar, which are relatively rare)
