Not only in Canada do you know Smarties. - The concurrent product here is M&Ms.

no, no, no!
M&M's are TOTALLY different than Smarties! (they sell both in Canada)
While it's true, they both share the chocolate with candy coating, the proportions of candy to chocolate are quite different in the two products. These subtleties are important to those of us who are passionate about our confectionary!
Besides, M&Ms confuse me. The packages I get are always duds -- only 25% are M's -- the rest are W's, E's and 3's

  USA has a different take on it:  http://www.fenwickgifts.com/candy/smarties.jpg

ah.
That, my friend, is what we call "Rockets".

here down under Smarties are LIKE M&M's, i think they are probably the same as what they have in Canada.



Thats what we have here.pretty much sugar coated chocolate.

yup, that's it! Very different than M&M's, as people can plainly see.   

Anyways, back on topic --
This topic reminds me of one of my favorite Star Trek: Next Generation episodes, where Picard encounters a race whose language is composed ENTIRELY of metaphors. Lacking context for the metaphors, understanding the language becomes very difficult.

Not a bad effort, Moggy.
It could use a little polish, but it works well, is a pretty unique idea, and is pretty fun.

 

Happy Birthday, Janner, my friend! May your next 50 years be as full of adventures, stories, and altruism as the last 50!

I leave you with 2 quotes, both of which apply 100% to the inimitable Janner:

"I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way."   
   -- Mark Twain

... and ...

"An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous."
   -- Henry Ford

I'm pretty sure she means "vignette", as in, short story.

This is why I believe we should first crush all existing religions and then aany religions that attempt to spawn in their places.

Religion = death, hatred, general havoc and *^%&

so an athiest dictatorship ?
Believe what I want you to believe or I will crush you ?

sounds like you have a little hatred yourself.

Peace will never be spread with an iron fist.

Interesting, Laragorn.
I'd assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the original statement was an attempt at intelligent irony. Sadly, perhaps I was wrong.


FWIW in this specific context, religions had little to do with black slavery in America. In fact, Quakers, Congregationalists, and Welseyans, Methodists and Baptists all played huge roles in the Underground Railway... To say nothing of the formal official opposition of slavery by the Baptists and Presbyterians.

IMHO, black slavery in America had everything to do with economics; nothing to do with religion.

But then again, it's certainly stylish/safe to take broad pot-shots at religion, isn't it.
 

I agree, the music is totally off.
Nevermind that it's not to my "old-man" tastes,    it just sounds odd in a Planeshift context.
However, if you turn the sound off (what I did), then the net result is quite good.
It's like a visually interesting exploration of Planeshift, including jumping off high places. Not sure if that was the theme you were trying to go for, but that's what I get out of it. I've always wondered what happens when you jump off Eagle's Head, but it takes me so long to walk there, I've never done it. I consider this to be a "public service" 

I like!


If you post more, Datruth, I'd love to watch them 

You may also want to try a different client. I've used bitTorrent on several platforms, and found it to be simply awful in terms of configurability, features, and raw download speed.
I've downloaded identical torrents using BT and Azureus, with Azureus being easily twice as fast at resolving peer connections and pulling the data across.
Azureus has much better tools for indicating if your firewall is interfering, if your ports are being blocked, etc.

Legolas, if you don't use torrents often, it might be easier to simply use the non-torrent method of getting the file, as mentioned by Kymizer. See http://www.planeshift.it/download.html, and click, for example,
http://www.psmirror.org/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe

Cheers.

I had this problem as well.

• At the first splash screen, there are those 5 musical notes (duh duh duh duh DUH), and after a fresh reboot, first launch of psclient.exe, it would get up to "duh duh duh duh ", but never get to the last note "DUH".
• Subsequent launches of  psclient.exe were worse (didn't get to the first "duh").  --- boy, trying to describe music with text sounds dumb
• Disabling sound (as well as the other load/render options in PSetup) didn't make a difference.
• I tried with and without the .zip patch, no difference.
• I tried re-installing (without un-installing); no difference.

What finally worked for me was to uninstall Planeshift (Using the option in the PlaneShift Start Menu), then installing, then applying the zip patch.

Good luck!
