KWM01 (7:19:48 PM): true KWM01 (7:19:57 PM): much shorter too QueenSidhe (7:20:16 PM): Probably too hard to keep up the momentum. Z0rPr1me (7:20:31 PM): true KWM01 (7:21:44 PM): So what did you guys thimk of the book? KWM01 (7:21:53 PM): think Z0rPr1me (7:22:22 PM): pretty good QueenSidhe (7:22:25 PM): Sorry. 4.5 conversations at once. lol KWM01 (7:22:37 PM): :-) Z0rPr1me (7:23:00 PM): but the text copy i had on puter was missing 2 or 3 chapters...

Z0rPr1me (7:24:59 PM): I still understood the story Z0rPr1me (7:25:09 PM): 24 Z0rPr1me (7:25:17 PM): let me check (7:25:36 PM) Olle878 has entered the room. Z0rPr1me (7:25:39 PM): 25 KWM01 (7:25:48 PM): The part where they go after the monster and the anti-fire dust Olle878 (7:25:48 PM): Hello Z0rPr1me (7:25:49 PM): hello Olle KWM01 (7:25:55 PM): Hi QueenSidhe (7:26:09 PM): Hiya Olle Olle878 (7:26:27 PM): Hi Z0rPr1me (7:26:30 PM): anyone read the others in the series? KWM01 (7:26:37 PM): yes Olle878 (7:26:46 PM): no, but I wrote down the titles :-) Z0rPr1me (7:26:47 PM): good? Z0rPr1me (7:26:52 PM): hehe QueenSidhe (7:27:02 PM): They already have anti-fire in chapter 24. Z0rPr1me (7:27:29 PM): anti-fire i remember KWM01 (7:27:31 PM): yes, especially the third one Z0rPr1me (7:27:36 PM): so maybe it was another Olle878 (7:27:44 PM): Is Griff a main character in all of them? Z0rPr1me (7:27:58 PM): or maybe it was just one phrase :-) ROFL Z0rPr1me (7:28:15 PM): I hope Griff is main character KWM01 (7:28:30 PM): yes, and some of the charectors from the first book are back in the third QueenSidhe (7:28:46 PM): Ack. QueenSidhe (7:28:52 PM): Dinner time now. Be back asap. QueenSidhe (7:29:20 PM): Sorry! Z0rPr1me (7:29:21 PM): cool Z0rPr1me (7:29:27 PM): np vikie Z0rPr1me (7:29:33 PM): I'll be here Z0rPr1me (7:30:17 PM): The idea of a big game like that is interesting. Z0rPr1me (7:30:38 PM): Did they actually went somewhere or are they in a big building with holograms? Olle878 (7:31:01 PM): I thought the authors did a good job of making me understand the whole park thing. The little rides and the main one. Olle878 (7:31:29 PM): Lots of holograms, but the building was big. KWM01 (7:32:00 PM): not sure, Zor but I think a building Z0rPr1me (7:32:07 PM): yeah big one! Z0rPr1me (7:32:12 PM): hehe KWM01 (7:33:37 PM): favorite parts? Z0rPr1me (7:33:50 PM): Zombie fight! Olle878 (7:33:54 PM): oooh Olle878 (7:34:05 PM): that went on and on and on and... KWM01 (7:34:48 PM): Zor, you've been playing too much Diablo.:-) Z0rPr1me (7:34:56 PM): LOL Z0rPr1me (7:34:58 PM): True!! Z0rPr1me (7:35:41 PM): Hmmm... let me see. The first fight was nicely written. against the sea serpent or something like that. Z0rPr1me (7:36:12 PM): How about you all, any favorite parts? Olle878 (7:36:28 PM): I couldn't picture the huge birds that attacked, maybe I didn't read it closely enough KWM01 (7:37:06 PM): The fight to reach the plane was cool KWM01 (7:37:41 PM): I also like the way they stopped the bomb Olle878 (7:37:51 PM): Even earlier than the serpents, the description of the Haunted House ride (?). Just the thought of walking underwather and breathing was incredible. To be able to suspend disbelief is amazing Z0rPr1me (7:38:09 PM): I like the glowing color for knowing if you were dead or if the place was safe. That was nice, well it was in my head LOL Olle878 (7:38:11 PM): Stopped which bomb? One blew up. I'm forgetting something.... Z0rPr1me (7:38:13 PM): Olle true Olle878 (7:38:39 PM): The Lore Master had some good knowledge but I thought he should have been smarter. KWM01 (7:39:00 PM): well, not stopped but suppressed/reduced the effect of. KWM01 (7:39:42 PM): The atomic bomb Olle878 (7:40:06 PM): Actually, one neat part was when someone went back for the head and the Lopez (?) duo looked at each other and nodded was neat, after I realized they were excited that the crew had done the right thing. Z0rPr1me (7:40:56 PM): hehe Olle878 (7:41:07 PM): To me it showed they weren't trying to "get" the Lore Master, they were in it for how good a game they could create. KWM01 (7:43:01 PM): Anyone figure out the murderer before the end? I didn't. Z0rPr1me (7:43:03 PM): Yeah, I was surprise. I thought they were there to beat him :-) Olle878 (7:43:16 PM): I didn't. Z0rPr1me (7:43:35 PM): I didn't but I suspected Tony... tho I never thought it was an accident. I was never really sure QueenSidhe (7:43:52 PM): back Olle878 (7:43:58 PM): wb Olle878 (7:44:03 PM): read fast! KWM01 (7:44:12 PM): :-) Z0rPr1me (7:44:13 PM): welcome back KWM01 (7:45:22 PM): I suspected everyone at one point or another. QueenSidhe (7:45:45 PM): Done. :-) Olle878 (7:45:45 PM): I'm still confused, I thought the bomb that blew up was an old one, not an atomic one. What did I miss? QueenSidhe (7:46:01 PM): I didn't suspect either, but going back and rereading parts, there were some obvious hints Olle878 (7:47:14 PM): ARe the other books mysteries within a game? Or just getting through the game? KWM01 (7:47:41 PM): all mysteries QueenSidhe (7:48:54 PM): Hmm. Which part of the book did you like better? The mystery or the rpg? Z0rPr1me (7:48:54 PM): mysteries and a game ? Z0rPr1me (7:49:00 PM): RPG KWM01 (7:49:11 PM): yes Z0rPr1me (7:49:13 PM): I dont care very much for mysteries... or maybe i do but dont know it rofl QueenSidhe (7:49:22 PM): I actually think the mystery was just a kind of filler. Z0rPr1me (7:49:50 PM): who wrote the majority of the book ? Niven or Barnes KWM01 (7:50:15 PM): you'll like the third on the best, not much mystery lots of RPG action. QueenSidhe (7:50:39 PM): I heard Tony becomes a Game master in that book, :-) Z0rPr1me (7:50:45 PM): heh KWM01 (7:50:47 PM): yup Z0rPr1me (7:50:49 PM): SPOILER ALERT! Z0rPr1me (7:50:51 PM): :-) KWM01 (7:51:03 PM): he's in the second book too KWM01 (7:51:54 PM): His girlfriend is back in the third one too QueenSidhe (7:52:01 PM): Cool. I hope some of those people in the rpg group pops up again KWM01 (7:52:25 PM): not in the second Z0rPr1me (7:53:15 PM): Dark thief... Z0rPr1me (7:53:20 PM): not enough of him! KWM01 (7:54:02 PM): never to be seen again KWM01 (7:54:23 PM): which charector type did you like the most KWM01 (7:54:32 PM): ? Z0rPr1me (7:54:45 PM): Griff Z0rPr1me (7:55:09 PM): I didnt like Chester very much KWM01 (7:55:32 PM): He was a thief in the game right? QueenSidhe (7:55:37 PM): I don't think they made Chester to be a very likable character QueenSidhe (7:55:55 PM): Yes, griff was a thief QueenSidhe (7:56:14 PM): Too arrogant, or something KWM01 (7:56:53 PM): Griff came off more as a warrior QueenSidhe (7:57:05 PM): Or maybe just too focused on winning the game. QueenSidhe (7:58:27 PM): Yeah. You can picture Griff with a sword in his hand. Z0rPr1me (7:59:46 PM): heh KWM01 (7:59:48 PM): If the park was real, would you pay what sounded like a couple thousand dollars to go? Z0rPr1me (8:00:09 PM): I would but I ain't rich enough KWM01 (8:00:20 PM): whois? Z0rPr1me (8:00:26 PM): hehe Z0rPr1me (8:00:29 PM): rich people! Z0rPr1me (8:01:50 PM): I gues there would be professional gamer... who would makes tons of money QueenSidhe (8:02:08 PM): I wouldn't think so. QueenSidhe (8:02:23 PM): I still can't get my mind wrapped around the fact that gaming would be that big. Z0rPr1me (8:02:24 PM): Did they mentionned if the player got some part of the profit the sell of the books and movie QueenSidhe (8:02:39 PM): That you'd have an entire amusement park with that much tech and expenses. KWM01 (8:02:40 PM): love to be one of those. get paid to play.:-) Z0rPr1me (8:02:47 PM): There is already a professional gamers league Olle878 (8:03:36 PM): Sounded like they saved up a long time to get to go, not to mention being on a waiting list. Captive audience. KWM01 (8:03:45 PM): The second and third book show the other used for the tech developed at the park. Olle878 (8:04:00 PM): On Enterprise holodecks. LOL KWM01 (8:04:18 PM): :-) QueenSidhe (8:04:48 PM): But Dream park seemed to be composed of 50% reality and 50% holograms. QueenSidhe (8:04:58 PM): Like when S.J. was talking about the trees. Olle878 (8:05:04 PM): Zor, I don't think the players rec'd profit, but the creator did. Z0rPr1me (8:05:05 PM): yeah this book reminded me of a couple of episode from ST-TNG Z0rPr1me (8:05:21 PM): Maybe the Lore Master got some too? Olle878 (8:05:31 PM): ?? Olle878 (8:05:40 PM): Don't see why he'd have a claim. But maybe. QueenSidhe (8:05:46 PM): The players got points. What they did with the points, I don't know. KWM01 (8:05:49 PM): S.J. in the third book too. Z0rPr1me (8:05:49 PM): Lore Master received some cash probably QueenSidhe (8:06:02 PM): But all the top people got some money. Z0rPr1me (8:06:04 PM): not that cash is important to me :-) but I was wondering :-) LOL QueenSidhe (8:06:13 PM): I mean they'd already signed off book and movie rights! Olle878 (8:06:35 PM): seeing a role for yourself Zor? Z0rPr1me (8:06:42 PM): SJ mentionned that getting enough points to become a game master KWM01 (8:06:43 PM): The points count toward becoming a Loremaster Z0rPr1me (8:06:59 PM): Olle, I would have made a perfect Tony Z0rPr1me (8:07:02 PM): LOL Olle878 (8:07:02 PM): the fun of running the group Olle878 (8:07:04 PM): lol QueenSidhe (8:07:55 PM): Probably some kind of paladin for me. I like magic but I'd also want to be able to use weapons. Not hide out under a hut like the clerics KWM01 (8:08:34 PM): engineer/thief for me. I like tech too much.:-) Z0rPr1me (8:08:58 PM): Thief for me QueenSidhe (8:09:19 PM): What about you, Olle? Olle878 (8:10:31 PM): hmmm Olle878 (8:11:06 PM): Can I try them all? QueenSidhe (8:11:11 PM): lol QueenSidhe (8:11:14 PM): Sure! KWM01 (8:11:19 PM): :-D Olle878 (8:11:20 PM): my ranking would be low but it'd be fun to find out where I shine Z0rPr1me (8:11:27 PM): lol Olle878 (8:11:30 PM): lol KWM01 (8:11:51 PM): gotta go, enterprise is on.
