The Shawshank Redemption philosophy - for ALFAns

Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'.

- Don't make a post, make an NPC
- Don't state an opinion, write a plot
- Don't air dirty laundry, squish bugs
- Don't poke fun at someone, design armor
- Don't read the forums, hit the toolset

Please add your own.

Remember why we're here. I'm not done with ALFA by a long shot, and we need a dose of fundamentals if we're to push through this current malaise.

I approve. I consider it the Elvis philosophy though.

"A little less conversation, a little more action.
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark"

And remember, there's no way out except through a pipe full of you-know-what! (I should point out I've not seen the film and I think that's what happens

)

Sure, here is what I have to add. These are some screenshots of the stuff I just finished making for Baldurs Gate.

An open air temple to Lathander inside BG city.

Also the exterior for the temple to umberlee.

I made a temple to umberlee for the moonsea too but forgot to take screenshots of it before sending it off.

Ill add more when i finish the chapel of Auril and another temple to Gond im also working on. Hopefully a few other builders will join me here and show some of what they are building for ALFA.

"I got yer goddamn shawshank right here!"

PS- im a bumbler sometimes.. i hope those screenshots work.

I wish I could tell you that Indio fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but ALFA is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew.

I am sorely tempted to quote about 3/4 of the movies script right now.

Must...resist...urge.

Don't plot for the big win, create an outline for a static quest.
