Hoping to make your life's design a bit more dynamic!

Hey world, we're about to rocket off with SS-II. Draken has passed it back to me. I have been assembling the hundreds of blocks that Shiva has translated and/or refined, and that Draken has formatted and edited. I must say I'm truly overwhelmed by how quickly this project has accelerated to a V0.99 Alpha!

I need to communicate a couple of minor loose ends with the team now.

Drakee, unless I missed or lost something, the following blocks were not included in your edited files. I went back through Shiva's e-mail communications and found all of these missing blocks except one, Block_176.txt. I added these to the insertion directory in their raw forms, but if you have them formatted, send them on. I can easily update them, of course.

Block_163.txt
Block_164.txt
Block_165.txt
Block_166.txt
Block_167.txt
Block_175.txt
Block_180.txt
Block_181.txt
Block_182.txt
Block_183.txt
Block_184.txt
Block_185.txt
Block_186.txt
Block_187.txt
Block_188.txt

As for the one I'm missing, Block_176.txt, if no one has it, it's tiny - just four strings:

What we do think about this one? I'll see about trying to pick things up a bit.

Our Silva Saga beyond infinity,
Zool forever locked away,
His eyes consumed by hostility,
And the four towers sway!

Btw, WB, I approve of the edit. Nice teamwork there.

And I like what your muse is creating in this latest stanza. BTW, I'm working in Arkasas Town today, so I have quite a ways to go before I reach the verses. Nevertheless, when you get something worked up, go ahead and fire it over. This may take a bit of time, but I believe the rhyme, where appropriate, will add tremendous charm to this game.

Ah, we changed the spelling to Zuhl. I believe that input came from Aishsha.

Sorry bout those missing files! (e-mail sent)
I was also missing block_176... It must have slipped through Shiva's fingers

I'll sent it over to him - just four strings... I have the others in there now. Byte counts look pretty good.

Here's two more.

Zolde, in his den of vileness,
Shadowed from the light,
The conqueror of darkness,
That drives away the night.

Brave Kyral, Warrior of Light,
His finest hour at hand,
The darkness did he smite,
And once more saved our land.

Thanks! I'll start plugging these into Block 129.

BTW, here's another bard work...
I'm not necessarily saying that all of the poetry and lyrics must be set to rhyme.
But here it is anyway - just to read over for now.

Block 102

Three more and seven left to do.

In a radiance of sunshine,
Reflecting hope for all,
Our Hero walked a deadly line,
Not afraid to stand tall.

But Zolde lies in wait,
Hell spawn of dark god Zuhl,
Dirty rat born only to hate,
Unleashing golem and ghoul.

The power of Zolde is vile,
Venom from his flagon,
Ready to attack with a smile,
Exceeding Brother Ragon!

Pasted in... Thanks!

Here is a quick translation of that small block if you need.
