um, actually they didn't.
that was the jewish sanhedrin that jesus was lead before.
they found him guilty of a charge of calling himself the son of
god, therefore guilty of blasphemy.
they turned him in to the roman officials, who found him guilty
of no crime.
at this point, the roman official in charge of his trial, Pontious
Pilot, brought out two prisoners, since it was his tradition to
release a prisoner at the jewish festival of passover.
the public demanded that jesus be crucified and barabas, a
revolutionary, be released.
the christians did not yet exist as a group. they did not organize
until after pentecost, quite some time after the death of jesus.

I am just sending this letter to announce my innactivity on the Doom Editing
list, due to the fact that our computer has the virus, MONKEY_A, and I have
to delet DOOM2 :(
My DOOM2 disks got destroyed by my dad (god damn it, they were write
protected!) because he thought they might be affected.
so if anybody wants to help me purchase DOOM2 again, contribute to the Buy
Evan Digby a new DOOM2 fund send 5 dollars, cheque, or money order (yeah
right as if anybody will send me mony!?) to:
Evan Digby
1330 Cheal.plc
Cobble Hill, B.C
V0R 1L0
P.S sending me more would be fine!!!
P.P.S the part about the "buy Evan Digby Doom2 fund" was a joke, but sending
mony would still be O.K because I still have to delet DOOM2 :(

*any* discussion is not only off topic, but a waste of time.

Yes, and *that* game's value didn't increase any for me when it did. ;)

Alright, I'll jump straight to the point here: There are *no* `brightness
increment' values. That value from 0-255 controls how severely the
light-diminishing is applied. Whether the intermediate values are taken
into account is probably not important, since a player isn't likely to be
taking note of these things anyway...

Shhhh! Don't even tempt the Billy-Graham-would-be's! ;)

No matter how many million copies they've sold, there are still millions
still using DOS, so yeah go for the new version cos i'm not changing

Besides, my mate has Win95 on his but spends more time in DOS mode than
Windows :)

Subject: Fun with Hexen
Allo everybody.
I've recently been playing with HETH (finally realized what the TH means)
having fun with various objects in the game. (ps. I've noticed that on
level one, it displays the Maulotaur as a Book. How do I fix it?)
Did you realize that if you place objects within 24 units of one another,
they become "jammed". Read: floating pots. In fact, in my level right now
I have a pretty pot staircase and a pot bridge, both can be destroyed,
leading to harder routes to the items. Gonna be kewl.
However, that's not why I'm getting your attention.
I was wondering if Hexen still has the "wind" effect that Heretic had; the
non-floor scrolling item-and-player pushing sector types. You see, there's
this bridge over a deep pit, and... you get the picture. So, if anyone finds
this info, post it here or email me directly. Whatever.

Wow! With all the changes to stay current state-of-the art...looks like Quake
(or what it will be called) will never come out. Where do you draw the line
and call it finished?

Yet another DCK user says "I will bow down and beg for another version of
DCK! YES!
I have a copy of Windows 95 but have been afraid to install it. I have heard
bad things from friends and from magazines! I bet it will be a year before 95
is the standard if then.
