ORIAS_OBDERHODE'S PROFILE

I wouldn't encourage you to start over. You'll lose Aldain's Taunt skill, and that is really all. Taunt is nice and all, but you can learn Aggravate from Dharma Temple (same skill, but much better) at the same time.

The only other thing would be if you made it to Onyu in present time, if you warp to it, walk out of the town and walk back in. Then everything should be good. :)

Sure, why not! I'd categorize myself as more of a producer.

1. A game developed by a hobbyist in their spare time.
2. To promote what they've been working on and to get advice/help!
3. Lack of activity on the forums, discouragement, moving on to a different activity.
4. I take this to mean benefits of being active in a forum? Benefits: The more active you are in a community the more people will take notice of what you've done / be willing to help. Also I think I lot of people are willing to share knowledge that they have with others.
Limitations: Well, as a new member of the community, you almost have to build a sort of "rep". People will help you, but are less likely if all you do is pose random questions every now and then (that you probably could find the answer to easily).
I probably misinterpreted the question, if I did, I think my answer for #2/#3 are close enough.
5.
Privacy & Anonymity - I do think that some people act differently on the internet than they do in person. In a real scenario, and I'm generalizing here, people are more likely to be concerned with the outcome/how they look in a certain situation. For example, if someone asked you for help on something you consider easy, you probably wouldn't say "You're stupid! Read some more!" because not only would it come across as mean, but it could make you look bad. When it is unlikely that someone will know you, you may put up a persona that doesn't really reflect how you'd be in real life. Now granted, I think plenty of people behave how they would in all aspects of life, me being one of them.
Intellectual Property - I don't think it is probable to expect any forum to police the actions of all members in regard to intellectual property law. In regards to indie game development, I personally don't think it is a big deal as long as you give credit.
People and Machines - I have no opinion on this topic and how it relates to an indie game development forum.
Digital Citizenship - I have no opinion on this topic and how it relates to an indie game development forum.

I know I could have written a more scholarly response to those questions / taken more time to get my thoughts together, but I hope this will suffice.

Bane Ring is Black Gem + Brass Ring, you can get both mats in Lidenburg. :)

The arena thing is a little perplexing, so you've finished the S class for both? As for honesty/dishonesty, it is possible to not be able to get it. To get Whiteking/Servant you needed only 7 points whereas for the achievement you need 9. To get 9 doesn't require perfection, but it can be missed.

I'd be happy to analyze your file for you/fix the arena thing if something is wrong. I've never had it happen to me, but there could be a bug/glitch there!

Looks great! I'll keep my eye on this one! (Animated enemies sound really cool)!

Wow, I have never seen that before! I can't even imagine what happened. Both vivify and church raises are rpgmaker default functions... very strange!

If you'd like me to alter your file, I think I can fix it. Just PM me your file.
