I think one reason why CoMI seems to have such an abrupt ending is that
a lot of stuff was cut from it at the last minute. There was, for
instance, supposed to have been a whole cutscene of Elaine overpowering
her undead guards and rewiring the monkey-coaster. As it is, it just
sort of happens off screen, and we never even find out how they get off
Monkey Island. That just sort of happens too. A little hectic dash
through the burning theme-park wouldn't have come amiss, I daresay.

Yeah, you have a point. I was a bit startled that this was really the
end...??

But also, since I knew that there would be six parts, and the second one
was so complex, I had been looking forward to far more hours of play...
then it turned out that four of these six parts are short ones. I always
get a little melancholic when a fun adventure game like that is ended,
and it just happened too soon this time... :-/ but then again I have
been sick this week (no, really!!) and have had five full days to play
it...

Wouldn't it be fun to control Elaine as she overpowers her undead guards
etc. in the end... We really should get the chance to control Elaine
some day.

Okay, you do realise that posting to Aglami was the worst mistake of your
life, don't you? I still remember making the same mistake, many years ago,
and just look at me! I am a pirate now! ARRR!!!

Also, what the monkey is that smurf doing in your post? I did not even
know such things were possible in the almighty usenet.

Anyway, err...yes...Trials! Let the ceremony begin!

*lights candle and goes off into the basement to find the Great Aglami
Trials Book*

Ah, here we have it. Lemme find a nice Trial for you to start with:

1. Find the raspberry jam, eat it all and toss a caber.

ARRR!!

Ah, my x-face. I like it - at least I got used to it somehow. I put it
in my newsreader at a time where I played a lot more SmurfQuest than I
do nowadays (which is clearly not enough).

Ah, that would be Ligonier Highland Games it seems. I will resarch
that tomorrow - I should get well rested before doing trials.

BREIN is a fascist organization that uses illegal search methods to
solve a problem that is unsolvable.

Anyway, how come I am paying extra money for cd-writables because I
would surely use them for burning illegal songs on them and then next
be condemned for actually burning illegal songs on those cd-writables?
I mean, they are even talking about charging more money for big
harddrives, because surely the only reason you would buy a big
harddrives is to store illegal songs on them... (?)

Hmm...I would rather have a big harddrive for editing stuff recorded with
a digital video camera, now that requires a lot of hard disk space! And
all of my photos also eat up several GBs.

*curses his 30 GB laptop*

Speaking about hard disks, I would like to have one of these:

Hooray! Though, I do agree that downloading music and videos is in fact
illegal, so I would recommend that only people with jobs do pay for
everything and that poor students such as myself are allowed to download
it.

as they could be used for pirating music. Well, it was *cameras*!

Mine is too - it is still developed though.

Ah, roleplaying. I played a lot of that once, nowadays I don't play as
much.

In SmurfQuest you play smurfs instead of elves/wookies/humans/etc. I
don't think the rules were ever translated to english, so they are
available in danish only.

I might get bored enough to do the translation one day. Then again, I
might not.

Still those Games have both caber toss and raspberry jam; the
raspberry jam is put in cakes apparently.

Not mine! It reached perfection in 1999, the Year of the Pontiac.

Danish...why are there so many Danish people drawn towards Aglami? Kasper,
Sean, Parasite, Jungo, etc. and now a new one.
