I think all these theories are pretty valid sounding, except raven1's, and that doesn’t matter because he/she/it is always wrong. heheh, a kakuna. |

I think that a si is like what Armada said: a constantly changing item. Just that the si will continuously grow into different shapes and then a part of it will detach from the main one, making it completely different from what it was before.

Have you peeps heard the story of the si? If you haven't, read, it's quite funny. QUOTE (Thomas): If you are interested in how it got into the game, here we go: Quite a number of years ago (that must have been around 1985 or so) I played a lot of AD&D with a friend. We had two characters, dwarven fighter/thieves of LN alignment named Gorko Galgenstrick and Groron Garman respectively, who lived through many many adventures. One day my friend looked at the character sheet of his character, Groron Garman, and discovered garbled writing in his list of normal items stating that he owned a "Si". We had no idea what that could be and how it got there and we were pretty puzzled but left it that way, making occasional comments about Groron's mighty artifact, the Si. Months later my friend again was revising the list of normal items his character lugged around and noticed the word "Si" in a second place on the equipment list. Now we were really puzzled and declared this item to be an artifact with unknown powers. The 'Si' in ADOM is just a kind of insider joke on my behalf to celebrate those great old days :-) |

I think of it as a little semi-solid melting purple thing. My base is a weapon in an old 3d shooter "Ken's Labirinyth." Sorta like the jelly bomb, except purpler. Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life. |

This is off topic, but TongHoAnh, the quote in your sig isnt unknown. " She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doin' She pushed me in the pool At our last school reunion She laughs at my dreams But I dream about her laughter Strange as it seems She's the one I'm after Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else She's a mystery She's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for" is that possibly where its from? |

Off topic below: Lord, I dont know anything about the song :) I heard one dude babbling something about his ex-gf in a mmorpg, one of which is my sig. I fell in love with it immediately and if I could remember his nick, I'd have put him as the author >.< Thanks for the nice song.

Nice imagination. Especially since it's a gray "[" in the game. Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life. |

I always kind of imagined it as being something like a crumpled up ball of aluminum foil almost, except a sold ball like mass with pointy bits |

Actually, it looks more like this... spoiler space... ] '[' is armor, I believe. :P But yeah, what I've always imagined the si as is... a dark-greyish cube, or box that can't be opened. Perfectly equilateral all the way around, and indestructible. Molach: "I like to have 200+ hp and over 5 good healin potions when I do [the fire] temple. AND some way of killing the Wyrm" Morio: "Some way of killing the worm is recommended, yes :D" |

Its part of a giant jigsaw, and if you complete it, you get the (non-existant) scroll of omnipotence :) *<< Words go here >>* [Edited 1 time, last edit on 11/19/2005 at 04:51 (GMT -5) by *Chaos Muffin*] |

All you need to get a scroll of omnipotence is a twisted mind, so you can properly mess up reading a certain scroll label. To me, a si looks like... Um... A thing you can sell and get money for. And which replicates quickly. An adamantium hamster, maybe. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

In my head it looks like one of those Terry Pratchett Dwarf bakegoods. And it's a round cake. Milla Talyyn, the immortal that writes things down. |

For some reason, I always see it as an three-dimensional iron comma with a tail that can be gripped. THat, or a cylander. |

This is the only forum I know where you can start a thread and find it on the front page a year and a half later. Speaking of bumping old threads, did I coin the term "thread necromancy"? I remember using it on these forums, ages and ages ago, before I'd seen anyone else say it. And now I see other people here use it occasionally. The following is a real Adom message: The homunculus hits you. You suddenly fall asleep! Do you want to continue to read the spellbook of Calm Monster? [y/N] |

I always thought of it as a round, black, rune-covered stone, same width as but a bit longer than a fist. |

I've always seen the Si as a quite rugged rectangular grey metal bar. Probably because I've used it for many different things, killing corrosive monsters, throwing it at karmic lizards, etc. As opposed to others thinking it is useless I see it as a bar usefull to just about anything which just seem to have replicated everytime you check your equipment. |

I see the si as the blobs in a lavalamp |

I see the Si as an 'S' shaped hard-metal object, about 1 meter in length with a perfectly smooth, polished surface. It is pointed in both ends, not unlike a butcher ess. All your base are belong to us. |

nevered Registered user Last page view: 6113 days, 22 hours, 43 minutes and 12 seconds ago. |
i see it as sort of a metal ball with little spikes sticking out of it. at the end of each is a twisted bit of metal. each time you look at it, all the bits of metal have changed shape, though the entire thing always stays the same. holding it in your hand and turning it around, you will see new shapes no matter how long you look at it, and it's impossible to remember what the old shapes looked like. |

I see si as yellow (-shaped object. Lke banana, but with metal properties. |

Red October Unregistered user |
I've always envisioned a sort of maybe 30" piece of metal two-by-four. Able to be used as a weapon, but not a great one, since it's handy for bashing things like oozes and rust monsters since it is indestructible. Nothing special except whenever you look for it you happen to have a few more. |

I like to conceptualise it the same way as quarks. Those new sis in my backpack are just real imaginary particles. Or something. |

I've totally always pictured the si as an ankh. Don't ask why, I have no clue. |
