An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Ad avis (or Adavis) is probably one of the most unique personalities if not the one with the most personality in Hoyle 3. He speaks with honeyed words, often praising his opponent (or rather flattering them), and remaining fairly calm even when he loses and even praising the player's successes. But has a tendency to show arrogance when he wins (and enjoys 'victory' and 'triumph'), but is gracious when he loses. But 'nobly' grants the player another chance to win, or next time will 'allow you to win'.

  • Ad avis (or Adavis) is probably one of the most unique personalities if not the one with the most personality in Hoyle 3. He speaks with honeyed words, often praising his opponent (or rather flattering them), and remaining fairly calm even when he loses and even praising the player's successes. But has a tendency to show arrogance when he wins (and enjoys 'victory' and 'triumph'), but is gracious when he loses. But 'nobly' grants the player another chance to win, or next time will 'allow you to win'. Like many of the villains shows interest in his appearance when crowned king in checkers, showing a bit of vanity perhaps (however, he remains calm, and doesn't show the same level of obsession as some of the other characters, hiding the fact that he enjoys ruling over others). However, he also praises players who are crowned as well (were many of the other villains show indifference or disgust). Perhaps showing flattery to the player, as he did to become a vizier in the Emir's court. He has a tendency to call his opponent 'effendi' (friend) and this is used enough to be considered his catchphrase, and sometimes 'noble one'. He also refers to the player as 'worthy one' or 'worthy opponent' and sometimes calling himself 'unworthy' when he loses. He even once calls his opponent 'excellency'. Out of all the players he is one of the few that gives a look into belief systems or culture he originates from. He makes reference to Allah and the Prophet appearing to believe in them (all through this is probably a ruse). He mentions how Allah favors or smiles upon his success for example. He also believes in fortune or luck driving the success of himself or the player. At least once referring to the player as 'lucky one' or some variation. Other than his regular talk animation, Adavis appears to be a pre-QFG2 version of the character, as he is very much alive. His eyes widen when he smiles. He has a hearty laught, and stern grimace.
