    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Let me explain English to you since it is clearly not your first language. Your words that I quote in my .sig are overtly racist because the treat "Blacks" and "Whites" as a class based on their race. Stereotyping a class of persons based on race, which you did, is what is known in the real...

    Lol. Sucks that your own words show you to be a closet racist, doesn't it?

    The Free Exercise Clause says otherwise. You got a problem with it? Move to another country.

    Your racist statement speaks for itself and the fact that you are trying so hard to walk it back shows that you know it's racist Apparently you are quite happy with thought police.

    K. You're insane. Not only is it racist, but your statement is also homophobic, Christophobic and Islamophobic. /thread

    Yeah. No. That's not how reality works. No. Because its inaccurate. Citation provided. There absolutely is. I get that you only argue by ignoring reality and pretending that something is as you need it to be to make a point but that just shows that you're too retarded to come up with...

    I take it then, that you agree with hodj that we're all secret racists who want to bring back Jim Crow?

    Please provide a link to where I said this - since you can't, let me ask you do you usually try to win arguments by falsely attributing statements to the folks you're arguing with? Try citing Wikipedia in a law journal in you'll get laughed at. This is just a deflection attempt to avoid the fact...

    Theism is A. A-theism is Not A. And that right there is your tautology. And that's another tautology. You can describe your belief that there is no God as a lack of belief in God, but it's still a belief. Belief: N. Confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    No. I'd go with very little point debating with you because you think a tautology is proof. In other words you're an idiot. And that these analogies have nothing to do with anything. God isn't a car. Belief isn't a tangible thing. The proper analogy is when all you ever see are White Swans so...

    1. We're clearly debating this now. 2. Try reading the actual decision sometime instead of Wikipedia. 3. You are welcome to defend the logic of the McClung decision by explaining to the world how BBQ sandwiches sold from a single location affect Interstate Commerce. Good luck. You seem...

    I could live with extended time b/n unlocks from Classic to PoP, but extended times for expansions after PoP is pure, unfiltered, retardation.

    A little background: Generally referred to as Ollie's BBQ case when it comes up in ConLaw in part because there are a bunch of Katzenbach cass (Katzenbach was LBJ's AG who brought a bunch of CRA of 1964 Cases) The CRA of 1964 was passed under Congress' power to regulate Interstate Commerce...

    1. Atheism is a religion. 2. No it's all the same fucking thing: this is just the start of what one hopes is a whole slew of bills restoring our First Amendment rights of (dis)Association that liberal fuckswads want to trample on because they get hardons at the thought of controlling other...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    First Amendment right of Association *sigh* which contrary to certain USSC idiotic "free love" opinions during the 60's trumps the Commerce Clause. Because we shouldn't force Jewish Delis to serve Bacon to Nazis nor should we force Gay Bakers to bake cakes for Westboro Baptist Church weddings.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    He wasn't fired for the fight - the fight was an excuse for the BBC. He was fired because the BBC is pretty far left and Clarkson isn't. If Clarkson's politics were hard left the BBC wouldn't give a fuck if he shot someone.

    And what happens? Without my wisdom to guide one, one might end up posting idiotic shit like this: Because you would totally store info about your mana pool on the client and not the server? Oh wait, you wouldn't do that at all unless you were a complete moron. That information would reside...

    I won't defend the non-implementation in a mostly non-existent game (Pantheon) but with respect to colored mana in RPGS generally, you have no idea what you're talking about. Go play a couple hundred games of Realmspeak and get back to me. Properly done it creates an interesting dynamic...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Properly, colored mana is a class mechanic and class mechanics and combat need to be developed simultaneously before you do anything else... so yeah, needs to be first thing worked on.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Colored Mana works great in an RPG: the single best RPG boardgame's (Magic Realm) mana system is color based. The most well known colored mana system is probably MTG - but that's not a very good implementation of colored mana: in a game of MTG you end up with either too little mana early or...

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    Let's not since that's not an MMO. I'm well aware of your feeling on roles, and we couldn't disagree more. Rules (aka limits) are what make for interesting games: roles in an MMO are the set of rules (aka limits) for playing a character - the fun part is figuring out those limits and doing...

    Thread: Blizzard Conducted A WoW Former Player Study. Here Are the Questions Asked

    The problem isn't the rate of content creation: the problem is that the every expansion guts the previous expansions content and achievements. Which means that all the energy you spent getting that purple item in Vanilla or TBC or X is absolutely pointless as soon as TBC or WotlK or X+1...

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    It's a different and worse problem for skill (buffet) systems. In a class system one or more classes can feel useless for a particular period but that's fixable without creating a new flavor of the month in theory, if not always in practice. In buffet systems you will always create a new...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    That's just bad reporting. The quote they cite and you cited earlier says nothing about renewing or not renewing the contract and everything about shutting down the company. Now whether something was said in a private call between the two who knows - but the reporter doesn't cite the call, they...

    Pretty sure that's about their decision to end their business not terminate their relationship with SOE.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I don't recall SB ever saying that. They said they were the ones who decided to shutdown SB and that had nothing to do with SOE/Daybreak. I thought it was understood that SOE/Daybreak ended the SB relationship.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I have no idea what AI goal Daybreak is shooting for these days. Are these goals listed somewhere? With respect to Storybricks: the basic concept seemed pretty simple in concept, no clue as to execution. 1. Instead of faction with groups, you have faction (let's call it "standing" to...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Eh. That's fine - my main point was directed to the guys who couldn't accept that SB could have found funding to buy SOE. With respect to the technology, I too would have liked to seen a better demonstration of the technology than what I've seen (which is most of the old SB videos).

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Hard to say about the timing. I don't know, but I suspect that Smed fucked SB over with the classic: hey tech guys work for us for a year or two at a convict labor rate and if we like your stuff I'll get Sony to buy your tiny company for millions, honest. I suspect that SB saw the fuckup that...

    Can't be emphasized enough. Brad should stick to ideas/design and leave management to someone else. If he ever did that with Pantheon, I'd be far more optimistic of its chances.
