Ok, point for you. Should I elaborate on how I absolutely HATE people trying to shape other's actions to fit themselves without allowing that these persona might not be amused with that, next time?

I felt like doing it, it was not against the rules and I could do it. Hence my justification.

Maybe we should just ask Kelandon. He made the scenario, he created Phaedra, so gets to say why she is the way she is. Disputing the author's statement would be, um, stupid?

On the subject of stupidty, anyone trying desperately to fit in somewhere so s/he does things just because others want her/him to, is IMO of questionable mental health. I agree with silver harloe here.

As for that "because Jeff did it" is an insufficient excuse, I want to add that it makes a story cohesive if it complies with the universe it is placed in.

I think that TM is just angry at how the world, in general, works.

Very few women (or men, but less so) understand why they dress like they do. Most things people do are based on mimicking others. Most of us dress as to not stand out. I, personally, if I were female, would feel stupid wearing something out-of-fasion-for-a-century on a beach instead of something modern, no matter how revealing.

And I do not care in the slightest whether you are insecure, TM. You are not the only one who has not gotten 'laid', but you do not hear me complain. Damnit, getting laid in my case would need throwing away cash or compromising my moral and intellectual principles. But you insist basing your thesis on the fact that you-are-this, you-are-that.

This is not to say that I totally disagree with you. At least I agree that it would make my life easier if people were less concerned with how they look. BUT IT IS NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS! The world is a cruel, unfair place and you are getting NOWHERE whining.

Why does the world work this way, you ask? Because the world is the people that inhabit it. They are stupid, illogical, ignorant and so on. But they know on instinct that they need:
a. to survive,
b. to reproduce.
They strive to do just that. And if wearing bikinis by women who want, or don't want, to reproduce, who am I to judge? Who are you?

Another thing, although you might question it, everything is subjective. Even the most rudimentary of concepts can be viewed as good or bad, depending on whe is talking. Some might mean mental illness, that concept is also subjective.

This raises the question whether people should judge other people. I generally tend to agree, but also think this judgement is no be kept to thyself. Would you like to be considered stupid or evil by someone who is using his own holier-than-thine beliefs? Maybe the women you are so tirelessly trying to defend are less-than-happy with your judgement of them.

And have you considered if the said women WANT to be defended? Maybe they don't, and I'm sticking to that until you produce a written permission to be their defendant.

I'm also thinking that you are in a way greedy for a non-capitalist. Think about it, you obviously want the world to change for the better for you, as in allowing you a chance at getting laid, while disregarding all those who might be worse off with the change.

And, as I have heard or read in numerous instances, you do not look for a woman with brains (no offense, ladies), you do not go to the beach or pub. You go to a library.

In conclusion, this how the world works and noone of us is in any position to change it. But we can get to know how it does and then we will be better off, as with the proverbial 'Knowing is half the battle'. The other half is getting off your ass and doing something with that knowledge.

PS: I believe this topic was about an easter egg someone found in a scenario not the discussion of whether women have the right to dress as they wish.

EDIT: Typo.

What about that

I might have gotten that quoted wrongly, Commander Terrance has this in his dialogue. What does that mean? How is that used?

Thank You very much.
Some alpinists have answered that already.

- Why did you climb that mountain?
- ??? Because it was there, dummy!

So:

- Why did require people to vote before seeing results on your poll?

My signature is from the movie "Virus", or something like that, I don't know if they translated the title correctly. It's something the Virus tells the heroes. Since I have conservative views, I don't change my signature all that often. Besides, any joke, however bad it might be, gets funny if repeated often enough.

Also there is a link to a site I have found to be very annoying to certain people... :)

You know, there is an old Polish proverb :

Nice. Six people so far... I'm assuming half of those won't get finished so we have three potential scenarios. Power to the creators!

EDIT: Not to mention some other gains on my part through the increased viewing of my posts... :D

The Bible was written by people. I don't care what a 2000+ year old text wants me to believe or do. These people had no idea of the modern world so it's best to ignore them. :P

REALLY.

I don't care if something is BAD or AWFULBAD. You guys say that when someone wants to fight a lot of boring monsters they make a scenario themselves. WRONG! The point is I DIDIN'T waste 15 minutes making a boring scenario -- someone else wasted his/her time. That means I win anyhow.

Also -- I want to see more scenarios - however bad it might be, it might have a few things that I do worse, so I might learn from it.
