By posting about personal issues on a public forum Alex implicitly invites comment. TM's response to Alex's post was just as much an expression of his own feelings as was Alex's post itself; why is the one expression any more or less valid than the other?
It looked to me like Alex just wanted to be able to tell his feelings to somebody, which is a lot easier to do at an anonymous message board in a post burried deep inside a thread on a different topic, than in a personal conversation. If he wanted to start a discussion on political implications of his beliefs, he would have done it in a separate thread. There is a time and place for political discussion and there is a time and place for just letting the subject drop if you have nothing nice to say.

Perhaps all Nethergate fans are so shocked by seeing a new post on this forum, the we still haven't recovered sufficiently to reply.

Or perhaps we are afraid that your post is just an evil plot of RW cult to expand its corrupting influence beyond the borders of its own board into the virgin lands of Nethergate and SubTerra. (This looks especially suspicious considering that White Shock Troops have recently been spotted conducting reconnasance in SubTerra board.)

You could still reconsile the two opinions: Good things you have to work for; bad things are free. :)

The difference between 4 and 5 is that 4 is passive, while 5 is active. To highlight it even more, here is another variation on 5: Instead of 1 fat man, there is a large number of people walking along the bridge and you can push any of them that you want. I am guessing even fewer people would push a person in this case, because they'd have even more active choice.

As somebody said before "in #4, the man is already on the rails, in #5, you are the one who placed him there."

1) What is your gender?
Male

2) How religious would you say that you are: Not at all, somewhat, or very?
very little

3) Are you vegetarian or vegan?
no

4) A trolley is running out of control down a track. In its path are 5 people who have been tied to the track. Fortunately, you can flip a switch that will lead the trolley down a different track. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch?
Depends on who the one person is and who the five people are. If all are complete strangers, then yes.

5) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by dropping a heavy weight in front of it. As it happens, there is a very fat man next to you - your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you proceed?
No. (It still somewhat depends on the identity of the 5 people and the 1 person, but if I wanted to save the 5 badly enough, I'd be more likely to jump down myself, since the weight doesn't really matter: all you need is a body to derail the tram.)

6) As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people, all children under 10. You can divert its path by flipping a switch, but if you do, the trolley will continue down an alternate track towards five senior citizens. Do you flip the switch?
Yes, unless old people are my relatives, or somebody else I know. (If both children and old people are my relatives, I still flip the switch.)

I usually use made up names.

Omri - fighter - random name
Shhhhssss (or some similar serpentile sound) - slith fighter
Mrrrurrrr - nephil figher - sounds like cat's "speech"
Veziv - mage - evil counterpart to Zeviz
Zeviz - mage/priest - a madeup name that I use everywhere
Niza - priest - another variation on the Zeviz/Veziv theme (a character I've also used in some RPs)

Ash, could you e-mail it to me. (zeviz1@yahoo.com)

Aran, so in a few months we could end up with half of our active threads being dedicated to posting statistics? :)

Ephesos, the thread was in the middle of page 1, so that's not much of a revival. :P If the threads in the middle of page 1 are too old to post in, we might be having [in]activity problems.

Most editors are just built into the game. You don't have to modify any scripts yourself. All you do is download the editor and replace existing file with the one you've downloaded. Then you open the game and read the sign or book that has the editor in it.

Just to clarify, this forum's rules don't allow "double-posting" (replying to your own post). You can do it in some rare cases, but it's safer to just use "Edit" button that appears next to each of your posts, instead of "Reply" button.

As for topic revival, there is no exact rule, but you shouldn't post in topics that are several weeks old unless you have something very important to add. If you have a new question, it's better to start a new topic about it.

is levelling creations really useful? in Geneforge Series

Don't know if the question is still relevant, but if it is:

Blueman's point is the main reason to keep your creations alive longer. The extra stats creatures gain from levelling up (with no extra essence investment) compensate for the difference between them and newer creatures. Two fyoras that were with you from the start of the game can hit as hard as a dryak for a fraction of the cost, even if you don't improve any of their stats. (Dryaks are still better if you've got the essence for them, but if you have an extra creature slot, that old fyora is still useful.)

So while Ryan might be Drakefyre, all the custom titles are given out by James... That explains a lot. :)
