Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, November 7 2006 01:15 Profile Homepage #61 Since each topic you look at now (assuming there are no errors) gets cached in the post table, a search function will cover nearly all posts once it is written. (This is shown in the footer line - if it says "Posts parsed from file" and "Topic written to cache", it was parsed, and if it says "Topic retrieved from cache" it was already cached.) I also added a better error page. So the page now doesn't just break with "Database Error", but it displays a complete page with an error message and links back to the forum. The parser itself will have to wait longer, though.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, November 6 2006 00:32 Profile Homepage #23 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: 1. an opposing nation just like your nation in every way other than name (given that they attacked your nation first)? 2. an opposing religion (given that the religion you follow endorses the war and you will have to convert if you lose)? 3. an opposing government type (Democracies vs. Dictatorships, or whichever type you hate the most)? 4. an opposing economic theory (Capitalists vs. Communists, or whichever theory you hate the most)? 5. an opposing class (Bourgeois vs. Proletariat, whichever one you aren’t)? 5. racists (given that you are a member of their race)? 6. an alien species bent on the destruction of mankind (you may live as a slave mining salt if you surrender)? 7. me (given that you're 'strong' and fairly well off under my rule)? 1. No 2. No 3. Possibly 4. No 5. No ... uh, 5.1. Likely 6. Possibly 7. Yup. There's just no living under the rule of someone who can't count till 8. (insert Dubya jab here) :P Edit: Switched answers to 5.1 and 6, changed answer to 3. Edit, for clarity and explanation. 1.) National identity is a heap of bollocks. Barring rights and laws, there is no sane reason to prefer living as the citizen of one nation as opposed to another. We can spend some time talking about taxes, moving, reconstructional work and just the effort of learning another nation's language, but these aren't relevant to the question. No, this does not mean I would like it if another nation invaded my home country for no reason, but it does mean that any resistance on my part would require insane atrocities by the invaders and/or a utopic system under the previous government. 2.) Ditto for religion. Stareye makes the point that religious values forced on someone are worthless - true. But I won't fight to get rid of something worthless any more than to keep it. Now if the new religion involved human sacrifices from among us, I'd reconsider. 3.) I originally answered no to this one. On review, it looks like this can be worth it - if the dictatorship is really oppressive, and the democracy worked particularly well. And no, as long as speech, press and civil liberties remained unhindered, I wouldn't die for elections. Keep in mind that a dictatorship is not equivalent to fascism - play NationStates. 4.) Completely ridiculous. If worst came to worst, I'd leave. (If they don't let me, we're back to "oppressive", and I might fight to get out). 5.) Similarly ridiculous. 5.1.) I had this as possibly, but am changing it to likely. Among the realistic points on this list, it's just about the only one worth fighting over. So yay for Nelson Mandela and MLK. 6.) Possibly. It depends on the safety conditions in the salt mine. Paraphrasing a quote I remember being attributed to the Dalai Lama (which I can't find now), "show me the alien" before you make me answer hypothetical questions. :P 7.) This one's just patently ridiculous. But I know your ethics, and I would fight to the death to ensure you rule no country.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, November 4 2006 15:49 Profile Homepage #44 The others appear to be not lazy enough to come here now, so I'll just pop back in for a moment. I just got to the 10,000 milestone today, so if I maintain this speed, I'll be done ten days early. A part of tomorrow will probably be spent on plot planning instead of writing - now that I've got a lot of the beginning out of the way, I'll soon reach the point where I've only got a vague idea about what happens next. So I need to take a short break to regroup and plan the next few chapters in more detail...

Mindcontrol - sort of in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, November 4 2006 15:43 Profile Homepage #6 I'd feel uncomfortable with that kind of power. No really, it makes my ethics tingle unpleasantly. There's one possibly "good" use I see for it: Given the chance, it would be nice to be able to alter the memory of someone who's gone through something really bad. Although that's kind of risky - for example, you could behave like a complete jerk and then make people like you again, over and over. Or imagine the possibility of someone you have a hopeless crush on to suddenly thinking you've been dating for a year. So nah, I think I'll pass. ---- Then again, people already seem to think I like stealth-editing their posts, so this isn't a big step. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
