FBM, shut up and leave the newbie alone. There's nothing wrong with topic necromancy if you have anything worthwhile to say.

I'm all for nudity wherever possible. I.E., where frostbite (hi, Morgan) isn't an issue.
We wouldn't really mind seeing fat, ugly, unshapely, etc. people after a generation of nudity -- we'd be as used to it as we are seeing them clothed now.

See, Kelandon, the most lasting effect I've had on the Blades community has been the Solberg crisis. I almost single-handedly drove Alcritas off. :-p

J.R. "Bob" Dobbs is sort of Slackware's mascot. He shows up in a number of forms in the distribution, and the name "Slackware" comes from the Sub-Genius concept of slack -- I.E., Slackware is the distro that requires the least effort to do the most, thus it has slack. (This is generally true. For real work, Slackware is a beautiful and elegant system.)

I'm not particularly surprised at the country-bashing going on here. Most young people seem incapable at looking at a genre beyond its most recent and famous representatives. If all you're considering is Garth Brooks and Faith Hill, of course country is terrible. But that's ignoring Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, the Carter family, and a number of other truly talented American roots musicians who started the folk tradition.
It's like judging metal by crap like Papa Roach and Disturbed, or judging rap by Lil Jon. (Which is sadly common; have any of you ever listened to KRS-ONE?)
Every genre of music has its trash and its geniuses. I stopped paying attention to supposed genres a long time ago, because I realized that they don't really mean anything.
I mean, what's Big Black? Are they noise-rock? Post-punk? Punk? Industrial? Maybe they're somewhere in between. I frankly don't care. All I know is that they've got crazy guitar sounds and lyrics that punch you in the face, and that's what I like.
The more people obsess about genre, the less they care about music, in my experience.

Trust me on this, when I take a look at the people in my town and see how short all of them are when fully grown (the average is 5ft, only because there are one or two exceptionally tall people and immigration), I know I made the right choice, being 6"2 and 13 stone at 15. No fat, toned. All thanks to milk and vitamins. Never ate my vegetables except for sweetcorn and cucumber. And judging by my lineage it probably wasn't genetic either.

You know, being the least inbred hillbilly in your immediate area isn't exactly something to brag about. I mean, jesus, you're in England.

The Lyceum's been around far longer than the Spidweb boards, dampeoples. It's like the place for Blades of Exile (and to a lesser extent Blades of Avernum) discussion.

It's basically the community center for the die-hard BoE community.

Well, dang. I've never actually played Exile...

That explains a lot.

I've played a handful of BoE scenarios and never released one, and I've been posting at the Lyceum since pre-ezBoard days. So I think I disprove your theory, Kel.

White Wolf is for relentless wankers. I take them just about as seriously as Poppy Z. Brite, which is to say not at all.

I rather prefer Daggerfall's vampirism-as-a-disease concept.

I suppose plucking the back legs off a spider would make them an insect?

Spiders and insects are relatively distant members of Arthropoda, and number of legs is only one morphological trait that distinguishes the two.

Personally, I've never heard of a six-legged spider, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone had created such a freak of nature.

EDIT: Also, there are animals other than insects with six legs. Mite larvae come to mind.

The difference, of course, is that the SW boards suck horribly and the Lyceum is awesome.

But they are. A life is a life is a life, and I see no reason to distinguish between sentient lives with distinct personalities.

that's the point. As I said in the poll topic: that nobody cares anymore is an intrinsic flaw in our society.
Thus, it's useful to discuss it here, it's useful when somebody rescues one cat (oops ... Nicothodes' karma increased), it's helpful to engage in campaigns. Every little step to more responsibility is important.

We must learn to live a moral life again. Read Peter Singers "Practical Ethics" to have a better explanation than I could ever give.

Actually, that wasn't a response to the topic -- I care about it very much. I was just editing out a particularly vitriolic post.

It strikes me that the first reaction of humans to a problem is to destroy whatever it is that bothers them. We are all drowning in blood.

Maybe you'll think of me when you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue, then what will you do?

Maybe you'll sit and sigh, wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "Maybe"

Uh, congratulations, I suppose.

Corn on the cob, some vegetarian potstickers, and asparagus. And some, ahem, 'miscellaneous herbal supplement'.

EDIT: THIS IS LIKE A BLOG, ONLY MUCH WORSE. I ONLY DO THIS BECAUSE I HATE YOU ALL.

Leftover corn and potstickers. And soymilk.

And plantains are great, and not too hard to get if you go to a decent grocery.
