Human cloning in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Saturday, August 6 2005 05:46 Profile Homepage #43 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: I am so against human cloning that I think we need to abort one member of each pair of identical twins. This is just wrong, in my opinion. Abortion, to me at least, equals murder. And that isn't a religious viewpoint either. The biggest danger I can think of now, which has been mentioned, is meaning. If we create somebody, aren't we removing any higher purpose from them? We, as a species, have long wondered why we are here. Wouldn't creating a clone take that away from them?

Death to Anama!!! in The Avernum Trilogy
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Friday, August 5 2005 07:25 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Drakefyre: The Anama have been unfairly victimized and slandered for decades. Shame on you for continuing this hate speech. "Hate speech..." Oh Drakey...! I think the Anama are okay. That's all. I joined when I played Exile, because Avatar was incredible, but in Avernum I felt slightly cheated. Being a big fan of Haste level 3, I didn't want to forfiet my mage. And I felt that stowing her away in Fort Emergence was too much like cheating. I can see the for and against points to their argument, but as far as I can see, magic saved their lives. Was not the Phoneix Egg magically made (by Vahnatai, if Purgat... the mage man's words are to be listened to)? No, if the Anama really existed, I would not join.

Previous ports (of which there have only been two) could just as easily been redone. And as for RoR, it was redone, mostly. The worlds of BoA and BoE are totally different.

Scenario Contest Entries in Blades of Avernum
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Friday, August 5 2005 07:14 Profile Homepage #21 To be fair, Bahs is better for it's difficulty. Because, yes, I did find it hard. That annoying summoning altar...grr... Anyway, after replaying all scenarios, I now have a top 5 (only my opinions): Fifth will be Druids. This is good, and had an average plot. It's also more polished and longer than other contenders. Fourth is Emerald Mountain. I loved this. It had good plot, slightly branching story, and gorgeous terrain. I liked this more than Backwater Calls, so... Third will be Canopy. I especially think that the custom spells will do TM a big favour here, and it's a sizeable scenario, with lots of towns, and some really interesting dialogue, not to mention a great plot. Secondly, I put Mad Ambition. The linearity drags slightly, but this contains by far the most "real" characters we've yet seen in BoA. Plus a good plot, and some amazingly clever tricks, make it a hot favourite. That means my money's on Bahs to win. This is becasue although MA is my favourite, Kelandon worked wonders in every way. It has an incredible plot, lots of amazing scripting, and is large enough, and hard enough, to get us thinking about replaying. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Human cloning in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Friday, August 5 2005 06:44 Profile Homepage #18 Hmm. I think it's right to create organs for transplant, since not to do so may result in the loss of human life. That should be avoided, in my opinion, at any cost. But creating people? What is to stop us then creating armies of humans? And then manipulating the genes, which we can do, and making them subserviant(sp?)? It might seem far-fetched, but it's there. Also, remember the outrage at the first IVF baby? This is likely to be worse. As with anything, there is a thin line. Doing it with noble intentions may be good and all that, but when an infertile couple go to a doctor and ask for a baby, would it be right to give them one through cloning? Is it God's will? And, if there is a Higher Being, surely even creating organs is against his plan. I don't know the details of the arguments. These are just things that come to me now. But if we are to do it... I just get images of "Brave New World" coming to me from dark recesses of my mind. Despite the good it could do...

What's your religion? in General
Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Friday, August 5 2005 06:38 Profile Homepage #13 quote: You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism. Satanism 79% agnosticism 71% atheism 71% Buddhism 42% Paganism 42% Islam 33% Christianity 29% Hinduism 25% Judaism 21% Well that was a surprise, since I consider myself to be an atheist. Actually, I AM an atheist. I don't belief at all. Therefore, I conclude that the test is flawed... Or I'm not as sure as I think... -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post.

Scariest thing... in General

Just creeped me out. Either that, or when you are in the school, and the corpse falls out of the locker. That terrified me. The fairground was also pretty creepy. The thing with Silent Hill was that it didn't shock - it unsettled. That's why I loved it so mucj more than Resident Evil.
