Two questions bout G3 (posible spoiler) in Geneforge Series
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Sunday, April 3 2005 21:32 Profile #1 Stick with the magic shaping, I'd say. Although artilas might be the least effective of the first-tier creations, magic shaping tends to dominate from the second tier on. Vlishes are hugely effective in the midgame, while glaahks and gazers are late-game powerhouses. The eyebeast is arguably the best creation in the game. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

Dislikable in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Sunday, April 3 2005 11:36 Profile #1 This is a pretty horrifying display of wankery, but being the tolerant type of chap that I am, you'd have to try quite a bit harder to be convincingly dislikable.

Custom Titles: How Did You Get Yours? in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Friday, April 1 2005 14:31 Profile #61 I believe I've slowed down in even more majestic fashion than Aran, considering that I once averaged around seventeen or eighteen posts a day and am now down to one or two, if that. I've also spent several short periods away from the boards, and existed largely as a lurker until more recently. I highly doubt that I'll ever make it to Guru status. My social life outside of these boards is reasonably substantial. I live in a dorm, though, so the convenience of having friends a short walk away at all times makes it easier, I suppose, to be socially active. Even when I'm home and things are a bit more inconvenient, though, I still manage to meet up with people. This board is useful to burn some time once in a while, but I've found that I require several hours of actual human contact each day to maintain my contentedness.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, March 31 2005 14:06 Profile #23 The first SW game I played was A3, which I got from Download.com. It grabbed me immediately, and after playing through to the edge of the shareware barrier I proceeded to download A1, A2, GF1, Nethergate, and GF2 once it came out. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them, but when I decided to finally register one, I chose GF2. After playing through it, I proceeded to register GF1 and A3 in quick succession, buying the Nethergate CD with A3. I registered BoA very soon after it came out, and I'll likely do the same with GF3.

Which class first time? in Geneforge Series
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, March 31 2005 01:40 Profile #10 I almost always play as a shaper, as I dislike the appearance of the other two classes and enjoy the ability to really dabble deeply with creations.

New Abortion Laws in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 14:42 Profile #220 I know I don't. But although I certainly don't enjoy doing so, I'm willing to occasionally set traps for and kill mice in order to continue living in my home in any semblance of comfort. Just as I'm grudgingly willing to allow women to have first-trimester abortions done. I respect and treasure life in all of its forms, but in certain situations destroying precious life becomes necessary. As others have mentioned, the only way to completely eliminate abortion is to solve the serious socioeconomic problems that lead women to seek abortions out in the first place. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 14:07 Profile #51 quote: Originally written by Model of a Modern Major Specific: I came up with "Dallerdin" when I was eight, obsessed with Brian Jacques, and trying to write my own eight-book epic in the style of one of his and needed a name for a protagonist. The eight-book epic never got further than about three pages, but for some reason I really liked the name, and so I kept it and used it nown and then. An interesting coincidence- I was hugely into Redwall and Jacques as well back in sixth grade, and my story was an attempt at his style as well. My protagonist was Stughalf, and the story went to around 140 pages full of pointless, drawn-out combat and even less interesting bits of dialogue. At that point, I realized how lousy it was and how far it was from completion and gave up the whole thing altogether. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Spring Break in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 07:05 Profile #3 Spring break was rather relaxing and uneventful this year. I watched voluminous amounts of college basketball, rested quite a bit, read "Dubliners" and in so doing caught up on a few weeks of reading, hung out several times, got trashed twice, and brought my "nautical" hat back with me to school. Not a bad break at all. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered.

On The Possibility of Objective Morality in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Monday, March 28 2005 08:41 Profile #32 My concept of morality is religion-derived, but can apply even to the non-religious. I believe that one ought not to kill others, but not for the reason that the act of killing is inherently bad. As the goal in Hinduism is to attain an even-minded state, very violent extremes of emotion in life indicate that an individual's spirit (atman) is far from reaching the even-minded state it ought to be striving for. Most murders are committed by those in the throes of strong emotions like hate, envy, and avarice. If an individual manages to remain calm and at peace even while confronted with problems in the material world, he is highly unlikely to commit murder or any other activity intending to harm others. One ought not to adhere to a moral code out of fear of retribution from higher powers; one ought to adhere to a moral code out of a desire for self-betterment and inner peace. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed."- The Bhagavad Gita.

Do you think there is a Hell? in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Monday, March 28 2005 07:54 Profile #8 It's called "Hindu," not "Hinduist." I don't believe in Hell, but I do believe in reincarnation and eventual unity of the personal spirit (atman) with the universal spirit (Brahman). I suppose that could be thought of as an afterlife, but I don't believe in an afterlife in the conventional sense. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

How did you got your username? in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Monday, March 28 2005 05:41 Profile #3 "Stughalf" came, like Kelandon's moniker, from a story, one that I wrote around ten years ago. He was the main character from the story, but I didn't really identify with him either, as he was a fairly bland archetypal hero character. When I first began messing about on the internet and started needing aliases and monikers, I wanted a name that was concise and purely original. Stughalf seemed like the most likely choice, so I settled on it for good. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

World of Warcraft in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, March 23 2005 09:19 Profile #16 quote: Originally written by Traci Hedlund: Well, if it is a branch off the original Blizzard's Warcraft/II/III, I rather enjoy playing with the orcs. WoW is one of those online multiplayer RPGs that seem to be all the rage nowadays. In terms of gameplay it's probably got very little in common with the Warcraft series of strategy games. I've never played the game, and in fact wouldn't ever think of doing so. Blizzard has produced some fine software in the past, but it's gotten extremely lazy and unproductive in recent years. Why all this multiplayer pap when everyone's still waiting and drooling over the prospect of a Starcraft II? -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Sexual Orientation in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, March 23 2005 09:05 Profile #45 quote: Originally written by Bad-Ass Mother Custer: Conscious food farming - 'organic', 'free range', and so on - is incredibly wasteful, almost insultingly so when you take into account areas where millions of people live without proper nutrition. I don't support free-range or organic farming either where the animals in question are still processed for meat, although it does seem preferable as far as reducing the amount of pain they must endure. In the same vein, I suppose providing larger enclosures and better care for those animals destined for lab research is also a positive step. However, I'm not much for compromise on the issue of animal rights. I'd like to eliminate meat production and animal testing entirely, although I understand what a difficult and gradual endeavor this would have to be. My views on the subject have to do with my appraisal of life being of equal value regardless of utility or intelligence. Only when quality of life has deteriorated past a certain point does it become acceptable, in my mind, to end the life. I'd never consider killing a healthy human or animal, but I'd be willing to put any suffering life form out of its misery. Of course, we have discussed the issue of animal rights and our differing views on the subject in the past, so I'd be quite willing to forgo a repeat discussion. Unless, of course, others would be interested in participating or offering up new insight into the issue. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

I'm rather insensitive to insults as a rule, and as such am not bothered by the rare person that'll address me as "dot-head" or whatever else.
