"Minimal trouble"?
...eh. I haven't had experience with anywhere else, so maybe America is tolerant on a comparative basis, even though I doubt it.

Ma'am, don't insult my intelligence.
The problem with Maschineumdrehung is that it would stretch that column of every topic I posted in, and that's bad in general.

A recommendation for dealing with the problem is to not only complain to the corporations who are there, but also support foreign industry in what would otherwise be developing countries. These countries deserve industrialization, they don't deserve being beaten down by men in pinstripes forcing a parodized version on them and calling it fair on the basisc that they'll unionize in approximately one-megabajillion years.

Saying "We need to go through bad times in order for the Asian countries to improve" is like the slow-and-steady approach that the South took to racism ever since the reconstruction. Put bluntly, it isn't worth shit. Supporting Globalism, as far as I can see, is circular logic- corporate manifest-destiny is good because it hurts people but eventually leads to more globalization is circle logic.

(But isn't everything? Oh, right. Sorry for offending.)

Strength is valuable for archers- since they will, by their nature, need all 99 arrows they can carry. (Also, did you ever notice how powerful the Empire Archer's melee is?)

It should stand that the only two "collaborative" efforts (or the only good one, not counting the horribly defunct Wreck of the Slug) were made by one person basically writing the scenario and the next tacking other thingies on near the end. In The Claim, the work came close to being equal. Still, it was one person's initiative, and I offered to toss in a bit of work to improve it.

Max Power? Wait, OMGJ Max Power?

...probably not.

The answer should be and will be No. Group projects bring both people down. Avernumscript isn't particularly difficult. I suspect that if you want to make a scenario, you'll be able to learn enough of it to get by. (I was, after all, able to put forth RoR-BoA in a matter of three weeks after the game's release.)

Going back a bit, I actually really like the Aztec idea. It would essentially be Nethergate 2- fight as either the Aztecs or Conquistadors. The former have aptitude with spears and tribal rituals, whereas the latter have aptitude with swords and guns... Hmm...
Yeah. I really, really like this idea.

Alot of BoA- especially scenarios like Diplomacy- virtually require high-level parties. It's not that the combat is unique or challenging- I suppose it is on a comparative basis, but that says relatively little. What makes low parties impossible is that these guys will hit for 50-100 unblockable damage and have a bajillion HP and plenty more armor to boot- it mirrors the SNES FF games in this aspect.

Sorry, Creator.

Remember, of course, that it doesn't have to be America in a bad light. I, for instance, used the War of 1812 in my incarnation of it- the US probably wasn't right, but they weren't egregious devil armies.

Stug- Perhaps I used the wrong vocabulary (lol). What I was proposing was that Hinduism preaches a one-way approach (Dharma, unless my knowledge is inaccurate [lol again]) to reaching enlightenment. Regardless of how ambiguous Hinduism may or may not be in regards to the nature of that one way, I have never heard it say that such a way didn't exist.

I s'pose I'm trying to compare it, at least in part, to the Catholic concept of Eccumenicalism- in that, it doesn't matter much what you believe, as long as it's "good" and is something in general.

I'm not sure if that statement is sarcastic, but it's also damned true- your Hinduist religion is incredibly stringent with its morals. I'm not sure how strict you are in *enforcing* them, but the guidelines themselves read like m-w.com

(The part where I replied to Djur was specifying which O'Brien I was implying previously. Conan is a sexy man, even if Timothy is sexier.)

Kelandon, if you want me to try to prove postmodern thought in the objective world(s), I'm going to have to back out. Defining it, of course, is also an act of futility. It is, put simply, the philosophy of nothingness. It's all-but-impossible for creatures of somethingness like every human being on Earth (irony, again, intended) to ever truly be able to contemplate. Box-sculptures and stories about stories are a start, though.

Thuryl is dead-on-center.

All ways, even the lack thereof, are themselves ways. How does one define a cave without defining the outdoors, and is the outdoors not just a cave to the people in the cave itself? Everything is relative to the cave you are in at any one moment in time.
(It should be noted, of course, that I am merely repeating myself.)

BTW, Thuryl, how would you define thinking for one's self? Is it even possible?

Cursory knowledge? Wait, you mean that postmodernism has suddenly become quantifiable?
Ow. The irony's razor-sharp.

Djur- Unless you're alluding to something different, any genderization is a charade.
