17. Which is temporarily better than 18, since the whole world can't hold our asinine politics against me on a personal basis. Yet. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

When Zauberer stops working, run this test for me! Go east, and see if you can enter the room with lots of crystals or not (and tell me so). Also, if you EVER encounter an error message, please tell me! Thanks. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Kudos to BK. Furthermore, when you make sense-central assumptions and insinuate solipsism, it is a message that is taught to you for the purpose of keeping you senile and under control. 1. When you contemplate the unanswerable and create dragons, your thoughts have no implications in the real world. That's not to say that such a thing isn't bad under the axioms made, but so few solipsists understand the concept of restraint; the fact that so many feel compelled to spread the anti-word is indicative of the gravity in this argument even in such a context. Basically, solipsism distracts you. 2. "Everything isn't real" is a catch-all cop-out for defeating any philosophy, especially the dialectic ones; by introducing a philosophy that can void all of history, arguing the dialectic becomes an unmanageable task. Furthermore, any philosophy that requires observations become suspect, and the field which embodies the death of the appendage that philosophers used to call the good life becomes intermingled with philosophers who still call it such, leaving Marx, Hegel et al. in the fairy-dust. Basically, saying that everything isn't real is a cute way of avoiding any form of argumentation, and damages the reputation of all other forms of thought by association. 3. When one looks inwards, one is looking only at that which one has been taught; therefore, when one looks inwards to dictate perception, one is still seeking out what has been taught to one. Basically, we spew out what we're taught, and solipsism is not a form of rebellion. If you understand these arguments and the ethical implications on behalf of the bourgeoisie, then my previous arguments relating to this discussion on a whole become readily apparent. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Again, I repeat: Which version of Canopy were you playing? Which version of BoA? I can't fix these problems, especially when they aren't happening to me. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

That's a failure of the town script. Which version of BoA are you using? Which version of Canopy are you playing with? After the beams all activated, did you move the mirror anywhere? I'll see what the problem could be. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Thuryl- you're a med student, right? If the brain is not the only part of the body that controls thought, then take this challenge- remove your brain and have a thought, I dare you. Well, without being able to cut somebody up and poke around their grey matter, no duh it's proof by assertion only- but we can take that brain, remove it and then notice that thoughts stop. (And maybe, at the end of the day, you can continue believing in an indelible soul if you want, but there is no basis for it; doing so not only has clearly identifiable ethical implications with regards to objectivity, but also does nothing of worth in this discussion except immediately end it. A soul means a higher power that you believe in, which means that talking about this is moot.) PS- If you want to know my stance on "evil" or whatever fappery you're slapping your pizzles at, my posts still exist and remain unreplied to. -------------------- 私のバラドですそしてころしたいいらればころす Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Drakey- I'm not insinuating that there aren't inherent benefits and downsides based on the genes that one has had doled out to one's self. All that Partisan Slith said that truly irked me was that people who are currently wealthy are wealthy based on a superior nature. Maybe there's a case for a system based on genetic capabilities, but the only real implication of stating that such a thing exists now is nothing short of racism. (Not that all minorities are poor, but the affluent minorities are dwarfed by less prestigious counterparts, and well-to-do minorities are considered to be "white" anyway.) I'd go at it proper, but Alec has said all that I otherwise would have. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

"A rich child doesn't always end up rich, nor a poor child end up poor. Men are born with different skills than others, so none are technically "equal." Because no two men are identical, society cannot always be fair. It's either let the strong willed succeed and the weak fall short, or keep everyone one the same level, hindering some and helping others. Either way, someone always loses." Apart from being an equivocation; sure, class movement is possible, but only as tokenism (if that); you seem to be arguing for a meritocracy based on genetic inclinations. (And holy HELL, does that have racist implications if you're trying to defend the status quo, nevermind the fact that you use the word "man" in lieu of "people".) Doesn't it make more sense to level the playing field so that your alleged "genetic benefits" have a chance to appear? How many genii are suffering in the Bronx, while dim-witted upper-middle-class indie rockers complain about their lives to the tune of whatever their 400$ iPods are humming? Seems to me as if you rightfully recognize the massive amount of stuff you've got- a grand feat, compared to the other insatiable commodity fetishists in our economic stratum- but what you're arguing is that everybody has to lose (which is flat out wrong, considering how much funds are being wasted on wars and corporate contrats), and that you shouldn't lose because you were born with stuff, evidencing the fact that you have genetic superiority. You are being a bigot, and I cannot be the only person to see this. EDIT: For sake of clarification, this is directed towards Partisan Slith.

Thuryl- when you're chasing down enemies, fleeing, need that first-turn boost, etc., 2AP is plenty. Not that you'll need it at ALL when you hit the higher-level scenarios that will give you its equivalent in overpowered items, but nevertheless...

"Hey, Billy! We know that you're raised by hobos and that you have to eat Eukanuba when you're having a good day, but we really want you to try your hardest, we really, really do!" That reaks to high heaven of disregarding subjects to further the cause of objective productivity. (Using the word "subject" in this instance in the way that a scientist would talk about a needle-pricked hamster, no less.) Let me put it this way- if you are born rich, it is impossible to fail at staying rich. By merely allowing children to keep their inheretances, you violate meritocratic principles. Furthermore, the capitalist economy is wrought with hazards that will prevent a hard-working citizen from getting a job. If there are five positions and six men who can all do the job, one of those men is left flat out on his ass. Inheritance should be used to fuel unemployment benefits. Rich kids can't Paris Hilton their way through life entirely (and certainly there are other obstructions towards a meritocracy), and jobless people without homes and a stable income can survive while they continue their searches -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

There should be no reason why Zauberer would move. This leaves me confused greatly. Did you experience any error messages? I will look into this to see if I can solve whatever is there. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

They have a ~50% chance of teleporting. Anyway, when they do teleport, they always shoot out another beam, revealing them anyway. It makes things inconvenient if your luck is bad, sure, but it's not impossible. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Unfortunately, the thing about that is that invisible monsters can't have spells cast at them, and Cloud of Blades requires a non-PC, monster target anyway. Simultaneously, the Holy Warriors aren't invisible since they fire beams at you. That is, you can see the source of the fire that's being shot at you. They don't "teleport" around very often, making the task easier than it seems. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Histrionic? No moreso than an ideology which superfluously flaunts about its moot notions of adherence to the dissolution of the subject. Let me clarify: What evil IS does not matter. What matters is that we are discussing it, and in doing so, we sacrifice the subject; that is, the individual morals and beliefs that we espouse; to further benefit the overwhelming objectivity of history; that is, the advance of society as it drags along the lifeless appendage of our personal beliefs and desires, which is what the philosophers used to call the good life. Essentially, by merely holding this discussion, we are being used. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

But nevermind the implications of depicting heaven as the fulfillment of commodity fetishism... No, having power doesn't invalidate a point (and I'd be going against my grammatological leanings to insinuate that any law can have absolute cogency), but the way it's used and the morals that are displayed must be put under careful scrutiny to determine the motives they were enacted with. Drakey, you're Jewish, right? Do you believe that Jesus and Mohammed were both profits, or that one and not the other was? EDIT: Re-read most of what I wanted to in the thread. A few thoughts, then: Why are we having this discussion? Essentially, this sort of philosophy, wherein "evil" is tossed around like flapjacks, is bound to produce no result whatsoever. So then the implications of determining what evil is becomes moot, and what gains greater import is why evil is being discussed. To wit, the notion of solipsism is inherently society-serving. Based on engenderment as the primary, acting form of recognizable determinism, all acts of introspection are merely hotlines to Brown and Root et al. Furthermore, when posing paradoxes to one's self and not expecting an answer- as this discussion is an example of- one spurns Hegel, Marx et al. and places coffee house antics in their stead. This discussion, as far as I'm concerned, is a device of control and should be recognized as such. As to that which society considers evil, not only is it moot, but it is wholly evident in the way that one thinks- thus Phenomology of the Mind, using introspective thinking as a viewing glass into the machinery which all participants in society (especially those blessed with the affluency to post online) have become laden with.

No arguments here. If the state liquidizes all assets, it'll reduce surpli and encourage consumption; in other words, more stuff for the rest of us whose sphyncters weren't laden with silverware post-partum under any system. -------------------- 人 た ち を 燃 え る た め に 俺 は か れ ら に 火 を 上 げ る か ら 死 ん だ Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
