If you're arguing that people shouldn't be given any gov't assistance, then the scenario of classism plays itself out- the rich nuptualize their sons into positions of power and usurp everyone else.

Okay, so this sucks. Has anything else actually worked better so far?

It's necessary for you to seriously consider and address the possibility that humanity is in fact inherently and irreparably horrible, and that the best anyone can hope for is to stay at the top of the heap instead of the bottom.

Still, I'm not sure Austria can get rid of its Holocaust laws. Doing so could easily turn into a political blunder as outsiders, particularly those who are very sensitive about the Holocaust, protest loudly.

—Alorael, who would look at sexual dimorphism in other primates for an understanding of humans. If primates closely related to humans tend to have behaviors determined by gender, it's a fair bet that human behavior was also determined by gender and that brains evolved for those tasks along gender lines. Even if only humans culturally separated tasks but did it a long time ago different abilities could have developed.

It works. Rape is not the problem in Islamic countries that it is in the US. It may seem barbaric, but it is effectual. I honestly don't have a problem with it.

One of the weird things about the level caps is that they aren't always pure caps on what level your characters can achieve. I'm pretty sure that I hit a level cap in A1 or A2 by having my party's average level hit the level cap.

This can be misleading when you're trying to figure out what the level cap actually is.

I remember about three creatures going rogue during my playing through the GF series, all of them were low level, had low intelligence and were near death. It rarely happened, and once they had higher intelligence they tended to flee if down to less than 5 to 10% HP.

One might perhaps be able to buy a sufficiently isolated country, by monopolising its external trade to the point of being able to exercise decisive influence on its internal policies. You wouldn't be able to extract profit from the country, though, since your means of control is outspending the place. And your control would be limited by the inhabitants' options of emigration, or reversion to autarchic subsistence.

In that sense, completely free speech (and writing) would also make copyrights impossible. Those restrict someone's ability to speak or write too. Thinking of government secrets as information that the government has copyrighted for its own protection covers the only justifiable exception to free speech that I can think of. You have the right to say or write anything you want as long as it's your own original words, but when it's someone else's, that other party may have the right to prevent it from being said.

—Alorael, who is not ready to believe that open-source everything is viable. Open-source government will be a long time in coming.

Originally written by Student of Trinity:

Creating consumer desire for a product which is not especially impressive in itself is itself creating a product. Having money and not wanting any of the things you could buy with it is actually an undesirable state for most people. So we are happy to pay for the advantage of wanting a product we can buy. The production of consumer desire is thus just as much production as mining coal or rolling steel.

That's so fun Jewels. I bet most guys (pimps) can't even remember their first kiss (date wise I'm talking about). Mine was on May 5th, 2001 at 11:40pm.

Edit: I'm Libra, and I'm not sure about Jewels, but mine was at a friends Birthday party. Thus I'm able to recall the date.

Q: Does the game use a new engine?
A: Avernum 4 uses a HIGHLY modified version of the Geneforge engine. It
runs at a higher screen resolution, has nicer graphics, and is very
definitely an Avernum game.
Q: Does the game play like Geneforge?
A: Nope. It's an Avernum game. It is fully turn-based, and has the
Avernum game system. People who like Avernum more than Geneforge will
not be unhappy, I promise.

Also, it was a splinter cell of vahnatai that clued in the Empire as to the value of the revered gemstones. The Empire made the rational choice by taking the perceived advantage. The bad guys are the vahnatai who had an argument with the leadership.

Which reminds me, why are/were some Vahnatai in league with the Empire in E2?
