... so, if I may make a stab at deciphering the analogy, you're saying that gay marriage is bad because it will encourage gay people to sexually assault you and those close to you?

Yoy definitely missed the analogy. It is slightly deeper then you "deciphered", if you really did try. :)

That's not fair, still it's up to you. :P

Edit: That will be almost the same as if I think about your first post here that you expect from people who is getting married nothing except the desire to feel superior towards those, who is still single. Superficially one can see only this point :) However, I guess it is not right.

Hmmm. Since we were talking on civil acts topic, and you were the first person to bring up the parallel with your neighbour, I continued answering analogically to your example. It wasn't literally that I meant your neighbour and your dog's crap. However if you also answered in your last post with analogy, speaking in fact about civil acts and stuff, then I fail to understand what "fenced", "woods" and your "dog prefering woods" mean in the key of civil acts :D

Fair enough, and I understand the "close to home" bit as well. So I pose the question. How does this decision affect you personally? I mean, my neighbor could have a habit of eating dog crap, but as long as he isn't in my yard following my dog, I've got no problem with what he is doing. But that is me. Someone else may want the guy to stop doing what he loves.

If you don't pay attention to your neighbour now, it will be too late when he sneaks upon your dog's crap suddenly one day, so you won't be able to clear it yourself.

Oh, I'm so late! Seems like I don't need to explain what I meant under "fully functional element of society", since I'll have to quote from almost all Drew's and Ash's posts.
However, I can give my two cents in everybody's agreements over here. In my opinion, state law shouldn't influence or make some pressure on society in case of "marriage". But speaking about "civil unions" I think government should follow the way "democracy" leads. I failed to think over the following paradox:
- a lot of people don't want to see same-sex civil unions in law
- they don't have a proper argument, they just find it terrible/fearful/disgusting
- gay look forward to see the legislation of their civil unions.
So making the law, legalising same-sex civil union will fulfil the democratic principles for the third. But people from the first part will never agree with that, no matter what motives they have. Since I think such is the bigger part of society, this may lead to some harrowing results in society. I may be wrong, however, speaking about "the bigger part". Anyway from the point of view of government, they need to protect the traditional civil unions, since, I think, it is a part of much more complicated task of protection of nation.
I also have a question. Are there many churches in US or Australia which agree to marry gays? Here in my city we have a fact of disassembling the whole church to the last log in the wall and to the last brick in foundation. That was made by the order of patriarch after he was informed of a fact of a gay marriage. The church then was rebuilt and its stuff replaced. Is such event availabló only in orthodox churches?

-----------------------------------------------
The voices have lost the topic's idea long before the end of this thread. The only thing they tell me is that union of religion and state is not only dangerous for "heretics" of that religion, but for any citizen, since the taxes for the church can be endless, all under cover of "for HIS sake". I think such times have passed long ago.

That can mean a result with a family being a full functional element of society. The same-sex marriage hasn't prooved yet to be one. May be they didn't have time to do that, or may be it is unprovable. I didn't want to offend somebody, btw.

I'm not going anywhere further than fishing, simple couple day hiking with my parents and sister coming from Israel.

The voices sound happy about me taking them for fishing. I resist since there should be only me and the float and silence around. However I have a great doubt that I am able to leave them at all.

I think melee is fine the way it is, simple and effective. I'm not saying there can't be more features in skills like riposte, assassination, etc. but I'd make them automatic. I wouldn't even be opposed (although not prefer) to a fast recharging stamina bar that when you have a higher amount, would increase the likelihood of special attacks.

Grrr. I've read through this thread wondering, why doesn't anybody suggest this simple decision? So now I can honourably say: SECONDED.
Conservatives prefer the fighting style "as is". Avangardists want to see it being advanced. No doubt, advancing the AI in the game will make it much more interesting. As for fighting - it is like finding something between "Chapaevists" (current fighting system) and "Chess" (advanced personalised tactics). There is always checkers. Each figure seems to be the same, but one sometimes achieves the ability to jump further. Making special events occur randomly, depending on some simple algorythms is a good way to vary the fighting system without wasting time to choose abilities for your characters.
As for the thought that it would make warrior a "melee mage", I don't think players will reject playing mages or priests. Magic is always interesting. :)
P.S. "Chapaevists" is a game, where checkers are placed in two rows: white against black. Then each player in his turn slaps one checker like in billiards, trying to wipe all the opponent's checkers from the board. Minimum mind activity. :P
So let up expect some entertaining fights.

The voices: "Chapaevists"!?

Seconded. While studying at the uni, we have created some holograms, so dealing with coherention and interferention of phasic and reflected wavefronts we studied a little a question of possible inversion of phasic wavefront on the object. But that's for now is possible just from one "front" and with quite a nuber of external devices :) . But nobody has proved that it is impossible for at least 180 degree view. And that will be quite enough for a trooper.

Edit: Right now I asked this question one of my good friends, who is much into that. And he said, I'm wrong a little. Still it is possible to surround a base with external projectors and hide it. It is widely used.

This would be interesting only to those, who have any idea of what Exile is. However I doubt such customers prevail nowadays.
May be you meant a temporal rift, which brings a party to some past, where some historically important event is taking place? I had such an idea after I had some doubts that 4 (Exile - 6) people can infiltrate Hawthorne's castle. That would be fun to find out that there was one more team, infiltrating that citadel, distracting attention from assassins :)

-------------------------------
Voices agree. Plus they say for me, though I know what Exile is. They say I won't be happy seeing that mixture. I personally don't think that former is admittable technically.

It's ridiculous that your character gets hit in the chest with a sword 50 times and still lives.
Actually there are RPG's where this situation is quite balanced. That means, that being hit rather hard you can die, no matter how much health you have. Plus you can't strike immediately after being hit. And some more details. It is really interesting to play with such strong feeling of real fight, but frankly speaking it takes too much time first to study, then to finish the game. I prefer to play Avernum style RPG. I always find an excuse for 50-hit-still-alive fact. I think a person dodges 49 times, losing health due to a hard effort to block-or-parry. And only on 50-th hit you can't pull up your sword to make a block.

----------------------------
Voices correct me about the reason why I don't like "reality fight" games. They say I can never study to fight like block-parry-strike-block way, preferring click left-mouse-button in a hurry to strike first. That's why, they say, I lose. That's why, they repeat, I don't like such games... I'm confused.

Seems like Google advertisers have earned a couple of bucks after this thread appeared :)
As for the big brother, who knows everything about you since you've stepped on any forum - that is a bit exagerrated, I think. From my point it looks like some exceptional cycle: employer hires a person to do some work, which bring money to employer and to employee. Employer is advanced to the level, when he uses internet to learn more on employee. But when he finds something like "I wish I had a gun and two bullets when I meet Bill Gates" his sence of humor fails to see something funny in that? This way I better agree with Alo: is it worth working for such an employer?
The thing that really troubles me, though, is some software, which communicates with some satelites on Earth's orbit and can scan it's surface with a very high resolution.
Also, if one can find a way to get your IP, he shall know at least your city, if you have an external IP of your internet provider. And it is possible to find an exact address, if your IP is yours only, fixed IP.

The voices are anxiously excited: vying to assure me from now on use online id number (OIN) everywhere I appear online. I start to think which number to take. 19875 doesn't mean anything for me, so it is done!

"If you want to become smarter you'll have to play with a smarter opponent". For me that means, that when I increase the difficulty level in any game, I prefer to see monsters behaving in a much more intelligent way. I know, it is hard to create, since it involves separate training of AI for Easy/Medium/Hard levels. And training AI is still one of not so fully studied things, though there are some interesting knowhow for games.
Definitely I don't want just to see monsters on steroids and nothing else after increasing difficulty level. :)

----------------------
Though voices are not sure that if there was any selfstudying AI in the games which I play I should ever win. I tell them, I can study, too. No doubt.

For Diablo or Diablo 2 there's almost none, just more hack'n'slashing all the way down. For an RPG or an FPS, which involve along with more HP, Int and Def to the monsters, more AI with higher level of difficulty however there is a point. For a player that means that he won't be able to pass through encounters using the same primitive strategy he used on an Easy level. Such as precasting certain spells, reordering group, drinking cetain potions, choosing right location, etc. before the combat. I'm not talking now about Avernum, for I'm not sure AI of monsters changes with higher level.

Huh... Too hard to get the main idea, what you were up to say by that. Sorry. Isn't the increasing of the difficulty always imply balancing the game above the normal difficulty?

Player's synapsis study new ways through player's brain curves(Eng?), allowing him to find the right way to defeat something, which seemes undefeatable. That's the trick of playing some RPG, RTS and even some FPS. :)

That seems like it defeats the entire purpose of playing on a higher difficulty. If you get more experience, you gain more levels. If you gain more levels, the higher-level monsters become easier to defeat, and you're back to unchallenging combat.

Dikiyoba.

Though to give a cent for Diablo-Hellfire it was balanced there. I mean the combat on higher levels was still challenging despite gaining more XP and levelups. The funny thing was to fight with your player, who had finished the hardest mode, in the easyest. Monsters literally died after they tried to hit me, so I just walked through without clicking :) Just for fun, but not to feel myself an archangel. :P

Voices tell me I liked feeling myself a demiurg, though I shall never confess in that.

In Russia we have Yandex for everything possible. Also I think Yahoo has the most powerful engine along with the worst site design, including opening of a link in the same window.
As a funny feature the creators of this search engine made a dzen.yandex.ru, which doesn't have a field to enter a phrase you are seeking for. Just a button "Seek". :) Never know what you will find :)

I definitely got deaf to the voices (or blind to the thread), but why Salmon started talking about the movies?
That is a very good question. I'm sure you will get an answer. My hypothesis is that it was topical.

Well, okay, I've got the idea. A pity I haven't seen Arsenic and Old Lace. Still Wikipedia gave me some knowledge on it's plot. I think that Some Like it Hot definitely should be funnier for me, since I dont like movies making fun of real insanity in a whole family.
Anyway, why did you mention Some Like it Hot? I don't think that disguising man into woman can't be a sample of multy personalities disorder, although in the end one seemed to almost get used to his female personality. :P

P.S. Speaking on comedies, I can watch "Gods Must be Crazy II" again and again. :)

What on Earth should be studied in geography at school for three years about one island (if I got it right)?
