It probably is but the reason is probably the way Jeff has historically been doing resource forks and all that stuff. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I think this topic has gone far enough. Don't call people facists or reptiles on this board because they happen to disagree with you. Amnesty International, like any other group with political points to score, should be treated with some suspicion and should not be above criticism. It does not hold any special place, despite how honorable their motives might be. Take for example Greenpeace. They have honorable goals of protecting the environment. However, they have been known to cherry pick data (i.e. tell the noble lie) to prove the conclusions they want. I don't see how Amnesty International could be any different -- not saying they do the same, but the motive is definitely there and not above question. Anyway, the rhetoric in this topic has gone too far. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

This poll only further proves the magnanimous nature of the administration. All the propaganda to the contrary are just that, mere propaganda. Fortunately, the people of these forums are astute enough to see past those delusions. Now the administration can return to its vital mission of protecting the members from threats perpetrated by evildoers. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Seems like a pretty restrictive definition of superiority and inferiority. Would an autistic midget be inferior to a regular human and only be fit to serve? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I think this is too complex for us to deal with. I'd suggest e-mailing Jeff. He might have encountered something like this before and may have a solution for you. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I agree, GF4 will be a more complicated game to give an FAQ to because of the many different paths involved.

Gorgons and netherspiders can be interesting if developed. In Exile, Gorgons were just big monsters with no real story. Definitely an open opportunity here.

Not unless Jeff programmed it that way. I suspect he did in a lot of the early encounters. I think the Myrmadon test would be a little more interesting to try as they have a high variability. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

quote:There are many who would debate that the concept of equality, superiority, and inferiority applied to humans is artificial and has no objective standpoint. If all men are equal why is it that some are better musicians than others? I think the point is that not all humans are equal in an absolute sense, but deserve to be treated with fundamentally equal amounts of dignity. As for serviles, relative to what measure of inferiority? Care to quantify this inequality so we can actually measure it? The problem is this is virtually impossible because there are so many abstract variables that are inherently impossible to quantify. So we come back to the philosophical question applied to humans. Do all humans deserve to be treated with a basic amount of dignity? Serviles exhibit a lot of human characteristics in their personality. On average some may be "dumber" than the average human. Nonetheless, how can one truly say they are inferior without using a highly restricted definition of personally quality? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Trajkov actually was a lot kinder to the Serviles and creations as I recall. Power without wisdom generally leads to destruction. The Geneforge is not inherently bad, although it does have bad side effects. As long as the power is used reasonably that's fine. However, it's very difficult to ensure this. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Early on I would say the Awakened, they appear to be the most reasonable, although Trajkov did make some good points (he was almost un-Taker like to be a full Taker I feel). Later on, I would say the Shapers...the Awakened were too weak as time went on, the Barzites were crazy, and the Takers insane. Once things turned into Rebels versus Shapers, I'd stick with the Shapers. Even if they are cruel, they are not indiscriminately spreading dangerous creatures all over the place. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
