What will scare the heck out of McCain in General
Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 13:53 Profile Homepage #71 He said he was talking about the Gulph War. I can see how people would gladly misinterpret his words, however. And I still don't understand why you can't be a flip-flopper and a moderate. People called Kerry a flip flopper, yet according to that link you posted earlier, he voted liberal more often than anyone else in the Senate. It doesn't seem like being a flip-flopping tells you a whole lot about the politician. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 13:12 Profile Homepage #69 So that's what you're going with? He's not a conservative, not a liberal, not a moderate... he's an inconsistent? Wow, and I thought you guys were stretching it with your definition of politics. I don't know why I bother. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Another idea rather than pack animals might be a something like a Diablo 2 style stash system. Each major city could have a stash just for you for storing items, and they would be linked to each other. I wouldn't want pack animals simply because I can just imagine them getting killed in a boss fight or something and there being tons of your loot lying around right in the middle of a hostile zone.

That seems like a moderate to me, what was your definition? OOC: I think my posts keep disappearing. That, and in the recent posts section in my profile it says I've posted in the "Social Networking" thread when I clearly haven't.

There are many Shaper taboos, and the ones against self-shaping will probably not be the first to be abandoned. But I doubt anyone will have to push too far into the back rooms to find the canister stashes. I really hope there wouldn't be a theme of reluctance in a Barzite faction. I would prefer a more "we told you so, now let's embrace our birthright" attitude. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Geneforge 5 - Possible Sects in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 07:28 Profile Homepage #11 If there is an Awakened faction, there will be little room for a non-drakon type Rebellion faction. Unless those that break away from the Rebellion become the new Awakened. I think a Shaper split is more likely because as the Rebels continue to grow more and more powerful and the Shapers continue to run out of trained shapers, some will turn to canisters. Those some will technically be Barzites. I figure both splits will happen, still leaving room for the Trakovites. There's your five sects. I'm still hoping for that extra yourself faction, however. Jeff's included non-faction endings before, so who knows. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Would you be so kind as to give me your definition of a moderate while you're at it? And how is saying he would decrease spending a dodge? It's what conservatives do.

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 06:06 Profile Homepage #46 Did you not click the link Sullust posted? He has a moderate voting record! You say he's just inconsistent? Moderates have to be inconsistent because of how polarized the legislation is! It's not like there's all this moderate legislation out there for them to vote on, it's a matter of swinging both ways. And McCain does have a moderate stance on governance. He believes that the federal government should be small (conservative) yet also with plenty of power vested in it (liberal). -------------------- You lose.

Geneforge 5 - Possible Sects in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 02:58 Profile Homepage #7 I anticipate the five factions will be: 1. Shapers, the usual. 2. Rebellion, with drakon leaders and human followers still. 3. Neo-Awakened, basically rebels minus the crazy people. 4. Trakovites, Jeff totally set them up in the last game. 5. See below. quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Will the canister-mad humans ally with the Drakons against all orthodox Shapers and lesser beings, or with lesser humans against all creations and orthodox Shapers? If they are true Barzites, they would never ally with creations. That would just make them more rebels, wouldn't it? What makes the Barzites different from any other faction is that they are canister users who still hate creations, an ideology sorely underrepresented in the past two games. And they do not have to work alone, either. They are basically orthodox shapers who want to take that extra step to put creations back in their place, which totally constitutes a faction. With the Shapers needing to bend their rules more and more all the time, it would likely be a popular faction as well. They don't necessarily work only for their own benefit, either, unless they happen to be Tullegolites as well. Give them a new name, and you actually have a fairly logical faction: the people who hate creations because of the war and who intend to use all the power lying around to bring it to an end. Yes, they will probably end up crazy like the Barzites were, but that's the fun part. I can't understand why Jeff has left this ideology out of the games for so long. If he leaves this option out again, I will be disappointed. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Thursday, May 8 2008 00:09 Profile Homepage #40 McCain has a very moderate record for a Republican. You're right that he is no Chaffee, but as far as presidential candidates go, he is the most liberal Republican since Teddy Roosevelt. As for Obama, I don't care whether or not he eats meat, the guy is a political liberal. [ Thursday, May 08, 2008 00:11: Message edited by: Emperor Tullegolar ] -------------------- You lose.

I just hope the anti-creation pro-self-shaping faction is as cool as the Barzites were. It will be great to once again have access to a faction that is more close to my personal beliefs. You do have an anti-creation, pro-self-shaping faction in there with the five, right? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

All depends on whether you use logic or just twist words, I won't say who's doing which. I'd would say I'm a politician, but I'm not sure whether that would help or hurt my case.

Plenty of people go through life without ever voting or even having a political opinion. The United States suffers chronically from people like this.
