I will continue to maintain that I have never done anything to merit banning. This includes what I was originally banned for. But I shouldn't bring this up again, since even though it's not against the CoC, Stareye might ban me for it. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

There was a startling new revelation in Geneforge 4 that, in a way, could change everything: The uncontrollable rage experienced by those shaped by canisters or the geneforge has no effect when dealing with a similarly shaped or otherwise skilled individual. What a breakthrough for the Tullegolites! The theory of a bunch of powerful godlike beings warring with each other and destroying the world in their wake is no more! Those blessed by the geneforge will experience no rage towards each other, they in fact feel a healthy dose of respect for their skills! There is still the rage felt towards lesser beings, but this is acceptable- nay, desirable for a true Tullegolite. The new revelation that similarly shaped people can now work together is a bonus, as it will make building an army of elite shapers much easier. But Tullegolar, doesn't that make you a rebel that you approve of canisters and geneforges? Nonsense. One of the various ideologies that was missed out on in Geneforge 4 was the one that approves of shaping yourself but does not approve of creation rights. Shaping yourself will make controlling the stronger creations much easier, the Shapers really miss out on this benefit. The foolish rebels fight amongst themselves, more interested in destruction and carnage rather than the final goal. Tullegolites will be united in purity and stronger than the shapers. Surely you can see the superiority of this ideology over any other. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Trakovite ideas are not as noble as they seem. All propaganda and betrayal aside, shaping is still more beneficial than it is destructive. The Shapers have already proved that under a firm and guiding hand, Shaping will cause hardly any destruction at all. For the small price of domination of national affairs, Shapers give much more to the people than they take. They give the people food in the form of ornks and plants, servants and laborers in the form of serviles, they make it possible to live in areas formerly uninhabitable. They protect their people not with troops conscripted from among them, but with creations, willing to die so the people don't have to. They even give the people tools and doors. What is noble about wanting to take this all away? The Trakovites would grind progress to a halt. Don't even get me started on creation rights. That's the whole reason this war started. If only stupid creations would have stayed in their place, there would be no war, no reason for the Trakovites to hate shaping in the first place. -------------------- You lose.

Well I don't have a fancy website to post mine on, and I'm too lazy to make one of them free ones. I actually sent it to Drakey thinking that he would like to put it up on this site with the others but he never responded... probably due to the poor quality. -------------------- You lose.

They would most definitely kill all Shapers. After all, Shapers will never willingly give up their powers, plus there must be some sort of desire for vengeance at the persecution of the Trakovites in the first place. I think the Shapers would be afforded no mercy if somehow the Trakovites found the themselves in power. Such bloodlust is contagious, and soon people would call for the heads of all those responsible for the war, be it directly or indirectly. Shapers, mages, creations, even human soldiers would probably feel the wrath of the aftermath of a Trakovite takeover. The Nazis aren't the only example of this happening in history. Take the French Revolution. They murdered anyone who was a noble or who was suspected of being against the new government. In this respect, the PC would be more likely to be betrayed by the Trakovites in the end, as they would see him as a threat. After all, he is a shaper, shaped, and a former rebel who has been contacted by the Shapers on numerous occasions. For extremists, that's more than enough reason for him to die with the others. The only question remaining is: would Trakovites use a guillotine or would they mass poison their victims? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

You joined the Trakovites because the others were too extreme? Don't you see you've been blinded by Trakovite propaganda? It's not your fault, so don't take offense. They tricked you into thinking that they had a solution for the world's problems. All they really do is point fingers and blame others, not really thinking of the consequences of their actions. They are like the Nazis in every way except for the fact that they haven't starting killing off innocent people... yet. Surely if they had more power, they would murder all Shapers without hesitation. Then it would only be a matter of time before the mages followed, then creations, then who knows. I guess the only other thing the Trakovites are missing is a charismatic evil leader. But hey, if you got your way and the Trakovite ending became canon, then the PC would be a prime candidate for the job! -------------------- You lose.

I'm trying to imagine the kinds of people that would want to join the Trakovites. The first fool that you meet, Drewry, is not even a Shaper. He is most likely jealous of their powers, and, understadably, afraid of it. He lives safe and secure in Dillame, taking for granted the fact that the city's guardians are creations. Since he is not dealing with the war on a day to day basis, it is easy for him to take an extreme radical stand and say that shaping is evil. He is also blind to the good it can do because he is not a Shaper. He just sits in his home moping about acting like he knows something. Typical bleeding heart liberal. "Oh, all the world's problems are caused by shaping so it must be evil and the only way to save the world is to destroy all shaping!" Shut up, moron, or you can go live out in the woods without Shaper protection, and starve when there are no new plants to grow in what’s left of the world’s wasteland. Then there is Khyryk, the tragic hero. The Shapers exiled him, so it is understandable that he has no loyalty to them. But he also sees the evils behind the rebel plot, so he would never join them either. He is left without a third option, until his falls prey to the Trakovites. They fill his head with nonsense, and since there are no other sects around, he joins them. This is also how the Nazis managed to come to power in Germany. People had to choose between the failing government or the communists. Then Hitler came along with his third option, and people joined, despite how extreme it was. So you see, the Trakovites are really just Nazis. You should be ashamed if you agree with them.

Blessing spells use essence to alter people for short amounts of time, whether or not that counts as shaping is in the eye of the beholder. Then these are the battle spells. Why would the Trakovites oppose the destructive qualities of shaping (which are already outweighed by it's beneficial ones) and not oppose the highly destructive powers of magic? -------------------- You lose.

Yeah, you pretty much described how I made it. Now, if only someone could tell me what goes wrong between my copying it from my script and it being turned into a post. Something must change or go wrong somewhere in between those two steps for it to work for me but not other people. Strange that it works for some, but not for others. For the record, when I take what appears in the post and copy it into my script, it doesn't work for me either. So it's UBB's fault, not mine. -------------------- You lose.

I thought that's what mods were for. Unfortunatly, the mods agreed with the points that the people who were throwing around crude insults were making. If it had been me on the other side speaking to people in such a rude manner, I would have been banned so fast. But there is a double standard around here. I believe that's manifest of the arrogance that people have been refering to. [ Saturday, December 16, 2006 13:29: Message edited by: Emperor Tullegolar ] -------------------- You lose.

I think magic is more of a tool used to make shaping possible. If they didn't have magic, they would have to use whatever genetic engineers use today... or dilithium crystals... or something. Since they don't have those things, magic is the tool of choice for essence manipulation , thus some basic understanding of magic must be a prerequisite for any apprentice shaper. -------------------- You lose.

I think I remember reading a description that said augmentation covers you in a shield of pure essence. That wouldn't really be altering your own body, but again, I don't know where Trakovites draw the line as far as essence manipulation goes. -------------------- You lose.

Why try to deny the obvious link between healing and magic? Healing is a skill that Shapers excel in. Agents, masters of magic, suck at healing. But Tullegolar, Jeff probably just put healing under shaping skills to balance the classes. Great, and so our analysis must be built around this decision. Healing is a Shaper art, thus it must have some kind of connection to shaping that spells do not. Furthermore, firebolt is a spell that uses spell points but no essence, so it is possible for magic to exist without any form of essence or shaping whatsoever. But there are no healing spells that require no essence, thus another piece of evidence in support of this theory. -------------------- You lose.

Maybe that's because shaping-healing is far superior. Why abandon powerful healing methods in favor of lesser ones? Come on, even the Anama philosophy is more solid than Trakovite dribble. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

No, healing and shaping are definitely more closely related than magic and shaping. They must be related on some fundamental level to be linked in that you can be strong in healing and shaping but not in magic, and vice versa. So, do the Trakovites only oppose the creation of new life, and that's it? Seems kind of stupid. The point of shaping is creation, while the point of magic is destruction. Why oppose the one and not the other? These people are backwards. In Trakovite Terrestia, shaping opposes you! -------------------- You lose.

You have to keep in mind that the Avernum world and the Geneforge world are different, and they follow totally different 'laws of magic' as well. Perhaps healing is a highly essence intensive skill that has little to do with magic at all, which would be why those who are strong in magic but weak at shaping are not so good at it. Either way, magical spells use essence as well, so it is difficult to draw the line between magic and shaping. This is just another of the many reasons why Trakovite philosophy is flawed madness. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

I have a semi-relevant question. My college requires that I take at least one science course for no good reason at all. I want to take the one that is the least 'sciency.' Any thoughts? My choices are: astronomy, biology, chemisty, physics, and environmental science. Which one is the most right brain friendly? Probably that last one... yes? -------------------- You lose.

Slarty: Fair enough on the area of effect point. I still don't understand the missile attacks question. Firebolt and breath attacks still use up spell points, and they don't recharge in combat so it is possible to run out of them. That only really happens in the begining of the game, but still. I wouldn't have grouped it with Avernum 4 and the neverending supplies of arrows. Secret Doors: I'm with Redstart here. Secret doors suck. Haven't you ever worried that you missed something because of them? Niemand: Don't you think that that feeling of getting lost and not being sure where you were added to the effect? I like the way that the big Avernum map in the game was full of inaccuracies and didn't even help at all in some areas, it added to the feel for me.
