Shapers keeping secrets in Geneforge Series
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Thursday, September 28 2006 15:34 Profile Homepage #166 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: There is always the chance that a leader will be a complete lunatic. This is why Tullegolite philosophy supports violent overthrowing of the government. If a lunatic does take power, it is the duty of each and every citizen to make sure that he is taken out of commission as soon as possible. Yes, but then there would be absolute chaos as almost everyone scrambles for that position. Everything would break down into anarchy. The new leader would have quite a task on his or her hands, trying to restore order. That's if some rebel group doesn't decide to use the situation to their advantage and make some sort of power play.

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Thursday, September 28 2006 10:45 Profile Homepage #163 Actually, now that I think about it... It wasn't that they seemed saner, it was almost as if they had lost their personalities. Which could be very dangerous. Of course, I may be way off the mark here. No matter what kind of government you try to set up, it will always have it's shortcomings. Tullegolar pointed out the problem with a democracy. The problem with absolute rule is if the leader is corrupt or insane, evrything starts falling apart. With a republic, while everything will start out fine, some of people with power will invariably become corrupt. These numbers will grow, untill eventually the whole system is corrupt. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Wednesday, September 27 2006 14:19 Profile Homepage #152 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: My point is that the drakon geneforges didn't seem to make the drakons that used them crazy. This opens up the possibility of a human geneforge that doesn't make you crazy. There's something you're forgetting. Drayks, and by extension Drakons, are some of the most strong-minded creations out there. In fact, they are probably more stable mentally than humans. Therefore, it could just be a strong will that keeps them in the relative realm of sanity. Besides, the geneforge for Drakons is massively different from the human geneforge. For example, the geneforge in GF1 did not have body parts floating in it. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Wednesday, September 27 2006 06:35 Profile Homepage #17 In the Avernum series, gorgons trap your characters in a forcecage. Or beat them into a pulp. In my scenario, there are Brutal gorgons, who's hits paralyze you, and gorgon lords, who petrify you. Gorgon lords come closest to the greek myth of gorgons. Gorgons were... well actually, all you need to know is that Medusa was a gorgon. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Shapers keeping secrets in Geneforge Series
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Tuesday, September 26 2006 17:43 Profile Homepage #147 quote: Originally written by Randomizer: The shapers who used the geneforge in the endings of GF1 all seem to lose control. The apprentice playing GF1 hasn't got enough training to control his changes. The other shapers seem to all have personality disorders that were magnified by using it. These maybe be part of the shaper's arrogance that is manifest in GF3 when the apprentice makes demands for free supplies, etc. There seems to be hints that most shapers are normally this way. I think this pretty much sums it up. The slightest flaw in someones personality can leave them unhinged after using the geneforge. When the geneforge can be used without the person becoming a genocidal doomsday weapon, then by all means, have everyone use it. Untill then, distribute small quantities of canisters. quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: As for magnifying personality disorders: I must point out the Drakons in Geneforge 2 and 3. They went from being cruel and unreasonable to actually deciding to spare your life after you helped them. This is good evidence for the possibility of perfecting geneforge technology to not make you crazy. I'll point out that, in GF2 and 3, they remain cruel and unreasonable. Only now, they are cruel, unreasonable, and very powerful. Nasty combo. quote: As for people being gods: who says they can not be benevolent ones? Once they have all the power in the world they will have little else to do other than reflect on such things as philosophy and good leadership. Only then will they be truly perfect, true gods. There could be a few benevolent ones. But most of them would be to busy trying to get more power to care. Besides, if they all have the same power, they're no longer gods, are they? :P [ Tuesday, September 26, 2006 17:45: Message edited by: Nioca ] -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Tuesday, September 26 2006 17:14 Profile Homepage #145 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: Testing for Canisters: I do not approve of canisters, for they are not strong enough. Also, Randomizer is right, could the testers be bribed? Could someone fake sanity? Most likely. Canisters are not the answer. More research into the geneforge is what's needed! And who better to build new and improved geneforges than someone who has partaken of one themselves? True, but it takes power to get power. The canisters, while dangerous, are a decent middle ground, so long as they're controlled. quote: Cult: An interesting thought, though I believe no cult would be necessary. In the world of Geneforge, the only gods the people will ever need are themselves. :eek: YIKES! :eek: Hundreds of people with limitless power unleashing their wrath on each other, with no consideration for anyone caught in the middle, is asking for trouble. There were a few places in the Geneforge series where the zone was a desolate wasteland because of power-hungry warlords. If every person held this power, the only thing left of that world will be a few scattered desert islands. In other words, Armageddon. That said, I was hoping I wouldn't get dragged into this. This already was a difficult issue, but Emperor Tullegolar always seems to be able to counter you, no matter how clever your argument is. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!
