quote:How do you reconcile this with the problem of evil, the mainstream solution to which is to give free will an absolutely paramount position in religious moral philosophy -- that is, that it's best for people to be able to make the wrong choice rather than to take that choice away from them? In fact, one could make a good case that as a Christian it's your moral duty to give other people as many opportunities to sin as possible. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

You probably shouldn't save them as JPG; it makes them blurry. GIF or PNG works better. At the moment the format really hurts the quality of the small poses. But it seems as if they'll look pretty nice once you've fixed that. [ Saturday, October 08, 2005 19:34: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

And even if that didn't bother you, I doubt that anybody knows how to make that specific change anyway. Sorry. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:Actually, a descendant of PernAngband still exists, although most of the Pern references have been fiddled around a bit so they're not so obvious, and it's been renamed. It's now called ToME. As far as BoE goes, there was also a scenario named Nightfall based on the Isaac Asimov book of the same name, which was really good, and a scenario named Blade of the Jedi set in the Star Wars universe, which really wasn't. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

If you provide a premade party, the player shouldn't change anything about it. They can, but they're not supposed to, and if they don't honour your polite request that they refrain from doing so, well, that's not your fault. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I am almost certain that no such call exists. Why would you want to know this, anyway? Trying to create a duplicate of a party member or something? (Of course, one way around it is to provide a premade party for your scenario, in which case you know what graphics they have.)

Turning the party to stone and back instead of killing them worked in BoE, but I think that in BoA that still produces a sound effect.

quote:It occurs to me that one thing nearly everyone with an interest in politics agrees on is that power of any kind is dangerous and nobody can really be trusted with much of it. The only real disagreement is on which kinds of power are least harmful; after all, an unregulated corporation can develop political and economic power comparable in scale to that of a government, and is arguably more likely to abuse that power for its own ends. quote:Women with unwanted pregnancies are just as much a part of society as anyone else. The question isn't whether society should bear the cost; it's which part of society should bear the cost. quote:Most unwanted pregnancies occur in people who have at least been attempting to use contraception. Contraceptive methods aren't perfect and neither are the people who use them. It would seem that some sympathy for their position is not unjustified. After all, we don't abandon people who engage in other behaviours that result in their needing medical assistance later on. Smokers who develop lung cancer are still entitled to the same degree of health care as any other member of the population, and so are obese people who develop heart disease. And before you suggest that these groups should be cut off from publicly-funded medical treatment too, consider that practically everyone engages at least some risky behaviours. For example, I'm studying to be a biologist. In the course of my career I'm likely to spend a fair amount of time working with radiation and carcinogenic chemicals, increasing my risk of developing various forms of cancer. Suppose I develop cancer later in life. Since I have voluntarily engaged in a behaviour which is known to carry certain risks, should my entitlement to public funding for my treatment be reduced by an amount corresponding to that increased risk? See, that's why we have publicly-funded health care in the first place; everyone takes risks, but only some people suffer the adverse effects of those risks. Not everyone who forgets to take a contraceptive pill gets pregnant, not everyone who smokes develops cancer, and not everyone who goes mountain climbing falls and breaks a leg, but some do, and it's only fair that the lucky ones should share the burden of the unlucky ones.

Hmm. To minimise the chance that the party will lose items, make sure there are no other items (or at least, as few as possible) in the same town as the party when they die. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:This is easy to say when one isn't faced with the choice between a lousy job and not being able to feed one's family. There are some situations which are so inherently open to coercion that a fair contract can't exist in them; if you find a starving man lost in the desert and offer him food, water and a trip home on the condition that once he gets home he gives you everything he owns, I don't think it's fair for him to be held to his end of the bargain. quote:Parents choose. Children don't. That's the problem. There are, in my opinion, some choices which parents do not have a right to make on behalf of their children -- indoctrinating them in a particular religion, or sending them off to a school that will do the same, is one of them.
