My apologies to DV for the gender error, which I have amended in my last post. I thought I remembered an old exchange in the Geneforge forum, before G2 came out, in which one member referred to herself as the 'rogue creation (daughter)' of another, and (as I recalled) mentioned the other as her mother. (Since I have a small daughter myself now, the 'rogue creation' line kind of stuck with me.) I further had the impression that DV was one of these people; obviously I was wrong. It's the cosmic rays, they've had too long to work on my DNA.

Nazism is a shortened form of national socialism-- in other words dictatorial socialism.

I thought nazis were facist, and sincee facism is the opposite of socialism, how can they be both? Do they have some of the ideals of socialism that facism isn't against? Does socialism have any ideals that facism isn't against?

On the other hand, the women on these boards already enjoy playing cRPGs, so that's one enormous hurdle cleared for the men here.

Populism is the worst excuse to use for anything. If people like your scenario and populism is the raison d'etre, then the designers are neutered, the community slowly McCarthyizes itself into a circle-jerk mindset, and quality becomes a non-issue overall. The audience becomes less and less of an active observer, and you're left with nothing but action-packed, sex-central TV dramas with catch phrases and cliches.

Umm, Thuryl, by “nutrient fluid” I meant breast milk, but the response was funny. The ways to be touched had some sexual intention to it.

Hmm, four ways to be touched. Okay, hugged, kissed, caressed , and I'll let you guys think of the final way. I said four because that's how many options there were in the game.
