Republican, Democrat, etc. in General
Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Sunday, November 23 2003 18:40 Profile #67 Mass graves, Alec. Bush assumed that people would be more in favor of war if he made it seem like we, the American citizens, not they, the Iraqi citizens, were threatened; maybe he was right. Whether or not Americans would have been less supportive of a war to save foreigners is not the issue, though; Bush made a mistake, he emphasized the wrong problem. Rather than presenting the fact that Saddam has killed thousands of his own people and his neighbors for nothing more than looking at him the wrong way, Bush decided to present the assumption that Saddam currently has (or had, at the time the war started) WMD. The former he could have presented as it is, the latter he had to greatly exaggerate. He performed the task of removing an evil dictator who kills for the joy of killing, and I agree with him on that. The problem is that he went about it the wrong way, which basically turned world opinion against us, aside from the normal resent-the-guy-who's-stronger-and-in-control mentality of most people. That is one of the reasons I don't call myself a Republican, or a Bush-supporter, even though I was, and still am, pro-war. EDIT: I say "greatly exaggerate", and not "fabricate", because of the fact that Saddam kicked inspectors out in the 90's. If he really had nothing bad, what was he afraid of? I know you've said that he did that just to make people afraid, but that makes no sense either; he's smart enough to realize that there are people stronger than him who could, and would, kill him out of fear. Whether or not he had them when Bush said he did, I don't know; but just because we haven't found them yet doesn't mean that they do not exist now, and never did exist. If he did indeed have them and then dismantled them to avoid conflict, wouldn't he provide proof of that to the world? The alternative to all this is that he's suicidal, but that doesn't seem all that likely to me.

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Wednesday, November 19 2003 17:27 Profile #65 With that, I agree; "robot wars" are much better on paper than in real life. And anyway, what about terrorists? They're not going to send their robots in just to destroy other robots, believe me... As for the rest, I had no idea Spiderweb had gotten this big; it took me 30 minutes to read everything from my last post to the end of Alec's most recent post, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were already another post before mine by the time I'm done with this. (Yeah, yeah, I know, I've already said that before... but really, it didn't seem this big before.) Alec: I support big government, graduated income tax (i.e. more tax for the rich, not less), homeland improvement (schools, medicine, etc.), and I actually do sympathize with the poor. Yes, of course, compared to the average Spiderwebber, I am a fanatic right-wing Christian fundamental. But the average Spiderwebber is further left than the average American, and the average human, probably, so you really can't judge by that. On the Political Compass, I am liberal (when I asked if anyone knew of other tests that could help, you mocked me for it, implying that I was a liberal in denial.) Basically, I am a moderate. I lean to the right, sure, but I am still a moderate. You may be insulted by my implacation that you eat propaganda, but you apparently didn't consider that I might be insulted by your implacation that I have not changed at all since I left Spiderweb, or since I first came to Spiderweb, even. I have changed, hopefully for the better; please do not assume that I am on the verge of a repeat of my rant about anime. I will respond to the more important arguments tomorrow, if I get the chance, but for now I'll just say this: It's not a lie if you beleive it's true. Bush honestly believed that Saddam had WMD's. No, he did not have enough proof; yes, he should have checked his facts. But he really believed that Saddam had WMD's, based on several factors including Saddam's unwillingness to allow international inspectors the access they required in the 90's, and the widely-known massacres of his own people. Bush beleived it, I believed it, and a surprisingly large number (to some) of others believed it too, Bush or no Bush. Maybe he was wrong, maybe he was right, but he did not lie. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Graphics or a good story? in General
Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Friday, November 14 2003 13:47 Profile #37 I think of good gameplay as the base, with plot above that and graphics above that. But in my opinion, a game should have all three. Gameplay's definitely the most important, and awesome graphics don't make up for a bad plot, but I get tired very quickly of games with bad graphics. Call me an eye candy addict, but games are just so much better when they have good graphics. That's the main reason I prefer Avernum to Exile; the graphics are better, in my opinion. It's also why I like Ambrosia; good graphics. If you're going to make a game, why shouldn't it have all three? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I've been meaning to learn programming for a while now but I always forget to look for a good tutorial... and anyway, I figure that it would be better to get recommendations than just downloading random stuff from Google.

Republican, Democrat, etc. in General
Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Friday, November 14 2003 13:26 Profile #10 I said Independant, because I really don't want to be associated with a political party unless it is in the center. Democrat = Left, Republican = Right, Sir David = Center, therefore Democrat * Sir David and Republican * Sir David. I'm sure some of you will call that B.S. because anyone who believes in God and thinks that the war in Iraq is necessary is a radical conservative ( ) but really, I am a moderate/centrist/whatever you want to call it. I'm not old enough to vote, and unless something changes between now and then I will probably end up registering as a Republican, because I do lean to the right; I'm not perfectly centered, obviously. I am unsurprised to find that most of you are not vote-inside-the-lines type people... or at least according to the poll, you're not. That's good, because I despise vote-inside-the-lines people, Democrat or Republican. As for Bush, Blair, Iraq, the economy... *sigh* all I can say is How the hell did the media find so many idiots with decent writing/reporting skills? OK, I lied, that's not all I can say. But seriously, from the newspapers you'd think that the world is about to explode and Bush is sitting on the TNT lever. Really, people, it's not as bad as you think. Can you say "yellow journalism"? The fact is that newspapers sell more, and news channels get more viewers, when the news is bad. Therefore, our economy which "hasn't been this bad since the Depression" is actually on the rise; the "angry mobs of Iraqi citizens" are actually a small minority, and Bush, though he may not be the smartest man in the world, is not a complete idiot. But why am I saying this? Please, people, if Spiderweb has become more open-minded since I left, let me know. If not, if they are still listening only to liberal views and calling the rest B.S. before it shows up on the screen, then I think I'll stay away from debates. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Tuesday, November 11 2003 13:49 Profile #13 For the record, I loved Matrix Revolutions. Good man, Motrax. I really don't know why I loved it, I just did. And the whole series, actually. I'm not going to bother defending it, since I can't anyway, but hey. I walked out happy; whether that's the point or not, I don't know, or care. The Frenchman was an idiot, though, and the philosophy sucked more than usual in the second; I'd love to fix those parts.

Some Motrax Poetry in General
Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Saturday, November 8 2003 08:54 Profile #14 But Motrax, sly Motrax, Thought he was forgotten, That Sir Dave himself Would spoil him rotten. But Motrax's demise Is the grisliest of all; It involves rather more Than just a long fall. That senile reptile Sat home one day; Spiderweb games He thought he'd play. He turned on his computer, And opened Avernum One, And was pulled into the story, Which had only just begun. Motrax became Motrax, Man became Dragon, And thanks to this event, His sanity was flaggin'. Of this game, which he had played, And rarely had decisted, Motrax now became a part; Inside, he now existed. He gathered his wits And observed the plight Of the tortured, unhappy Avernites. He used his fire And infinite wisdom To help these people Establish their kingdom. But then, when his pupils Killed Emporer Hawthorne, He was soon given A reason to mourn. For a great war began, Between surface and caves, And many good people Were sent to their graves. At this time, also, A team was sent. On Motrax's destruction, The team was bent. Motrax's cave Was quickly found By this vile team Sent underground. With flash of sword, And burst of flame, Death and Destruction Quickly came. The team was burnt, And on the ground; Behind them, old Motrax's Corpse was found. The lizard still breathed, But his body was scarred; Poor old Motrax Would live not too far. The war was won, With the lizard's advice; But Motrax's suffering Multiplied twice. Avernites breathed The surface air, But never again Would Motrax go there. For he died in a hole, Of wounds from the battle In his old cave Among all his chattel. And Motrax was mourned, By game people and real; For poor Motrax's story Had been told with zeal. His fate was discovered In the world without, And the danger of Spiderweb Was known without doubt. This poor boy, Just a player of games, Had been turned to a dragon, Despite all claims. He was sucked in, Absorbed and killed, And with guilt, good Jeff Vogel was filled. And this is the story of Motrax's demise; I promised to tell it, And I tell no lies. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Let the RPs die? in General
Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Wednesday, November 5 2003 17:20 Profile #7 What about partial banning? Is that possible? For instance, if a member is vaguely annoying but not bannably so normally, but also ruins every RP he or she participates in, can't that member be banned just from that one topic? Or if they can't actually be banned, then at least completely ignored? I suggested the second idea when Zephyr first came here, but NaCN and several other members continued to respond to their posts, so it didn't work out. But maybe you should give it another shot. Unless it is possible to ban members from specific topics, in which case that should be done instead. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Friday, October 24 2003 16:32 Profile #30 I don't see why it has to be a decision between good graphics and good gameplay. I love good graphics, but they seem empty without a good game to go with them; similarly, I get tired of a good game with bad graphics after a while. A good game with good graphics would bring Jeff plenty of money; the only problem is the money during programming, so if BoA is a huge success with plenty of new customers each week, then I'd say he's got the perfect oppurtunity to make it big. If BoA isn't as big a success as hoped, there's still GF3, and then the one after that, etc. Basically, if Jeff has a surplus of time and money, he could make something great, for everyone. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Monday, October 20 2003 18:20 Profile #28 I love dreams, but since I have approximately 1.2 minutes left before I should get off the computer, I don't have time to read any. I'm sure there are weirder already posted, but I remember when I was about 5, I had a dream with all these cheering people on a beach, and I dove into the water along with some other people, and a big white whale... for some reason... like... a sperm whale, not Moby Dick... anyway, so we swan down to the bottom, without any kind of scuba gear or anything, and entered a castle underwater, where some people were imprisoned. We freed them, but while everyone was escaping, I was caught by two shaggy-headed guys with clubs that I now realize looked exactly like Warriors in CivII. The were beating me with their clubs, but I was ecstatic, and could not be hurt, for some reason. Yeah. That's about it. I've also had flying dreams, and I must say, if I had three wishes, I think wings would probably be my first. Yes, I believe in dream interpretation, no, I will not translate yours =] Also yes, I have heard that dreams are random firing of the synapses, but, like I said, I don't have the time to explain or read right now. EDIT: OK, maybe I have more than 1.2 minutes =] I also had a dream that started off with some kind of Avernum 2 quest, and ended up with me jumping on the laps of the last row in my school band, suspended 25 feets above the ground, in order to save a young couple from falling... it didn't work out too well... actually, now that I think about it, I've had a lof of A2 and D2 and EV2 dreams... don't know why... ok, maybe I do...
