Resistance

I wish people would make new games instead of remaking old games again and again ad naseum! Seriously there are like twelve pokemon games that are almost exactly the same game but with small changes!

That gives me 45.58 kg of gold! Edit: thats only a little more than a large bottle of coke!

He's helped enough, he's helped creating a character sheet and it is my job to create the story which I will do tommorow morning. He's gone now and I've asked his quite a few questions. How much are these gold pieces in weight? And how much did your boat cost?

Skeptic, situational punishments are the best way to do things: so maybe telling a child they can't go out if they're throwing stones at cars, or make them wash the bathroom if they were trashing it, and a slap across the hand if they're doing somethign wrong.

How much do you start with? Moneywise.

Well, I've decided that I want to be king of middle-earth. I'll try to choose a role that will get me into the party quickly like a fisherman or sailor as Archi suggested but whatevers good. Also in deciding items what does everybody need?

Retech has agreed to make me a character because mine wasn't very well-made and I didn't like playing with the disgusting shambles of a character.

I think the best real bet is a quick slap across the face if they do something wrong or give you lip, if they do something really bad then you need to wake them up periodically through the night and remind them how angry you are by shaking them awake and shouting at them; that way they will know that what they have done is wrong and won't do it again because they want to sleep. Although maybe beating them is a bit harsh I still think a light slap is reasonable. I agree with Adraneal to a point in his post regarding them being a doctor, laywer, engineer or scientist: I will discourage my child from doing any liberal media like music and all that if they express an interest in pursuing it as a career, I won't be angry, just dissapointed.

Well Retech, I feel that personally in the ones that I've played there isn't much variation and most wars are a bit generic and there is a certain lack of political things, the only time politics are used seems to be to prove a point of some sort. I think on the maths side its just some basic algorithms, I have quite a bit of time on my hands and I used to write war stories so I'm sure there wouldn't be much of a problem. The game will be based around specialisms and won't be too hard. It will be similar to that hegemony I was telling you about in chat but it will be different. My survival in the hegemony would be probably based around some of my basic decisions towards the start of the game, there would be no way of knowing if I could win or not stacked against other people but I think I probably could survive. The major reason for war seems to be: "I don't like what you're saying so I'm going to attack you to prove a point" so I think thats a major factor in my survival. The dependence my survival would be basically stacked around whether or not people chose there scientific specialities (this game is similar to the one that Stork made but a hegemony one and with no aliens or reason to impress anybody at the end) that would combat mine; people might research things that would combat me and this would leave me quite open.

I've got some time on my hands, if I were to start a hegemony game would anybody join? My idea is that the game would have a high emphasis on technology and public relations so battles and torture and mishaps would need to be covered up. In an attempt to discourage war for the sake of war I'll come up with political scenarios which will increase in difficulty in regards to the current political climate.

Everything is perfect, in the eyes of the crazy-clown rapist who takes you into his shed and uses you as a sex slave and toilet wipe. You're shackled to a wall of the shed and forced to gag on a pair of soiled (and by that I mean doused in brown) pants as he rubs his hairy arse all over you wearing a clown-mask. I wish that I was president of the US of A

1.8 villages Take anything of value, burn the rest! Flint and Steel, Rape and Pillage, Lava Buckets and Swords

You see a green unripe pumpkin and began painting it orange, little do you know that a man is watching you from the woods furiously doing business in the woods and watching you from his binoculours. He lets out a large yelp as the final brown turd drops out of his bottom and you turn around to see him pulling out a gun. The man shoots you in the leg and you fall the the floor and the hot lead burns through your thigh. From your watering eyes you just make out a trouserless and pantless man charging at you in full pelt, donning a green anorak and thick beard. The man gets closer to you and he sticks his finger into your hole and pulls out the bullet. The man then puts on his clown mask and starts wiping him unwiped bottom on your, the fat hairy cheeks rubbing on your nose. And then you find out that your parents have divorced and he is your new father who absoloutely hates ripe fruit to a point that he is willing to rape people to prove his point (but he gets away with it because he's so hilarious). Anyway, every friday you see a clown peering through your window. I wish for a massive watermelon.

People have different ideas of what is enjoyable, in this case a maniac finds this sort of thing enjoyable. You are led into a small room with a tight chain around your neck, your legs are shackled and your neck aches from the thick metal clamp around it. You're thrown into the room of the faceless man and he pulls out a long thin knife which he uses to cut out your eyelids, he then takes a large 120 lumen torch and puts it at your eyes blinding you and hurting you. He then pours lemon juice on you and it sears through, burning your cut eyes and saw neck. As you are drenched in the shower of lemon he begins making tiny incisions in you with his small knife. After that he gets an iron and starts burning you with it, cauterizing the 2 inch cuts all over your body as he calls you abusive names etc. I wish to eat some nice untainted-chocolate pancakes without choking in a nice resturant with many friendly people around.

People will pirate things that cost no money what-so-ever. Recently an indie developer released the sales figures for his game, and even figured out how many copies were pirated. Even when people didn't have to pay a cent, they pirated it. Not really piracy then, is it.

Its a valid question, why did nobody kill Uther or his obviously suspicious wife played by that actor in transformers.

I wouldn't have picked Uther up, he's a dick.

I was going to make a bigger point but I decided not to.

Hi.

Obviously a fantasy lol.

I will generally avoid anything with 'anime-manga' style drawing; to me it seems that it is synonymous with cliché storylines, angst and whining, forced female roles. I'm not being sexist but you know what I mean.

The point that Roccodog is making is correct: many of the people who pirate wouldn't be able to afford 2.4K for a CAD package or may not be willing to buy Microsoft office for £230, the point is that the product is not going to be brought by that user. And so the company gets nothing. How is it any different if it is pirated?

I'd live in a hobbit hole if it was free.

Nexaduro that is incorrect.

They would've backed my comic book makers if they were any good. Mather, people will read anything if its free. It doesn't mean that if they could read comics online they wouldn't. MissingNo. Good point however: People go on R/Rage and read these every day, it doesn't mean they're better or have substance - they're just all funny one-liners.
