Ross, Its a funny looking toy to them, remember. and to look down the barrel like most ofthem would do, they would end up brushing the trigger, blowing their brains out. Swords are the same, but a little less deadly to yourself scince they don't launch a metallic projectile at high velocity at a target, which could be your face.

[Seraphi]

Look, we're just repeating the same argument to each other over and over, the equivilent to two brick walls falling towards each other. Neither one is ever going to fall, so I'll reiterate for a final time and then leave it at that.

 

I personally think that if you dropped a firearm, be it a rifle, shotgun, revolver, or rocket launcher, into a medieval persons home, they would be able to work out what it does using that good old fashioned human logic, deductive ability, and comfort reflex. They pick up the device, not necessarily pointing the barrel immediately to their face, which you seem to be assuming would happen, and then they fiddle with it until their grasp on it is comfortable. Their grasp is only comfortable when they hold it in the proper fashion, due to it being shaped in such a way that if you hold it in any other way, it's going to be jabbing you or you wont be able to grip it properly. They then start messing around with it, and eventually work out that the little pointy thing makes it explode. From the hole in their window, they work out that something must be coming out of the tube, and try to fire it again. They obviosuly don't point it at their face because they know something comes out of the end. Instead, they point it at a vase. The vase shatters, and in the remnants they find a small metal capsule. Through basic logic they work out that this capsule must be what came out of the end of the gun.

 

See? You're assuming that they'll always point it towards themselves, but if they've never seen it before, they're just as likely to point it at the ground or the sky.

And there's a flaw in my argument, especially if we're talking something as unweildy as a shotgun or RPG.. But in all honesty i'm going to engineer a situation, if it's going to be set in medival times, that will prevent people from using guns that early. It's not fair, nor is it usefull to have the game ended in 5 days.

[archimage_a]

Sufficing to say(I won't continue arguing because there are no constant points, so we can both be right and both be wrong.) that logic is subjective, thus basing a game on 'Logic' means 'based on what I believe to be true'.

 

If you go around saying 'Oh, everyone hated Black Magic' then you are obviously wrong. The Pagans, for example...the Aztexs, with their blood sacrifices...One person dying is nothing major.

 

Going 'People don't know how to use a gun' is also flawed...since someone obviously made it, so they know how to use it...If you were going to be difficult then I would just take a slightly longer route...Example, I would blow up gunpowder outside of a chamber(Which is not overly dangerous), I would then invent hydraulics, so inventing the idea of pressure...then I would put the gunpowder in a container with 5 fixed sides, one movable side, and a fuse, see what happened after lighting the fuse.

Then I would load a projectile on movable side. Thus inventing the gun...and knowing the power of hydraulics and gunpowder, I would not point it at my face.

 

Now, obviously you can have the gun blow up, which will just have me refine the method down until you have no alternatives to break logic or give me guns.

 

Also...You have stated that Discontent and Patriotism have increased...What are their levels now?

 

 

You would need to keep alot of notes which would lead to alot of arguements, some of which you will lose...you need to be ready to admit you are wrong occassionally...winning every argument will lose you the argument.

You know, i'm doubting the logic of starting this conversation up when the game isn't going to happen.

[Seraphi]

Arguing for arguings sake is one of the best ways to learn.

 

Although if it turns into a contest of who can slam their face into the others the hardest, then something went wrong somewhere.

Very true...

[Earth]

Agreed. Let's just leave it as is.

[The_Mather1]

Agreed. Let's just leave it as is.

Translated: "Yes, arguying is a good way of learning... let's stop doing that."

[Earth]

No, mather, Translate it into "We've taken the argument a bit over the top, let's stop going around in circles." Just because I have shown that i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, (Which you can't claim either) Doesn't mean that i don't want to learn.

[The_Mather1]

I'm not the sharpest tool either, but to be blunt I'm the one with the oddest edge. Double pun intended.

Curse you quest for gold and power which drew me back into the Minotaur's Fireball+Electric Field of DOOM...

I lost my magic hat, rope and shovel...as well as my meat mountain...

 

 

Ah well, life goes on, TO THE FRIDGE!

[Earth]

I may try Tibia again, but it doesn't interest me much.

[Ieyfura]

Wow, guys....seriously? Sere was trying to make a game, which from the first post looks like he put time into it. Next time just play the game instead of single line irrelevant posts.

 

/end rant

Naming a game after the female genitals, when there is no need to(It is not even a constellation), shifts the emphasis considerably.

 

Also, LARPing? I can't see a Live Action Roleplay taking place over the interweb...

[The Dark Lord]

Okay, it seems like a few of you were being immature about this. Anyway, Tripsis allowed me to change the name and repost the topic.

[The_Mather1]

Hex was the only one who acted immaturely.

 

Look at the Demos on steam, there's an RTS called Hegemony there. Possible Tavern game?

Poor little cat just got injured...Managed to wrap the string we were playing with, around one of her claws then tried to run off, so she hissed.

Doesn't seem to be any damage, but I gave her a pile of cheese and is happy. Silly mouse-cat. :rolleyes:

Immature? If I called it the Penis chronicles, would you think that was strange?

More like Penos chronicle, he missed by a letter.

Well my cat has been stressed because of my new dog. My new dog barks and scares it, so it's nervous all the time.

 

Good kitty but he gets nervous around dogs and strangers. When people come over to pet him, he runs under my bed and vomits.

[archimage_a]

It was spelled correctly, though he mispelled minoris.

[The_Mather1]

I thought it was spelled with i, not a.

[archimage_a]

That would have been Libia, which is a mispelling of Libya...

[The_Mather1]

I thought he had an y in there too...

[archimage_a]

Yup, I remember now, it was Libyan...Gosh Darn those eyes of everyone except Mather, always playing tricks on us.
