I love that. What is it from?

lol. Yea, I never got that. "omg! he's fondling my goodies, I must defend my honor!" I was so happy when they patched that message out so I could finally inspect everyone without that bullshit.

I refuse to explain how that's better. I don't think it is, and I don't think it's a plausible outcome. I'm not going to advocate for some third position for your benefit.

Dude the incubation period was clearly 10 milliseconds from the beginning. This is clearly illustrated by absolutely nothing at all. It's not like they spent a significant amount of time uncovering patient zero who suffered over a long period. If they did, I was taking a piss and it's their...

Someone who tweets get on there and shit on Tyen for trying to represent the community with that handle. That's some bullshit. I'm still not 100% behind ditching the old site, but he's implying that he is all of us with that nonsense. Brad probably isn't current with our situation.

No, I didn't miss your point tad. I responded to it fully. It was the majority of my essay above. I also responded to the possibility of FOTM problems, and how every other game regardless of its class design suffers the same problem to varying degrees.

The same problem plagues talent trees. It even plagues games without choices, but you don't see the accumulation of dependence on the FOTM in such a quick timespan. Any unbalanced contribution is going to become favored unless adjusted. In EQ you had no choices how your class operated, but...

Well if you can just steal the one ability that would otherwise force you to perform an entire swap, itcouldbe the best of both worlds.

This is where I see their angle for classes (and day to day gameplay - sans PvP). I want dozens of small, hyper-specialized classes that fit an archetypal role. I don't like big rambling classes with various potential strengths like WoW's. WoW has a class system, and then an archetype system...

My mind is full of fuck. Esplain Lucy.

Returned and Leftovers both sound like some religious claptrap to me. That's my kryptonite. Both of them set off my god-dar. <-- I need something more clever than that.

No, it wasn't, but I'm fine with being able to fix all your mistakes over time. I'm not necessarily fine with swapping classes/skills anywhere/anytime. I'm curious to see how that develops. EVE makes you dock to swap ships. Guild Wars had you enter town to swap skills and companions. The...

Well then you're fucking retarded. I was going to support that statement, but I decided you did that job for me. Gracias. Maybe they don't even know yet. Game ain't even in alpha. Nuance comes later.

That video was them explaining why they're avoiding a situation where you're faced with important decisions when you aren't properly informed. That's simple and makes sense. There's also a balance issue layered onto the situation they didn't really get into. If X+M is the best combo for...

Yea, that's happened. Shit could go down. It could be some epic transgression. But this isn't that, yet. If it doesn't become that then it's nothing.

I want a new pirates and railroad tycoon damnit. All the railroad games that come out now are regurgitated vehicle sims, and pirates are barely a thing.

I thought Alpha House was a fun look at the daily routine of politics. It seemed more down to earth and plausible than either of those two. I hope we get more of it very soon.

I think you want "strike" forthat. And you fixed it before I said anything.

Hopefully they patch in some improvements to that before it gets to PC. Y'all make this game sound like the second coming, but I'm not getting a dated console just to try it.

Ulduar. It was a piece of art. Top to bottom elegant and fun. PvP, mid-sized (ex:200vs.200) fleet actions in EVE I guess. Shadowbane had too many issues and I don't really care for small scale combat like arenas and BGs.

The requirement for a search warrant is not the same as the protection against suspicion. It's a limit on what action can be taken based upon suspicion. Suspicion is a thought. The militias suspect the government of being tyrannical. They form these groups. The government suspects these...

Yes, you could. But it doesn't seem like the fed is doing anything to stop the formation or expansion of groups created on the basis of these opinions/beliefs. They're just watching them.

EQ-style raiding = no vs. multi-group content = yes. I don't know how to parse that. That's pretty damn vague. I'm not going to bother rebutting the other responses. I don't know why I bothered to argue with the trogs. Y'all can return to your regular retardation.

I don't know why you keep bringing up thinking and thought police. There is no provision in the first amendment that protects thoughts. Furthermore, there is no protection against suspicion, and as I said, that would be naive. Monitoring their activities is not necessarily interference. They...

Well clearly! If EQ used more colors and added exclamation points it would jump to 12 million users for a few years. Those guys at SOE are even more stupid than they seem.

I'd have to see it to believe it.

Freedom to assemble isn't freedom from suspicion. That's naive. We let the KKK walk down the street and the only thing the cops do is protect them from assault by onlookers. These forest dwelling gunmen are by their nature mysterious. Their intentions and ability to act on them are big...

What made EQ special was being first. That's it. WoW is special because it's better. Better than what? EverQuest and every other dikumud then and since. Action RPGs are probably the future, but being first doesn't count when the market is awash in average dikumud successors. For action...

Nope, I'm not listed there. That last one is iffy. I don't know exactly what that means, but /shrug. Holocaust deniers and hitler worshipers are also considered potential terrorists. I feel that's appropriate. Anti-government militia groups that meet in the forest around some amateur fort...

The Senate won't pass it, so the house's position is irrelevant. The two things are unrelated.

Well it's probably the entire reason Studio 60 flopped. A news studio is a better environment for platitudes than a live comedy show, but the white house is the best he's done so far. He should consider doing politicians again when the newsroom ends. Maybe a spinoff of The West Wing about...

Pirates for the fucking win. That 100 shit sounds cool, but the CW adapting it sounds terrible.

The world economy doesn't stop on a dime. Internationally very little would change in the near term, but the voices looking to diminish our effect on the world economy would become more persuasive, and international agreements would reflect this. China has already been making big changes since...

The sorkinism is still strong with this one. The back and forth about credibility with Law and Order dude and management in the last few episodes of the season is an orgy of the stuff.

I hope it fixes the crash in my Rome game. For some reason on Sagartium's turn after I end my turn, the game crashes. This is around 120 BC when I hold 90% of the former roman empire, so I'd like to finish. Is the only way to subjugate a large realm through a peace treaty? I haven't tried...

Still no inflation, and austerity has been performing poorly across the pond. We're fine. Inflation is like the new apocalypse. Folks keeps screaming "it's coming!", and yet...no inflation. This nonsense has been going on since at least QE1. Also, can't vote with those options.

Tea party = extreme, but fascists are merely far? Libertarians are LESS right than the tea party? Pelosi = extreme, but communists and socialists are merely far? Communism is dying and fascism is dead, both because their implementation is/wasextreme. I don't think you're using extreme...

Yep

He was a government spy? I thought he was just like an inspector for the U.N. or something.
