This was one of my favorite parts of being a raid leader :P I guess it's just a difference in preferences. I'm the nerd that likes to build a deck more than play it. So, I used to love organizing equipment and building goals to make us more effective. In UO, this always appealed to me, keeping...

One of the quickest growing genres literally relies on this. So I don't think I'd agree with this. The key is setting up your loot and equipment system to facilitate it. Item loss in a game like Archeage, would suck ass. In a game designed conducive to it? It could be as exciting as any of the...

As Draeg said, the biggest advantage to Equip loss on death, is rewarding strategic thinking. Guilds with armories where they have caches of swords and armor? Will have huge advantages in terms of reequipping and getting men back out onto the field, or building up a counter attack. That kind of...

Yeah, this added another layer onto UO and made it more about strategy then minute to minute stuff. As Draegan said, longer term consequences became something you had to weight. Every fight cost resources, losses cost a bit--was it worth it to engage and have to resupply? It not only forced you...

Yeah, he said he was taking off from writing the show and conventions so he could focus on the book.

Well, this is a yes and no for me. Like the whole laws about birth control? Yeah, probably. But there are plenty of laws which are biased very much in favor of women, too. I think overall it's a case by case basis, depending. But that doesn't refute the main thrust of the argument. Not just...

Right? I think thisis the major reason she's out of luck. If you were raped, as traumatizing and confusing as that is? Don't text the person a week later with "miss u! Luv u! Want you inside me again!" I mean, preferably as Cad said, struggle a little so there are marks, but I can understand...

Btw, from earlier...just catching up. Your view is biased (As you admitted). Police have specially trained sexual assault units. Hospitals have staff trained in sexual assault. We have anonymous and non-anon sexual hotlines and advocacy groups. Society is brimming with methods to support women...

This I actually tend to agree with you on. Rape is like DV--people almost don't recognize it anymore because the media only talks about sensational stories where one side is clearly brutal and mean, while the other side is perfect and helpless. That's why the UVA was a "slam dunk" rape story...

btw, here is that pitch, it's why I think he made the coke Ad. Done finally realized he was right at the end. You are okay. If you can believe that, you can be happy. I think that's what the final scene was about, and then he sold it :P.

After watching it? I loved the final. Thought it was excellent. And while it did feel like a bit of en epilogue, it was nice to get confirmations on how all the characters turned out. It looks like life keeps on spinning. It was nice to finally get a series end that wasn't totally dark, like...

There is a certain amount of victimization everyone needs to accept (Or take personal responsibility to avoid) to maintain a decent check against oppression, yes. I'm sure we'd all be safer if police put booths on every street that forced people to stop and show papers. But is it worth the trade...

Mist, when men used to be lynched for rape, do you think it was a crowd of women who did it? Like did a bunch of women get enraged, go find the guy and string him up? LOL...No, typically when men hear of someone being raped they get enraged, it's reviled and some of the most famous cases of...

If we have video evidence of it? I believe it's rape. The law is already reconciled with that in states where there is marital rape (In the states where there isn't? I think there should be). So, not sure why you felt that question was pertinent. The law in most states guarantees a woman...

I have responded to this, you avoided and tried to circle back your argument because you're being childish and realize your point was stupid. Not so much predictable, as you are juvenile. The irony here Mist is that while the rest of us argued over burdens of proof, but always said if we had the...

If you have sufficient evidence Mist, rape is already easy to prove. The problem is there often times is not sufficient evidence. We don't have cameras in people's rooms. Again, how is this hard? Have you ever been in a court room, at all? Ask Cad. I GUARANTEE if you were able to show a...

No, unpleasant sex--and crying while being held down can encompass a MASSIVE range of things. Having sex with a headache can be unpleasant, it's not rape. You're attempting to be overly broad and leaving out crucial, easily visible details to salvage some kind of point because you jumped the gun...

I said it was rape because I believe that is rape.Being able to prove it is rape are two different things. How is this hard? Throughout this WHOLE thread we've been talking about proof. Proving something in a marriage is difficult, yes. I'm a proponent of marital rape being a crime, though. But...

Show me where I was hypocritical? Edit" or defensive for that matter? Because I said "supporting yes means yes" was retarded? And regarding that as rape does not mean you support yes means yes? I'm not sure if you realize this, Mist. But hypocrisy means you run counter to your standard views...

What I just didn't get is that they obviously used a green screen....so why the fuck do you CGI the truck? It makes zero sense.

It isn't different though, that is what everyone is trying to tell you (It's why everyone else sees my position fairly clearly.) The reason I classified this was becauseI could see it, I had incontrovertible proof of the event. Not because my views have changed. They haven't, at all. I'd feel...

Mist is just extra angry because she's realizing all the men in this thread aren't monster frat boys--and actually wouldn't harm a woman, and find rape revolting. She's probably extremely confused now why we wouldn't simply toss due process and join her holy crusade to stomp out rape. A Zealot...

I've said it was by today's standards. (Here) Mist, my parameters have always been the same. You're the one who got so excited you might have something to allow you to save some face after being repeatedly embaressed and ashamed of your positions in this thread that you jumped on it. But...

Sorry about that, I thought I made the entire post without using specific names. But I let two specific names slip in there. Removed them though, the posts should just be generic circumstances.

I would assume this is more about convincing the Vale lords to support him. If he were to just go on his own and say "lets start a war in the North!" they'd probably just shut him off from Robyn and ignore him, legitimate or not. Maybe if he has orders from the crown, and can convince them there...

My standard has always been reasonable details. For me, explicitly saying no is crying, and having to be held down (Even if you aren't overtly struggling beyond trying to rise.) No doesn't have to be verbal. I don't think anyone in this thread said that, did they?

Dude, Mist if I had a tape of something like that? Yes, rape, easily rape. That's never been in question for me. I mean, there might be some extenuating circumstances in some cases with crying, held down women--like if there is some kinky rape RP going on; but if you're into that shit you...

I hope Bronn doesn't die from poisonbut yeah, they showed that cut and I'm afraid that's what it will be. Bronn is my second favorite guy now...when he made fun of the sand snake that made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, Littlefingers stuff will actually be exciting to see. He's gathering so much power so quickly, he's going to be lord of three of the kingdoms soon, even if his holds are tenuous.....I don't want Stannis to die though. The Stanimal is my favorite character.

Oh, so now we're talking about proof as a third party who did not witness the event? And not just "was it rape"? (Because those are different things, Mist) Well then, that becomes more complex. I don't know the answer to that one, because I'm not omniscient and can't flip on a TV and actually...

Since this is going to be a thing--lets get this started. If you hold a girl down while she is crying? And she doesn't say no? It's still rape. Any reasonable person would assume in that situation she was uncomfortable and not desiring the contact; and she should be asked to consent at that...

No, hysterical crying while having to hold her down? Is a pretty good sign of a non-verbalno. Any normal guy who doesn't pause for that is a sick fuck. Yes means yes is stupid because if Sansa would have grabbed his cock while throwing her dress off and rubbing her pussy? But she did not "say...

Yeah, again only saw the first bit and last, will post more tomorrow. But I saw he talked with muscle car guys--then shared with a bunch of people trying to leave the world behind or who didn't care about the world--then something reminded him of home--has his moment of doubt and pain--"dies"...

Only caught the final five minutes after GoT will watch it tomorrow. hah, am I right in assuming the final shot is supposed to say Don found enlightenment and probably turned it into a Coke ad? Because that's kind of hilarious! Honestly, kind of expected that....really. Anything was going to...

Sansa scene was extremely uncomfortable. It's one thing for a rape scene, it's another seeing someone who you first saw when they were a kid (Like the actual physical actor--not the character). I watched little Ned get aborted with a smile on my face; but that shit tonight actually made me...

Meh, the Tommen scene seemed force. If I was a 15ish year old kid hitting that every night and I literally had armed guards to do my thuggery? Anyone who touched her would have lost a hand real quick, especially for a bullshit like "she lied".

Fucking hell, Tan. Fucking hell. Read some god damn history. There is a reason people who KNOW history? Also know why it is okay to just make some people mad. You should study it before continuing to be ridiculous.

Yeah, if you own a big dog--you get a choker. Period. The animal rights activists will bitch and whine, but it's a safety measure on a dog that size. Don't use it, keep it on with the regular leash or harness. Of the dog goes nuts, one good yank of that thing will make even the toughest dog...

Called satire Tan, look it up.
