Reply to Countdown: 8 days to release in Elemental Dev Journals JoeUser Forums

My main problem with Brad's statement in defense of it as being 'fun to use' is that who cares if changing terrain is fun to use, unless it's fun to play the whole game, you know, that thing you're releasing in 8 days, with terraforming so cheap? The game is not about raising and lowering terrain, or is it? Also, and this is extremely important to understand here, telling people they can just change it is unacceptable. You need to release a good product

[quote who="Mhantra" reply="45" id="3251425"]I am very willing to test this fully. I admit to being alarmed and worrying about abuse at first, but, assuming the AI can use the spell as well, this is actually something that sets this game apart, it is a talking point, a focus point of the game. We beta testers are all used to playing one way, and any large change like this, that will clearly change the fundamental way we play, thrown in at the last moment before release,

Likewise, your desire for there to be no God has no influence on whether there is a God or not.

Of course that doesn't prove it's the word of God. The way lives change when the Word of God is applied to them is what proves it. The way people following the advice found in the Bible live better proves it. The miserable people who you think lack for nothing but always want something more are the proof that it's the Word of God. The people who spend their life chasing after something, only to find it's not what they need still, and then go after somet

I'm proud that in my country, the USA, there is no election fraud - people vote and then they count all the votes properly every time. It's a beautiful thing, living in a democracy. Then, some elector votes for the President.

The problem with your free thinking is that it leaves being alive as idiocy. Why live with no purpose? Even better, why live with any moral compass with no higher accountability for your actions? So, purposeless, no better than animals in their minds, with no moral compass, you will live and do 'whatever you want' and feel opressed by the laws that say you can't do things. Laws that say a man marries a woman, laws that say abortion is infanticide, laws th

Reply to The VP debate and civility in Politics JoeUser Forums

Obama supporters are made up of unreasonable people who think they should have rights at the expense of the right. The right is made up of reasonable people who believe that the rights we have should extend to all people. So it doesn't surprise me when people who are for that pair act like it. Actually, some Obama supporters are just anti-Christian or pro-Liberation Theology. I suppose that pretty much makes them unreasonable though.

I was unimpressed with Biden's reported (I didn't watch it) stance on abortion, that he agreed it was murder but didn't want to intrude on other's rights to murder, or something like that.

Would it be better if he didn't inform them, and then they still lost their jobs? Consequences are meant to be the reason you make a decision. So the more consequences you know ahead of time, the more likely you are to make the right decision. You can learn what the consequences will be through other people, or through your own experience. That's why experience is so important - you've been there, and you'll make the right decision next time.

Is anybody actually happy with how Obama has ran the country? Is anybody excited to reelect him because of the great things he's going to do, or are they just in it to not have the other guy in? I really don't know. I've never heard anyone say that Obama has done a good job.
