While We Wait: Part 2

[Birdjaguar]

As I have mentioned before the world is a planet coming out of an ice age with massive glaciers covering the northern and southern hemispheres. North King and I have not decided on a way to make it work out on the map but are pretty close to this. He is making this wonderfully map which should be ready by the end of the week. The Cradle at least. Then you will all behold it.

Well that sounds pretty cool. Will the game time be quick enough to allow the glaciers to melt and uncover new lands? Neanderthal NPCs?

 

[Luckymoose]

Yes I am. It is not imminent, but it is coming along.

Not to sound harsh but mine was in developmental planning for 6 months.

Then it should be outstanding! Regular rules or something new?

The rules I am debating on. Who knows what the final product will be.

 

[Symphony D.]

You know what would be good is a non-earth based modern fresh start.

A modern fresh start in a non-Earth map? Good luck finding that.

Hey, look, more Does-Not-Pay-Attention Awards! You people are really on one hell of a roll.

 

[LightFang]

I have no sense to pay attention with.

Are we actually getting upset/offended? If LINES is based solely on the opinions of others (which is the only reason to bother arguing with Perfection on its value), and if the majority opinion is that LINES is good, then LINES must be good.

You assume that this thread has a represenate sample of people, but it doesn't it's filled with a bunch of NESers. The average person may find LINES to be utterly devoid of worth.

If I found it annoying or offensive, I wouldn't be here talking with him, now, would I? I'm pretty sure most of the others here are likewise simply enjoying an opportunity to argue with a spam legend.

Yep, I provide the fun!

It's sad, not because Perf has a huge ego, but has an extremely high post count, and I venture 7/8 of it is spam.

Corny jokes aren't spam.

And for the record. Fifty and I are one and the same. We even share underpants.

I did not intend to assume such a thing. I admit that the average person may find LINES to be utterly devoid of worth. The average person may also find Civfanatics Forums as a whole devoid of worth; likewise with anything else, from college football to philosophical discourse. This has a few possible implications. First, it is possible that we must take into account only the opinions of those for whom this forum exists (which is to say, either NESers simply, or NESers as well as anyone else who bothers to frequent the NESing forum). Second, we must consider what it is to say that anything is "of worth." If the majority of the population-at-large would say that NESing itself is devoid of worth, yet NESing appears to have worth to at least some, perhaps the entire system of determining worth is flawed.

And for the record. Fifty and I are one and the same. We even share underpants.

If you are one and the same, why is there a concept of sharing? Unless you are one and the same in one regard, and not in another. Are you one and the same essence, but of different substance? Please elaborate.

bingo

Well it's like the two cheeks of your butt sharing the same underpants. I mean yeah we're distinct (like two cheeks are), but we're part of a greater whole (the entire butt).

I'm sorry Perfy but I will have to prove you wrong. Perfection and Fifty together combine into something that is larger than the sum of their component parts.

Interesting. You both, therefore, participate in the "buttness" of the whole, but are yourselves distinct in substance as one species of entity is different from another within a single genus while sharing the same essentia.

How is this to be proven?

Nope cuz we're dependant on each other like each butt check needing the other to squeeze off a fart. We need one another to do the things needed for surivival

Fifty and I are like butt cheeks!

You're just gonna have to trust us.

No you see I didn't say you didn't need each other, I said that you two together are bigger than the whole.

By yourselves, you can't produce a fart (or at least, it sucks). With two seperate butt cheeks, a proper fart won't be produced either. However, combined, you get something bigger than the two individually could have ever done.

mmm buttsecks

But the think is if we were apart we wouldn't be because without each cheek there'd be no fart, and if we couldn't fart pressure would build up and we'd explode!

mmm buttsecks

Come on Bill, this is a serious conversation here.

 

[LightFang]

But the think is if we were apart we wouldn't be because without each cheek there'd be no fart, and if we couldn't fart pressure would build up and we'd explode!

That's my point exactly. The symbiosis makes both of you combined bigger than the sum of your parts!

 

[Perfection]

That's my point exactly. The symbiosis makes both of you combined bigger than the sum of your parts!

But it's not just synergy! It's existance! I cannot exist without Fifty much like a right butt cheek can not exist without the left! We are a paired item our essence exists only through mutual dependance. We are but (pardon the pun) arbitrary definitions (the crack) and infact only exist as a unified whole (pardon the other pun).

Oh my goodness! You're completely right. I concede yet another point to Perfection and humbly accept defeat in this matter.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Please take the "love fest" off to Fifty Chat.

It's over, Birdy, the analogy has finished.
