I just spent 10 minutes seperating and figuring each of the teams for this little online war. I don't want to offend anyone, but do you guys want to see it?

We are your friends, whom you are loved by. Show us what you wish and we will judge with the eyes of friends, we will not hate, and we shall not be offended. Or if any of thy friends do so, then they are ill-worn and should be shed as a mantle.
I mean, YES, please, we`re interested!

Alright, because Alydos and Momo are all alone, I've joined their side, and I've split us into two teams: Alydos, Dundee and Momo, and Wolf, Dagger, and Stone. Brownies have the advantages of stronger fighters because they got rid of all the weak and stupid people and almost limitless energy, and yellers have the advantages of beasts, a ruler well-stocked with plans for tyranny, and the fans of Stone's games. Does that sound evenly split? And where do you get that stuff, Alydos?!

Alydos, since when did courage and fear have anything to do with world conquestcermcI mean the betterment of mankind and restoration of the earth. Youfre very presence and inhumane action is enough to warrant an attack from my forces. I could list the specific grievances, but Ifm sure they will simply fall on deaf ears. Go ahead Dundeec.

Alydos, I believe the mods have said that orange is for their use, so that people on the forum know when they are using their mod powers and when they are just posting as regluar forum goers. You might want to fix that...^_^

Um. That... Now that I think about it, it's pretty pointless. Sorry for getting your hopes up, I can't think when it's midnight. And sorry if I sound depressed, I just often feel regret and sorrow when I post something that promises something great and turns out to be rotten and useless. Whoo, I'm starting to sound like Amy when she's in a bad mood!

It`s not fair that they should steal our colors! It`s tyrannical.
I apologize Dundee, some unknowing fool let me get a hold of a Shakespeare book, I`m afraid the world is probably doomed.
Couldn`t you just have left the orange alone, Wolf? My post count is getting way too big from all my modifications!

Thatfs truecbest watch the orange...hey, you have to admit that it is a good mod color.
Oh, and culling the weak is such a primitive way to go about working on genetic perfection. GE is so much more humane, plus it opens up an entirely new world of possibilities. And I am far from tyrannical, I only want the best for the earth and my people. I couldnft be to blame if additional perks just so happened to be complete global domination.

Using the modify button doesn't increase your post count. and no i couldn't, not when the mods have stated once already that the orange is for their use. They shouldn't have to repeat themselves. They work hard enough already.

Good for you, Wolfie. There ARE lots of other choices, you know... In fact, I think I'll be using this color from now on. Such a pretty blue-green...

Riight, and that is why I`m going to be a God in a week. Is there a way to disable modifications increasing post count? I don`t believe in shortcuts for something I want to be so long-term.
I mean, at least I don`t really believe I`d made that many posts already. x.x'

Your post count is 44, and when you search for 44 posts on you member page, it finds 42. You have posted that much.

Post by Dundee on Apr 14, 2006 1:16:52 GMT -5
No, you've only made 42 posts so far. I counted. Why is being a God a bad thing? It is a thing to be coveted, a thing to be proud of, a thing to be earned in any way possible, even if that requires the means of lies and slander! Um, I think I've been listening to my brother too much lately...

So it is! ^_^ My venture would be peaceful, people would willingly follow us, at least as willingly as they are capable of after multiple experimental medicines are applied. Which, will be very capable. Why can we not coexist, it would do you well to be reminded of the old world, and I`m sure you thi-.. can protect yourself against any, how shall we say, overly ambitious takeovers on my part.

And how can you be so sure about that? For all you know, we could be secretly sneaking some kind of chemical into their food that makes them turn rabid, that will in turn force them to fight amongst themselves, therefore deleting any chance you have of spoiling-*is cut off by realization of the stupidity of revealing your secret plans to your enemy*

It pretty much has to do with your entire society being based on arena pit fighting. Forcing the poor and criminals to fight to the death in order to sustain the populous both economically and dietarily. Inhumane practices to your own citizens, exploitative to the environment, and abusive to animals. All great grievances against my empire and my people. Not to mention your existence complicates the global domination thing. Nothing personal, just a manifest destiny kind a thing.

Because i make all my pets food. I know precisely what goes in it, and to sabatoge it, you would have to sneak into my house, which is guarded by said pets. Also, any person attempting to poisen my pets will meet with a slow and painful end...*glares*
and now, on to Daggertooth's post: I can sum this up in two words: World Domination!

Do you know? It's REALLY easy for rabies to spread. It's like WILD FIRE. And you don't even have to sneak it in; all you need is one infected rodent, and you'll have a forest fire on your hands.
Um, please note that all threats and all comments are made in the spirit of war on this topic, and not at all what I think about in real life. Just thought you should know I'm not a soulless jerk who would infect an army of animals just to win a war, of which I am extremely against.

Wouldnft it be more effective to infect the people? Not that Ifm suggesting such. My GE labs have been working on various strains both viral and bacterial for years. Preventative measures for the most part. Rabies doesnft effect all animals the same, for instance, skunks are barely effected but its fatal to bats. It doesnft really matter because I have actively worked on developing preventative measures. When most extant species are bottlenecking it is very important to have proper vaccines available. Also, when eliminating certain invasive species, species specific GE bacterial and viral strains are in order. As you can see I am more than prepared.
I'm happy to say that my Arco's on various moons and terraforming ventures on mars have been successful. Researchers are still working on the best way to terraform Venus, the acidic atmosphere seems to be complicated.

Wouldn't vaccines prevent rabies, though?

Exploitative of the environment? Will your slanderous falsehoods never end! We use the environment in ways far more safe and productive than any other! We do not wish to dominate the world, we want to integrate ourselves as the worlds conscience. If ever Utopia had a chance, it would be ours to give to Earth!

The only reason you have any environmental worth is due to Dundeefs recycling and pollution control. You still torture animals and people, occupy large tracts of land, Your culling the weak is based more on economic development than on genetics. Your utopia is based on sacrificing the financial weak so they are no longer dragging down society.
Yes I have poor, I have the morally defeated, but people earn what they get in my Arcologies. With free education, room, and board anyone can improve on themselves. If someone wants to abuse the system and never works well they still get free room and food, but you get what you pay. Some people are perfectly happy wasting their life with only nutritional supplements and enough room to put fit a bed in. Others take advantage of the free education and ability to rise from the dregs of society to make something of yourself.

If any person has the potential to become great, why spare a few when there are so many!
The financially weak have at least some say in their own destinies. If they want to live and die as that, why bother taunting them with the prospect of a better life, of wisdom when they are so content in their ignorance!
My venture does not take up huge tracts of land, and they would not conflict with nature more than what humans would have done with it, much less in fact! The natural order of what people seem to enjoy is almost entirely just to live and be entertained. I am merely giving them all that they could ever want. Unofficially, I concede defeat, what you did to Rehiro was awe inspiring and made me feel tingly.

It`s a behemoth of a post in the Oh my God topic. It is both thoroughly entertaining and actively intelligent. How could such a mind not wish to work with my Will for the betterment of mankind? Our ideas in unison could lead to a new Golden Age, I would head public affairs in our triumvirate.
I would never torture the animals, they are merely fed in a way that is a part of the natural order. We even have scavengers to help with the compost leftovers.

Well now, I didn't really do anything to Rehiro, Just answered his questions.
What we need is a third empirecthen we can have a variable 1984 on our hands.

See the modesty, the self-control! All of your actions point to your interest with the true meaning of goodness and my Coliseum! Not that you are a man who would be susceptible to my flattery.
With your help cleansliness could become cost-efficient, and even more creative ways to cycle. Y`know, I`ve heard of a way to derive power from humans. We could use our own, self-sufficient power source with solar energy alongside it.

Yes I would admit that a partnership of sorts could be usefull and yield economic rewards. However there are strong differences that will not allow such a partnership despite the rewards. Unless you think you can get Wolfchild to compromise on her stance on animal cruelty, torture, and pitfighting.

I'm sure it is not lost on either of you that the whole 'pitfighting' thing worked remarkably well for the Roman Empire for a good long time. Alydos and I venture forth not touting mere hypothesis, but armed to the gills with historical precedent. That, and my intelligence-culling scheme would have the long term effect of reducing global population, statistically purifying the human race in terms of overall intelligence, and making our planet a generally more pleasant place to live. The end results would be extremely beneficial; a reduced population intelligent enough to maximize their gains in environmental preservation made by their smaller numbers. I can see it now, in my head. It is a veritably glorious Symphony of Order.
So you can keep your Arcologies, Daggertooth, for they will only be microcosms of a flawed whole. In such a concentrated environment, that sample of the human race would degrade even more speedily. Only through a grand, overarching scheme of refinement can Humanity be made to approach perfection.
However, were these two grand ideas combined, our goals could be accomplished just that much quicker! A planet saved from our race's wanton consumption, and our race saved from its own terminal imbecility. I beleive a joint venture would be the best course of action.
