This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: flyingmice;362728Federal Statute, my friend, illegal in all 50 states. Can't blame Bush for this, though, as Carter signed it into law. He was a bit of a prude, what with lusting in his heart instead of in the Oval Office like Clinton, and thought too much levity was unseemly during the moral equivalent of war. That, of course, is why Monte Python became so popular at that time. They didn't stop imports! But after a while, the irony and dry wit muscles atrophied in us. now no one cares. Sarcasm - unlike what you assumed above - was never illegal. Everyday conversation here fairly drips with sarcasm, in New York City especially. It is the only form of humor left to us, after all. Well, except for puns.

So, you're a Canadian, eh? How are things in Canadia?

Currently wet. It's probably freezing cold with snow elsewhere, but I live in the lower Wet Coast. The Olympics are on, which has some people ticked, as they cost a lot - Even more than they said they would. Still, that's government for you. Also, taxes get higher, services get lower except in Alberta, where they're already low and they figured out how to lower taxes, too. Or at least, while what's-his-name was in office. Who knows, now.

In the meantime, every election I consider voting Marijuana party, for at least to know what the end result will be.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Quote from: Nicephorus;362590Yea, it's more of a case file than anything else.  It's a game in the sense that the writer calls it a rpg.  You could spend days sorting through to findusable bits and still not have enough to play a game.

After what, six, seven years? of working on it, he has never provided a means of calculating your base C2, IIRC, which is one of the three fundamental stats Hybrid "relies" on. The C1 and C3 calculations both derive from it. Scarily enough, Hybrid would almost be a game-system if C2 were ever defined (albeit one with rules only governing things like why women are evil, and the relative power of Superman to raw meat byproduct).

Shit...sorry...I have to do it...

From FATAL:

"A female’s Vaginal Depth Potential equals her height in feet converted to inches (such as a female of 5’ 6” becoming equivalent to 5 1/2”), and then (2d20)% is added."

And my personal favorite:

"The rapists come from all levels of society, but the majority are artisans and laborers. Less than 10% of rapes occur by thugs. In 50% of cases, human rapists are between 18 and 24 years old. The group is composed, on average, of 6 characters. Only 20% of the rapes are committed by 10 or more characters. Half the male youth participate at least once in gang rape. Sexual violence is an everyday dimension of community life. There tends to be less in smaller communities such as hamlets and more in larger communities such as cities."

Remember..is supposed to be historically accurate. Goddamn.
Your superior intellect is no match for our primitive weapons!

And clash is right.  BIG difference between a Hoosier and a Yankee, aside from the smug sense of entitlement that seems to come with New England sports fans. :p  Hoosiers know corn, see.  We're like the C-3PO of corn--fluent in over 6 million forms of corn preparation.
