THENECROMANCER'S PROFILE

Our game won't be nearly ready enough for the deadline, but we're giving you a sub par game anyways! Then following that up with a complete overhaul, transforming a turd into a butterfly. That is, after I have a short mental breakdown and don't go near a computer for a few weeks.

Excuse me while I spit out these strange words that ended up in my mouth :P Why would someone want to stick up for that guy! haha

And what's this shit? "It's okay since he's dead and can't defend himself. haha"

That's not what I was thinking.

I was thinking about all the awful, crass, and disgusting things you've said over the years. How you always seem to fly off the handle and just generally say stupid shit when you are under any sort of criticism or pressure. And after how you handled the whole review thing, why would anybody want to stick up for you(except you)? Nothing about you screams "hey, give the guy a break". You are always pushing the limits of acceptable behavior, and then later when you come back all calm you try to rationalize it and blame others for over reacting to your bullshit.

You've got some game skills, to an extent, you're clearly not stupid. But in terms of being in a community, you are not all that desirable to have around. Outside of your games and feedback on screenshots and junk, it's always something weird with you. I think you overshare.

It's funny that you bring up other names like SnowOwl and say they were just expressing their opinion. Actually they were expressing their opinion in an extremely toxic way. People get booted for being assholes while expressing their opinions, not for the opinions themselves. You guys must wear the same glasses.

Our game is going to be so rad. Suzy is an mad genius. I've got most of the framework done now it's time to just plug in dialogue and graphics.

The event version will probably be a little short and rough around the edges, but we're going to keep expanding on it after. Add battle system and do more on the other island, I have this feeling we won't see much on island#2. We'll see!

I haven't been into game make like this in about 5 years and I hope to keep on going. I have at least 60 hours put into this so far and I get excited to open the editor. As opposed to my previous feeling of "UGH, not this again" when I used to open the editor xD I need to work with other people more often.

I added 8way Movement for the hero and it broke this system. So I came up with a way to incorporate 8way movement for the follower with just a minor addition. I'm only doing this for one follower so I don't know what would happen if you had more.

For each branch that compares coordiantes and ultimately moves the follower, you add 3 branches that compare the other coordinate.



Do this x4 for each direction.

For whatever reason it needs an end event processing, otherwise it moves in a different direction. And it needs a wait here or the follower moves slower, don't ask me to explain that one. But now my follower sticks to me like glue no matter what direction I travel in.

The way I see it, the humans themselves didn't need money or currency of any kind. Since they needed/wanted stuff from non-humans, they would have to engage in trade. They might buy stuff from the Vulcans, but when they come home to Earth I don't think they need to bring cash. There is very little direct evidence of an economy on Earth, so I choose to take that to mean that money is either nonexistent or so unimportant that it doesn't even come up. The Star Trek economy seems to be different at home than it is abroad. So let's just stay on planet Earth for now in this fantasy discussion about hypothetical scifi possibilities.

Also when Roddenberry died, the Star Trek "anything" died with it. The economy, the core values of the show. Nearly everybody was against all the ideas of Roddenberry because a future of perfect humans was devoid of conflict so the audience had a hard time accepting that. So this idea only goes as far as about TNG Season 3? Was it? Actually at about season 2 he lost most of his creative control anyways. The further on things go, the more it changes to be in line with our century's values. So the audience could relate. And when you have contradictions like, early on Gold is valuable and yet later Gold is a worthless material used to encase valuable latinum, that is a result of non-Roddenberry ideas and things get muddy.

Season 1 of TNG, The Neutral Zone, is the episode where they talk most about money. Cause one of the humans in cryo sleep was basically a Trump and he thinks he's real important cause he was a rich tycoon in his time.

I can't find anywhere that says a single replicator requires a fusion reactor and I don't recall any time in the show that is mentioned(And I've seen every series more than once). Possibly to power the hundreds, if not thousands aboard a ship like the enterprise. There are times when portable replicators are with people on a planet, like when Janeway and Chakotay are left behind on a planet. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Resolutions_(episode) They have a replicator with them, and no large reactor.

Also, regarding materials:

A replicator works by rearranging subatomic particles, which are abundant everywhere in the universe, to form molecules and arrange those molecules to form the object. For example, to create a pork chop, the replicator would first form atoms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc., then arrange them into amino acids, proteins, and cells, and assemble the particles into the form of a pork chop.

To make simple things, which are the necessities of life, the matter is everywhere. Only if you wanted to replicate complex things would you need to go out and look for rare materials. Which isn't needed to simply survive. There are also plenty of examples where people move to other planets and find meaning in creating new land. Getting back to the roots of when people actually lived life, instead of just consuming media to pass the time until work in the morning. It's hard to imagine life without work, but I can picture how much it would change. I wouldn't just sit around all day because I didn't need to work. Not everybody is that lazy and wants to waste life.

True, you can't replicate a house but you can replicate building materials. And it's commonly shown that the average person knows more in the future, then they do right now. Very few people in our time would have the skills and knowledge to build a house even with unlimited materials(and probably even with instructions), but in the future kids are taking calculus in middle school. Hell, even in the past people were more adept at doing survival type things like building shelter out of materials lying around. We're in that middle sweet(sour?) spot where we have it so good that we don't need to be able to do anything, or have skills, that are outside the scope our jobs to survive. We do our jobs to make money and then give that money to someone else who killed that animal, or someone else to build that house. Having jobs and conveniences makes us duller as a race.

Your point about society not having cars because people quit their jobs. Society doesn't NEED cars. People mostly use cars to get to work, hah, and to go places they want to go(not need to go). Since people can go to further places, things stopped being local. (in a small town)Instead of going to the local Co-op grocery store, you have to drive to the next town over. If we didn't have cars we wouldn't starve to death. Our grocery stores would be closer. If we didn't have grocery stores, we would have to hunt for food and the ones who can't would die off. Cars have only existed for what, about 100 years. We got along fine without them for much longer than that.

And all this talk about not doing things for intrinsic reward, that's nonsense. That's a personal view that I know for a fact not everyone shares. I do things for that reason all the time. Based on some of the things I've seen you say about human nature over the years, I don't think you really know what the average person would do in a situation. Just like most people on most subjects. So saying that you know what everybody would do, even in a futuristic hypothetical, is going to be wrong every time.

Even in this thread I think you've said that worthless people shouldn't live? Try telling that to a mom who gives birth to a child that has some horrible disfigurement/disease. Try telling that to Geordi who was born blind. You're more like Centurion Bochra who thinks Geordi should have been put to death right away. http://www.playbuzz.com/emmettr10/what-star-trek-race-are-you Something tells me you would get Romunlan or Vulcan ;P Man, those kinds of quizzes are lame.

Anyways, the whole Star Trek economy is only one possible outcome if jobs weren't required and it's assuming a lot of positive things that likely won't happen. Either way, I think I'm done here.
