You are a thousand times more mainstream than I am, and when you get an original idea, it is copied from somewhere else, so do not try to feed that Hollywood-bullshit to me, please. > They work at their best with this kind of structure, and also at the same > time this is apart from shitty mainstream hollywood-alike bullshit and > outranks just about every system in pure superiority. Yeah, right. I am a "bit" cynical towards all claims about one's pure superiority and unique ways to do this and that. It has been so many time when there has been sweet talk and nice sentences but nothing very original at all, just the same bullshit, so you need a "bit" more than just words to convince me. > > You know why your example about ants does not work (even though it is > > rather good example otherwise)? > > Ants have no magic which could affect the normal "laws of nature", so > > your example is unusuable. > > This only proves that you STILL didnt get my point. sad.

Then give your bullshit to walls instead of me. -- Kaoru Shalamberidze wrote: > > On Mon, 29 Nov 1999, Atte Koivula wrote: > > There is no such thing as "spells".

Magic and > "spells" are simply knowledge and skill of how to change reality. This is splitting of hairs as I told you earlier. If there is magic (or magick) there *is* spells, no matter if you do not call them spells, invocations or whatever, so do not give me that bullshit over and over again. > Second.

Blaah. There used to be and I am *really sorry* if there is not mana anymore. I could not care less if there was mana or not. You should be able to "convert" these ideas or terms to fit to Majik and not start splitting hairs. > 3rd. A real form of namhas or any elder god cannot at any point exist in > the creation. Elder gods are ALWAYS using avatars. Oh yes? I think we should ask Namhas about this. I am sure he has a word over yours in this matter. > There is no mana because it requires almost > nothing to take a pencil and paper and draw lines on it, it requires > SOMETHING thou, but its almost nothing and can hardly be called mana.

I am so sorry if I offended your superior intelligence and did not create as unique story as you wanted. Maybe you should make a better one by yourself. > Better ideas would be many powerful individuals, many sides, no good or > evil, no lame angels or demons. Puuh. Powerful individuals like politics? No lame demons or angels? What then? If you think demons and angels and other extra-planar creatures are boring and lame, maybe you should read some fantasy for adult-people and stop watching Teletubbies and stuff like that. For example, take a look at Warhammer Fantasy RPG and you see some REALLY evil demons and true chaos and not some demons looking like a smurf. Final words: do not take my arguments so personally, you just happened to be an example. -- | ~ Sinister / Serpent of Nightside ~ | | <sinister.serpent@sci.fi> http://i.am/sinister.serpent/ | --o-- Nightside homepage: http://www.netti.fi/~halsa/ --o-- | Nightside e-mail: <nightside@hotmail.com> |
