RL? What RL?

Jamski · February 27, 2003, 09:51

It's a fictional hypothetical construction used as a way of describing the things that try to stop games working properly. Example include the mythical creature known as "The Girlfriend". I also heard of something called "Eating" once, but I think this was a joke (I didn't really get it though)

I recently got introduced to the concept of 'sleeping'
its really weird! I was with some Pal's and they said 'shhh have you heard? tehres a new Thing on the streets Shh!!! not so loud!
Yes its called sleeping and this is how it goes'
I would go into Detail but its really Freaky and propably illegal.

Kirov · February 28, 2003, 09:07

Wow, you guys are really well-informed. I've got some questions about RL, but I'm too ashamed to ask... You wouldn't believe what I heard people like to do when they achieve the RL state...

lucky22 · February 28, 2003, 17:35

Certain aspects of RL seem so seductive, but are actually dangerous traps! One example of this phenomenon is known around here as "automobiles". They are safe enough in the "concrete" dimension, but are entangled in many hidden aspects of the more properly game-like legal and financial dimensions.

Look out for "insurance"!!

Also be very wary of "people who don't know how to drive yet insist on trying"

*bump*

Jamski · March 3, 2003, 07:46

I heard something about RL, but then MoO3 came. I haven't heard anything since. I assume it was some kind of practical joke that Yang got up together with the Klackons.

Main_Brain · March 3, 2003, 10:16

I can only comment that indeed i didnt see any trace of RL in the last days.

HOW NOW IS THIS ORGANIZATION??

Pandemoniak · March 21, 2003, 04:32

/me sends a nota bene saying maybe you should elect a foreman whose task would be to ~~spam~~decently post many pro-CCCP arguments and/or jabbering in as many threads as possible.

Jamski · March 21, 2003, 07:38

Only you can be our holy foreman, Pan.

But if you want pro-CCCP spamming, then I'm always happy to help.

-Jam

Pandemoniak · March 21, 2003, 09:38

Pro-CCCP spamming is exactly the task of the foreman. Plus creating a new thread when this one has reached around 450 posts.

Jamski · March 21, 2003, 09:59

Does this mean you are "officially" retiring as foreman of the CCCP, Pan? Should we have an election or something?

Anyone?

-Jam

Maniac · March 21, 2003, 10:36

I didn't even know Kirov was member of the CCCP.

Jamski · March 21, 2003, 10:49

Love the avatar Maniac.

Kirov is a sociologically-minded kibitzer with a lot of insight and a pro-human stance. Just hoping to prompt input.

Pandemoniak · March 22, 2003, 06:32

Shocking avatar, Maniac, but a nice one.
And yes, Im officially retired of the position of CCCP Foreman, as stated in my farewell. You can either do elections or one of you proclaim himself foreman, or each one of you proclaims himself foreman of the (insert-department-here) department of the CCCP, or just let it go and do nothing.

Maniac · March 22, 2003, 10:09

The avatar is from a demonstration in Porto Alegre. Fortunately it wasn't in California, or all protesters would have been arrested.

Pandemoniak · March 22, 2003, 10:48

I see. Porto Allegrians certainly have reasons to burn US flags. I would have been more shocked if it had been in London, Berlin, Madrid or Roma for example...

Maniac · March 22, 2003, 11:28

Really? What exactly would be so shocking with that??

lucky22 · March 22, 2003, 18:37

Yay Europe! Boo depleted uranium!

Cedayon · March 23, 2003, 23:54

I just saw a "while-you're-waiting" quote from Apolyton a second ago that was to the effect that Karl Marx said "The only way to kill capitalism is taxes, taxes, and more taxes" ... did Marx actually say that? I figured you guys would know

Jamski · March 24, 2003, 03:17

Well a 100% income tax rate would certainly kill the capitalist system here

I don't really believe Marx could say that.... but hell, he may have told it while drunk, I think everyone gets drunk from time to time.

Jamski · March 24, 2003, 04:26

So guys, are we going to choose a replacement for Pan, or what? Someone should be responsible for slamming Archaic.

-Jam

Pandemoniak · March 24, 2003, 06:14

"The only way to kill capitalism is taxes, taxes, and more taxes"

Just check that in a websearch engine, you'll find it's always quoted as anonymous. As a joke about April the 15th (which is, IIRC, the day amùericans pay their taxes.

To Maniac, I think it is always a shocking act to burn a flag, not necessarly evil, but shocking. Its a strong symbol of hatred, and hatred never leads to anything good.

Jamski · March 24, 2003, 06:32

A flag is a strong symbol of hatred, or burning it is? Flag-burning is very powerfully avataristic, as the flag, much more than any other item represents a country. Burning a flag is a very strong message, but much better than violent actions.

Flags should be destroyed anyway as divisive symbols of nationalism. How is it that there are always young men who are ready to die for a flag, but not for peace? Rather than just throwing your flags away, why not burn them?

-Jam

Pandemoniak · March 24, 2003, 06:55

True. But then it would be burning a flag, not burning a specific country's flag.

I gotta pack my things now, anyway. Goodbye everyone, see you in some weeks or months.

GeneralTacticus · March 24, 2003, 07:16

Considering the way people seem to be thinking in the nominations thread right now, there may not be a DG to come back to...
