I'm not saying 1 = 0. I'm saying because the thought process leads to 1=0 that the basis of the thought process itself is flawed. In other words the concept of division by 0 is realizable, yet impossible. You showed a perfectly acceptable way to reduce mathematics to the impossible. The concept of a...

I’ll describe the one that flat out refutes this idea first. The reasoning behind this argument is flawed, because it suggests something that is “impossible”. God is perfect, and can do anything, right? What we need to do is understand what this really means. In order to do a thing, that thing must...

Anyone who has taken so much as an introduction to Philosophy class can give a handful of arguments both for and against the existence of God. All of them are flawed in at least a highly technical sense, some less so than others. You're right... numbers mean nothing. Look at slavery, women's oppress...

Sin, in my opinion, is a harmful act carried out against another creature. Your opinion on the definition of the word is meaningless when others may disagree with you. The general connotation of "sin" involves a punishment as a result of doing a bad deed (like burning in hell or suffering later in ...

Let's get back to basics with the original question. Define "sin". Sin according to the Judeo-Christian religions? Sin according to another religion? Sin according to a code of truth and ethics of which we are unaware? I don't believe in "sin" as an all encompassing term for something. I don't think...

Is this a philosophical question or mostly redundant looking for silly answers?

It shouldn't be easy to find flaming equipment...

So i'll second Anakin.

(There... I said it... I agree with Anakin... I need to go wash myself now)

since it would mean demons couldn't use foul rites if affected by a +align

Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Might have to wait a few ticks til you can cast foul rites. *wipes away a tear*

zylzibax changes your alignment! change alignment, which affects alignment by -2000 for 2000 hours that could be either really bad, or really good. just imagine how strong a demon would be with -2000 or -3000 alignment. of course, with +2000 alignment a demon should actually heal things it's trying...

"Affects align by X for Y hours" would probably be pretty cool. :) Means you have to get it dispelled or wait for it to wear off, because no matter how much you change your alignment by, it's still current_align - affected_align. Then you go to all that trouble and when the curse wears off, your ali...

Send it to me too.

Or I'll just tie Kiri up and flog her til she forwards it to me.

Except you leave out that it changes some aspects of gameplay. If alignment is harder to alter, it can change people's minds about what they fight and where they fight. If you want to be evil, you best stop fighting evil mobs all the time just because they're in the area you feel like going to 100 t...

I think it's quite a big deal. Demons trying to keep their align set have a really easy time. Considering demons are a walk in the park for the most part, i think it's fair they have to work a little to do the most damage possible. The change_align spec took a lot of the effect of alignment out of t...
