lol , not as silly as your U.S.A.'s right wing government 'elections' that somehow appoint presidents, or judicial systems which can be bought out if you have enough money
no silly laws like being able to understand/ read in your own native language , yah those are silly
I too have become intriuged by the pirates and cosairs of old
a book i must recommend is pirate utopias moorish corsairs and european renegadoes by peter lamborn wilson
the most surprising thing ive read so far is that they had a form of democracy before england! england sent emissaries to Sale only three years before the protectorate/commonwealth form of government was instituted back in england!
so if piracy is all bad, then democracy must be to!!Right?;)
to me a good rpg , analog or digital, is about good storytelling.
with a solid gm/programmer setting up the environment and the character's/pc's playing/acting in that environment.
the story unfolds.
i find whats missing in most rpgs is this ideal, that it is up to the group of players and prgrammer/GM's to tell the story.
technical issues aside, this is what is missing,IMO. the story does not unfold in the digital medium. the ending has been written already in most cases!! how can the story unfold?
The GM's job is to direct, not to stiffle and squash the players actions.
i think the same is true of digital RPGin too
There has been many the time in analog RPGin that a character has completely changed the course of the campaign/game because they do something so ingenious, stupid or whatever that changes the whole story.
This will be a long time coming in the digital vein, although its getting closer. Still Id rather play a game of D&D with my friends anyday!!

the U.S.A. is still a democracy? BAH! the propaganda is working!
i might go as far as corporate fuedalism MAYBE,
but when money rules the world, THAT is facism!
and so far as the US goes it hasnt been democratic for a good damn while.

has got to be the graphics and audio pipelines
/dev/dsp or esd?
they are so complex and overly complicated, not to meantion incompatible and slow in most cases,
which lib to compile against?
is it framebuffer or reg xlibs?
is it alsa ,
bah!
in windows, as a user i never have to worry about this crap, and i shouldnt have to under linux either
if windows can manage this linux should be able to!
its time to consolidate
especially if linux ever wants to get into the desktop market
yah music zealots!! LOL
we all know those zealots are terrorists!
theyve stopped blaming heavy metal
anyone that has passion, zeal about something is a terrorist? come one
following this logic one could say the same about
anyone that watches too much tv or goes to church every sunday
shrug
heck anyone with enthusiasm for a subject, anyone with a passion for something is a terrorist
such a paraniod view, its obvious this guy has a zeal for pointing fingers, i guess hes a terrorist?

new teen titan cartoons they changed some characters drastically such as thunder and lightning dont even remotely look like they did in the comics
xmen would been really lame with yellow spandex!
hulk origin is drastically changed in the movie
spider man never shot webbing outta his arm in the comics or older cartoons

yes but those books,especially history, have also been known to rewrite history in 'favorable' ways
or misquote , or take out of context things, and that my friend is the problem
