Wow, you had a point until you starting ranting about people losing lives.
Lowering emissions won't kill people. Heck, I have to be pretty imaginitive to think of ways that it would. There are studies that indicate that living near smog and pollutants have a tendency to lower one's life span compared to living away from them, so it's possible we're already killing people anyway.
Unless someone says, 'the only way to stop greenhouse gases is by killing people!', you probably shouldn't be using that argument, because it's extreme and stupid.
You come home from school. The house is a mess, the dog needs to be walked, the dishes are dirty, and your mom is playing Halo screaming "What the fuck, I shot him three times!!!"
There may be some social studies possible in MMORPG, but a plague is a serious RL issue which can not be adequatly represented.
Well, it could, but it would mean after being infected, if you can't find a cure, your character is deleted. That would be fun from an observer's perspective.
But even that doesn't come close. I mean, plagues KILL people like you and me. Most people knowingly infected with a diesease would not purposefully act to hurt others unless they had premonitions of hurting them beforehand, and even if they did, the rest of the community would be acting to prevent such things, via quarantine.
I play EQ2, which had a plague event back in June, and people didn't like the plague, but you did infect your friends for fun, as a joke, because you know it's not real.
The whole thing seems silly to me, I mean, a dude running around with a little ball. What's the point. Roll an average sized ball around a course over and over again? There's no progression whatsoever! Give me a sword or a gun, not some huge ball rolling toward m-oh shi-,
I agree. I played for two weeks and the game isn't that fun. Honestly, you're best off not doing anything for the first year while you train your skills, as opposed to mining for hours and then losing it all by getting killed because you have none.
I just seemed that the new players had a lot of crawling to do before they were even remotely powerful or exciting.
And the combat, I mean, what kind of game has space combat without the classic top gun approach. It's just pick a target and let the computer attack. A space game without a joystick will never do it for me.
Ah, but those teenagers aren't actually paying for that IM service, which is why there's no need to switch to something that possibly would temporarily disrupt their social circle. Sure, other programs are slightly better, but you'd be surprised how little that matters when you are comfortable with what you have and it gets the job done.
Hmm, I can't see the excitement. Certainly there are some cool fps videos, but I mean, I'm pretty good at fp shooters, but I'm not good at say, running and catching things, and I'd rather watch things I can't do myself like football then watch things I could be doing myself, like moving a mouse and fragging people.
Moreover, to be a champion at UT doesn't mean you are naturally any good at, say, Battlefield 2 because the timing and movement is slightly different, wherein someone who's fast would be welcomed in most athletic sports, so I think fps masters are just less impressive humans than athletes.
I've played in fps tournaments before, and they are quite thrilling to be in, but I think our spectators got off on the thrill of actually watching over our backs and hearing our 'shits', and 'aw, fucker's, which is slightly better than just watching a screen of someone playing.
So I guess watching fps in my opinion just will never be better or easier than playing an fps yourself.

Unless of course, success gets you a intern under your desk.
Apparently the government fears Agent Smith as much as I do.

Ramen brother.
I do be sure that 'e'll fix together a new o-zone layer with 'is wonderful noodly appendages, yarr.
That's okay. I'm sure a majority of the major factions will vote yes on the 'Solar Shading' option when it becomes availiable.

kickvote initiated on player REDOWL. Press page up for yes, page down for no.
Would you like to know more?
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Try something more intense, like a mmorpg. If my fan isn't running during EQ2 or FFXI, the graphics card overheats and shuts down the PC.

Would this be the 'luxury' bar in civ II? I always left it at 0% too, being obsessed with getting tanks first :(

Call me cynical, cause I am, but somehow I doubt suicide rates got measured accurately over the past two millenia.
Although, if we could get unknown data like that, I'd also look at the number of women executed by their communities for whatever reason.
