I say we go with Steve's plan. Let's go hire some hookers and get them to help us rob the joint.

I should add that MMOs are evil, and a VtM MMO would be all the bad things about VtM live roleplaying, but without being able to poke people in their flabby pasty guts and demand they stop pretending to be a lissom acrobat.

I agree with Blank. It's about time we went to the hookers.

*Cue Joe Pesci style rant about being funny*

I confess I haven't bothered reading it. I devote quite enough time to reading about Nazis without actually learning their code.

Nevermind. Dirty mind thinking, I will just leave it unsaid. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I had four last year and all went disasterously wrong, although they all said I was unbelievably nice. Which was almost the exact reverse of the preceding four.

I like the Seneca quote. I shall certainly use it. My own twist on the DR quote is "Tell me kid, you ever dance with John Major by the pale moonlight?" Which I find more disturbing. Although I do have a favourite question, like the hockey one. I was in Games Workshop, buying the new Gaunt's Ghosts novel, and myself and the staff are having this conversation about dice or something and these kids come in. They're about ten years old, and look (so far as I am any judge) pretty well turned out and confident, and this one kid butts in and says KID: This stuff ...is it fun? ASSISTANT: Yeah, it can be. There's a lot of different things to do. KID: Is it cool? ALL: *gazing around the room and at each other, then speaking in a kindly fashion* No. No it really isn't. If you want to be cool you need to turn around and walk away right now.

You cannot hypnotize someone to do something they wouldn't do ordinarily. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are wrong. EXECUTE CASE BLUE. Anyway, I am afraid that after extensive testing these last few years I have found a precisely inverse relationship between the amount of time spent trying to please your girlfriend and the degree of affection that rebounds on you. It's just true. So in a way my resolution is to exert 'stealth kindness'. Act entirely disinterested but do incredibly subtle things to make them happy, possibly by employing ninjas. Of course that rather implies I have a girlfriend or girlfriends. Which I have also sworn not to get.

I remember them because when I were a young 'un we didn't have PCs! They were good, although I confess I used to ignore the dice thing because I was just very very bad at maths. I used to imagine the fight in my head. Although I think the fact that I used to lose quite often is illuminating. I'm also moving this to the roleplaying section, if you'll just grab hold of something for a minute...

Would you recommend Homeworld 2 on those same criteria? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was just thinking we'd got a bit off topic. :"> ) I haven't played HW2 yet, but I certainly will when I get through my current games.

Malkavian is an outstanding thing in VtM. Almost all the fething coversations are given a new and drastic twist. Well worth it for a first play through as i did. I hate Malks in pnp, but I suddenly saw what they could be. Madness doesn't have to be annoying.

Personally I just loved the immersion by story and presentation in Homeworld.

I think another point to bear in mind is that VtM could have established a new franchise success line. Sequels, like repeat customers, are commercially very very tasty. I know I'd buy a sequel of it. However, as I may have already said, I have played without encountering one single solitary bug, even without any patches (I forgot to install them)!

I think he's making it up as he goes along.

No. i'm saying that you should choose the side that is losing. If you're drunk.

B, because it's better for the economy.

Akbar: "It's a trap!"

Someone needs a huuuuug!

I'll agree it needs to be tempered. I'm just saying that if you get into bed with a Creative outfit you need to be willing to put up with a certain degree of weirdnesss as teh price of their excellence. like if you date some dizzy artist or employ a prima donna. Do it with open eyes.

Don't get me wrong. I'm one of those pot-bellied nearly orc goblins. Not the skinnny variety. WAAAAAGH!

No. But paddling Herr hitler with it until he wised up might have.

Ach, I'm a big romantic at heart. My problem is that physically I'm a repellent man-goblin. Peace and love to all you shifty swines in this New Year. :joy:

We're talking about Homeworld. X2 I'm still struggling with.

Grom, if troika really didn't make novel stuff then obviously my argument falls down. In this instance. 'Though i believe it still holds true in general terms. However, i don't think seeing three publishers make the same decision means it was a conpsiracy. I'm saying it's quite common. Particularly in engineering. Look at MRAV/Boxer.

We have to share a character? Rock! Schizophrenic characters rule!
