You joking hey Volo?
-
Jaded can I ask you a question and please be serious when you respond Do you not think the EU is significant and what do you think about the sustainability of the EU?
-
Is it like the books...so do you have to fight the Manticore and find the riddles in Khare? Are there Red Eyes in the city...
-
OMG.....I loved this series of books, I must have played them a dozen times. I still remember almost everything about them like the Seven Serpents I'm going to check this out now

Thats interesting, now if the rules committee decides to not recognize Trump I imagine there will be huge outcry from the Trump camp...wouldn't that be the realistic outcome? I may not like Trump but it would seem odd with all his success in the votes that he isn't the nomination

Games you want that'll likely never exist

He's thinking of George Ziets' BG3 'pitch' from a while back. That had you at big e Epic levels and potentially fighting Cyric. (BG3 as in actual sequel to BG2/ToB, not Baldur's Gate: The Black Hound unconnected to and non sequel to BG2, because we can use the name in other words.) Thats right, yes that is what I was thinking about Good memory Zora -

Okay, I just googled this and you right I thought the narrative was about Cyric and your battle with Gods....but I was way off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur%27s_Gate_III:_The_Black_Hound -
My hat .....I love Bethesda games but the thought of playing any Bethesda game without Mods is a foreign concept to me

Geez...I'm playing W3 now and its amazing Its hard to think of a Fallout 4 being even better than that ? Its not. Not even close. Fallout 4 is the Cawadoody of Fallout games. They removed most of the C&C, removed stat based dialogue choices, removed skills, etc. Basically the only RPG elements are dialogues and equipment, and the only choice you really get to make in the game is which 2 of 3 factions to kill. Oh okay....and using Mods? Do they save the game at all?

I know you joking but the EU is very important and relevant The EU is an example of how many other similar blocks of countries outside the EU can create political unions to achieve economic prosperity for its citizens For example the African Union wanted to achieve what the EU has done Some of the "negative " realities of being in the EU are certain issues all Western countries in some way or the other has to grapple with ...you are held to a higher standard and there is an expectation how the EU needs to conduct itself that leads to domestic frustration as its only the EU that is trying to adhere to a higher moral ground For example the obvious development around all these refugees arriving in the EU....many people in the EU feel they have some sort of obligation to take in these refugees. It will vary from country to country but IMO why should the EU have to do something that not even countries in the ME are doing? I have said this many times but its a bizarre situation were Sunni Muslim countries in the ME like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar wont take any refugees yet the EU thinks it has to But I still believe the EU will ultimately become stronger from all this as degrees of multiculturalism are a good thing, it just needs to be managed If ever there was a cheerleader for dystopia, you are he. In what way? Is Dystopia the right word to describe my views I looked the word up as I wasnt sure of its exact meaning an imaginary place where everything is as bad as it can be I dont think things are bad in the EU at all...I believe this is just a level of social transformation but the EU will persevere

For me any new game with the same depth and length like BG but set in the Forgotten Realms would be great The only issue I have with a potential Black Hound is we are now talking about VERY high level characters from the beginning, I would prefer to start at level 1 and be able to go to level 25 or so And there are so many other exciting regions in the Forgotten Realms it can be set in a dozen or so places -

What a beautiful thing democracy is in a nation with a King! Yeah....I have to be honest I'm not sure why 30 % now requires the Dutch government to possibly reconsider the deal Yes I know its there law but I would think maybe 45-50 % is a more significant number?

I notice no one has suggested some sort of Romance\SJW RPG Basically the underlying narrative would be about a character who wants to Romance every possible NPC in the game but at the same have to support numerous SJW causes ....we throw in a large amount of white male guilt and the game would be very exciting Who is with me !!! -
Only if you want to ruin it. Would pictures of really cute guys be acceptable....or still inappropriate

So... Netherlands has a population of 31,05? I might consider moving there if that's the case. I hate crowds. What I don't understand is why you say it's a joke, considering that turnout was over the 30% required by law to be binding. Doesn't that mean it's rather the referendum law that it's a joke then? What happens if the turnout doesn't reach the minimum threshold, the gov't can do whatever, or do they have to repeat it over and over? Regardless, how come most people you know didn't even know there was a referendum to begin with? I went back and read the article and its not binding this vote but the Dutch government may have to reconsider the deal which it already signed with Ukraine The 30 % threshold just means the vote is recognized ...but not binding I must say I misunderstood the article the first time I read it

Yes I am a mind reader....we have discussed this and I'm sure you agreed ?
-
Volo lets find some common ground here? I would agree that society generally takes the side of a women when she says " I have been raped " ....but thats not the same thing as the legal system finding the person automatically guilty ? Question for you, why do you think people like me tend to believe a women when she says " I've been raped " ?
-
No But the fact you don't give a " flying hoot " is because its not a big deal and this is credible because you are Dutch citizen If there was serious vote for the Netherlands to leave the EU I'm sure you would give a " flying hoot "
-
Good points raised TN, its important when we debate these events that the actual citizens of the countries comment as I would consider your views credible
-
Geez...I'm playing W3 now and its amazing Its hard to think of a Fallout 4 being even better than that ?

Discuss. Good work for posting a credible link Oby The Netherlands didn't back stab anyone as only 32 % of the Dutch people voted and then only 3/5 of those voters rejected the deal So that means only 20 % of the Dutch were against this Ukrainian deal , this would be a perfectly normal number of citizens in any EU country that would be considered " anti-EU " ( I'm rounding numbers up or down marginally for convenience ) Gert Wilders never ceases with the theatrics " Geert Wilders, who leads the anti-EU and anti-Islam Freedom Party, said the result was the "beginning of the end for the EU". This entire vote does not reflect anything that we dont know ....people are unhappy with the EU. For me they dont represent the majority of EU citizens

http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85040-us-elections-2016/?p=1794586 It was a rule put in place in 2012 in order to **** with Ron Paul and make it look like the party was united behind Mitt Romney. Now it is the other way around and the party thinks that it is open season against Trump. How can you be familiar with the rule yet not familiar with it's history? Look up it's history, and that should tell you all you need to know. Okay thanks Meshugger, I understand the history now Vals lets try to have a debate without being dismissive, I accept I have been dismissive in the past but one of the problems with our debates is we seem to talk past each other or we end up debating the person and not point ....both are not necessary So for example my whole question was not about the history of the Rule 40 (b) but rather how applicable nowadays it is to Trump and him winning the candidacy? And it appears to be relevant ..end of the day I want Trump to get the Republican candidacy because I believe Hilary will have an easier time beating Trump than Cruz
-
Guys within the Republican voting system people are now discussing the Rule 40 (b) which is defined as " Rule 40(b), which requires a presidential candidate to win eight states to qualify for the nomination" So I'm confused, if only Trump has won 8 states how can he not be the Republican candidate....assuming no one else wins 8 states which doesn't seem to be the overall trend despite Cruz's success in places like Iowa and Wisconsin ?

I finally got around to playing Witcher 3 and the best way to describe the game is .....epic !! I'm loving it, I am exploring the various areas and I am thoroughly enjoying the open world aspect of the game. It took me 20 hours before I killed the first Griffon endboss. I also travel off the normal path when I travel to a destination...which leads to some interesting encounters causing me to have to run for my life...my 4th level Witcher ran into a 12th level bear for example I never use the Fast Travel signposts...well I have once or twice but I prefer just getting on Roach and seeing what the world offers when I go from one destination to another. I have also removed some of the automatic Map features that make finding things like " Places of Interest " obvious , this also makes the exploration more exciting What a game, well done CDPR...I cant wait to carry on playing today
