What you did today
Wow, that's an impressive list. Do you do it all by hand? I would imagine a plot that big would require some motorized tiller.

What are you growing? A friend of mine plants a garden every year with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc... and always has an overflowing bounty that he cant eat and passes the extras to me.

I don't quite follow, why does anyone care about what someone else is using as a gaming system?

That's a good point. I take for granted that that my connection is rock solid.

At a minimum you have DSL, right Tep? Are you worried that the "phoning home" disk registration on the new consoles wont work properly at that speed or something else? Even Steam downloads may take you a bit longer but after that what about being "always online" makes you feel you will have problems?

What you did today
Gah, I would never make it as a contract worker or commission only sales rep. I need the mental security of knowing exactly what I will be paid and that it will happen like clockwork every two weeks. How do you contract workers find new contracts? Is there a online government system where prospective employers advertise job or something else?

Limiting rest areas
And we have reached our closed loop nirvana. That didn't take long.

Limiting rest areas
And that was already in your control. Careful, weve almost come full circle, "cant control self" is peeking around the corner.

Yeah, the calendar was a dead give away. Reminds me of the pictures that Russian girl takes when traveling through Pripyat.

Limiting rest areas
So you choose the "unrealistic" defense when deciding how others should play. *nods* All of that was already directly within your control for every IE game made. Whether or not a player chooses to "break" their game is their failing, not mine. But we can agree on a slider or check box.

Racism, sexism & bigotry
As far as I remember, all players and NPC's have a soul. Im not sure if that carries over to the bestiary.

Limiting rest areas
Sadly, no. The people interested in controlling how you play your game have many shifting reasons why it wont work, from it being "unrealistic" to "it breaks the game" to "verisimilitude" and everything in between. My personal favorite is the group that claims to be physically incapable of not pressing the "rest" button. That's right, apparently there are people that suffer under a crippling affliction that prevents them from not pressing any button labeled "rest". This condition does not manifest itself on any other button title, only the "rest" button, and in their opinion the only way to fix this is to force everyone else in the world to rest at specific locations. True story.

Rolf, stay classy. There are no topic limits. If posters feel that they have already spread their opinions on other threads then they can always take the opportunity to not post in this one.

Hunting scamper
WRT hunting, I don't have a problem as long as the animal is "used" (eaten, fur used for something, etc...). I do have a problem with killing animals for pure sport like shooting a rhino or elephant just to mount the head on your wall. Also, no killing endangered stuff. As to your question, power fists would be totally awesome but I would prefer gladiatorial mecha battles between humans. It doesn't have to be to the death, just until one mecha is incapacitated.
