What's the appropriate gesture for such an occasion? I'm not sure pouring out a 40 applies here. Lol, Im not sure. I haven't played in months but now I feel a bit anxious and have an uncomfortable feeling that someone somewhere is teabagging the corpse of my beloved mage. Yikes! Does DDO only reward XP for completing the entire objective? No kill XP?

Well, I did it. I unsubbed from WoW. February 2005 to May 2013. It was a good run. I think I need to go pour myself a shot of whiskey.

That's totally fine. We just had a long winded discussion on that matter and it was determined that the morality of killing other people is acceptable as long as you really really need to save your own hide. And you feel bad afterwards. Ok, I made up that last part.

Where are all the white knights to protest the topless Cean Gula? Its totally unrealistic that any monster would go into battle topless and I can clearly see the breast shape. HORROR!

Rofl, you don't even know what to whine about. If you're going to run and panicking at least have the good form to do it about things that probably will have an impact in your lifetime, like the impending collapse of the oceans ecosystems or the catastrophic losses of bee colonies.

Look, this will no doubt cause bitter tears but I really dont care about things that are beyond my control and no, I dont directly care about some anonymous hardships some strangers may suffer. The Earth will be perfectly habitable for my family and my families next generation and beyond that, nothing I can do about it.

Did they send you home with a blood pressure cuff so you could check it yourself?

Of course the answer to that question is, it depends on which end of the gun you are standing. If its "someone else" getting killed its very easy to climb upon a pedestal and make sweeping generalizations about civilized behavior and morality. When the barrel is pointed at your head all those grand thoughts go out the window and all of a sudden its ok to kill someone else to save yourself. Human nature.

Huh, I didn't know everyone could do the double-tap slide, I thought that was a Tiefling racial feature. I think "recovery" influences how fast you can perform actions after doing certain things but I could be totally wrong about that. I know it takes my mage a second or two to begin casting again after performing the dodge maneuver.

So you feel JadedWolf meant: Only in matters of capital punishment, its uncivilized and they feel its wrong to kill people no matter what, but in matters of self preservation its totally ok but they would feel bad? I guess that's as good an explanation as were going to get with statements like that.

Have you bothered to read the thread? This is all just one page back.

Um, yeah, I had read the previous 101 posts but thanks for the summary on what this thread topic is about. Meanwhile, sometimes thread topics drift. Im curious as to where a person that feels killing is wrong "no matter what" except when their life depends on in, really draws the line.

You're not even really engaging in a discussion at this point, you're just ridiculing my point of view. Well, you'll excuse me if I don't really feel like wasting my time talking to you, then. Don't you think its more likely that you don't want to face yourself? I mean, Im just some disembodied voice on the interweb trying to understand your point. Just a few posts ago you stated that you believe it is wrong to kill "no matter what". Now we have established that you would in fact kill someone to take their life preserver to save yourself (while feeling terrible about it of course). This can be reasonably extrapolated to; you would kill someone else to save yourself in any situation where your life depended on it. All Im trying to figure out is where your "morals" really kick in.

Not semantics, just poking holes in the absurdity of "its wrong to kill people, no matter what". I bet you would also kill if someone was pistol whipping dear old mum, or trying to snatch your kids, or any number of reasons that suddenly become "justifiable instinct" in your head. Its all exactly the same as willfully killing someone.

You wouldn't feel guilty, you would be dead:

I say a lot with a little. I agree, small-minded nationalism is super relevant to the topic. "Now we can ignore a problem which the scientific community has reached a near-complete consensus on for another 50+ years!" Not to mention the fact that the US' primary trade relationship is with China, a country powered overwhelmingly by coal, a country whose rampant, if unequal, economic growth is leading to an emulation of capitalist materialism, further exacerbating the situation. The petty nationalism expressed by certain individuals is irrelevant to the issue of the thread. Maybe a red herring, maybe some kind of ill-thought "argument" that "If we have more oil, then it logically follows that climate change is a conspiracy by Big Science to [insert right-wing conspiracy theory here]! Also stop begging us to play world police, arabs! The US has never interfered with the internal politics and sovereignty of any foreign country, especially in the middle east, to further its own political goals and the economic goals of its most powerful individuals and corporations!" All that red faced arm waving is actually kind of true. Im very happy my country will have enough natural resources to eventually stop importing oil and become an exporter. Makes for more countries under our sphere of influence too. I also don't give a rats ass about global warming. The Earth will be perfectly suitable for life during mine and my daughters lifetime and beyond that the whole place can go to Planet of the Apes for all I care. But I don't want to let you down so I will also disclose that Im always down for a good invasion to take what we need. Maybe we can invade Venezuela and build a humongous underwater pipeline to Japan?

X-47B makes historic carrier launch.

Id love to hear how you feel they got there in the first place.

Amen brother.

Didn't Bendu hook you up with XCOM BruceVC?

US shale oil supply shock rocks global power balance. Booyah.

There is no good or evil in P:E, only reputations.

^Or auto pause on enemy sighted.

Condolences TN.

I always just equip whichever pieces of gear say "recommended". Im sure that, along with some suspect Powers and Feat choices, will come back to bite me soon. Reached level 30 and met a dungeon end boss that actually killed me. I stared at the screen long and hard and then logged off to think about what I had done.
