  1. Eddo, you can't vote twice.
  2. What's the question? Is it okay for men to sculpt themselves, like women do? I don't see any imperative for men to do so, after all "sexy" is defined differently for males and females. Females need to be look in peak health in the early stages of their child-bearing years, so the emphasis has (unnaturally) moved to an extreme, whereby women seem to be chasing some phantom of a baby-face and barbie proportions. (as an aside, the "heroin chic" look is a result of gay men in the fashion industry masculinizing the female form into an adrogenous middle-sex: certainly tall and slim is a better clothes-horse.) Men, on the other hand, are defined by their achievements: their power in society (quite often money is equated as short-hand). So men having cosmetic surgery would only be for vanity's sake. Except that their is also a worrying trend of ageism in the workplace: people over fifty seem to be discriminated against and the discrimination is not politically incorrect yet. Apart from the above, the only other reason for plastic surgery is for those who suffer from body-dysmorphic disorder (a mental disorder where they exaggerate their flaws and cannot live with them).
  3. It's more testing familiarity with platitudes and numerical significances: number of players in a team, for example, would be easy for someone who has played the sport, but not so straight forward if that sport were not played in their country. Not intelligence, though, that's true.
  4. Still, I didn't like Deus Ex:Invisible War because one could play one faction (like the main Denton one) right up until Liberty Island and then choose any ending you liked. Which was kinda silly.
  5. I found their hideout without even trying. "
  6. Sounds like some of the home economics results from someone I know ... "
  7. I guess I'll have to start playing again, just so I can read all the spoilers!
  8. Fat = Wrong obviously
  9. Already sounds like an excuse ..! " @Topic: maybe there should be apologies, like in a meeting: characters not around because of apologized role-players ... might be rested (sent off ahead on guard duty for the trail / back for supplies) ... those without apologies would just slowly die from some terminal and permanently disfiguring disease ...
  10. Been watching Friends, Eddo? " If I could understand what you wrote, I might have a comment (or even be insulted). All I can surmise is that you are selfish.
  11. When you make up your mind, if it is different to the vote cast, let me know and I can change it for you. (That's lucky!)
  12. So Jungian synchronicity is a hoax? There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Hamlet, Act I, Scene V (188-9)
  13. I down with that. Perhaps there should be a couple of teams of players? Or understudies, for those that don't turn up? Baley, assuming you want to DM, what games have you Mastered?
  14. It's okay, DN, Queen Anubis wasn't being critical. "
  15. Any DMs, with experience? I've done a bit, just AD&D (played a bit of D&D basic, but mainly 2.x). Not much else as PnP. But I'd go for Eldar as DM.
  16. Just unlucky, I guess.
  17. ... And yet youdidn't vote.
  18. What about absentees, drop-outs and general tardiness? How is that to be handled? Let's have some ideas.
  19. Can't be worse than the stuff they gave the Apollo astronauts ... I was watching the documentaries on the Apollo 13 DVD and they described the cutting-edge food science used in the 1970s ... "
  20. You would, eventually. And don't think that some entrepreneur won't notice a gap in the market, and package new games onto DVDs for those who don't have an internet connection yet. Good. This would bring a lot of much needed structure to the development cycle. A lot of games are written for common engines, like Unreal Tournament, so it can work. What is needed is a set of standards (naming, for a start), version control with Check-In / Check-Out, etc.
  21. If they are modern armed forces rations, then I would expect that they have been designed perfectly.
  22. Or pirate the Lucas films for some private ... err ... goal?
  23. Really? Okay. Takes all types, I guess ...
  24. I wonder how many forumites were born after the introduction of Koninklijke Philips Electronics' snazzy invention, the CD ...
