really playing god

Come on 'Babe' , at least give us a teaser...

 

If cloning human is playing God, then this idea must be being God.

Be sure to hear the story. It takes about 9 minutes and it's pretty well made .

Does the term 'hubris' have any meaning here?  "

And lose the 'wisdom' of the moderator staff?!? ( God, that makes even me want to open a vein :D ).

 

Quiet Gorth, you're only encouraging me. I can get into enough trouble without your help.

You have chosen to ignore tarna. View this post

I hadn't seen his post when I wrote that comment. The double meaning of modding as world building and moderator work being completely unintentional, I swear

WTF?

Un-ignore tarna

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ther's something that doesn't happen often. :D

 

Back on topic dammit!! Where's my modstick?

 

What might be the ramifications of some drunken lab-rat with these possibilities?

 

More importantly, how would you make the universe if you got the chance to 'be God for a day'? ( Union rules, He's gotta get a day off once in a while )

if you meant it as world building, you wouldn't be able to do anything to it after you made it anyway. so it'd be like making your mod and never being able to play it

Gods and Moderators are so closely akin that I can see where the mistake might have been make ( pardon me while I go wash my mouth out now ).

Interesting concept. No "Holy Ghost" to facilitate communication between my creation and me?

 

It might lose a bit of it's incentive then, if I can't even receive prayers and adulation from my subjects, nor punish then at a whim when I feel peevish (I've played too much Populous (Sp?)).

 

Let's just for a moment assume then, that I take the same kind of pleasure in my creation that a painter might get from a new painting then, i.e. joy derived from the creation process itself, maybe making a few dollars too if I could sell it to a collector.

 

Hmmm, what would go in there? Crates, Sewers and Ritual Virgin Sacrifice for sure

 

Kidding aside though, it's a tough question, especially if you have limited or no interaction with events inside your creation. I need to think a bit more about this

Make that Lye Soap

Very nice. On that note, I think I'll take a nap on some of my native soil.

G'night all.

paintings are different though, they don't do anything after you're done. it'd bug me to make a universe and not do anything with it

On topic...

 

Humans create universes everyday, if we take into account the concept of Microcosm.

 

Our blood cells or the bacteria that exist in our bodies, for example.

 

Cells themselves are built like the universe, or at least like a galaxy, with a nucleus around which revolves other entities, much like planets revolve around a star.

 

So, Tarna chases out a new poster and he gets praise for it? Not to be an ass, but that should be grounds for terminating one's moderator status.

G'night all.

G'night? Sheesh... Other deities work six days a week... tirelessly

 

Well, when you wake up, I've got a few burning questions for you in your exalted capacitiy then, what's the deal with creationists and evolutionists? How big and how old is the universe and what was Jack the Rippers true identity?

 

For those of you who missed it, mkreku has been made official greeter for the boards.

A promising career start. He has all the diplomatic skill of Vyacheslav Molotov ^_^

The way I see it, all tarna did was inform the lady that her link would be more inviting with a bit of information about what it actually was.

 

Putting him on ignore for that was petty and childish. Her reaction was uncalled for, and you are being an ass for considering that reason enough to fire a mod.

I tried... :'(

I'm pretty sure she ignored him for his using the word babe and putting it in quotes. Usually when someone does that they're being sarcastic.

 

If I were a girl, and I'd definitely be a hot one, and Tarna called me babe I'd kick him in the junk.

Once again, and I know I've said this before, while I really like this community (And the strange, hysterical, and flat out disturbing **** that comes from it) it bothers the **** out of me that some of you can be bigger jackasses than I am. That's an accomplishment, believe me.

 

On topic: In my universe, everyone would get a free kitten.....only the kittens would be set to explode five years later. Why, it'd be...Nuclear ****!

I can't wait until we meet our exact selves, only 10^(10^118) meters away from this very spot!
