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'?

Gorth Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) 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 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.

astr0creep Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be an ass, but that should be grounds for terminating one's moderator status. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowstrider Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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.

LoneWolf16 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 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 ****!
