Sorry for the assumption, I've just seen these kinds of threads made by people contemplating suicide and looking for the best way to do it. Just making sure you wouldn't end up as one of them. Regardless these kinds of threads are somewhat dangerous....  [Read More]

Well I'm sure it varies from person to person, but for me the best way to die is in the defense of another. Hopefully quickly. I hate long waits. Or maybe after a winning run on a drag strip. I certainly hope you aren't looking for ideas to use o...  [Read More]

Ben Franklin didn't know about polygraphs and polygraphs can be cheated. by both sides.... oh... and they are inadmissible in court... :D In fact I heard about at least one instance where they used a copier with a sheet of paper with "LIE"...  [Read More]

Nice Idea, but do we know that they'll even be guild's raiding and PVP? This is a bad thing to say cause I play SWG occasionally, but I keep having this recurring nightmare that the second i walk into tOR after creating my toon, every single inch of...  [Read More]

The parties did not want to risk what happened again, that is why it did not go to the electoral college. Read the Wikipedia article about how the college operates if you don't believe me. So Sayeth Wiki: Some nations with complex regional electorate...  [Read More]

The electoral college is the house and senate Nothing more. So it falls back to which party is in charge in office at that moment as to who wins. Negative. The number of electoral college members are determined by the number of representatives and se...  [Read More]

Take this as an example, Achilles; The Dems had 52 percent of the house and 51 in the senate in 2000. With the election this tight, and the demographics of the 2000 senate almost exactly opposite (54 rep in congress and 51 rep in the senate) for tho...  [Read More]

In the present system, all of the electoral votes of a state go to whoever is the front runner in that state. My suggestion in my own how to fix this is to divide up all of them by the proper percentages rather than merely throwing an entire state to...  [Read More]

3,600 years is a long time, but the Pit Droids are simple machines, though, so it's not impossible. Maybe the manufacturer went bankrupt. And, yes, you're right about military technology being reformatted for civilian use. I know, some of us like sar...  [Read More]

Yeah, Darth Vader's torture droid! I like your potential backstory for these. Great logic. Actually I used real military to civilian conversion as my basis. On the boat we had computers, the AN/UYK-7. They were made by IBM. You could shoot them with...  [Read More]

Actually it would make perfect sense. I mean it could be an early model. Might even be the same manufacturer. Think about it: An earlier model designed for combat. Later replaced with models designed for combat. The early version not being adaptable...  [Read More]

I read somewhere that having an ending that involves Revan and the Exile defeating the True Sith would be cheating and anti-climatic. And they would be right. To an extent. I would say that creating a 300-year gap with no logical explanation... th...  [Read More]

I would not go into more depth on something like a terrorist attack, but anyone who says the US ultimately won is wrong. They did much more damage than they ever dreamed and we, the US, suffered terrible losses from that event. Just because we endure...  [Read More]

Sorry, but I don't see how 9/11 fits with your argument. As much as I disliked what they did, you can't ignore that they took on a juggernaut like the US and won... because they used their enemies' agents against them. The best dramas I've seen are t...  [Read More]

Obsidian's K2 killed Revan by making him into a god. Then they conveniently sent him to do battle in unwinnable odds. If he made it out, it would have been a cheat. If he died in the game it is no different than hearing great stories of heroism. The...  [Read More]

That's not entirely accurate. TFU created an entirely new story with a new character, but just as easily done something completely different. The 300 year gap had already carved certain things in stone. I wanted to see Revan and the Exile end their s...  [Read More]

No, what it really does is not concern them. Whether or not they find it reprehensible, for them to block it because they feel uncomfortable is unjust and immoral. I don't care if you sweat a little more because you have to think about two women ma...  [Read More]
