[QUOTE="Apepsnake, post: 7618042, member: 6942353"] I just dont find doing this 2 step program every time I make a time/high lord to actually be good design 1: find another time lord, copy, and paste that somewhere 2: change name, defense, maybe the health, and abilities and you're done I find that to just be lazy think of it like this: entire 1-20 campaign, all of the enemies you fight are the same goblin, only with 1 or 2 more health and AC for every level you go up living nightmare, hence why im moving on to something else im also pretty sure I could code a python module and program to make time lords endlessly. if you can get a simple program relying on a module to make something, you know the design is bad and thus the product will be bad. an AI could do better, as could an advanced program, but the product wont be as good as what you yourself could make simply out of being too rigid. humans evolved creativity and problem solving literally to be able to get around problems, the same reason a fish and a cow have different muscle structure. If everything is exactly the same, no matter what, it [I]will[/I] fail. having each and every time lord be different and unique makes far more sense, even in theoretical physics, than anything else. Take planets for instance. we have found multiple candidates for earth-like planets, yet despite the nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere, abundance of carbon and silicon and H2O, the chances of humans actually being able to live on that planet are still next to none; this is because the chances of two planets being exactly alike are next to none. Venus, Mars and Earth are radically different despite being so close together. I'd say that to the bacteria on the floor in your bathroom and on your skin think that the entire planet is the whole entire universe. and we can compare Planets to Universes, and so we can compare the Stars to Quantum fluctuations; stars are the reason all elements that aren't hydrogen even exist in the first place, and quantum fluctuations were the building blocks of the early universe and pre-universe. really, because elder ones have such undeniable variety compared to time lords, id say that rebuilding time lords to be individuals instead of machines made for a single purpose is really the only viable conclusion. sorry for the giant wall of text [/QUOTE]
