The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Actually, I think acid would do the trick.

you can kill a fungus in many ways. It's the use of the word murder I had a problem with.

Murder is the malicious and unlawful killing of one human being by another. Murder is distinguished from other forms of homicide by the elements of intent and the lack of justification.

a fungus is not a human being. It could be possible that he could be murdered in mammalian form as he puts it.

Okay ... back ... doing brainless activities so can come in here and say hello.

Hmm ... of course in DnD terms the word "murder" can change based on the culture/race that is applying the laws. :\

Remember the talk of the Great Goblin to the dwarves in The Hobbit? He called them "murderers and elf-friends" just for carrying Orcrist.

Wha?! ... Oh, hi Fru. (I wasn't REALLY asleep on my watch....)

Sorry bout that.

Books. Yes. I am currently listening to a dramatic rendering of The Silver Chair and am reading (as in the 'ole "nightbook table book") a book called

The Enlargement of the Heart

It's a collection of talks given in 2001 here in America. It's a religious type book. I had originally had only recordings of the talks and really enjoyed them so I was thrilled when they became available in book form too.

S'about it for the moment in terms of "non-work" related stuff.

Yerself?

Yerself?

I dug out my copy of My Side of the Mountain (Jean Craighead George) last night. I haven't read it in a very long time. It is one of my favorite childhood books.

Remember what we were chatting about last night on AIM (connections between humans and animals)? Well, Sam Gribley made that same connection with an eagle, which he named Frightful.

Ah, good memories.

It's subjective. I don't know if many humans would say killing a Mycanoid is murder. There will be some but not a majority. Killing is as close as we can get. Elves and dwarves could be different. They are more human like and we would identify more with them than a fungus that walks and talks.

In the DnD world prolly not many laws'd be passed amongst human/humanoid culturestaking myconid into consideration ... especially b/c usually laws take into consideration the members of a society. Myconid shy away from society. If you invaded a myconid colony though, and killed many of them the king would prolly consider it to be murder.

Killing is fine with me in terms of identifying the action.

You back at home btw?

That sounds like a good example of what we were talking about.
