What is the Hivemind?

[Angel Tarragon]

Exactly, actually infrareds aren't going to be that lucky but for the most part that's along the right lines.

If you say so.

how about pie that's been sitting under a heat lamp for days.

something like that....

That's classified information, citizen. Are you questioning the word of the computer?

And Kirinke starts to count quietly, with an insane grin on her face. "One.... Two.... Three... Four.... Five...." and she continues to count quietly, just to show that she can. It is probably a good idea to stay well away from somebody who is counting quietly, because they know the true nature of the universe. After all. The universe is based on mathematical principles and counting is just the beginning....

"Six, seven, eight..." she continues, grinning as reality begins to shimmer around her in an unsettling way.

I'm crafting a Paranoia adventure based on this.

Yeah, I'll be watching that.

I avoid the topic in real life, so it's not hard for me to avoid it on the boards.

I've seen waaay too many arguments start in what was previously polite company. Just not worth it, and people never want to see things differently. At least, rarely.

So do I. I don't care for RL politics and any online usually turn into flame wars as people feel strongly about their side of things. Just like with religion.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Alarmed, sure. Worried, alright. Afraid? Why, are you scary?

- Kemrain the Amused. The Very Amused.

Very.

Don't say we didn't warn ya...

What?! You don't like religion?! My pantheon will have you smoten!!

For some reason, that reminds me of the ASL sign for "concept." I joke that it looks more like "head explosion."

And my one deity and his Son will smite back!

I didn't say I didn't like religion. I just see discussion of it as being too much of a hotbed to do without ALOT of board moderation. I've seen a board on AOL where "anything goes (and it usually does)" and anything religious in nature turns into a flame war that makes a nuke seem like a blizzard in comparison. I believe in what I believe and don't try to push it onto others or say that one is "going to hell" for not believing the way I do. That's not my way. I just prefer to not make things get heated because I believe one way and someone else believes another and there's no way we can meet "in the middle". Our gaming group keeps religion, unless it's IN THE GAME, out of any conversation because we're a mix of Christians and Pagans. That and it's just as forbidden in the hosts' house as it is here. We can talk about the Church of Pelor in a game but not Christianity or Paganism (to use the two we have in the group that I know of....)
