[quote who="djcityscapes" reply="178" id="2561114"]I do not believe there is enough scientific data to support AGW. "No statistcially significant global warming in the past 15 yeas" is a very damning set of scientific data against AGW. There are just too many uncertainties and unknowns for anyone to pin warming on anything specific. I'm not about to hand over my freedoms without a fight because some pathological liar like Algore stands to benefit. Gore has invested heavily in carbo
yep, plenty of spin on both sides, no doubt about it. But if you dig down past the spin on the skeptical side what do you find? This is what confuses me. I see lots of bullshit from both sides, but at least some of our bullshit is based on scientific data. What is yours based on?
DJ, This is a perfect example of the disconnect, thank you. 1. You cite a never-published paper by an endocrinologist as your first source. 2. Before the paper was publically available in 'pre-published' form it was used at length in a post by good ol' Christopher Monckton without citation. You remember Monckton , right? I wonder how he got a
http://www.mindfully.org/Industry/Philip-Morris-Czech-Study.htm You guys remember this? Philip Morris did a study for the Czech government and determined: "Public finance saved between 943 mil. CZK and 1,193 mil. CZK (realistic estimate:1,193 mil. CZK) from reduced health-care costs, savings on pensions and housing costs for the elderly -- all related to the early mortality of smokers . Among the positive effects, excise tax, VAT and health care cost savi
[quote]I would if I thought it would be beneficial. There's no amount of evidence that would change your mind. Even if we were 10 years into the next nice age, people like you would turn it around and demand action because after all, it must be our fault.[/quote] I'd like to see your evidence too. Mumble provides sheets and sheets of data and all you do is bleat. As he pointed out he's not talking to the pure denialists, he's talking to the undecided, or to the ske
[quote]I will happiuly buy demigod 2, but not if they take minions out or revamp to only one effing minion.[/quote] The problem with the current system is that once you have minions they don't cost anything, and you get nothing for killing them. That makes balancing them very tricky - if you make them even slightly effective they are overpowered. We've gotten to a point, a year after release, where Erb and Oak have effective minions that don't instantly own in casu
[quote who="pacov" reply="5" id="2557412"]Is there anyone at GPG or SD seriously considering DG 2? If so, I can't imagine it will be something coming out in the next 2 years, though.[/quote] [quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="2548145"] I don't think the DG concept will die. Demigod is a great game. Either GPG will make a sequel or Stardock will ultimately make a game that is in the same genre (with special pricing for Demigod players - you can quote me on that) to expand
- It's clear that if Demigod has a long tale it will be with a diminishingly small group of committed players. - If and when GPG develops the property further it will most likely be in terms of a sequel, not an expansion. Let's talk about what that sequel should look like. Hopefully if the feedback is good it will get back to GPG and we'll see the distilled results in a couple of years. With any mechanics or UI or anything that bugs
Goretites! They surround us and they are cannibals! Your sister, your mother, your son!!! All might hail the reptilian Gore-master as their lord! You remember those two marines who dropped a puppy off a cliff on youtube a year or two ago? Yah, reliable sources inform me they were Goretites and members of the AGW camp. I also hear that in the AGW camp scientists have been selling baby organs to the CIA for crack which Taliban soldiers smoke right b
[quote]So when you encounter a skeptic you should give them the benefit of the doubt, after all they may in fact be that one out of a thousand that might have some idea of what they are talking about. And if they are willing to argue reasonably, by arguing against the actual argument you make as opposed to the lies that they put into your mouth, then fine. You've found the one person out of a thousand with which you can have a reasonable discussion.[/quote] That's the issue for me.&nb
Re: portal capping - It was a great day when we figured that out. See link. Holding Enemy Portal Gives HUGE XP and Gold Sorry for the threadjack, Drasonic, but if you ever want feedback on play with a DG other than Rook, Sedna, or QOT I'll be happy to comment ;)
[quote]Again a principal fallacy by the Goritites .[/quote] Goritite. So awesome. I need a T Shirt or something. Sometimes I think you are a highly intelligent AGW proponent channeling the ultimate parody Denialist. If so I salute you, sir, because you make me laugh every day and you really know your audience. If, OTOH, you honestly believe the ludicrous tripe you spout like it's self-evident then I'll point out once again - you do mor
I really love the human adaptability argument, Moosetek. If we nuked every major city on oceanic coastlines it would be fine, right? People can adapt to circumstances. We just have to accept the radiocative new terrain because it's like Mother Nature, man. And if we can't adapt to Mother Nature then, like, maybe humanity's time has passed, you know? TL;DR - Denialists shouldn't be allowed to smoke pot ^^ For the nth time (pay atte
[quote]Check a couple pages back, ke5trel agreed to the nomination, just didn't discuss like you wanted. No one's also argued against it which you see more then people agreeing.[/quote] I think the issue will be resolved with a few games and I look forward to seeing them play out. Also I'd like to testify that this list and lagwars are a double-edged blade: On one hand I'm getting a ton more really good, close games between coordinated teams and I have a resourc
[quote who="pacov" reply="855" id="2548296"] Close to flawless = near perfect = not what I've seen in these guys. I've seen solid play out of them in past, to be sure, but I don't have such a high opinion of them or anyone else (including myself) to consider someone's play to be close to flawless. Perhaps all you are saying is that no one makes any stupid mistakes and equating that with "close to flawless." [/quote] I don't have a dog in this race, just ta
@Pacov All in good fun with the GM Tier 1 thing - Let's look at the member list: Janook Renz0kuken NinkiCZ McShane87 Hemp_Boy Orcun ProneG Mithrandar Morpheas768 Take out the people who are already tier 1 and you get: Renz0kuken Hemp_Boy ProneG Mithrandar Morpheas768 I've PUG'd with all of these guys at one time or another and they are in the top 5-10% players.

[quote]His level 7-10 is flat-out terrifying. But I think that he starts to lose it compared to many other tier 1 and 2 demigods end-game.[/quote] I'll agree with that. It's not going to matter in most games but if it drags then Oc is in trouble against Carry DGs. [quote]...he gets raped by creeps/minions endgame because he has horrific armor. He basically chooses to either oom himself killing them or go back to base due to lack of health.[/quote] OOM
[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="5" id="2542851"] Rook + Occ is a Tier 1 combination. They can decimate a tower from level 1. I'm not sure of, well, anything that can counter it. Don't take the sekkritz I tell you and put it all over the forums [/quote] Yah Occ is also really good with TB
[quote]He OOMs himself too quickly.[/quote] Once he hits L5 that's less of a problem, and you can gear him mana and kite until mid-late. I hear people saying Oc has no mana on Cata but I really haven't run into that issue
It's almost not worth posting because it's common sense, and I certainly can't say it's "my" build, but I don't see enough respectable cows out there so I thought I'd post it. Seriously, if you are playing Oculus another way it's probably because this is EZ-mode boring or something, but please don't try to tell me anything else works nearly as well. You don't really need a build order for this Oc, just remember two simple steps: Step 1. Pu
[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="296" id="2541618"]Thundercles is an awesome TB player. He totally pwned Ke5trel (hybrid oak) 1v1 in the mana lane as TB.[/quote] Aw man, I wish I had a replay. I don't remember that game at all :/ Who else was playing and when did we play? Also, fun little game last night, Teseer Edit: Splitshadow, I think you were playing with a different Oak, not seeing anything like that in my history. It doesn't really matter except
