Assuming high point requirement = more advanced technology:

>Quantum computing technology: 5 point requirement

>Particle accelerators: 15 point requirement

>Cold fusion reactors: 5 point requirement

>Orbital platforms: 10 point requirement

>Star Trek Magic Engine (Impulse Drive): 10 point requirement

With ample respect paid to the state of modern technology, please tell me that I'm not the only one that sees the problem here.
Was about to draft a sheet. Saw rules 1-9 and ran for the hills.

Have fun with the RP I guess.
Well, I can help you with the world-building bit, but Co-GMing (or GMing for that matter) was never my strong-point.

Deist/Atheist Hitler


Still currently under debate by historians; Hitler's religious views were obscured and not completely known. One side mentions that the man never left the church completely (his mother was a stern Catholic and Hitler himself was baptized at an early age), while others state that Hitler was a full-blown atheist through-and-through. His habit of remaining politically-correct in the face of his Christian German supporters only makes Hitler's Nazi Germany a poor backing for your argument because of this (had the man followed in Warlord Atheist Stalin's footsteps and actually had a raging hate-boner for religion, he would have murdered every Jew, Christian and anything not denouncing the Almighty ASAP and with horrifying efficiency).

And, I don't think the Holocaust was strictly over religion, but was rather a violent socioeconomic-driven backlash against the Jewish people at the hands of the German masses. Needed someone to blame for the disaster that was WWI after all. Made Hitler look good too in the eyes of disgruntled Germans.

Let's bump your figure down to approximately 50 million then.
2 days of non-activity doesn't mean a dead roleplay.

I swear to fuck, people going absolute apeshit over a lack of nonstop posting is what really turns me off of this site.

Well, that and Mahz's coding, but that's an entirely different complaint altogether.

EDIT: The double-posting/white screen issue is the perfect taste of irony.

Come up with over 140,000,000 deaths since 1700 caused by the religious. In fact, you may begin with 140,000,000 deaths period and proceed from there.


Why exactly 140,000,000?

Care to be a little less vague?


You cling desperately to a single point that you perceive as legitimate in an effort to trump the person you're debating. Your Communism Is Violent argument is an excellent example of what I'm talking about; you also use this argument as a way to nullify the negative past-doings of religion (Hindu Persecution by Muslims/Crusades/ect), which I suspect is a knee-jerk reaction initiated by your own strong affiliation with Mormonism and (to a lesser extent) Conservatism. If that Nuke Russia; the United States Cannot Fall thread you made about a month ago is anything to go by, I'd say you're ragging on Communism because it conflicts with your chosen political tribe's pro-capitalist leanings.

As for people in this thread flagging religion as a universal force of evil---I refute that, but I'm not going to ignore the elephant in the room either.

You have not and I have not. Your contrived semantic explanation was not sufficient and the moment I changed to "non-religious governments and societies are on the whole more violent" rather than "Killing in the name of atheism" which your sophistical efforts could defend against, you decided to give up. Now answer the question.


This post represents why debating with you is pointless.

You make a sound point.Right, I will re-phrase the requirements for custom species. I require players to substantially detail their creations CHARACTERISTICS (not necessarily strengths and weaknesses, just what they are), I can then determine if it is acceptable for the RP or not. I think this should remove a significant amount of the clutter on the sheets (I was a bit annoyed about that).Edit done. Please look over modified race category on sheet.
