Sparklehorse - It's a wonderful life

I am no stoner, and my nick derives from a sonic poem by Sonic Youth.

I agree this thread's gone mad and that the discussion has gone absurd, but I just wanted to supply a rational base for "morals", as was asked by Justinian.
And you got me wrong when you interpret what I meant with "social". People have the need, in their own time, to communicate with others. That doesn't mean you can retreat into solitude (remember Rousseau's "return to nature" and his "einzelg

That's older than me! About 6 months...

It reminds me of "tubular bells" by Mike Oldfield!

Without reading the entire thread, I'd like to point out J J Rousseau's theory about the social environment.

His theory (and it's still in use) is that a human being is a social being. He needs social interaction to be natural, a lack of this interaction would mean the person is sick and dislodged from its nature.
Now, when 2 people interact, they agree on what he calls "a social contract", in wich they regulate eachother's "rights". These social contracts are made with everyone you come in touch with and this is what forms your morality. Thus, morality is needed in order to keep the social environment going, without it, it'd collapse and everyone would be unwhole and psychologically disturbed..

ROFL

Gaining control over a vast ship like that is 1 thing, getting away with it and selling its cargo is another

Well, what a surprise! X(

It's getting really annoying being killed in the first 24 hours over and over again. It's getting nearly impossible for me to play (cause if I don't die, I must be mob, right?) and that means it's time to stop. This was my last participation.. Thanks for the fun I had while playing this game, and good luck town!

What's the difference with other games?

My personal view is that it's pretty lame that people blame their loss on the game mods. In my honest opinion, they did it very well, and it must be noted that it wasn't different from the previous one.

However, it seems that this rather new way of telling the story (wich I find a lot more fair towards the mobsters) is a bit of a change (and challenge). The differnce is quite limited though, and the right interpretations were never really that hard to conclude (apart from the one arsy and elro admit to be ambiguous about). So, if you missed it, it's your own bloody fault, nothing more, nothing less. I was able to conclude the right things all the time, and thus should have everyone (if you all talked). What is wrong with this game is that half the people were just lingering idlers who didn't think for themselves (or even bother to show up in chat. Half of the time it was mobbies discussing amongst eachother with a rare towny). If anyone's to blame, it's them lads (and I could easily name people: jesnt, Rockon, Chees), for not showing up regularly in IRC. I'm highly dissapointed in the ones who ended this game gecause of this (the only one who was really in a position to blame someone was Lex). It shows nothing immaturity.

For the game moderators, I feel nothing but gratitude, and I think it's grand they admitted their mistake, and they shouldn't be hacked upon. Again, the players made a lot more mistakes..

"Alright, this round's writing is bs. The idea of the stories is to allow the players to get some insight on what's going on and allow the story to unfold, not to keep everyone guessing. You're not even letting out the names of the supposed targets ffs!"

Bollocks. This new style of writing makes it very fair. The targetted roles are protected (remember the saved me, and the role conversion of me after it while I knew every single secret role), it makes it a lot more fair for the sk and mobbies, and it hightens the suspension.

Yes, Lex sort of lost all sort of credibility now

After a long and thorough chat with Lex, I've decided to vote Lynns.

He claims lynns is the godfather (or the sorcerer equivalent). I have some doubts however, it's something that must be done..
