The thing about gaming is that one cannot let it take over the entireity of your identity. If your identity consist beings solely of a gamer, then you need to "grow up". The problem is that these people are the ones least likely to stop gaming.

To be fair, I've heard Izzy TALK about playing it in a deck, even if I never saw him do it. He was probably just copying me, though.

And I don't even remember doing this. Was that in my original "Big Bats" deck? (For those who don't know, way back when, when DOR came out, I made a Big Bats deck with 1 Alfred and 3 Cosmic Radiations. It was a curve deck, that could go off-curve to play GCPD and Alfreds if it HAD to, but I was justifiably afraid of Total Anarchy and Flame Trap so I just played it curve and then on turn 7 drew a bunch of cards. Needless to say, when Big Bats ACTUALLY became a deck, I was greatly entertained. Oh, and, for the record, it was called "Cops with Leukemia".)

As for what you're saying, Orumceck, my point is that I don't think you can necessarily say that the quality of life is between Life and Death. My very point is that it is possible to have a life worst than death. If you believe in Heaven and actually think you're a good person, by definition death is better than life (and you're probably wrong, at least on the good person thing ;) ).

From a numerical sense, I would value Death at a "0" on the Quality of Life scale. And then someone's quality would be either positive or negative. If it was negative, they'd be better off dead. Now, keeping this in mind, if there were a substantial more negatives in the world than positives (both qualitatively and quantitatively), and you look at the fact that any action (short of the one I'd be suggesting) is incapable of increasing the Quality of Life total to a positive number (due to the both dependant and competitive natures of humanity), then it improves the total Quality of Life to kill everyone.

Think of it like Mass Euthanasia. For everyone.

Oh, and, DerangedBear, what if I don't wanna grow up? After all, I have been known to be a Toys 'R' (how do I turn the letters cutely backwards on these damned internet forum thingies) Us kid.

Also, I've always thought, since I was like 5, that it should be called Toys R 4 Us. After all, it's not like the store, nor its employees, nor the shoppers, are actually toys in and of themselves. (Well, short of the episode of Futurama where Bender adopted kids, in which one of them exclaimed, "Our daddy is a huge toy!" This was correct.)

You are all my toys. I am enjoying you too much to push the button just yet. Continue to be entertaining, or else.

Man, now, not only are we referred to as "toys" (which I assumes implies Sex Toys, because everything Stu says is a double entendre ["That's not true...and I'd like to double HER entendre!"]), but I have to know that Googgling Rian Fike will, once again, leave me with an amount of guilt, even if for some odd reason it's cut in half (I'm just assuming the other half is being replaced by an overwhelming desire to eat a banana...I MEAN, UH...).

I managed to press the wrong button (Quote instead of Edit).

Let's all just hope Stu doesn't press the wrong button. Then his toys would all be gone.

Now we come full circle to the topic of this thread.

Hoping that I will not kill you all is not a solution. Behaving yourselves like decent human beings and doing productive work in the world to help your fellow man and achieve real happiness... that might buy you some time.

To quote South Park:

"Oh, sorry, this is gayer than the pile."

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson:

"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

To quote Simpsons:

"I may not know art, but I know what I hate. And I don't hate this."

to quote me "the more I miss the less it effects me, so if you wanna continue talking about me behind my back, I'll likely fart"

and back to the topic what kinda question is this? The reason why is because its what we gotta do ITS WHAT I GOTTA DO!!

I really like Torch's summation, good life = :laugh:

Going with what profparm said, we can extend the life gradient to:

[Life-----------------Death--------------Anti-Life]

Here is an example of just killing. The anti-lifers (mass murderers, rapists, Slobodan Milosevics), are in fact better off dead, for all of us, because they destroy life by their very existence.

They're like the cancer cells of society. Of course, since life is innately valuable, it's important to be cautious in killing even the most heinous of people, though it may in the end be necessary.

In the Bible there is a city (Sodom and Gemora?) that is so wicked that God destroys it all. I think this is an example of profparm's "Mass Euthanasia."

Whether or not the Biblical city was real I don't know, but there aren't any modern cities in the world that have anything close to net-negative life behavior (except maybe Las Vegas : ), so it doesn't seem to be too big an issue.

Once a community were to tip toward such a net-negative scale, we would have Faction (see Federalist 10), and our life and liberty would be on the verge of destruction.

Every one here contributes to making their life and their community net positive. To contribute to the negatives is to bring it one step closer to destructive faction. Remember that kiddos.

I know some people who deserve to die.

Careful or you will lose your Hippy Image(TM)

You had a doom cops deck during a league multiplayer game. I remember clearly after someone attacked your cop you flipped wayne manor and you said "oh look! I gain an endurance and then i lose 1 endurance".

That game somebody had 6 drop doom out and you had 4 drop doom out and danny was running that sentinels og plot twist prime sentinels and had like 10 sentinel army characters out so nobody could play any plot twists.

i was playing sinsiter syndicate (with carnage)
wages was playing sinester syndicate/fantastic four
kevin was playing sinister syndicate (with caranage and hobgoblin)
You were playing doom cops
jason was playing xmen curve
forest was playing mutant city (force without jean grey)
forests friend was playing CE

at one time we had 2 carnages out so everyone had massive beats.

Jason ended up winning with his xmen curve. Me and danny teamed up and got rid of forest and his friends teir 1 jank.

Just to let you guyz know most teir 1 deck's cannot compete in multiplayer. x-stall, curved sentinels, & CE are good in multi player unless your opponents decide to take you out.

If you play squadron rush you will auto lose. if you play titans you will take out maybe 2 of your opponents and lose.

darkside elite is amazing in multiplayer (trok), sinister syndicate (carnage), arkham (mr. freeze, rat catcher 7 drop joker) crime lords (5 drop dracula, owl, stealing 1 drops), and of course doom is really good.

I think that was my favorite league tourny with you guyz.

Hold up. I need to check the title of this thread again. Is this "Should we be multi-player gaming?" I think I'm in the wrong section. (Which always makes me really happy.)
