  1. I in no way attacked you, so not sure where your coming at with that statement. I quoted the same author and same book as you quoted, I simply added more context to what the author was saying and his final thoughts on the matter. To use a quote from someone out of context as if what he said in your quote was all he had to say on that matter, when in fact he had a lot more to say on the matter and his conclusion was not one that someone may expect from the quote that you used. With that being said, I don't believe that you are interested in a honest discussion and I'm getting to old for online drama, so I'm bowing out of this talk. I hope you have a wonderful day.

  2. Sure, but to also quote the same author from the good book. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." The general take away is not that everything is meaningless, even though there is nothing new under the sun, and everything has been done before, there is still a time and place for everything under the sun, the author himself still concludes with the following: "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." So at the end of it all, God is still in control and we are to do what we can in our own part of the world. Being kind to one another, learning to temper our anger and show grace when we would rather lash out. A simple kind word can change a life, we often don't ever even know about it, but the simple act of loving others as our selves and being kind to others can and does change the world. Leaving our own biases at the door and looking at each person as the individual that they are.
  3. Hmm how about instead of regressing further into virtual worlds, we all try to do more then we currently are doing to make the real world less "dystopian". Virtual worlds can only ever exist if the real world is functioning. Virtual worlds need the real world, but the real world does not need virtual worlds, they are a luxury, a privilege we get to pay for to have a place to escape to. Make the real world better and our virtual worlds will follow. Just my two cents! Happy Wurming
  4. From my experience, no fantastic item has come from a fantastic map, the map itself and its contents are no different then rare/supreme. The odds for fantastic items seem to be the same across the maps.
  5. None of the 100+ necklaces that I've got so far from the event are able to be imp'd. It would be great if we could. +1
  6. From my experience the silver ones of course only give silver metal type, but the "Metal" ones can give other metal types when combined, and that can be random.
  7. Its fun the first time, but when you have 20 people all in local all knocking on doors, which is being done, at least here on Cad, it is impossible to have any kind of dialog. Even just trying to have a convo with a neighbor in local, and someone comes thru and starts knocking on the doors, makes it impossible now to continue that convo in local. I do think it is very creative and a new way to have interaction, but some way to dial it back, or have it every 5th knock or something along those lines, so as not to disrupt the entire local chat would be great.
