The problem with this debate is that both sides generally fall into the post hoc, ergo propter hoc ("after this, therefore because of this", AKA the Fallacy of False Cause). Guns of themselves do not cause crime. Period, end of discussion. To argue otherwise is to resort to a form of...

Yep, sure was. (Sorry, bleary-eyes completely garbled what you were saying.) :oops: They did that, didn't they? Hmmm... I suppose that's one solution. Another thing I thought of -- pertaining more to a mod than duckman's problem -- is that you could simply rely more on...

Interesting. While I'm not familiar with the mechanics of the d20 system I'm curious to see how Fallout will make the transition from GURPS-based SPECIAL to d20. Who knows? It may be time to dust of the dice and get a copy of the d20 Modern Rules... While I would love to contribute...

I think the hedonistic calculus points pretty clearly to "instant annihilation" in this scenario where "the living would envy the dead." I think burying one's friends/family/etc. would be the least of one's worries. Either that or your life would turn into Gamma World's original campaign...

Uh, I meant "military intelligence", not "mobile infantry". Of course, I would rather that I'd set off a desire to re-read the book for the umpteenth time rather than Verhoeven's travesty. :cry: :lol: Yeah, I suppose so. The degree of fuckedness doesn't matter much when the living...

You can set the frequency for random encounters in the world editor. It would be a royal pain in the ass, though, since you'd have to go and fuck with the setting of all of the encounters, or at least the most common ones. Of course, deleting encounters would be an option as well...

Ft. Huachuca is not only the HQ of the Army's military intelligence community -- they develop doctrine there and also train MI pukes -- it's also used extensively for testing commo equipment. Between Ft. Huachuca 90 miles away and Davis Monthan AFB right next door, Tucsonans are pretty much...

Pretty much anyone who isn't willing to trash their computer -- which wouldn't work w/o a civil society seeing how all of its myriads of protocols needs shitloads of regulation -- and move off into some frontier where they can spend their days and nights watchng their backs and fighting for...

Then get that way, fucker! [j/k] BTW, I hope you don't get all bent out of shape about being called names like "homo", "fag", "fucker", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", etc., etc. While the Army's official stance forbids drill sergeants from using profanity in front of trainees, let alone...

Hey, no prob. Oh, and make sure you're at Parade Rest when you read my posts. K, Private? ;) (If you don't know what Parade Rest is yet, you'll soon find out...) Ain't that the truth? Lots of opportunities, use 'em, even if all you intend to do is to do one enlistment and then get...

So we'll be neighbors for a couple of weeks, although you'll be on a different part of post...not to mention getting a rather -- *ahem* -- different type of treatment that I am. ;) Nope, not at all. If you're looking at the MOS worst-hit in Iraq, it's 88M, which is "Truck Driver" in...

The role of women in the FO universe is (thankfully) not in keeping w/the '50s. OTB

I'm not dead, just in Georgia... :lol: ...which after one Friday night's foray into Columbus leads me to believe that they are much the same... 8O OTB

Well, I left JAN 05, and I my aging, addled brains don't remember you having moved before then. Good to hear you're doing well, though. Personally I'm doing pretty well, too. I made it back to Sergeant in 17 months -- not bad considering they knocked me back to PV2 coming back in -- and...

Y'know, these guys look like Gwar on acid. I'm not sure whether to be encouraged or deeply disturbed by the fact that they won, but right now I'm inclined toward the latter... OTB

Actually, they were the descendants of a Red Chinese submarine crew that was shipwrecked near San Fran. That's in the game. In the FO Bible it was said that the designers had originally planned it so that the sub defenses would have to be deactivated or it would sink the tanker as it left the...

Hey there, JU/CCR! How've you been? Personally, I've been rather busy, not to mention w/o net connection whilst I've been in Germany. Right now I'm hot and sweaty following PT...must shower...coffee and cigarette first, though... :lol: I'll be around off-and-on for the next eight...

Since you're hoping to go Ranger and Airborne I take it that you're coming to Ft. Benning? Well, I'd say look me up since I'm there right now and still will me when you'll be arriving...but the Drill Sergeants at 30th AG will probably have problems with you going strolling down to Olson Hall to...

The Bigs, you do realize that this is a 5.09 meg file, right? OTB

No, there is no Jetbike in FoT. The key is just there as an easter egg. OTB
