I looked up my desirless thread 'Desireless (Kebir Blue) 364 4/22 03:24pm' and found this quote from me:

'To the SC community.
I have used this game to try and get over to you that we can no longer wait for evidence. For if the evidence turns up it will mean that it is already to late.
I am sorry for doing that. This is a game and I should have respected that. I do the same down the pubs, friends houses, parties ect ect.'

Its made me wonder if I have done it again, and with the date of the start of the desireless thread being 1 year ago nearly to the day, I'm wondering if its a spring thing? But Trahx did start with the insults towards those who will do without to ensure the future has everything.

I gave Crafty the option to say it was just a flippant comment a year ago. I give you Trahx the same option. Retract the promotion of Anti-environmentalism as an option in life and retract the

Just had a thought :)
This is why green technology never gets invested in. Theres always the counter argument of 'prove it' that gets in the way. You cant prove something that has'nt happened yet, regardless of how much you want too. The point is faith. Faith in your own instincts for the survival of your future generations. Only you know what is right and what is wrong. No Other. And only you will walk down the path of your life. Only you make your choise. But is your first thought about the futures survival? or is it for your own survival?

And if your gonna run a business its got to be about your own survival.

The problem is that you are effectively preaching something that must be accepted on faith. We are expecting to immediately accept your propositions as true in absence of evidence.
In addition, most environmentalists speak from a perspective of sore misinformation. Therefore, they propose ridiculous and even detrimental (from an environmental and/or socio-economic perspective) proposals to save the environment.
For example, the preservation of the rainforest: this is not the best alternative for absorbing C02 emissions because old growth forest absorbs much less CO2 than new, growing forest. The logical alternative is to have logging farms which would provide both profit and growing forest to absorb CO2.
Another example, the environment is constantly changing. Somewhere around the year 1400, there was a 'mini ice-age' that froze over Greenland and caused massive famines in Europe. This was before any industrialization. I'd w

Hi Scarlet. It's not just about the tree's. Its also about the Bio-diversity and the whole ecosystem that lives in, under and around them. Each life playing its role in the up keep of the forest. And sure, natural climate change happens. And most of the time it happens at a rate that life can keep up with (march of the trees) but add man made climate change into the mix and we might not be giving life enough time to adapt.

Listen trahx. When I first started on SC 2 years ago, anyone who brought up environmental issues was insulted, threatened or belittle. I've fought hard with words and wars to ensure that pro-environmental words can be written without fear of reprisals through words or wars. And I'm not gonna let it slip now.

A friend of mine says 'I see parts of his argument, since the fact that there is a massive amount of corruption in the world of the climatologist is true'.
I think thats

BC,

You are right but its also time for a mea culpa. I'm not here to play the game but to analyze it. The only part remaining was the war engine and it sure was easy to get a war, which should be concluded in a few days.

The only comment I can pass along is that this game has a serious community problem and that hurts the success rate of any MMOG, whether RPG or S&T (ecowar). Every game has its nix and pscho-honey types, but in RPGs they end up as lepers. In S&Ts, more drastic measures are required.

There are 398 players on line as I write on a Saturday night. That's pretty dismal for a MMOG with 5 worlds, no down-load required and a fairly low monthly rate. The reason and answer should be clear, and it isn't because the game is difficult; it's not.

Well, I have to see what the defense looks like to finish my work and pass some things on to a few n00bs. Good luck and it truly was a

omy, little nazi screamer is already screaming goodbye.

You and you 6 virtual machines are lepers, and you have ended up as one. Silly rabbit.

Now, keep going, trash the game becuase you don't know where you should place some restraint. Let us blame everyone but ourselves for our own faults. You can have any opinion of me if you want. I really don't care. Whine do whatever, but seriously quit talking while you are ahead. You aren't the first person to walk into a war because you didn't obey CC's ten commandos, or commandments. I was actually on your side as far as getting a fight with nix, but I draw the line when you start calling someone a nazi,leftist, fascist, its all BS. What do you think this is America?

THIS IS .... SPARTA!! *cough* SIMCOUNTRY *cough*

Not clear to me, could you spell it out?

@Wendy: arggh, please read his posts.

@nix: Please give him a good demonstration of how the war game is played. It's one of the better features of the game, after all.

@ whiteboy,
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

I don't know what it is about this country but we have so much trouble accepting scientific facts...<!-/Quote-!>



I finally found something online that explains the details of the criticism of Mann's Hockey Stick graph of 1998 & 99. McIntyre is the more famous one, but his descriptions stop short of the nuts and bolts, as do all explanations I've previously seen. But McKitrick, his partner, spells out the statistical errors they found, very cogently.

http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/McKitrick-hockeystick.pdf

The paper that presented the hockey stick graph included lots of mistakes, in methods and in using questionable data. Worst of all, the whole hockey-stick shape of the graph was based on one egregious statistical mistake.

Instead of admit the mistakes Mann obfuscated, denied, and made stuff up.

Hi Jojo. I'll say what I gotta say to Trahx first so the end of my post will be about what your saying.

Trahx.....Thats what I said to a mate of mine last night while we where standing out side having a smoke. I said to him "I recon Trahx is doing a Crafty" Didn't make much sense though due to the way you went about it......unless you had already gone through the forum and seen how I would react? Clever little Trahx. I can see why you get paid for it.
Now what the hell do you know about the community. Walk into a pub do you and make your mind up straight away do you? Maybe thats why you do what you do?
What the hell do you know about the game? This is like planting a seed. Time is what its all about. You dont spend hours a day sitting next to the plant pot waiting for something to happen. You get on with your day while every now and then making sure the pots watered and safe. To understand this game and communit

There's a difference between making predictions and stating a fact, Nix.

It's one thing to predict that there's a 70% chance of it raining frogs tomorrow. It's another thing entirely to say that there will rain frogs.

Prediction based upon facts is one thing. Prediction when those "facts" have been proven to be heavily doctored is another entirely.

What you are suggesting - as you always do - is that we take action because something may happen, because you believe that it will happen, and that anybody who doesn't accept your beliefs is wrong and out to destroy the world. In turn, you threaten people with war in-game for "insulting" your beliefs.

You want to declare a personal Jihad on anybody who doesn't agree with you, that is fine by me. But do not be surprised when people who have a greater appreciation for free speech, scientific debate and logical re

Hi DK.
You said: 'What you are suggesting - as you always do - is that we take action because something may happen, because you believe that it will happen'
I say: "did the American people not go to war because they believed something may happen?"

Plus you said: 'But do not be surprised when people who have a greater appreciation for free speech, scientific debate and logical reasoning take a stand against you.'

Trust DK. They have been standing against me for the past 16 years. I'm used to it and wouldn't expect anything less. I have to say though, over the past 5 years there hasn't been as many as there use to be.

As for everything else, I'm gonna have to go through it later and take in what your saying. Its been a busy 4 days and the sun is shinning. It would be criminal of me to waste it and not get my seeds planted for my allotment. When it goes down I'll read it more

Ok first off I would like to remind you that it was due to Trahx still calling Environmentalists 'Nutjobs' after I told him I found it offencive that started me off. And now we know why he carried on(I thought I have been quite restrained compared to how I've been).
It wasnt his point of view on the subject. Infact his point of view on the subject has made me see that there is a new reasons why people aren't so keen to believe the people who are warning us. Trust.

Second............#me thinks about the rest of what your saying outside with a smoke#

#'Like every species, we have evolved to fill a particular biological niche. Unlike most animals, we are adaptive enough to survive as part of others'#

Did you know that when an animal in a Forest dies out or moves on, another animal will mimic the sound it made to keep the harmony of the Forest?

But then you say 'Do these activities "harm" the environment? Without a shadow of a doubt - if you are human'

Ok, I see where your going. :) Regardless of what man does and what dies, there will always be Mother Nature on Earth?

Natural Climate Change, Natural species extinctions and Nature migration happens every second of every day. Sometimes an event makes the changes and extensions greater or smaller, but it happens regardless. I get that. Its not like anyone is saying that nothing was happening and now something is. The problem they have is that the changes are happening alot quicker than they have done before. Which could have all kinds of crazy concequences.
Is it man? Maybe, there is compelling evidence that mans want and destruction has had some effect on the Environment. The full effect of man will never be known as its just part

Just to add another thought to this thread. India & China are racing into the space program to get to the moon to start farming the rich H3 which is the only known (stable) source of COLD FUSION since it is not available on earth. USA is canning shuttles in order to get ready for this space race back to moon as well (funny the press missed this one lol & G. Bush planned for it - did something right) Anyway - why not create a "Moon" out there on SIM & we can space race all the worlds to get there & farm H 3. If U dont know what it is just google it! It would be an interesting twist to the game & would be a 3rd energy source. Also competion as LU could battle FB etc. for limited space up there - probably the way we (USA/NATO) will be fighting with real world China & India/Japan in about 30 years.
