Conflict is the essence of storytelling; what's being said isn't that there needs to be less conflict, just different ways of resolving it than violence. Hey, the majority of Sadakhan distrust and dislike you all. Some of them question whether any outsiders even qualify as human, since you...

1) Why would they not? 2) No, that responsibility falls on the court.

Our ancestors fled from persecution by religious extremists that took over the distant land of their origins.

That's one of the things I found fishy about the whole thing. I didn't follow it as it happened, just read it after, but it sure sounds like something fishy went on somewhere and I find it somewhat disturbing that the official record shows the court to be incurious about that.

While this is true, satisfaction of the emotional needs you speak of do not require a deity, and many atheists (myself included) live perfectly satisfactory lives without it. In Sadakoyama, those needs are met in a variety of ways, one of the most important being the family-of-choice bonds...

Sounds like a cold remedy.

I dunno, I can totally se Syrixia sending up a lunar rover armed with a minigun...

We've got a number of AI, but not as many as we let people think. Industrial use of robotics is limited; we're not really into mass production so robots are used for precision work rather than increased productivity. Our Thorium reactors use robots, and of course they are in use in labs and...

This is what I don't like about hypotheticals; one can keep warping the premises until the answer matches what the question is intended to elicit. If you are asking if there is ever a time when I would set a deadline or allow a trial to proceed without a defense being presented, yeah, probably...

Typhlonectes Compressicauda would be my suggestion; it's amphibious, clever, and has an adorable little puppet head. I used to have one in my aquarium.

The way I've developed Sadakoyama's geology it would have to be on it's own, small plate, as its mountains are a result of a subduction zone. As for continent names, I have no preference since we are relative latecomers.

Our national animal is a small, weird creature that looks like an spider/crab/octopus. The animal that would represent us best is a Kraken; lurking below the surface, tentacles everywhere.

I can't get on IRC during work.

I'm not a fan of hypotheticals, but in such a case I believe the best way to proceed is not to impose deadlines or ultimatums, but to reach out to the individual in an unofficial, personal level and seek to find out what the issue was. Adversarial, confrontational treatment usually further...

The reason we need judges is because the law is not infallible nor is it prescient. Justice demands that the law be interpreted according to the situation at hand, not followed slavishly. I have a similar view towards rules; they can get in the way of justice and fairness as much as they help...

I believe the decision was incorrect. Even speaking as an enthusiastic supporter of "free speech", it is nevertheless unworkable for speech to be completely unfettered, even in the freest of organizations. Placing a restriction that joining a group or taking an office that one agree to stop...

How's it going? My name is Piscivore, but you probably knew that already. You know, we're a few days into this campaign, and so far it's going great. In fact, I don't know why they call it a cam-pain. Because up until now, it's been a cam-pleasure. I want to be your next TNP Justice. I need...

I just finished Chapter 2.

It is from the #1 fantasy bestseller of all time... :w00t:

His history suggests that unless he gets to unquestionably dictate the terms of how the RP proceeds for every nation, he doesn't want to participate. He's proposed a number of ideas, some of them interesting and some less so; but they always fall apart when people stubbornly insist on deciding...

Hot Dog FTW.

Sure, I accept.

Sesbania is to be working on cure as well.

I miss my kids when they were little.

Awesome Radical Union Xtreme! That will keep him happy, and It was way to much work coming up with something that acronymed out to "Sadakoyama"

Yeah, Our tax rate is ~83% right now. :) Population growing slowly or not at all isn't necessarily a problem. Western lifestyles need a constantly growing population because they need a constantly growing economy or the bubble bursts. If your culture isn't focused on "owning stuff" that becomes...

I'm not sure I like that. If some nation :w00t: never goes to the meetings, ignores what the union says, and does what it wants regardless, is their membership even meaningful?
