    "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for goatkind" "You've got a goat in me" "Don't goat. Don't even goat. Goat, and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't goat. Good luck." "Don't make a goat a promise, if you know you can't keep it." "You mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?" "Sir, finishing this goat." "Two things are infinite: the universe and goats: and I'm not sure about the universe." "The right goat in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world." "I can show you the goat. Shining, shimmering, splendid." "I use to be an adventurer like you, until I took a goat to the knee." "Hello. Would you like to goat someone today?" "Travel the galaxy, Meet facinating goats, and kill them." "The goat is a lie." "When life gives you goats, don't make goatade! Make life take the goats back! <snip> I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down... with the goats! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible goat that burns your house down!" A piece of cake if you can name the origin of all those quotes.

    Awesome, and sounds like fun! Programming is something I wish I could do more of at uni, but it's sorta hard 'cos while it's a fun hobby, it's not something I'd want to do as a job. So, is studying Physics (with a bit of maths) with Teaching.

    You mean to say these things aren't normal? I can't so much do freaky things with my hands, but when I put my elbow behind my head, I can keep going so the top of my elbow is level with the opposite ear. I can also grasp my forearms when doing that (as in, left arm behind my head, right arm coming up my back)

    Well, it certainly looks prettier than the WoT pilot.

    Yeah, seeing the collapsed buildings was like 'whaaaa... I don't remember these being there!', though that they were isn't suprising based on what we now know of the origins. I hadn't noticed any of it in the books (apart from Antrax, which is quite obvious). Thinking I might have to reread the books now. Been way too long since I read that first series.

    So anyone else here read the Shannara books? Seen the trailer for the TV series? What were your thoughts? I guess 'trailer' isn't the best term. First look more like (doesn't give you much of an idea about what it's about unless you've read The Elfstones of Shannara). Is cautiously optimistic at this stage.

    Just getting my public action in before I forget to. Will hopefully add RP later. Need to work out how to go about. Edit: Changed location from Austrex to Lansing City.

    I believe its an inspiration for frozen, it has quite a different feel, though it still shares some of the major plot points (it'll be clear which from the first few paragraphs, I think).

    Yeah, the word translated day can be used to refer to an age, this is true. The first place "six days" is used in reference to the creation is in Exodus 20:11. In Genesis 1, only talks about each day individually. The same word for day is used however. Assuming that was trying to point out that it allows for each day to be an extended period of time. My response to that is that on 'day' 4 (Genesis 1:16-18), it says that the sun and moon are set to divide day from night. A day night cycle for us today is 24 hours. I don't think there is any reason to suggested that the length of the day would have changed in any meaningful way. The word day is the same word that could mean age. Implies that at least for days 4-7 are 24 hour days, and so then it'd suggest the first 3 days are too. Edit: It is not my intention to start any argument, and so if people want to continue this particular discussion but feel it has the potential to get heated, feel free to PM me to continue the discussion.

    Will there be a dark theme coming with the new update?

    Is presuming these were both in response to me. Old earth creation is not synonymous with theistic evolution. To be clear on what I mean by old-earth creation - that the earth (as in the rock floating in space) had already been there a very long time prior to the 6 days of creation, but at the point at which the 6 days began, it was basically a rock with a whole bunch of water and cloud cover with nothing at all living on it. So I believe in that there were 6 consecutive days (so a week) of creation, that transformed the earth and the solar system into a habitable planet and creating all life as fully formed things. The only difference is if you say the earth was created moments before God started the 6 days of creation, or if the planet had been there for some extended period of time. Why I said Gen 1 easily allows this comes from the first two verses. Take Gen 1:1 as the creation of the universe. At the start of verse 2, the earth exists in some matter. There is no time frame set for how long there is between the verse 1, and the second half of verse 2 (moving on the face of the waters). I would agree that you can't blend evolution into the creation story, but that's not what Old Earth Creation is, or at least not what I mean with it. Might throw some thoughts on old-earth creation, creation of man, the angels, and fossils into a spoiler box:

    It's worth a read. It's quite a bittersweet story, and it was very strking for little me. I remember listening to an audio book version of the story. It stuck with me, 'cos unlike most story tales, had a lot of sadness in it.

    In Case You Missed It, I'm presuming.

    Seeing it as been brought up a bit, addressing the religious among us, I'm curious about Old-Earth vs New-Earth Creation. The way I've viewed things is that Genesis 1 quite easily allows for an Old-Earth creation, along with things like the existence of angels almost seeming to necessitate an old-earth creation. AFAIK, my religion largely holds to Old-earth, as opposed to young-earth, but I was curious as to if other religions have hard opinions on that.

    Cold is subjective... Edit: Have you seen the How It Should Have Ended video clip for frozen? Edit edit: Thoughts on 'The Snow Queen' by Hans Christian Andersen?

    Oh, I don't scan for discovery, I scan to find Kwai, and he's not necessarily in Discovery. I get back a yes or no result. Scanned Dow, Alvron, Adamir, then you. Got negatives on the first three, but a positive on you.
  20. Haelbarde
    Seeing as it's highly probably this will become public knowledge in the next hour, might as well come out with it... I'm part of the Reform Faction. Yup. This is now (and has truly always been) a five faction game. My objective was to see Kwai dead, Kwai using the identities of one of the players as a cover to sow mistrust and bring the empire down. My thing I got to do was scan for Kwai, as I need him dead to win. Finally found them, but too late, cos now I'm dying this round, and y'all think I'm discovery. So well done hiding, Pixie. See y'all on the other side now. o/

    D: I'll let Joe explain that one. It's basically his pet project. EDIT: Ninja'd

    Hmm.. Sound fairly reasonable. Not convinced though...

    So Glory, might want your Teullu warrior protecting Bort

    In all seriousness, the last striker should take out the other striker, to put yourself ahead in the Heritage-Glory war.
