It just strikes me as styupid, 'tis all, so I was trying to find a comparison *shrugs*
Yeah. I certainly didn't mean to argue with you. You are right, it is stupid. I guess I piped up because it seemed like you were enraged by the whole thing and I wanted to indicate some reasons why they are making the changes. Not because I wanted to justify them, but because I feel that if you become enraged over edits in the bible then you are taking the book too seriously. Always remember that no matter what they change in any book, it can never affect your core beliefs that you hold within yourself. Reading books, from the bible to comics, is like a knowledge buffet. You take what you want to hold close to your mind and heart and let the rest be.

well GK you seem most on the ball with the Wiki in general
And having the most votes in the poll (42)
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,4848.0.html
Id say with Giga's absence you should be the one to manage the respect/ fear raters for the wiki..
I have no power to award you this but im sure most will agree your best suited for the job..
Agreed.

Here's a comparison: Have they started defacing Shakespeare yet? If so, then fair enough, they're ruining good literature. If not, why are they PC'ing the Bible and not Shakespeare? In a Humanist society that is today, surely the Bible holds about as much meaning as, say, Hamlet?
I answered this before. They are editing the bible because people take it too seriously. Shakespeare isn't edited because people don't follow it in such a passionate way that instigates a mindset that leads to bloodshed and conflict (i.e. war) Heck, Shakespeare even made up some of his own words for his work. People still leave those inaccuracies within his work because it doesn't have any morbid reprocussions. Because the Bible and peoples beliefs of the pages within it spark conflict and war (usually amongst closed-minded people) they feel the need to revise it. When mankind senses something monumentally wrong, they usually try to fix it. Even though the answer is usually to put the book down and use some common sense.

DP
Still got some people who need to re-choose their cars.
You should PM those people... I don't think they will check back here because they think they are all set. They might be waiting for a new thread or something.

"Workers of all countries," is what the first part says, not sure about the last word. At the bottom it says "CCCP" which is "USSR"
Workers of all countries unite?
That's my guess. That's also the last sentence in the Communist Manifesto.
*idea* I'll ask one of my friends who's Russian!
Thank you. :D I appreciate your help.

I thought the Wiki no longer got updated, it was the only conclusion I could make when I saw how outdated every persons page is.
Nah, it gets updated. there is just sooooo much work to do, nobody really knows were to start anymore.

Bullsh*t, I owned that match.
Good job, JD.
Yeah. Getting into the corner saw totally turned the match. It was really close though. Could have gone either way! Can't wait to see your bot fight again though, it has potential.

On a different note, anyone any ideas on who is going to hold the RR/FR polls now?
How did that go anyways? When I left last year Giga was coordinating it, but there was some debate about if people really cared or not. If I actually got elected I should make myself useful and lower ACAMS's respect rating uhhhh... make some adjustments.

 I thought there was a 1 minute match rule. Damn. Where did I read that? Must have been a different tourney thread and I got mixed up. /facepalm Sorry guys... didn't mean to throw you all off. I am going to figure out how the  I managed to think this was a 1 min tourney for the first round matches. I should stop drinking. Nah.

Mine's a popup with HPZ drive.
 Gah! Looks are deceiving. I didn't think you had room in that tidy chassis to make that happen. My bot is doomed against yours then.

What do you buy to prepare for an apocalypse; doesn't it imply the end of humanity?
I would buy a Armoured truck. I hear those are pretty good for apocalypse's (haha... its pretty funny to try to say "apocalypse's" without going "seseseses" on the end)

The whole point is that it is God's word, why change it?
We have no solid proof of this. The bible is a book written by man who claims it is the word of god. Man does not have the mental capacity to even interpret the word of god, and thus taking God's word and putting it into a book form seems ludicrous to me. If god wanted to communicate with us via a book based on his/her word, then god would write the book and bring it to us in a flash of magnificent light to indicate that we need to read it and trust it as the infallible source. If that happened I would take it more seriously. But until then the Bible is a series of stories written by man, translated by man, edited and changed over time by man. We can learn from it, yes... but no differently than we can learn from a book like "Catcher in the Rye." If you are upset about the edits they are making to it now... you should be upset about all the edits they have made to it in the past... But the unfortunate thing is that the reason they make edits to this literary work is because people take it too seriously (so they feel the need). People don't take books by Socrates seriously enough (unfortunately) and, to my knowledge, there have been no significant edits of his work.

OOC: I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not.
No im serious.. I am watching Prison Beak right now.. up to episode 16 in season 2..
Like I said.. scary
Over the next few days you should see a lot more movement in this and Backlash 
Awesome series. T-Bag is my fav character. I was super addicted to it for quite a while as well. BOT: Can't wait to see the tourney pick up when you are ready.

2.I'm not sure if anyone has tied this.
They sure have.. loads of times.. (myself included)
selected AI robots have the old DS Armour values, Forkie also has Double Strength Steel IIRC..
Yup! I have experimented with this quite a bit in the past. The problem lies that the stock bot's chassis are so HUGE and inefficient that it isn't worth making a bot using that original chassis. I tried a couple of tournaments with Double strength steel re-used stock AI chassis and got my ass handed to me (moreso than usual). Worth the experiment though.

I didn't want to create a thread about this but I'm going to take a break from GTM for a while. Basicaly I've noticed I've been spending way too much time here and in other places online and neglecting my other duties IRL, such as homework and schoolwork. So see you all later, peace out, goodbye ect...

Been there done that! I took several breaks from this place in the past. Focus on your life. Get caught up man. You know we will be here when you get back! Hope everything is ok.
