    Does your world consist solely of black and white, Ferret?? I'd like to think that color doesn't have to be a factor when it comes to threads. It's about loving one another and striving for a higher plane of existence altogether. Forwards, not backwards. Upwards, not downwards. And twirling. . . always twirling!

    You know the guy at the Panari temple who wants a peice of Nasrudin. But it's already been a thousand years shouldn't he be asking for dust. :lol:

    Well... I'm sure you had a point, somewhere, in all that, but it doesn't change the fact that the H&T section is for threads containing spoilers to the game of Arcanum, no threads containing Arcanum spoilers are supposed to be outside that forum and that this thread contains Arcanum spoilers and should thus be in that forum.

    You can debate that fact all you like but it doesn't change the fact. It's like calling electricity harmless and then throwing yourself into a high voltage transformer content in the knowledge that it's now harmless. :roll:

    And what is it with you and colours? You seem awfully colourist (albeit pro-black, which is infact an absence of colour and thus is not in itself a colour; it's still colourist though) and seem to bring colour into lots of these discussion. :/

    How to piss off a white supremacist: Inform them that white isn't a colour, it's a shade. Take this to life-threatening extremes by going out on a limb and saying that not only is it a shade, it's a shade of black. It may or may not be true, but seeing their reaction would be funny as hell!

    Actually, whilst you're right that white isn't a colour it's not because it's a shade. It's actually ALL colours mixed together. Therefore white people are technically more coloured than 'coloured' people. :lol:

    And Jar, with a technique like that I'm sure you've talked people down really fast. So fast infact that they've actually gone through the pavement upon impact. :D

    Arronax and Nasrudin were cyborg dwarfes.
    But because they were FORCE fed with TONS of SPAM
    they mutated to elves later in their life.

    My friend has a cousin that has a dog that has a cat friend that has a pig friend that gave him that information . !!!!

    Vote for that post and the whole thread being totally useless.

    Is that post and the whole thread totally useless ?

    NO . It is healthy spammy !!! yea
    Yes. I love spaMMMMM !!!! yea.


    :D

    I have never thought this silly fun-making story would lead to spoiler...... thanks to those who try to "prove" this story is "wrong". But anyway the title of the thread has been spoiling :p . I like the suprise of that part of the game, through.

    Personally I would say both of them are elves, but that mistake of the game is just nasty and I make a story for it.

    The movie did show them look elven, but can my story say they LOOK elven, along with some real elves fighting in the movie?

    Anyway, this is really spoiling. Someone better move it, then can anyone tell me what "spoil" has been made to have it deleted?

    It's nice to know how colorful a personality I am, but I don't see where I have made statements favoring either white or black. Please point them out to me.

    As for mixing colors, it depends on whether you are dealing with light or pigments. Mix all the pigments together and you get black. Mix all the rays of the visible spectrum and you get white. This leads to a quantum mechanical paradox in that perceived colors of pigments are really just rays of light.

    Take it from chrisbeddoes. He allegedly had some role in the making of this game. They may LOOK like humans or elves or whatever, but they are ACTUALLY "cyborg dwarfes".

    I didn't say that you favoured them. I said you kept dagging colour into threads. which you do. :roll:

    Actually, it doesn't matter which way you look at it. Sure, when mixing it depends on whether it's light or pigment that determines which colour you get, but colours are all the same thing - a determination of reflected light. The reason why pigments work opposite to light is because pigments obsorb all but the colour light they are and they reflect that. Light doesn't have to reflect it - it IS the particular colour wavelength light.

    The colour white is always the same no matter what and the colour black is always the same no matter what. White is the full spectrum of colour - whether it be a full mix of colour, or it be a mixture of pigments that reflect all light. Black is always the absence of light - whether it's because there is no light, or whether it's because there is so much pigment it absorbs it all.

    You say a white person is more colorful than a colored person, but ya know, ya don't see very many 'white' people. Personally, I'm kind of a tan color :D . Sorry, just felt like stating that, doesn't really matter. And I would actually say I'm white. I just like to argue :)

    Ferret, you said that I was "pro-black" on August 1st at 7:18 AM in the final paragraph of your post on this same thread. Perhaps I'm misreading it but that seems to imply a favoritism on my part which you have deduced from some previous post of mine. If that is the case, please point the post out to me.

    I bow to your greater knowledge of color. Still, I prefer my quantum mechanical paradox to any scientific explanation you may have to offer. Science has this tendency to disprove itself in the long run but those quantum mechanical paradoxes REALLY stick with you.

    Someone's been doing some researching. Chalupa, I think you spend too much time on the details. ;)

    Only when it comes to the Evolution and Big Bang theories.

    On a side note, this is my 2222th post! Yay me! :)

    Ba-da-bing! :lol:

    You're on a roll! That and your Robert E. Lee/cotton gin joke in that other thread are two of the funniest things I've read here all day. You're a peach!

    Yup. I'm sweet, golden, fuzzy, and I have a big nut in the middle.

    Ah, when I said 'pro-black' I didn't mean you favoured black, but the discussion of black seems to get you a little more active in your discussion. :p

    And you're wrong about science. VERY wrong. It seems you are one of these people who don't actually understand what science is.

    Science deals with fact only. It tells you what is true and not true. However, the basis for science and what people mistakenly take as factual science is not actually fact as such, but working theory based upon current knowledge.

    Thus, if people look to science for explanations of things which are not yet proven then all they can be given is the best possible working theory that fits the parameters and would thus most likely be the truth, even if it's not yet known to be the truth. Unfortunately, it is not science that tells untruths, but people who do not realise that what is 'known' is infact only theory and thus many things are taken as truth even if they are not.

    If these things are later found to be wrong, the theory is updated or rewritten as fact, but to those that mistakenly believed it to be fact, not theory, it appears that science was wrong. Science is an ever evolving quest for truth, but many people only look at the journey to truth, not the destination, and so they come to the same conclusion that you did.

    Therefore, science doesn't disprove itself at all. What you appear to assume as disproving, is actually just the ratification and modification of theory into fact once those facts are rationalised. :)

    Well... the void is quite magickal - well, in fact extremely magickal. Natural law wouldn't really function so well in a place like that.

    Also, it makes the punishments so more classy! I mean, what is a lifetime in prison compared to an eternity in some weird interplanar dimension? :D

    Spoiler..... sorta













    I think Arronax said something about how time flows differently, or not at all, when you talk to him. You didn't HAVE to ask him about it though, so he might not have told ya.

    The Void is a different dimension that had a different working of time. Kind of like Earth and Narnia, except with Earth being the quick one, and the Void being the one with what seems to be endless time compaired to the latter.
