    I have unwillingly become an instigator of orc riots, and now cannot go about questing in tarant/caladon without fights breaking out everywhere. The character editor offers no option to remove this reptuation. Anybody have a solution? I kind of saved over without realizing what had happened.

    I'd love to blow someone's head off with one of those!

    Seriously though, it would need to kill zombies for it to make sense whatever way you think of it!

    Nah, man; it needs to kill zombies! Cause if the gun brings dead people back to life, it's just moving them from death to life (say, 0 to 1); so zombies, who are undead, should be brought back to death, as it is a step above undeath (like -1 to 0); but it should be able to bring zombies back to life after two uses; or if it brings dead people into a state of undeath, it should also kill zombies, cause they'd be made unundead (like -1 to -2, except it's a periodic function where f(0)=f(-2))! But then I'm not sure if it should need to kill living people or not...

    Ah maths, is there anything you can't do?

    Never got past algebra. My brain allocates thinking power to a subject based on usefulness. First week I asked my teacher what the hell would we use this for in everyday life. His answer was very unsatisfying.

    ... he typed on a computer, which, to exist, requires the use of Maxwell's equations and various other laws of electromagnetism, mathematically.

    Using a computer is everyday life. Understanding its working is not, nor is it practically useful for a common man.

    You're right; we should let each person choose their speciality in life when they're three years old and let them only learn what they need!

    We should have more extremes in everything.

    Take air for example. 100% oxygen or 100% nitrogen. Anything in between is for pussies.

    For a child that equates importance to usefulness, you have no idea how boring school is past elementary school (except for collage to some degree). I much would have preferred job training from 3. At least then I would have a skill, and thus have a chance of getting a job instead of being unemployed. So now I know all the shakers and movers in American history, as well as the fundamentals of genetics and chemistry, and a rich understanding of the varied cultures of the world. Doesn't really put food on the table though. Now I'm going to stop before I go on another rant about the education system, because it has no place being in this topic. Shutting up.

    I've never read the book, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve impressing people with maths or correcting their spelling and punctuation.

    Jesus Christ, will you relax? I'm only having a laugh with the spelling and punctuation and I'm certainly not trying to impress anyone with any meager knowledge of maths which I may have scraped from my interest.
