Because Page 2 is a monster of a page with detail, page 3 answers first!

@tuffyears No worries dude, see you Monday!

I’ve never been a big fan of the wolves. I don’t hate them but a guy I used to be friends with as a teen used to pulverise me with them, and he turned out to be a huuuuuuge a$$ a couple of years later so I associate them with him and bad times.

 

Anyhow, I cannot wait to see some Space Wolf Successors after the foundation of the Ultima Crusade!

 

Cool kitbashes. 10 points. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Your tearing through them, huh?

That is one nice batch of models, 35 ponts 😉

Well if it isn’t @oriskany . O-town. O-my gosh. Big-O. BIIIIIG OOOOOO*!!!!

 

 

Kinda sounds Flash Gordon…ey? Yes, that’s a word…

 

*Hope that wasn’t too personal a remark, it was an obscure anime reference, I have no idea what your height and weight is and hope you aren’t conscientious about it.

Damn dude, that is a mountain of words…

 

Nice pledge, someone is shifting their priorities and getting their head in the game!

 

(1)    Cloning Technology

 

Ah, but could a technology be too polarising, bring up too many ethical questions, or too much of the old… jeepers my mind is failing me…. Danger stuff?

 

I wasn’t too aware of the crops or paying attention to that, but those are all valid. Are they copyrighted or patented technologies?

 

Meh, you only mentioned stem cells, I don’t think it violates the rules. There is some context to it. You are speaking about it in a medical/technological/philosophical way. I can’t imagine the convo getting too out of hand. I do agree with cloning a body part to save someone. I mean, if that were possible we wouldn’t need organ donors for poor teens dying of cystic fibrosis, like one of my friends did a few years back…

 

We do run into hazards though. Someone with too much money would come along and want to make one of those Rogue Troopers from DC comics. Or something weird.

 

Hm. Remind me to watch that movie Gattica. It was awesome. Haha! I type as a I read and delete stuff, and then you mention it. That twelve fingered pianist was messed up, if you remember it?

 

Medieval worlds with baseborn thoroughbreds, with gene-forged overlords. Im getting scared thinking about it.

 

So, the clone scientist gives me a… spinal tap? 😉 I actually did play Piano for a while so it’s a possibility. I suppose aesthetically they are a clone. But in all honesty, I’d disfigure him with a facebrand of some sort as soon as he got hatched out of the clone sauce. For reals. Then he would not be able to usurp me.

 

That has happened in Star Trek with Ryker, and in Voyager with Tuvok and Neelix getting spliced (barf!). Man, you are populating the USS Oriskany very quickly. You already have I assume yourself as Captain and @biggabum as transporter operator/chief. Am I crew or a passenger? Damn it man, make a crew… manifesto? Im too lazy to google what a manifesto is. Whatever a list of crewmen serving is. I’m getting distracted, aren’t I. Why is it so humid?

 

Does he have a soul? Do you need to be live-born for one? Or will we need to hire shamans/priests/holymen/soothsayers/witch doctors to ‘christen’ (not in a religious way, but when you hit the side of a boat or ship with a bottle) the clone at ‘birth’ (look how I dodged saying blessed, like a pro 8))

 

I’ve already tricked friends into painting minis for me, so I guess it would be harder to manipulate my clone as we have similar thought patterns, but I am sure we could hammer out a deal…

 

Super detailed answer. 35 points.

 

 

(2)    Do you think we are the remains of a once more advanced society?

 

A very interesting idea, one I like 🙂 You did put on the hat though. 10 points! Is it a cowboy hat? Or something Bablyonian looking? Also, what if they proved there was some ancient Egyptian tomb, certified it, opened it, and they found like a laptop inside? I think it would undo everything we know and hold dear. Hm… This dead pharaoh is friends with Ra and Odin on some 3,000 year old version of Facebook…. Weird.

 

Valid point on Rome though. Never thought about it like that. Isn’t there some conspiracy theory that the library of Alexandria had a lot of the content taken and hidden beneath the Vatican? Not trying to make this about religion.

 

Valid point on the renaissance.

(3)    A game you have wanted to get into but have not yet done so?

 

It is so much fun! Don’t play it competitively though. I’ve walked passed friends at some of the events. While they did enjoy it I saw them did a little, only a tiny bit, on the inside.

 

Tie Jaeger sounds so cool. I know it only means ‘hunter’ but still, that could be used!

 

You WILL get around to it. Love it. And it will be good. And all will rejoice. And the children will sing!

I will listen to the music later when I can. I need a quiet moment of chillitude to do so.
