Would anyone actually be against just sort of booting anyone who has not yet challenged or been challenged and has had an opportunity to, or has consistently ignored topics

This whole thing was a good concept but unsuprisingly it's been struck pretty hard by the board population's general laziness How many fights even started? I'd guess it's only half or less. Shame.

If nobody can die you've scuppered your own argument because he wouldn't need to beat up Death then either Messing up Death's plans is never ever a good idea

Grent are you like terribly awfully genre unsavvy or something
have you never seen what happens when everyone is suddenly unable to die ever it's hardly an uncommon fantastical concept and it's always not pretty you would have your head ripped off and live as a screaming, agonised head forever also when you are immortal the chances of you being buried alive in a collapsed building or a mine or something very quickly reaches 100% and that's not fun at all (it's more likely if you are in a city undergoing the apocalypse) and all this global suffering would be because of the silly mistake of one fireman
brb continuing to proscratinate on making an entry post for the character that would benefit massively from the fact that people are now able to be wounded as much as you want without killing them I'll probably post it next month or something

My art isn't showing? :/ Oh god dammit. What image host are you using? He isn't using one, his URLs all link to www. .com Which I have told him three now so I don't see how he is incapable of fixing it

Any system is only as strong as its weakest link. You could have an amazing system, but if you have a slow HDD, then you're not going to be able to do anything that requires read/write to disk nearly as fast. The logic behind the system is sound. The system itself is definitely bullshit, though. Uh guys Did you not see the other little ringed bit there I think he is also objecting to the fact that the scale is one to seven point nine instead of something sensible like one to ten. But yeah other than that it's pretty sensible Your computer's performance is always going to be throttled by its weakest component, the other parts can't chip in to help it perform its duty

What would you call owning something that usually requires you to pay for free without the creator's permission then? Copying. I saw an image a while ago that explains it better than my memory every can, but the basic gist of it is: Stealing means that there is a physical copy that is taken illegally, and no one else may then access that copy. Piracy, on the other hand, is the copying and sharing of the data. There is no copy illegally taken that can't be accessed by someone else. Maybe it was an interview with Notch.... So if I took one of your brawl characters and started using it for myself, there'd be no problem there? You'd still be able to use it too. You wouldn't have lost anything. And if that's still not ok... how is illegaly downloading a movie any different? The creators still lose profit because you are using a paid service without paying for it, just as you would have lost time because I just took your idea so I didn't have to bother making my own. What if you made a piece of artwork that people were prepared to buy for money? I came up to it and just took a photograph. You've still got your artwork, I just don't have to pay for it. Oh and then I could start printing off my own copies and selling them for slightly less, or just give them away free to my friends. That would be fine though, apparently, because you still have your original copy. You are taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission, fully knowing that if you asked permission they would say no. You are depriving people that worked hard on a project money. It is easy to think of corporations as big faceless machines and then forget that hundreds of real people actually work for them and actually need their wages. You are not literally taking an actual physical object away from someone, but you are taking actual physical money out of the hands of actual real physical people. What do you call it when people takes your money away from you? Stealing. Stealing money from an online bank would still be stealing, regardless of the fact that they can just list as much cash as they want on their website because it's just a variable in a database. Going into a bookstore, physically copying every word from every page of a book onto a notepad and then leaving without buying said book because I have just written down all the content would be stealing even though they still have the original book. If I take someone's idea, they still have it. It's still stealing. If someone takes your credit card number, you still have that number. But they still stole it and now have access to all of your money, they are simply using the number as you would be using the games or movies that you have stolen. But apparently taking money away from people is fine as long as you don't steal any actual physical objects, so you wouldn't mind!How can you possibly say that is a moral thing to do, even if it's not the dictionary definition of stealing (which, by the way, is something I dispute. No dictionary I have checked has made any distinction that theft must take a physical object away to count as theft. Both of them are still stealing, according to the dictionary).

Personally I'd ask for someone's permission before borrowing their stuff, I'm pretty sure borrowing someone's stuff without asking could get you charged with theft if they got mad about it.
But fine, if you want to be that pedantic: What would you call owning something that usually requires you to pay for free without the creator's permission and with no intention of returning it, then?[/quote]

Making it illegal makes it a punishable offence to commit piracy, while not making it illegal means that these people can just get off from stealing something scott free. Piracy is not stealing. What would you call owning something that usually requires you to pay for free without the creator's permission then?

To be honest I think it's impossible to steal the concept of having both some kind of evil form and some kind of superpowered good form because that was a concept that was stupid and cliched long before Balto used it.

Yes you do put it into perspective by comparing it to murder. Also to rape, kidnapping or any other kind of theft. Nowhere in this topic has anyone said that these things are equally bad things to do and anyone who thinks that anyone is even implying that is a moron. The comparison however is still completely valid and in no way a fallacy, you're just too oblivious to understand how.
These are all things that people might want to do. You might want to kill someone because you really dislike them. You might want to rape someone because you want to have sex with them but they don't return your feelings. You might want to steal something because you want it a lot but can't or won't pay for it. These are all also things that the simple fact that they are illegal is often not enough to stop people actually doing it. If you hate someone enough and are angry enough you might still kill them, if you want something enough you may well still steal it. The law exists not only because the fact that it is illegal is a detterent (making murder illegal probably makes people a little less likely to do it even if they are very angry) but also gives the courts the ability to punish people for doing it.
In this way, it is the same as piracy. Piracy is something that a lot of people will do despite knowing it is illegal. Some people will be turned off from doing it by the fact that it is illegal, but many still will not. Making it illegal makes it a punishable offence to commit piracy, while not making it illegal means that these people can just get off from stealing something scott free. In this way it is like any other crime like murder, rape or any other kind of theft because while the illegality itself is a detterent the bigger deterrent is the fact that you get punished if you are caught doing it (and if you are caught doing it you will get punished, meaning that you are likely not to do it again).
Nobody ever said the crime was equal in moral value to murder, murder is generally considered to be something far worse than piracy. What people said (specifically me) was that it was equal in the means and reasons by which it is illegal. You are putting words in my mouth, I am not sure if you are aware that you are doing it but you are and it is making you look very very silly because you are making multiple posts arguing against a person who does not exist.
Have I put this in simple enough words for you to understand now Kromax? This has now been explained to you five times and you are yet to stop repeating the complete garbage you said in response to it the first time. If not, please leave this topic for now and come back when you have learned how both debate and the english language work. If someone tells you multiple times that you have misinterpreted their words then it is incredibly, mind-bogglingly stupid to ignore them and act as if their original statement still means what you mistakenly thought it did.

I'd say Rety's art has gotten better. When he first joined it at least looked a lot different then it did now, and frankly I like his style now more then I did then so I'd say that is definitely some kind of improvement. "style" isn't an excuse for "good" I'm not sure that sentence makes sense. To start with I don't even understand what you mean by the word "excuse" so I'm just going to assume you mean that the two aren't equivalent, although your sentence is still basically meaningless even then. Of course the word style does not mean good, they are completely different words, but surely someone developing their own style means they are likely to be improving as an artist? If this guy thinks Rety's art now looks more good than it did before, and his style has changed, surely that means that his change in style is good? What else does art need in order to be good other than looking nice? That's the only function art fills! If people like looking at it then it has succeeded!

What? They're taking away OUR RIGHT as human beings to stream copyrighted material on the internet without permission from it's owner? What will we do?!?!? Seriously, if this helps in stopping people from stealing movies, music, and other material, then I couldn't give less of a shit if videogames LP'ers go down as a side-effect. You realize it's not gonna stop piracy anymore than the current laws in place, right? The only thing this is gonna do is make people pay money to simply upload video of video game content. And making murder illegal doesn't stop people from murdering people either, but it's still a good idea. The point of banning things isn't necessarily to stop them doing it but so that they can be legally punished if they do do it.
