See title.

For whatever I reason, I can't choose a faction (including Spectators). I can click on them, but nothing changes. It remains on the faction select screen.

Anyone else seeing this?

Was this after a recent crash? I know this has happened to me if a server has crashed, I have to restart my game entirely to be able to join a team again. Although even that is a bug nonetheless, but just trying to get the details straight

I had started the game for the first time this morning (about 1000 hours EST).

I have no idea if there had been a server crash, but if there was, I didn't experience it.

It remedied itself after I restarted, so I guess that must have been the case.

What I'm really interested in knowing isn't how it's looked upon.

More what qualifies as spamming. It'd be good to know and upon cursory inspection, I really can't find much relating to it here on the forum.

EDIT: Other than the Board Rules posts in most sections, of course. But to me these still seem vague, as if left to inrepretation.

Knights just suck they are stupid brutes that rely on strength(if talk about newbie knights and newbie  ninja's)and they just fight because they must .
I watched a lot's of documentaries with ninja.Those people are trained to kill one on one,they don't choose the method or weapon they are trained most of their life to kill

Nah, they're trained to be assassins.

Not stand-up, knock-down, drag-out fighters.

This is a bit on the way, but spam is an irrelevant post, that had nothing to do with the topic, or just to be annoying.

You don't think it's a legit question?

All the participants in the article were 28 or 29. Apparently age is no barrier when it comes to wasting your time in idiocy.

Do you even go outside?

My dog knows the difference between right and wrong you ****tard! They have emotions, feelings and thoughts.

My dog howls when someone leaves the house and will sulk in a corner till they come back.

My dog is also a fussy eater, while instinct would have her eat anything to survive, as long as it was known to be edible.

Did you miss the part where I said I was playing devil's advocate?

I think you did.

RICHARD
Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, French, German, Czech, Dutch

Pronounced: RICH-ərd (English), ree-SHAR (French), RIKH-ahrt (German)  [key]

Means "brave power", derived from the Germanic elements ric "power, rule" and hard "brave, hardy". The Normans introduced this name to Britain, and it has been very common there since that time. It was borne by three kings of England including Richard I the Lionheart, leader of the Third Crusade in the 12th century. Famous bearers include two German opera composers, Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and Richard Strauss (1864-1949), as well as British explorer Sir Richard Burton (1821-1890) and American musician Little Richard (1920-).

*Spear* 说:

heck a flail would be sweet!

Hey what about a Spiked Shield even? Use it for a shield bash...but only for the spiked shields!

点击展开...

I'm pretty sure vikings also used round shields for bashing. They had a metal rim and boss, which would make pretty good blunts.

点击展开...

Most cultures used "standard" shields for bashing. Contrary to popular belief, shield bashing is not done by flailing your forearm into your opponent like an idiot. Instead, the shield is driven, edge-first, into the face or neck (ideally). I've seen the technique used by Chinese (I think it was Chinese, anyway) riot police today, with normal riot shields. The shield "bashing" seen in most games is simply an augmented shove; it might be used in some circumstances, but it does not cause significant damage in its own right.

Actually, they found a shield rush could shatter ribs on the show Ultimate Warrior...

Oh good grief.

Well, at least the MSNBC is in there, too. Not a very good source for news, but at least you can be sure the story is verified.

And yes, everything humans do can be broken down to survival of the species.

For the record, I've been arguing devil's advocate this entire time. I think, for my part, I did alright up until the whole dolphins having sex thing.

And masturbation. At that point I couldn't stop laughing that I actually included it as an example in what was supposed to be a serious post.

Generalizations? Sorry, I don't trust any content from a source that makes no room for differences of opinion.

A site set up specifically for one cause or another espouses that agenda above all others - you have to be very naive to believe otherwise.

Anyway, I wouldn't ask you why you do it. It's a given. You do it because you enjoy it and that's all that matters.

It doesn't change the fact that we don't know if dolphins know why they have sex. We know why human beings do - because it feels good. If it didn't, we wouldn't do it (and no children would come of it). So it's not outlandish to suggest dolphins do so for the same reason - hedonism.

Perhaps I worded that wrong, though. What makes a dolphin decide to do it? What says, "now is a good time to have a quick ****!"

Do they take their surroundings into account? Do they wait for consent? Do they decide against it based on mood?

We may never know. It's all, as I said, conjecture. And rather useless conjecture, at that.

I believe I read once that the difference between the lower animals and humanity was mankind's ability to affect his surroundings willfully, as opposed to being affected by them.

To my mind, the concept of free will itself is proof of it's existence.

On the topic of evolution, there's the idea that humans became bipedal because of sex. Men had to adapt to carry enough food to support his family, so he could no longer use his hands for walking. It also increased the availablility for sex as the woman stayed in the same place. Makes sense to me.

Magorian: I never said they didn't make decisions.

Uther: The dogs are nothing more than survival of the species. I've never heard about dolphins saving humans from drowning, but sharks are natural enemies.

EDIT: I'm also fully aware dolphins speak - it's why I said, "until we understand either A) dolphin-speak or..." You really should stop talking down to people.

Man, I hate EA...

Magorian Aximand 说:

And the dolphins Turok?

点击展开...

It comes down to the question, "do they know why they're doing it?"

Something that can't be readily answered.

I can masturbate because it feels good, but I can also confirm that I do so for that reason.

Until we understand either A) dolphin-speak or B) dolphin brains, we may never know.

Magorian Aximand 说:

The decision came when it decided to squeeze back out of the cage, walk back across the room, and break back into it's own tank in the hopes that the feeder tank would be refilled.

Problem solving is not exclusive to humans, I'm aware of that.

And octopuses (octopi?) are fairly territorial, but will hunt beyond their territory. As far as we know it was simply going home.

Uther 说:

Animals make choices just like us.

点击展开...

Yeah... I'm gonna need to see some proof of that.

Animals are incapable of making decisions based on anything but instinct. From how and when to mate to how and when to eat. It's all predetermined.

Humans have only two or three instincts (reproduction and survival come to mind). I can decide to wait to eat if I'm trying to lose weight, for example.

Or as a better one, deer will multiply as well as eat themselves to death.

I can decide when it's right to have children and even elect not to eat so said offspring have more.

点击展开...

So, because our intelligence is superior somehow means other animals don't make decisions?
My cat may choose to respond when i shake his toy mouse at him or he may turn away. How exactly is this different from when a your guest refuses food, for example?
Sure, our brain is capable of solving some complex logical puzzles, something a cat can't do too well. But how exactly it makes whatever we do a choice and whatever they do not a choice is beyond me.
Even a dumb cockroach makes decisions.

Turok 说:

The 'missing link' has never been found.

Our ancestor that bridges the gap between ape and man directly.

Many that were discovered were revealed to be hoaxes or badly deformed - or cases of mistaken identity altogether.

I'm not making a case for God, but I'd rather not jump on any bandwagon without all the facts.

点击展开...

Oh boy...*explode*

There is no such thing as "missing link".
Evolution doesn't work like it does in pokemon cartoons. It's slow, it's gradual, and fossil record represents that.

Animals don't make decisions the same way we do. At all.

Neither of those sites told me anything I didn't already know. My point was that no link between ape and man can be proved. That's a fact.

Also, you can't expect an atheist site to be very objective, in my opinion. It's like me offering links from Conservapedia.
