((*Uses black king bar* HA! Go away pudge! *Uses Nature's Prophet's teleport*))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Except.....why would we want realism? As I recall, I shoot myself in the head to summon monsters, a Fae is walking around with us, and we witnessed the equivalent of God as a Navi expy!<
((I ain't Pudge. Wrong game. :3
*flash, hook, flay*))

[RangerCado]

((TOO BAD! Initiate Dota/League CROSSOVER! *Summons treants* Go my minions!))

[Empiricist]

<Correct, except, doctors heal people through medicine and surgery, not bloodletting. Lawyers argue their case, they do not murder the defendant or plaintiff. The education system still utilizes classes, not indoctrination. The second issue is the use of mundane non-supernatural equipment to create entities that due to the limitations of their equipment, should not exist. Yes, you can summon personae via evoker, that does not mean guns are not used to kill people.>

((I'm off to sleep.))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((....
*grabs a gun and just shoots Cado in the nuts, walking off*))
>Sum it up as; Muggles either don't care or care but don't want to piss off the bad guys. And what else do you use a gun for? Intimidation?<

[Empiricist]

((Goodnight!))
<My point is, what differentiates something achieved through non-magical means, such as conventional medicine or engineering from being an acceptable break from reality to being an unacceptable break?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>I'm not a philosopher. Or anything who would know that. I'd say that it would be separated, for example, by the fact that we're using what amounts to reality bending to get our way, they aren't.<

[RangerCado]

((...*jumps* You need to work on your speed. *Once again uses Prophet's teleport*))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((*is right where he teleports and just shoots him in the nuts again*
And you have to work on your lack of finesse.))

[Empiricist]

<In that case, the question is, using a language such as C# which is fundamentally incapable of doing so and without the assistance of magic, would I be capable of creating 'strong' AI? Because as you know a recent subplot has essentially raised that question which of course in turn may affect myself and Kyle who can both program.>

>......probably not. Even the highest rolls wouldn't create an AI like Wheatley and Annie.<

[Empiricist]

<Understood. Speaking of which, just for future reference, note that Annie and Wheatley's w95.zmist malware package will only run in windows, since Zombie wrote it in assembly language. So in other words, running Linux or Macintosh will in fact protect people from getting hacked by a fate-controlled virus.>

[RangerCado]

((*Attack missed due to mini-stunning with Q* Your not Gangplank, stop shooting at me! *Uses helm of the dominator on a Centaur and summons treants.* Fear the wrath of nature! -they all attack as the trees disappear-))
