The Nomadic Trooper

I'm pro-choice. This is actually a good basis for my beliefs, as well. If a parent already questioned their stand on having the kid, only to be told they will have a mental defect or life-threatening disease, that only makes the strain that much more, so imo that baby should get aborted. I'm sure any arguement I come up with will make it seem like I only want a perfect breed of children running about, but I will honestly say that children with mental defects such as downs or anything that is crippling their quality of life in proportion to their age in a significant way should be aborted. They do not contribute to society and are like constantly taking care of a baby/small child. Constantly having to watch them to make sure they don't do something they shouldn't despite their age.

Is your computer 9yrs old like mine? If not, be thankful My parents are hellbent that there's nothing wrong with it being 9yrs old as long as it works.

The only time I don't judge someone is if I have done something similar Which, still makes me judge them, but it also makes me judge (or re-judge) myself I agree with Death. People who bitch about not being judged are people who are weak minded. Sadly, I can't help but see people like that every day, and their numbers growing. If I had the opportunity to sit every whiny kid between the ages of 14-17 down and beat them until they understood their faults instead of crying about it, I would.

My parents can be hard asses at times Probably since I have gotten a 4.0GPA before, so they know what I'm capable of... I'm just super lazy & do the minimum work I still generally pass with an A or B, though. Never a C or below.

Well, that would rely on the kids & their level of responsibility, which then wouldn't matter what knowledge they had but how prone they were to try things that are either unknown to them or that they have vague ideas of. I didn't mean to sit them down & tell them in detail the various things they can do or should do if they are in that situation to make it more enticing, but enough knowledge so that they are aware of what they might end up doing & that it isn't a simple "This is something that feels good" deal. It's definitely not something I take lightly either, even though I'm only 16 I still realize the emotion complications that can come with it, especially with this age group

You should probably do your research. There have been numerous Psychological studies throughout the years (none made real public because it's nothing "new") but it states that it's BETTER for children to have some sexual knowledge at younger ages When kids start asking questions about their "parts" or about sex in general it's better to answer truthfully & not use terms like "pee-pee" or "down there" as it will cause confusion later on whereas telling them "You're a boy, you have a penis" or vice-versa for girls is better for their mind Kids that commit more sexual deeds as a teenager usually is because their questions were never adequately answered by their parents so that they fully understand not only what their answers are, but the magnitude of whatever it is they are asking about so they are forced to rely on media and their friend's knowledge, which depicts mostly everything sexual as "good" so they see no issue in it So in reality, it's the parent's fault for not educating their children about sex that they commit sexual acts at an "inappropriate" age. (whatever age you decide to be "inappropriate") ----- Back on topic, though I believe that, in general, Violence is indeed more "acceptable" than sex in the United States (see above for some reasoning) because Violence is straightforward. The repercussions are straightforward and there is no good/bad line with it It's just "bad" according to the general society. Sex, however, has standards of when it is Ok depending on factors like age, who your having it with, the sex of that person, the race of that person in some situations, and the emotional attachment. Since sex is a lot more complicated than violence, using it in things like Video Games like a straight-up sex scene would then require the kids who play the game to understand the reason it might be Ok in that situation Which would then require the game makers to be responsible in their depiction of the sexual act, otherwise they will get complaints up the ass for years to come if they use it wrongly

I might sound like a total noob here, but how do I use these codes? I've tried them using the 'Cheat' function on ZSNES but it just keeps telling me that they are 'Invalid'...

These all sound like interesting ideas to me! I'm not one to really come up with ideas myself but I can say, however, that in strategy games such as FE more customization = personal preference = personal tactics = more variety, which should mean more of a fanbase, correct? Of course, you wouldn't want to overload with features like slamming a new FE with tons & tons of new stuff/old & dropped stuff because that may not bode so well & create more deviation rather than draw to the series Personally, I would be happy with any new Fire Emblem (NEW, not a remake, although the remake in the works seems nice :3) as long as it doesn't have the giant as hell maps from FE4 (if that's your thing, good for you, but I prefer more chapters as to a map big enough to be split into 3 or 4 individual chapters)

Haha, tbh I kinda forgot to check back here... But anyways! I decided to restart my playthrough due to...well, just 'cuz This time, though, I can take all of your advice that you've given from the start! Thanks to you all ^_^

Ugh, it sucks when people overdo the whole 'sexual' spin... But thanks for the advice!

I'll do some searching for it now that its been brought to my attention Thanks ^_^

Yeah, I've downloaded that & it's been great :) Sounds interesting....Links?

Very helpful 1st link, thank you very much! The 2nd link, I believe I read it before but for some reason I didn't understand it? ...Yeah....must've been one of those long nights...

Idk if there is already a topic asking this & cba to look but as it currently stands, what hacks are completed? It seems there are a lot of projects going (& many of them look promising) but I'm currently looking for some completed player-made hacks that are fun/professional-seeming I currently have MK404's hack and Tactics Universe Are there any others that I should know of &/or look into?

I'm not using Lugh because I never started to use him & he didn't seem that great upon having him available so...he got benched.... So I should look into using the following units, I gather : Lugh Fir Ray Miredy Zeiss (maybe)

Woops, I've been away and haven't played a whole lot, but here's my progress now Chapter 11 Rutger - level 19 Gonzales - level 14 Clarine - level 19 Shin - level 13 (almost 14) Elphin - level 1 Dieck - level 3 Hero Lance - level 2 Paladin Roy - level 17 Is that good for being this far into the game? Do you think I'll have any issues with promotions? Where do I get promotion items in this game anyway? (what chapter, etc) Still accepting unit reccomendations as well (Any unit not listed here should be assumed as their start level upon recruiting since I only deploy those I actually use)
