Re: Very Superstitious

So basically intelligence and education would have a negative correlation with superstitious beliefs? Was that not one of my points when I said that less educated people are more likely to be superstitious? In which case what was that argument all about? That's your argument with McDuff, not with m...

Re: Very Superstitious

I am afraid that the level of math you were speaking in is above my head. It hurts to say/type that but here it is. To be blunt I have no idea what you were talking about. But let me ask you the same question I asked McDuff, what has a negative influence over superstitious beliefs? That is to say wh...

Re: Very Superstitious

You want "evidence"? Do you mean you want me to show my working out? That's not something one needs "evidence" for. Use your words. As others have pointed out, when dealing with a population, "tendency towards" is measured by the actual manifestation of the thing which one has a tendency towards. I...

Re: Very Superstitious

Third I said more inclined towards superstition not more superstitious, those are two different things. a) no they're not. b) aside from prejudice on your part, what possible, evidence-based justification do you have for claiming other cultures are more superstitious than us?

Re: Very Superstitious

We? Who is "we" ? Or are you using the "Royal we" to describes yourself? He's talking about you.

The probability of people being superstitious is higher, but just because a phenomena has a higher probability of occurring does not mean that it will actually oc...

Re: Very Superstitious

I mean yes a lot of people have stupid superstitions. But there are some like myself who have none, unless you count in my cynicism. LOL. "I have perfectly logical beliefs, you have some quirky ideas, he's a superstitious nut." I invite you to consider the possibility that nobody actually considers...

Re: Very Superstitious

Question: Shouldn’t the fact that an NPC is superstitious depend on its personality? I mean yes a lot of people have stupid superstitions. But there are some like myself who have none, unless you count in my cynicism. You are simply not aware of them. Conditioning of which you are not aware is not ...

Re: Economic volatility and speculatory modeling

This problem could be solved very easily. Josh has mentioned that NPCs will have personalities which determine what sort of activities they are interested in; soldiering, climbing the corporate ladder, etc. Wouldn’t it make sense then to have NPCs which due to their personality would be inclined tow...

Re: Very Superstitious

Question: Shouldn’t the fact that an NPC is superstitious depend on its personality? I mean yes a lot of people have stupid superstitions. But there are some like myself who have none, unless you count in my cynicism. Also should not the incline towards superstition also be distributed unevenly, geo...

Mercenary.

I recently saw a poll on the LT forum regarding the profession many people would chose once LT is launched and a good deal of people said that they would chose mercenary/privateer as a profession. This got me thinking if one does decided to become a merc how would that play out. How do you go about ...
