I personally feel we are regulating it, but idk.
How about we all revise it together? That way it's fair and just to all, with minimal complications. Something physical has to be put in place, though. It'll prevent any future conflicts.
i'm just going to comment how I think it's funny that i'm more likely to instigate a religious discussion than to be involved in one

Gotcha.
Because you'll mention how you were at bible study or at church or some such thing but you never seem to take part in talking about anything related to religion. :/

Idk. Again, my feelings are that we're doing well as we are, but I see where you and spirit are coming from. I can see how the talks can seem angry or some such thing. Anyway, that's my input. maybe the others will have better.

Because in this setting, it's basically counterproductive.
It is because even if you don't get angry yourself, others do, I feel. That, combined with the fact that no one has changed their mind ever except myself (I think) over the course of MR makes it pretty counterproductive to talk about with any mix of people who don't agree together.
I don't know, I never really took your side much, and was too quick to judge you. I think you're actually a cool person. Although, I've learned (for the most part) not to bring religion up on here regardless, as things turn into a giant clustercrap. (Censored it for those who don't like curse words). It's not just you, but everyone here in general. I hate doing it, because it becomes this long debate, and leads to arguments, and I just want us all to get along.
Alright, guys, I want to write a nice, detailed proposition here. to agree with it, simply like the post. Do NOT reply.
Alright, here goes nothing:
I suggest that we limit our religious beliefs on the OOC. In fact, strictly prohibit it. I say that religious matters are strictly personal, and should be handled via PMs.
It also goes for any situation that becomes heated. Once the conversation raise above normal parameters, it should then immediately be taken to PMs.
Any who do not comply with these rules will be subject to a PM warning from the GM. If the issue escalates, drastic measure may be taken. The GM is also subject to said rules, and if 2/3's of our total group votes, then there will be a PM council headed by the next most prominent member of the group. Once a majority vote (4 out of 5) is achieved, then the council will decide in favor for or against the accused.
I have to reply; nobody liked it and there are issues. For rules one and two, if we move them to PMs, we have literally all the same people, sans perhaps one or two, but in a new location instead; it doesn't change much.
We don't have a GM and won't establish one. There's also not much anyone can do to "accused" other than kicking them out, which isn't worth it until someone becomes hostile.

Again, "mysterious ways" and all that. I feel that if you can claim that a human elected government is backed by and in power due to god, then I can claim that he can use fortune telling to give messages or signs to someone.
Very few use "mysterious ways" as an explanation of God. Catholics I know do, but that's it.

The problem with that is that democracy sucks. Also that it's a stacked deck. You're basically suggesting, not intentionally of course, that it should just be "Dark shut up." Plus, like david so vehemently put it a year ago, religion is a huge part in the lives of most members here. I get where you're coming from, but with religious stuff I just don't agree it should be banned, and with heated stuff, the non-involved often help cool things to some degree. Idk I guess. I just don't think it's a great change.
Good times. Maybe eventually my passion online will overcome my apathy again. That would be nice.

I'll get angry when something not up for discussion is attacked. That's about it.

I oppose this completely. edit: oh lol we weren't supposed to reply i am fail
So the stuff I want help with for that game is so far this: Please look for errors, ways to improve, suggestions, flaws, suggestions, questions, ideas, etc.
(Note to self, age options are 6-14) (Note to self, medication related questions are multiple choice check box)

Centuries ago, there were those who felt religion and science were not only separate and non-overlapping, but also polar opposites. Whether these views were correct or not, there were many on every side who held them. This could be said to have culminated with the discovery of 'Psycha,' and later compounded with the discovery of 'Psycha Theory.' When Psycha were first discovered, the world's religions scrambled to explain them within their own context. As few of them had ever attributed such abilities to their deities and various types of demigods, each form of the vast majority of religions at the time quickly began to polarize them. Even among the non-religious, Psycha were quickly demonized or sanctified, often creating new religions themselves that centered on the Psycha and their abilies. Though the first two Psycha tried to quell these developing beliefs and reassure those prior, very few listened to them. This began to fester more tension between the religious and the non-religious, especially when Psycha Theory was first peer-reviewed and accepted. Things got more strained when the first academy for Psycha was built, aimed at developing those with "Pyschic" potential and learning more about Psycha as a whole and as a concept. Around the time of the third such academy being built, the discovery of Magia accelerated the boil of these conflicts. With no understanding of Magia whatsoever, the religions of the world that had not simply accepted Psycha as another piece of the universe saw this as a chance to do what they saw as leveling the playingfield, claiming the Magia to be acts of various types of divine intervention. As more were discovered, there became many schools for Magia, built by any such religious group, to try to compete with the still growing number and quality of Psycha academies. In present day, the "Schools of Magia" and the "Psycha Academies" are more at peace on the surface, though tensions still run high behind many of their backers, and competition between the two and their students is very high. While this competitiveness is often more light-hearted in nature, similar to standard universities and their sports teams, rather than as countries and their armies, the desire to compete on more meaningful levels is still running high. The "Event of 0 M-P-E" showed that a small change could set of a new and more deadly world war than had ever been seen by man and it's creations alone. While the Event reduced the world's population by 30%, many things were learned about both Magia and Psycha as a result, and the dying UN fell early on, replaced after the war by the PNC. The PNC has kept the various countries of the world at a relatively peaceful stage, allowing the SoM and PA to continue uninterupted and successfully, with similar peace between them. Because of the Event and the PNC, almost every country in the world has government and private co-funded PAs and SoMs, which all potential Magia and Pyscha are required to attend for testing, as well as potential schooling and testing until the age of 17, at which time compulsory education ends upon graduation from the basic and intermediate classes. Many Psycha and Magia find work in fields related to their abilities, but most end up working for PAs or SoM respectively. In short, the discovery of Psycha and Magia, as well as Psycha Theory, and their discoverers' personal lives as well have shaped the world, and possibly the entire universe, into something that could only be imagined beforehand. The overpopulation of the planet was cut in a single year to a more manageable level, though the cost was the lives of those who were removed from the planet's population. While the discoverers of Psycha publicly and privately felt that Psycha could be both a danger and a benefit to humanity, they had hoped that the planet's population would be spread throughout the galaxy before such a tragedy could occur. When Magia were discovered, the two both redoubled their efforts to learn about Psycha, as well as Magia, to better prevent such an event. Though they failed, the fruits of their work have improved the lives of all who lived through the war to see them. It's speculated that they and some of the original Magia are still alive today through these advances, though these are rumors and beliefs moreso than anything supported by evidence. Whether or not they somehow survived, many wonder what they would think of the world today, and such questions have raised both heated debates and heated battles within and between the Pyscha and Magia. Whatever those first generations of the two would think, there is no doubt that they were the seed of the modern world, 324 years later. - [Player name]
A = Ability M = MP MT = MP total P = Power C = Control E = Energy F = Flux
Psycha Ability Formula: A = [MT] ^ .5 / ( (F / C) - C)
Psycha Power Formula: P = M * ( (M ^ ( - (M + F) ) ) + (C / M) )
Psycha Flux Formula: F = MT / C
IAUF Formula: S1 = ( (MT * ( (A + C) - F) ) / 4) ^ 4 S2 = Circular volume of cubic shape S1 S2 = Field Size (Fields are spherical)
Energy base formula: E = A * ( (P ^ C - (C + A) ) ^ M) + (M * 2)
Transmute: Takes an observed object within a set 4 dimensional locational range and creates an IAUF around it, then sends it to an unobserved state, then brings it back into a semi-observed state, with some changes made, keeps it in that state as more are made, and then observes it in it's finished, new state.
X-kineticism: Creates an IAUF in which no outside observation can be made. Then nullifies the field so that matter, antimatter, dark matter, energy, and dark energy respectively can flow through naturally, and allows observation of a given type of energy and/or matter/state of energy/matter by the kinetic within and through the IAUF.
Those abilities are really interesting. And they actually take Quantum Physics past "it's both because we don't know" to "you know what sod this we're making it both". That amuses me to no end. The history is sad but exceptional.
