[An Objectivist Mmorpg]

The closest thing I've found to an objectivist mmorpg is Runescape. Players are allowed to use all skills, not just two; and all forms of attack/defense rather than specializing in a specific class giving players the opportunity for more self-reliance than WoW. However, the economy is no longer fully player set due to the problem of real world trading (trading actual money for in-game gold or items) and there's not much in the way of repercussions for evil acts. I guess no mmorpg is truly objectivist.

[A thought about MMO's]

I haven't counted, but I've probably saved a few thousand dollars over the last few years by playing WoW. It was only when I got a girlfriend/wife that I started hemorrhaging money....does that mean girlfriends are immoral?

Yes, and I can prove it mathematically.

Time is money, and maintaining a relationship with a woman requires both time and money. If we concede for a moment (I don't, and I sincerely hope you don't either) that money is the root of all evil, then we get the following equations:

Time=Money

Money=√Evil

Woman=Time*Money

Woman=(√Evil)²

Woman=Evil

There you are, mathematical proof. Now I have to go suck up to my girlfriend in case she sees this.

Sorry to bump such an old topic, but I think I should point out that the reason so many people who aren't ordinarily fantasy fans like TG is because he is not a fantasy author. He claims to be a general fiction author with only a fantasy element to his writing. He himself is not a big fan of fantasy. His work outside the fantasy genre is at least as good as his work inside, as you can see if you read The Law of Nines.

[Introduction]

Hello. I'm fairly new to objectivism. I've read quite a lot of Ayn Rand's work, and I think that anyone who honestly gives it rational thought could find no better philosophy to live by. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to talking to you all.
