Very true. For being a God of the underworld he is surprisingly just and fair
Especially after his own brothers banished him there.

Probably banished him because they didn't like his ruling style. I mean, what God in their right mind has time to be a good ruler? They should all be living debauched lives and treating their subjects as insignificant playthings.

The Greek Underworld is often viewed as a bad place, largely because of Christian notions of Hell getting mixed up with it, but the Underworld was simply the next step after life where all souls went.  It had various parts, some for the good, some for the bad, and Hades/Pluto is given various interpretations ranging from kind to cruel.

The Greco-Roman gods were interesting because they had character - they had flaws and virtues, desires and the potential to fail in seeking them.  Monotheistic gods tend to be fairly one-dimensional by comparison, with little in the way of goals, character growth over time (usually because they're proclaimed perfect beings from the start) and with nearly all failures being treated as the fault of their human followers, not the gods themselves.

And now to a completely unrelated topic: I finally slogged through all 15 pages of new/updated topics on the forums since I disappeared last year. That was lots of fun! We have so much cool stuff coming up.

Can't wait for Greater Maldrood and Eriadu Authority. It'll be very fun to play as Warlords proper. And I need to watch for Steam sales for SoaSE so I can join in on the Ascendancy fun.

me too... I have the damn disc version and let's just say, it's less than optimal...
Not to mention that the disc is starting to look... interesting. Yeah I used it a whole lot, and though I watched out for it, you know what tends to happen to discs...

You should take care of your discs more I've been on this planet for 20 years and still haven't caused a disc to be unusable. Nearly but not quite.

heh, I've won. I've been on this planet for 23 years, and caused only 1 disc to be unreadable, but even that was on purpose. I wanted to write some music out for my grandpa and somehow it did not work quite well, so I broke it in half.
BTW usually the problem starts when I give a disc to a friend. My only criteria is to "if I see a scratch I'll kill you" and when I get back there are scratches all over it...
Then for thirty minutes I usually ventillate by screaming in their faces...

That really is a great policy for disc borrowing, though executions for failure may enhance it a bit.

Currently I have not killed any discs in my 19 years, so I'm doing alright thus far.

Hell, I've killed dozens of discs, and I couldn't care less.  The vast, vast majority wouldn't be of any use to me now. ;)

Thing is I give this as a criteria, but for myself too. If I borrow a disc from a friend, i give it back to him the way I got it, not even a scratch.
This is why my games from the 90s still work.

Or do what I do and not let my friends take my games most of the times presides most of the games I had were not the "big" games and where not as important.

Well, if you want to do it that way... though I think it is selfish not to, at least once. Then if they messed one of my games up, I did not eather, but before that I always gave them a chance, and I had 1 friend whom I told not even a scratch, and he really gave it back perfect condition.

Yeah I'd give them a chance with a game that is either not one of my big plays or is easy to find/cheap to purchase. I have a couple games that are hard to find that I don't entrust to anyone unless I know them well.

But all that really doesn't matter as my list of friends is paltry and none of them really are gamers.
