Creationism satire for you
smurf. Yes.
That was after I had quit the main game, for the most part. I tried restarting a few years ago, but it was too weird now. A year or two ago, Shlup, banned member Doomgaze, and I all started playing on a free shard based on The Second Age, found here. I had to stop playing during law school and haven't gotten back into it, but you might be interested in. I do miss T2A, with its steep learning curve and inevitable deaths by PKs, lost items due to thieves and looters, and other player interactions that are lost in many modern MMOs.
I didn't get into it until late '04, what with that being the first time I had a computer in my life.
You played Ultima Online? During what version? I started playing at the tail end of The Second Age, which is the best version, and when UO was the most simply entertaining MMO ever.
I actually haven't heard of this particular fight, but it doesn't surprise me -- especially from Texas. IQ tests are pretty sketchy by themselves, but there's not a readily available, entirely objective way of measuring mental capacity. And courts like simple numbers (such as Florida's "any IQ handed to me that is over 70 is not retarded" rule), and often fail to appreciate the subtlety that necessarily surrounds those numbers. I imagine it will take another decade or so for this stuff to be worked out. And I doubt the Supreme Court will hear another case just on this issue anytime soon, as unless the state court's IQ determination somehow violates procedural due process, a stupid or even ridiculous method of measuring retardation may not be considered as raising a constitutional issue.
Read this and this. You've probably already seen them, but still. I have to deal with this being in the news every smurfing day just because I live in the same state
