Commodore, I think your comment was pretty harsh. I didn't get personal, so I don't see why you should have to. But thank you for actually making a relevent comment.

Sith, so I have no sense of humour? Well please explain to me why your original post was funny, in order to make me a more socially acceptable and altogether better person. I'd certainly love to be as well liked and respected as you (and anyone else who is in on the closely guarded secret of why Star Wars isn't fantastic).

I bow my head in shame. After all, the topic of cloning is obviously out of place on a cyberpunk forum and I will commit suicide immediately.

Goodbye, cruel world..........

(BTW Thorn, I've just found one of your clones under my bed, how the #### did it get there?)

Well if you wanna know the truth, I'm here cos of Mirrorshades.

I was staying with Chris Hayes who runs Shades, and I saw him checking out this forum......I later had a quick look myself and decided to come on in.

And you have a LARP section (even if no-one ever posts!)

So that's why I'm here. I wish there were more cyberpunk LARPers though......

God, I HATE that.......when Americans claim to be Scottish or whatever, just cos their great grandmother was Scottish and their cousin once ate a Scotch egg......

Dammit, if you were born in America you're an American!!!!

Take a look at your passport. What does it say under nationality.....that's right, American.....

Grrrrr.

Wah??

if you wanna be irrelevant, start your own topic!! I couldn't care less about Star Wars!!!

This is for talking about CLONING!!!!!!!

And #### interesting it is too!!!!!!

There, now you made me mad......

I'm not a GM. I don't even play.

At least I don't play Cyberpunk.

I've GMed and played many games, but not Cyberpunk. And of course I LARP.

Umm......I though the matrix was created by the AI machiney things? To keep the humans quiet?

Anyway to get back to the original topic, I guess I'm not as irrelevant as I first thought........the whole cloning thing seems to be almost reality now.

Not sure how I feel about this. I mean what's the point of cloning a human? Apart from to get that bloke some publicity?

It's fairly obvious where I'm from. But just to make sure, I'm from Chesterfield, England. We have a crooked spire and everything.

Ah, the pleasures of living in a nuclear-free zone.....

......yet another reason to live in Derbyshire......

This is not good.

My name should ALWAYS appear in the "last post" thing for this section......

Anyway I do actually have something to say, I'm not just randomly posting to get my name on the front page of the forums.

Just wanted to say hi to Epoch, so

Hi Epoch......hope to see you when you come up for a session.......I like new fishies.......

No seriously, come and play with us, we're nice and cool and won't be mean to you at all, and you'll probably only get called a soft southern poof about 20 times.........

The Oracle was a psychic "seer", as far as I can tell.....cos she knew what was going to happen in the real world....

.......can't see that she had anything to do with the matrix at all.

If Keanu Reeves had long hair he would be the god of my dreams...........

...........but he hasn't. So he isn't.

Hey I think I've thought of something to do with the spare clones..........prostitution.........the insurance companies could make almost 100% profit on pimping clones, cos they wouldn't have to pay them.

####,  Thorn, that's a fine idea.........

.......now where did I put that "Fisher Price Cloning Yourself for Beginners" kit?

I know it's around here somewhere.......

So Chris, how much is it worth for me not to tell the other refs??

(This one's gonna cost ya...........)

####.......such a shame I have to miss next session......but I'm on holiday. Bugger.

Roll on September!!! I have two new inductees anyway......

Believe it or not, I actually have a copy of the director's cut of Bladerunner on video.

But I have a feeling that when I see it for the first time it's gonna change my life forever, and I'd like to be with other people when it happens. I know how silly that sounds, but I'm sure it'll be a much cooler experience if I have someone to watch it with.

I know, I'm sad.........

How can you say that ICQ is better than MSN?? Are you on drugs??

MSN....cool emoticons, faster, easy to remember user id's (as they're just email addresses), easy to change fonts, sounds, etc, little message box that tells you when people come on-line.....

ICQ.......really irritating sounds, loads up really slowly, takes up way too much memory, sometimes makes noises for no reason, can't just press "enter" to send your message, it's full of weirdos who want you to look at their pre-teen porn website - I mean I'm quite capable of finding my own porn, thank you very much! And who the #### can remember ICQ numbers? I can't even remember my own.

Anyway the actual point of this was, I now have two MSN addresses cos one sometimes doesn't work. So if you wanna talk to me, you'll need to add both.

Okay, I wanna go back to the jukebox thing......

.......I agree it's pretty unrealistic to put on a track then leave.......even if it is only for "set dressing". Maybe the vamp could put on the track, then hear something outside and immediately tense up.....so we know that something's going to go down......thsi would give you the music to set the tone without looking stupid, and give him an excuse to leave pretty quickly.

Just my little idea, anyway.

What's the vamp gonna look like? How's he gonna be dressed, and so on?

To go back to the test tube masturbation thing......

I suppose you could fuse the nuclei of two sperm cells to create a zygote, but I don't think the cell would be viable since YY individuals do not occur in nature. Fusing two oocytes (egg cells) would be easy.

But why would anyone bother?

(Edited by Annie at 7:20 pm on July 18, 2001)

I haven't actually got round to seeing Bladerunner yet.............

........i know, i shouldn't even be here if i haven't seen Bladerunner.

But in my defence i'm gonna watch it as soon as i can persuade someone to watch with me, as i hate seeing films alone.

Well I wouldn't have to masturbate into a test tube..........

Anyway, cloning can be done from a hair, a piece of skin, blood sample, or whatever........

...........I don't think that you can clone a whole organism from spermatozoa.

I violently hate ICQ actually. It's wank, if you'll excuse my language - i'd delete it but a couple of my friends have ICQ and nothing else.......so I have to keep the #### thing so I can talk to them.

Sigh. The things I do for people.

That's a good point actually. How would you feel if you found out you were a clone?

Even better, what if you were a clone with a 30 year old body but you had only been created 5 years ago? Imagine that your memories aren't real, that the first 25 years of your "life" never even happened.

Okay, this question is inspired by the whole Buffy/Dawn issue (if you've seen any of the fifth season of Buffy you'll know what i'm talking about, if not you don't deserve to live anyway ).

And no, I'm not married

Spudfairy, you're up early. I'd barely gone to bed when you posted........no, I tell a lie, I'd been in bed 5 hours.

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Don't mind me, I'm in a weird mood.

And yes, although Tony Blair's smile may seem indestructable, nothing can withstand the force of a 50 megaton nuclear device - does anyone have one I can borrow?

Yeah.......and the best thing is that most of the blokes have long hair.........and long hair rules!!!!!

Someone once suggested that I only do LARP cos of the high proportion of long haired men. Well, um.......

I'm gonna go and sit in a corner now.

I have a dog now.
