The Director

Congratulations to all. Welcome to the staff. I hope you enjoy your time as staff.

No. A zombie is a reanimated corpse. If there were a virus that mutated the human body but didn't kill the body, then the victims wouldn't be called zombies.

If he's not the mafian, he's the medic.

A white girl could can't as much can't as a white girl could can't when a white girl literally could not even. Depends on the member. Some believe in saving all life, some only believe in saving animals.

See the "personal information" part of the OP. And I am very close to being 25. The United States isn't monolingual at all. As a matter of fact, where I nearly half the residents speak Spanish. In other areas, there aren't many people who speak English at all. If you are talking about the fact that different languages are not required for most of elementary and middle school, well it IS offered. In high school (this varies by state) you are required to take a different language (I took Spanish) to receive your diploma. I believe it's also required in most colleges to receive a degree. You are supposed to pass a class, you don't have to master the language though. The reason we do not require mastery of other languages is because it's unlikely that an average American will need to use another language. Our country is rather large, and the only two languages of the countries that border us are French and Spanish. If those are required to learn for your chosen career field, then you have the option of doing so. Otherwise, it's a waste of time because it's unlikely you'll be put in a situation where you require another language. Unless you live in one of the areas I mentioned previously, in which case you probably already know the language... No. Not in the way imagined in the movies. For a simple reason as well. Rigor Mortis would literally prevent the corpse from moving.

1. End Call of Duty 2. Revamp Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (not SWTOR but Kotor)

Eventually. Not in the near future though. 1. Language exists so that we may communicate with each other. Even if we communicated with grunts and gestures, it would still be a language. 2. Because the people who created the written language that we speak (English) decided to associate those sounds with those letters. Even the names of the letters themselves are based on this. The letter's names are also based on what those letters represent (or did at the time). For instance, the letter "S" looks like a snake, which makes a hissing noise (ssssssss). 3. English writing first began AFTER the letters had been decided upon. Once they were decided upon, they were taught to people who then became writers. 4. Written language is literally scribbles (symbols) that are meant to be able to be translated into a verbal component. For instance, the sound "Bang" could just have easily been "Sldk". However, a group of people sat down, hashed it all out, and decided that the "ABC" alphabet would be the one used for the English language. Unfortunately, they didn't keep transcripts of this meeting (primarily because they didn't have a way to write it all down ;D) 5. Yes, other people have thought of this before. It's actually not as complicated as you think it is. That's actually how Gaelic turned into English. Languages change all the time. Letters exist the way they do now because it has been decided upon by society at large. If everyone started replacing the letter F with S, that would then become a part of our language (that's a joke btw, you should google it). Everything that communicates is doing so in a language. Flowers use the language of pollen and spores, animals use barks or chirps, computers use binary (and other languages), and people use English, Spanish, etc. Languages that are in use are also subject to change. Sometimes very rapidly. A good for instance of this is the definition of the word "gay".

Nah. I'm not the prosecutor. I'm not the detective. I'm not "protown" or any of that. I am simply a moderator trying to see you guys lynch another moderator. Because it would be funny. And you should do it anyway.

And one of which is Total Mayh3m. I keep saying this. I'm not even involved in the game. I'm just trying to do you all a favor because I know things you don't know but can't tell you exactly how I know them or where I learned the information from. You can either lynch TM, or lose the game. 'Nuff said.

In the 1960's NASA's budget peaked at just under 6% of the total federal budget. Right now, their budget is less than 1% of the total federal budget.

Actually, yeah. Oni doesn't lose records, they classify them. They also don't falsify records either. The punishment for doing so is worse than the punishment for leaking those records. Even in real life we see instances where it would seem that intelligence agencies should have forgot to keep records of things. The CIA's involvement in the Bay of Pigs as well as the NSA's Operation Prism are two shining examples of this. Intelligence agencies keep very detailed records of what they do and when they do it. Also, in Halo Reach Noble 6's Service Record was discussed. Noble 6 was a Spartan III.

Still means his odds of being mafia this time around are massive.

You didn't notice how Total Mayh3m didn't renounce my claim that he's Mafia? The fact that he hasn't been Mafia in the past games increases his odds of being Mafia this time exponentially. Especially since he would enjoy being Mafia and probably requested it this time around.

Well the thing is, if you go completely by the games and not the books than everything is fine. Seriously, no bad birthdays (included in the additional content for the games, i.e. game books), no people being where they shouldn't be, and no covenant strike teams landing on Reach before Captain Keyes lead them to Reach. The thing that upsets me about the canon breach with Reach (odd how that rhymes) is that it is easily fixable. A patch to change the time stamps in the game and saying "Oops, we missprinted the b-days. Our bad. Here's the real ones." A book on the other hand, that requires rewriting the book and rereleasing it. Which costs far more money than admitting a mistake.

I'm not even playing... And you never had freedom.

Evidence.

There shouldn't even need to be an "A before B" at all. It is NOT difficult to keep up with canon. You know where the whole "games before books" or "books before games" thing came from? Bungie not paying attention to their own story and then trying to pretend they didn't mess up.

I absolutely agree. Except for Total Mayh3m. He's mafia, and therefor cannot be trusted.

To help you guys out, I have been assured by command that Total Mayh3m is a member of the mafia. I am assured of this.

When has a little thing like Canon ever effected the games in the past? They'll just rewrite The Fall of Reach again.

1. No. Plants are defined by their photosynthesis, they are defined by the way their cells are shaped. 2. That's correct, according to the comics, which are not real btw. 3. No, Superman was born the way he is. He didn't do any gene splicing or anything scientific. Not to mention that he's not human. Or real.

Right now? No. However with genetic engineering or advanced machinery, sure. Our skin already has what can be VERY loosely called photosynthesis, where it can convert a small amount of the sun's energy to convert the 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin into Vitamin D3. That's not quite the same as photosynthesis, but conceptually it is. So, it should be a simple matter of some genetic tweaking or discovering the right kind of light rays we need to absorb to replace our food needs. Also, I wouldn't call it "achieving" photosynthesis. Requiring photosynthesis isn't exactly a strength. True, our average lifespan may increase (I say may because this is all hypothetical), however we would require quite a bit of sunlight. The larger and more complex a creature is, the more energy it requires to function. Without machines that can adequately output the same type and amount of energy that we get from the sun, we wouldn't be able to live indoors or in areas of the planet with extended periods of darkness. Yes, we would require less food, but we would still require food. We wouldn't have to eat nearly as much, but we would have to get nutrients that the sun doesn't supply from our food. Just like plants need nutrients from the soil. Not to mention that fearing the dark would no longer be an irrational fear... A far more efficient way to go about things would be to genetically enhance humanity so that we do not require as much energy or nutrients (or at least make it to where we can use them more efficiently) and create artificial food. Food that has the same nutritional content that we require, but in pill form (or in injections). This would increase our lifespans to nearly the same length as photosynthesis and make our food able to be manufactured. We could then fit more food in storage. That way, instead of a month's supply, you can hold a year's supply.

Oh, you meant what color was the mirror... I thought you meant the actual glass used in it's construction. lol Because the glass itself can be dyed any color. You can have green tinted, red tinted, yellow tinted, blue tinted, and pretty much any other color you can think of tinted.

Immediate answer to your question: It doesn't have to be. It can be any color. Also, you wouldn't have been able to go any higher than the manager you spoke to. That would be the "Senior Adviser" level, which is the highest level lol But yeah, you need 1 piece of identifying information. If you don't have a credit card set up or the ability for device code verification, then there's nothing anyone can do. (I was once able to guide a guy through setting up his credit card because he remembered his password though).

Microsoft makes money off of the advertisements, and a big contributor to that just happens to be the United States military.
