Please tell me what you thought of it, etc.

Do you want to see the rest of the series?

that's pretty spectacular actually. The animation is very smooth and fluid and it doesn't have that many glitches except for a few spots. The only things I can compalin about are the pauses the movie took every two seconds. Also some of the interacting between characters seemed... illogical? The guy didn't see the clown until he turn exactly in his direction? ANd that guy on the subway kept swaying and making odd facial expressions.

See what I did there? I took a joke that wasn't funny, then added in an early 90s reference to create a joke that wasn't funny but would recieve a positive response from people who were children around that time.

I still have all my pogs

I title this post the following

BSC's New Years Resolution Post

Part 1 (Short Part): TheHappySheep - FINISHED
Part 2 (Short Part): Yhtomit - Unfinished (Questionable Skill)

Part 3 (Long Part): Hamplant - FINISHED
Part 4 (Long Part): MadandUgly - FINISHED

Part 5 (Long Part): OPEN

Part 6 (Short Part): FunGuy - FINISHED

Part 7 ( Short Part): Allemansing - FINISHED

Part 8 (Long Part): Meebs - FINISHED
Part 9 (Long Part): British Moose - FINISHED
Part 10 (Long Part): FunGuy - FINISHED

Part 11 (Long Part): Meebs/Killerangel? - UNFINISHED

Part 12 (Short Part): TheHappySheep - FINISHED

Part 13 (Short Part): Reyals - UNFINISHED (See below)
Part 14 (Long Part): Ekublai - Finished, but need to Send in

Part 15 (Long Part): Allemansing - FINISHED

Part 16 (Long Part): EKublai - Finished, but need to Send in

Part 17 (Long Part): Meebs - FINISHED
Part 18 (Long Part): MrButters - FINISHED
Part 19 (LAST PART!): FunGuy - FINISHED

So basically someone needs to contact Reyals (I guess that'd be me.) and part 5 is the only open part since Brit moose left. I've checked with meebs getting it onwith his new comp.

I realize this is a stupid nit-picky thing to do but I wanna talk about some of the finished parts by some of these guys. Now, I'm not trying to be some authoritarian dictator to this collab, cuz it's all your guys decisions, but I really want this to do well and I kinda (maybe) want to try to redo some of the parts. *braces for rejection.* To be fair to you guys and to the authors whose parts were already accepted I'll just name "trouble"

The one real weak part so far I think is Killer Angel's part 11. Now the .fla has killer angel doing it. Did you redo the part? then awesome.

If this is the case, the the only ones I'm really concerned with is part 2 and hamplant's part 3. It's alright enough if you think so.

On Reyals, He's been active enough on the bbs and inactive enough in the thread for me to come to believe he's forgotten us, so unless you already have that info I'll check in with him.

On part five, I have a good friend that is also a fair hand at flash, I could ask him to do something if you want.

I think at this point i can call myself master of this thread for at least the next few days. So, basically what I see in your only flash is sub-par skill and basic knowledge of flash and tweening. Seeing as you submitted this two days ago, I'm hesitant to give you a part, but if you can prove with a little five second animation that shows your best skill, you can have the part.

You know what? scratch that, I think it would be much if you were to just do part 2 to the best of your abilities. Read page 1 of the thread thoroughly so you know the requirements. Any questions. I check the thread often. gl

Music for Part 2 right click and save as.

for what it's worth here it is.

Part 14 -Ekublai

His story reminds me... me... of the opression I see every day on the streets. The taunting... laughing... Knowing that when you go home at night you will not be able to find solace because of the terrible things that people have done to who you are. You self-being has been belittled in the eyes of your 'superiors'.... The scorn... The blatant hate... the snide remarks...

Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids.

You gotta love grandparents that cater to your every whim when this time of the year comes around. Not that I don't feel guilty about this just a little bit for them giving it to me. But com'on. hey got it at half price. no lie. Completely new, unopened Ps3 my grandpa bought off this guy in the Quad Cities. I guess he like threatened him or something and the clerk just gave in and gave it to him for $250. Or maybe he just said he was on his deathbed and this would be the last present he would give me. All I know is that he's done that the past ten years every Christmas. I do also feel kind of bad for the people that actually had it reserved at the store. But hey, if man grandpa can get up every morning, drive in his car, play tennis for 4 hours with an arm that has no cartilige in the should socket, and a torn bicep, at 85 years old, and still have time to go and haggle with a store clerk (I didn't people still haggled) and buy me a present, then why can't someone go pick up their Ps3 on time. It truly is the luck of the draw. Whoever wanted that Ps3 just got their ass handed to them. :)

sry for postin so much but part two isn't workin for me so with your permissioin I think I'm gong to go with aprt 14 as I think that's still open.

Meebs do you have the parts? Funguy isn't getting back to me on this part 2.

What you have my dear friend is a Trojan that is specifically targeting your program files (Apparently it is most interested in your entertainment section) I would not be surprised in teh least if it started trying to move beyond that by now. The best thing to do is either a complete system restore. Or you can be the hero and track that bitch virus down with 5 different virus programs like I do. (I actually only got three, but I'm safe) But considering the damage it's done. I'd say backup all your files on a CD, but make sure you scan them with anti-virus first, then you should do a system restore, that will get all your programs back, and start out fresh. aight?
Do it quickly or else the trojan might start deleting actual important stuff like the cabinets and anti-virus program, sooner or later the hacker will get into your credit card number.

BOO!!!

Eternity as we know it only goes as far as the big bang and into the unknown. What came before the big bang may not have applied the same laws of logic as we hold now.

Nice immortalization of ones own words there. ;) your words will obviously live agelessly in history.

Very nearly finished. I'll take some time during next weekend to finish that up and come up with ideas for part 2.

If it's all the same to you, I'll take part 2 To do over the holiday break.

Hey who still has to do their parts, cuz I wann kinda get on em

God could not have created himself.

What do you mean by generalities? I think we’re very capable of accepting very specific things. Do you mean generalities as an apposite to absolutes? In which case, I would say that in the pursuit of truth, we can only accept generalities. But in the pursuit of beliefs we can accept very many absolutes. I think a person who feels that they’ve found absolutes in search of truth is misleading themselves.

I tend to disagree. I find that in the case of finding absolutes that originate in the human mind, we must take as many things we hold to be absolutes and test them. This clears the picture as to what we have meant in our persuit all these years. If we understand the absolutes that we test these theories against, we then understand the hurtle we are trying to overcome. Speaking in generalities does stop us from believing in a potentially nonexistant theory, but I believe beliefs are the only things that stop us from delving deeper. For instance, my aim here is not to convince you of an absolute, but to test a relatively well-known idea inhuman thinking and find out if it has relevance and what the relevance is, to the question.

Obviously, for logic to function, there needs to me some amount of absolutes, and therefore some amount of beliefs. It’s sort of a technical difficulty, and a sacrifice I’m obviously willing to make on many accounts.

I don't really understand your point here. Absolute = belief is mostly what I'm getting. Are you saying that you are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of absolutes that might otherwise change you thinking in order to persue a course?

I do tend to believe we have very little power over what we think. I believe humans are ultimately reactive in nature, and those reactions are controlled by variables – variables that exist within and variables that exist as external stimuli. I believe the variety of our character and our choices is the result of the subtle or not-so-subtle variations in the variables affecting us (variety, variations, variables… heh).

But don't we have the choice to ignore the basic instinct and step back and think about the matter. In this case, we are choosing to ignore the variables' consequences, even to the point of embracing the negative consequences, which very few other species do, in order to find a more corrective measure.

I know it’d be ludicrous to say that I’m not searching for perfection. On some level I must be. But in my responses in this thread, I think I’ve generally avoided the path to perfection. And I think I’ve done with because it’s not a question of THE path to me, but of MY path.

But being your path, then isn't that free will. Butisn't your argument previously that you cannot make your own path becasue we have very little decisions that are theresult of free will. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would see a life of free will to result in the following of THE path even more because one cannot create another.

I don’t know what perfection is, nor do I know what is absolute. I can say the absolute is not perfect for me, however I cannot say whether the absolute is in itself perfect. The latter phrase is intrinsic to the former.

I'm not sure what you mean. If we were to actually find the absolute that by all common goals was considered perfection, what could possibly the imperfection. I understand the possibility that there may be no absolute, but I feel this is an argument that can only be solved by looking at the various arguments and then deciding whether they fit our definition.

I cannot say what the flaw is.

fair enough.

Well, is it not free will to object to its potential absence? Is not death itself a violation of free will by your definition unless you choose to die? Or the fact that we aren’t born with wings?

I see what you mean. So by suffering in the afterlife, you are in fact making a decision to suffer based on your own free will?

I’m not sure how you got from ‘lack of free will’ to ‘suffering in the immortal life.’

That is my fault, sometimes I forget that I'm talking with several people who probably have a have enough sense not to search everything I have already posted. By this I mean that the lack of free will will mean that the after-life is basically a dead stopping point, with no choice. To at least my mortal view, this lack of choice whether it be in a place as blissful as heaven or as demon as hell, I would suffer because my afterlife is a line with no foreseeable end. (Again, this is not taking into account your belief of no happiness or sorrow in the afterlife)

It is my assumption that the desire for free will is a mortal desire, as it stems from the ego. If the ego is shed in the after-life, then the preoccupation with free-will would also (I think).

Fair enough. But then, doesn't instinct stem from an ego of sorts? The ego formed by evolution, given, whatever. It is what creates the food chain and everything that makes an animal automatically know, "I was born to hunt this smaller creature." So if this is the case, is instinct also shed in the afterlife And again, what replaces the free will that was shed, what replaces ego? In fact, what replaces emotion?

I also hold the opinion that “eternal happiness” is a misnomer. I don’t think there is either happiness or misery in the afterlife, as I find these things to be values applied by mortal minds.

It's a good thing I'm reading this backwads instead of forwards or else I would have to revise my entire argument to your unique view of things. Very well, so there is no emotion in your view of an afterlife. Not out of spite or anything, but what is in your view of the afterlife so I can understand how to question it?

You can speak out against a higher power because that higher power has given you the means to speak out against it. You can say society is not justice because society has taught you justice. I say society not as the stereotypical collective, but as more of a personal environment.

Is it really about excitement or about a sense of identity, self-affirmation? I think you’re simplifying this all a bit much to make a point that I’m honestly not convinced with. There are still numerous variables within the limitations set by the divine.

The little loophole here is that we function off of earthly desires, the human mind. That being said we don’t have the words nor the capacity to understand what is truly meant by the word happiness, except for the fact that such a condition is an enjoyable one. Of course, I’m still limited by human words and human perception. I would imagine that a mortal would hate heaven. I, nor you, can speak for a spirit.

By removing the absolute from the picture you’re technically free to classify anything you wish as perfection. This to me is a bit circular in thinking. You also seem to imply that the ‘eternal’ is not perfect, but perhaps it’s simply not perfect to the mortal?

I like a lot of what you have to say, especially in the last paragraph, the only thing that concerns me is that you seem to be leaning towards the thinking that all humankind can do is accept things the way they are in generalities. If that is all we can do, we are then accepting that there is no power to what we think, even though you previously stress the seperation of powers that create the decisions we make.

In discussing your strongest argument. I say that by removing the absolute, you are also being too vague about the path on finding perfection. Are you implying that the absolute is not perfection itself. For if it is, we are looking at a picture without perfection, there must be some flaw to it. I ask you, "What is the flaw that constitutes imperfection" Is it the fact that what the picture represents is only one moment in time, to forever go on as it was first made, much like eternal bliss, or is the perfection the missing pixels that did not come out quite right, once again proving that this world is not without its chaos, especially if we consider the pixels missing to be the answer to this question. WE may end up comparing the singular moment of a picture to eternal life in heaven or hell. Would you more likely wonder at a "technically" unflawed picture OR would you more likely wonder at the mystery behind those missing pixels? And being a mortal, would not I desire to keep the same mind in both lives. It is not a very good statement for the case of justice or in fact, free will. Many believe that such a thing does not exist in this case. ANd if this is the case, then wouldn't suffering go unhindered in both the mortal and immortal life?
