Better Use of the SimVac?
veilchen:
Alright Ancient, I'll try and help. About the SimVac...
So I guess if the loss of relationship between robber and victim is only slight, there is no reason not to use it to ...ahem... 'borrow' a skill-point or two if a promotion hinges on it and there is simply no time to build the skill the regular way?
Can a sim use it on any other sim? I mean, can an adult use it on a teenager? I know, it sounds mean, but the teenies don't need the skill-points quite that urgently, unless its for scholarship reasons and the age-transiton is too close for them to re-build the skill.
My only worries were in the relationship department. I did not want to ruin a parent/child relationship, nor a explode a marriage, unless I feel like doing that on purpose. That's the reason I have so many silly questions, I have never used it before, you see. It never occured to me to use it on townies and NPC's; told you I need a vacation :D

Well, our Prime Ministers aren't quite the same as Presidents - we vote for a particular party, and we just get the leader the party chose as part of the deal
Zephyr, that's pretty much how it works here, as well. The major parties nominate a candidate and no one besides those two people has a chance to win. I have "protest" voted in the last couple of elections.
And speaking of Bush, I read a quote by Clarence Darrow recently that seems very fitting.
"When I was a boy, I was taught that anyone could become President. I am beginning to believe that is true." It's an embarassment that that buffoon is our "leader".

You'd think it would have been a case of once bitten twice shy! After all, his father wasn't exactly Brain of America! But I suppose, unless you have more than 50% of your voters with IQs above 100, you are going to get the lowest common denominator of President since there are more voters in that category!
The problem with out present administration is they seem to be mostly made up of lawyers, and they all want to rewrite the statute book to make more work for their lawyer friends! One example of this is that sevreal very effective lanti-terror laws were introduced during the IRA campaign, but now with the Al Qaida threat, we somehow seem to need a whole set of new ones! Presumably to provide employment for numerous lawyers in drafting them!
I don't think I care much any longer what the government does, as long as it doesn't affect me personally - and that's a terrible admission for me to make!

Well, that's just how politicians work. Like the saying goes, "If pro- is the opposite con-, what is the opposite of progress?"

That sounds essentially reasonable to me. It's not like you, personally, can affect the outcome. That's pretty much what I do. I cast my token vote for the third party candidate of my choice, and lose, thus reaffirming the futility of the system, then go back to my hermit-hole and wait for the Revolution, Armageddon, or what-have-you.

I know,, it's the only sensible thing to do, but I still feel cheated! It's the empty promises at election time that really get to me!
