Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bah! If anything, it might turn you slightly necrophiliac.

Only slightly necrophiliac? Oh, if that's the case..

DX

I think it's a little of both.

rage, I salute you.

Also: Observe the discussion I just had with Darsh about his negative energy beings. Brace yourselves. It's a long one.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Since they're negative energy beings, you think energy of any sort would cancel them out.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: I would think that sunlight, for example, would have very lethal potential for them over prolonged exposure.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Since sunlight is essentially pure energy: heat and light.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: you would think any sort of energy*

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Basic mathematics.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Negative + Positive = closer to 0.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: nah, you're thinking shadows

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Uh-uh/

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Shadows are simply the absence of energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: I mean, sunlight.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: sunlight would affect shadow plane creatures

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: doesn't make a difference to neg

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: It's not as if sunlight counters shadows.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: But meh.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: We debate the SCIENCE too much, that messes everything up. >>

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: need pure positive energy or boltguns

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: boltguns anointed with holy bolt rounds.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: annointed*

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Positive energy . . .

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Protons . . .

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Which is what sunlight is made of.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: o_O

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: can't destroy what is destruction. >.>

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Not destroy . . . cancel out.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Not to mention, I would think that simply being on this plane would be unhealthy to them.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: plenty of life around to suck energy from

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Away from the portal, without a flow of negative energy to sustain them, they're essentially surrounded by positive energy on all sides.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Life is positive energy. As a matter of fact, it's practically the definition of positive energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: I would think they'd gain energy from eating negative stuff.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: You are what you eat.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: The fact that they're negative beings and sustain themselves on beings of positive energy . . . doesn't make too much sense.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: If they eat life, but there's no life around for them to eat in the negative plane . . . doesn't that mean they'd starve and go extinct?

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: that's assuming they have to eat all the time to live.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Well, let's not call it eating. Let's call it consumption or absorption.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: They need to feed on something in order to function. Something that gives them the energy to do stuff.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: No, they feed off energy because that's their nature.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: And they do need energy because they are negative energy beings. It's still energy, even if it's negative.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: In any case, simply by doing anything, they expend their energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Excuse me, expend their negative energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: This is subtracting from the whole.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: You keep subtracting from the whole, sooner or later, you don't have a whole left.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Which is why you counter it by adding more to the whole.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Now, since they're negative energy beings, that means consuming negative energy.

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: you're thinking too much

Mr. J // Ðarshendros says: I'm sending in Afro with the answer.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Therefore, it seems highly counterproductive to eat beings made of positive energy. It simply accelerates the subtraction from the whole.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: It's what I do. o_O

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Allow me to illustrate.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: -3 + (-3) = -6

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: More negative energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: -3 + 2 = -1

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: Less negative energy.

"Sometimes, dead is better," says: That's how I see it.
