Alistaire Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 So what do you real world people think of Anima culture and philosophy? Like? Dislike? Who cares? Do we see it in anything today? Any place where it might be useful or beneficial? I'm just curious... (And not a O-8 spy! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukan Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Anima, I am not familiar with this. And yes, I think everyone is gone for now.. EDIT IS AS FOLLOWS...Ignore me tonight! I have been working too stinking long for my own good. I understand what this is in reference to and feel like a dolt for replying.Luk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistaire Posted May 6, 2002 Author Share Posted May 6, 2002 Ok, now I know that there are people around. Doesn't anyone have an opinion on this? I personally think that Anima is a very cool thing that came out of Trinity. I like the idea of thinking in less divisive and exclusionary ways, breaking down boarders, etc. This may seem odd for an individualist, but why adhere so strongly to catagories? Too much linear thinking, I think. Luk: Well, I certainly hope knowing what I am talking about wouldn't have kept you from replying. I mean, really; I'm sure this isn't a hated or taboo topic or something... or did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlequin Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 sorry, i would have replied, but i don't know crap about anima as that trinity is my least favorite game of the aeonverse... it still rocks, but i prefer adventure... so, with no knowledge i have no opinion...

Alistaire Posted May 6, 2002 Author Share Posted May 6, 2002 Ok, maybe this will help. I'll throw the defintion of anima into the Glossary thread. Then you don't have to be a Trinity player to get it. I guess that I am a little Trinty oriented, because I've never played the other two. I am getting vaugely interested in Ab, but it will be a while before I can afford to get any books, which is ok because I don't know if I will want to play it anyhow. :huh2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I've always thought that anima was one of the great parts of Trinity. (If one incorporates it, that it.) It shows especially when you have computer agents and other things that "talk" to you, and people regularly say their pleases and thank yous.Then again, I tend towards that line of thought anyway.

Alistaire Posted May 6, 2002 Author Share Posted May 6, 2002 Here is a quote from the main rule-book that I did not want to include with the def. It is from Alex Cassel, CEO and Proxy of Orgotek."Anima is about the melting of boarders and classifications. I think it's a fantastic idea that all the rigid assumptions of the last few centuries -- things like countries, federal governments, the relationship between human beings and our tools -- are really more pliable than people think. If biotech can melt a few distinctions, great!" (p. 59, hardcover)Like I said, I can already see some of that today, even though we don't have biotech. Some people do beleive in some sort of "supernatural" things, whether from a scientific viewpoint, or a spiritual one. Do you see this too? Will it continue, or is it just a fad followed by people losing faith in the progress of our culture? (Of course I am mostly speaking of western culture here, reminding myself that I'm on the global 'net here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorHFrost KSC Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 rigid assumptions as a whole are gradually diminishing yeah, and i hope it does continue, the less people assume they know the more willing they are to learn and the easier it is to communicate across the board. i see anima as a cultural revolution that would a a lot of people good, and is more about hope and understanding than anything else, and we could all use more of that.jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
