Looking at Battlefield Evolution.

[cordas]

workshops? i'm going to the sixth form at my school so i'll be going to the lessons. my school doesn't run workshops, but it does kick you out if you play truant a lot.

I teach in a 6th form college doing Btecs.

If you have workshops you must attend.
ANd it's not £30. It depends on how much the household earns. I will only be getting a tenner. If you attend all the classes and do well, you get bonuses.

 

[Valen is my name]

oh sorry. i was told by my school it was £30. suppose it must have been upto £30. it was hot and i'd just been playing football during lunch so i wasn't paying much attention.

 

[Paladin]

I just play it because it's a fun game. Not for the background, if I do start thinking about it, it's a VERY 'what if...'.

I could not agree more. While its good so see fluff and concept art for SST and ACTA etc.. and that makes it really enjoyable I just find it leaves me completely cold for BFevo. It anything I would take it away completely and let people add what they want.

Why not add it and let it be removed as needed? That method helps those less creative. Fluff should be strictly "non-canon". Simply for fun/flavor rather than fixed like rules.

Tut tut.

Play a real sport! :mrgreen:

Anyway, continue THAT discussion in the Other subjects area of the forum!

Yeah, I agree, I do this anyway.
I like the artwork that I have seen, on the tournament pack there was a picture of a battered up technical. I decided to follow this look. I spent the afternoon doing some scrathes on the technicals and now the red one has white doors.

At our college its a £100 per year bonus.

well it was on the school field with my mates so we couldn't play anything like rugby etc.

ANYWAY:

would there be that much fluff for evo. because its not as made up as ACtA? is there really that much to tell?

 

[cordas]

There is 8 years of history to tell...... there are the events that lead to a United Europe, and how it (especaily) the UK became estranged from the US, what happened to make the Middle East unit to form at least a semi cohesive force, and what put the Chinese on the war path.... Certainly enough there to make a fair amount of fluff about, as none of these things would be likely to happen from 1 single event.

 

[Valen is my name]

yeah i suppose that there is quite a lot. its just i'm used to the ACtA fluff which explains how the races developed over hundreds if not thousands of years. i hadn't really thought about how much had happened in battlefield evo.

I have hundreds of ideas tumbling about in my head.... when I get bored I might put them down on paper and see what people think

 

[Rob_A]

Plenty can happen in 8 years.

From what I am led to believe, many people think the next World War will be over water rights, not oil! Fresh drinking water is starting to get stretched in a lot of places, and 'global warming'/ 'rising sea levels' isn't going to help.....

Global Warming! :lol: :lol: :lol: PLEASE! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Aussie-Richard]

Did you not notice the ' ' bits? Besides, this IS fictional fluff!

I am an historian by inclination. I understand that we really only have anything like accurate temp. records for around the last 100 years. The world heats and cools. Animals and plants evolve and die. Deal with it.

Mind you, this is just my opinion, and opinions are like heads: Everyone has at least one, and some peoples are better than others!

Or another american lol poor ol souls all them natural disaster hitting their country and they still cant smell the coffee :shock:

 

[emperorpenguin]

but even the US government is slowly waking up and realising you cannot keep ignoring evidence for ever

 

[Pietia]

The "greens" can ignore evidence forever on the other hand. In 14th century both in England and in Poland there were great and known in the entire Europe grapes plantations - the grapes don't really want to grow either in England or in Poland, as despite the "warming" it is too cold for them in both places. The name of "Greenland" is not a big joke - when Vikings found this island the average temperature in northern hemishere was so high the island was a green paradise from their point of view. The climate changes even without human intervention - the great ice ages begun and ended long before humanity could have anything to do with them. Small changes in the activity of the sun may have greater impact on the climate than entire human civilisation.

There are many ecological and economical problems related to human activities - acid rains, rapid depletion of fossil fuels, destruction caused by regulation of rivers... They all however get ignored, as the greens concentrate on one thing humans are not really responsible for.

 

[cordas]

Hmmm Greenland was called greenland in an early attempt of spin to encourage people to migrate there. They did and they starved because they wheren't able to grow crops or rear the animals they where familar with.

The climate has constantly changed and will continue to change for "natural" reasons, but its also possible that we could be changing the climate in ways that are going to be bad for us....

What gets me is that most the "green" goals to slow down and maybe stop climate change are actually good ideas irrelevant of a changing climate, its just that they tend to be anti-capitalist..... use less oil and gas, recycle old stuff rather than buy new, use less packaging, such as make more efficient cars that burn less fuel and can be recycled to make new cars, when things break fix them rather than just bin them and buy new.

 

[The Old Soldier]

People are foolish if they think they can control the climate. The sun does that, and you can't control the sun. Global Warming is a farce. IT is a pure political ticket made to make money.

Now, if the greens would keep a level head and look to real problems that are created by mankind. Localized pollution. Now there is a goal worth investing time and effort in. Such as clean water, rivers and streams. Clean air and such. Things that are localized and caused by man.
