Nope - you've taken the word science in a very narrow context. A common mistake.
[/ QUOTE ]
Really? I've taken my definition on the basis of personal experience, and every dictionary/encyclopaedia entry I've ever seen.
What's your definition, and what supporting references are available?
[/ QUOTE ]
Your personal experience? I didn't realise that a scientist was defined as someone who sits around all day with their thumb up their bottom.
Every dictionary/encyclopaedia entry that you have read eh? Now lets see. That would be none then. I'll tell you this. You have never, ever opened a dictionary/encyclopaedia and looked up the word science. NEVER. And if you say you have then you are a liar. I KNOW YOU!
Now you ask me my definition? Let me ask you this. Does God know geomitry or can he do quadratic equations?

If that's the best response you can come up with, I think I'll count this one as a win for me. 
Well, my bowel movements happen for wholly scientific reasons, but still I wouldn't actually call bowelmoviology "science". 
However, this is not the first thread SweetChilliKiddy has derailed by twisting the meaning of words and statements for his futile attacks on Shannon. This child is just too arrogant and naive to realize that what he believes to be a flamethrower is merely a BIC lighter... with no gas on top of that.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Oh look! Fantastic! Her sycophant has arrived!

If it can be studied then its a science. So can people stop asking for things to be a science and just study it. Then it will be a science.
Go look at the guides section where they have all the numbers.
[/ QUOTE ]
Would studying a guide count as science?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. After all we study other forms of science from text books and journals don't we?

You would however if you were having problems with your bowel movements yeah?
You'd want some one who had studied the science behind it and would be able to sought you out yeah?

Uuuhm, regarding your first question I did not quite get what I "would" if I were having problems. Call my bowel movements science? No way.
And regarding the second question: If I had problems with my bowel movements I would want someone who has studied the science behind it to help me. However, I wouldn't necessarily want him to have studied my bowel movements as they are no science. They are just a load of [censored].
Please, don't make the same silly mistake as SweetKiddy and confuse science with laws of nature. Although they are often used synonymously they are not the same.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Simply put, aren't the laws of Science what we human beings use to attempt to interpret the laws of Nature?

Yes, I would say that's a pretty good explanation. So, saying both are the same would probably overestimate human abilities quite a bit.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Whether PVP (or any other aspect of the game) is a science or not depends on how we define science.
I shall now do this, using only 100% pure fact.
First we find the cleverest person we can. Everyone knows that the cleverest person who has ever existed is the darts commentator Sid Waddell, so we shall use him.
Next, we shall see what Sid has to say on the matter of what is and what is not science. To do this we shall look at the popular 1980s Children's BBC programme, Jossys Giants, which was penned by Mr Waddell.
Now, the most important part of any broadcast is the theme tune. From the dulcet tones of Barwick Green introducing the Archers omnibus on a Sunday morning, to the anarchic sounds created by Johnny Hawksworth to alert children everywhere that an episode of Roobarb was beginning, this is a truth universally acknowledged.
Having established this, let us take a look at the words of the theme of Jossys Giants.

There we go. Football, a game, is just a branch of science. Sid Waddell says so. From this we can extrapolate that the game CoX, and all parts thereof, including PvP, are actually science.

The main areas of science are the ones everyone studies in school. There are loads of specialised areas however. Science is latin for knowledge afaik.
Funniest. Post. In ages.

Hmmmm, you know... that's really quite convincing.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

I am Standoff, and I endorse this argument.

So the phrase, "If its red, its dead", has never entered your minds in a PvP zone?

Remind me to always play in PvP zones anonymously...
Edit: In the meantime, I'm pretty sure that thread entropy has overrun this thread. Science, bowel movements and the odd personal attack don't really pertain to the discussion of PvP in RV and the difference between those who visit the zone for PvP vs non-PvP purposes.
Look - we all know I am the best person here. I am the closest thing you kids have to God. All definitions are subject to what I say they are.
Now on your knees and beg forgiveness!
@Sweet Chilli
A smiley representing Gareth Hunt shaking a fistful of coffee beans in an 80s Nescafe advert would be particularly appropriate here I feel.

Or a tranquilizer gun... whatever is first at hand.

So if I study the guides, could I become a scientist?
Would that get me a job at Portal corp, or would the Thorns try and possess me?

Love it.
Great post Blaps lol
Simple fact of the matter is if you enter a pvp zone, like the contacts will tell you, prepare to be attacked. It is completely irrelevant whether or not you are there for farming, badge hunting etc. How or why other players decide to attack you is also irrelevant, it is their perogative.
You may not agree with it, it may seem 'dishonourable' (lmao@honour - especially with the hero/villain ethos), but that is YOUR issue, not that of the person/people attacking you.
And let me set something straight, I don't think I know any pvpers who give two hoots about reputation. I only go into pvp zones to kill as much of the enemy as possible, as many times as i can. And if someone is daft enough to whinge about it on open broadcast, they may as well paint a big red target above their head.
As for the whole 'science' argument, as a practising science teacher, i find the whole matter quite interesting. I believe to a greater extent, Chilli is mostly correct.
Even if you find it very difficult to currently link a topic to science, this does not mean that it can not be so in the future. From a theoretical perspective, everything we know now came about as a direct result of the 'big bang', so thought, time, religion, animal, vegtable and mineral are all inextricably linked at some juncture.
Do you think we may be able to study PvP at college in a few years?
