Response to puzzlement
What does everyone on here mean that I've destroyed the game for them. Is it because you think I cant provide analysis on it because I havent played it? I dont understand this attribution. I evidently havent destroyed the game for you because of the exasperation of your replies and your continued comments on the game. Therefore, ironically, your love for this game has prompted your frenzied responses to saying that I've destroyed it for you. Thats the beauty of dialogism and intertextuality.
Secondly, in response to the interesting epistemic question of whether or not the nameless one has a name or just doesnt know it, I "believe" this is one of the hallmarks of poststructuralism in that this could represent again the evaporation of meaning. Whether or not he has a name or doesnt know it represents the slippery search for menaing and answers to both questions. Maybe there isnt a truth to why he is named as such but the name provides a platform to leap off into the pool of meaning. The name signals a search into why he is called the nameless one in the first place, and due to the game providing many contradictory meanings which can be read and interpreted in all different ways points to the idea that there isnt a final meaning.

Why are you all wanting to ban me? Is it because I'm a newcomer and you cant tolerate outsiders. Have you got so used to your little planescape clans that cant deal with someone saying something different for a change?
There has been no proper respectful reply to my posts, apart from the guy or girl that asked me a serious question a few posts back. I enjoy RPG's as well and havent been abusive or impacted on the banning regulations whatsoever. I only joined this site because of my interest in Planescape and to have good discussion with other members.

Play the game before you analyze it to look less like a troll.
Play the game before you analyze it to look a lot less like an uninformed idiot. I don't say that to be mean, I say it as a fact. You ARE uninformed. You ADMIT you have not played it. You ARE making unfounded comments because you have not played it. So you are getting intolerant replies, and I don't blame them. I too am intolerant of ignorance. Stop flaunting your ignorance.

Yep. We just can't deal with you and your force of personality and your speaking truth to power and whatnot.

Ok. I agree with you that should play it first. KingComrade, theres no need for that. I dont claim anything that you've just said.

Guys, Memento is nothing like that, have you even watched the damn movie?
Amnesia does not equal "wish to forget blah blah".
A more appropriate one that springs to mind is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but again it's not exactly the same...
