It is what it is, but it would mean something different, if we are talking about language, interpretation and such, then surely that is the point? the colour would mean something different to you and a colour-blind person, because you would interpret the colour differently to each other?

[quote]And I would also, as I disagree that color is open for interpretation. Red will never be anything other than a light wave that falls within a narrow frequency band. The universe cares not what you see...it simply is what it is.[/quote] "Red" may be a light band, but that doesn't mean the red I picture if I was colour-blind would be the same red you see if you are not, that red would always be the same red for me, but it would be a different one to you. [quote]Perhaps you'd be willing to give a short explanation of how they are different? Not that I disagree - it's just something I'm unfamiliar with and would be interested to know. I have a feeling that your use of the words, "different physics" may be misleading in the context of the current debate[/quote] I do a little theatre tech work, playing with lights and such (is fun) so i might be able to say a little. Mixing colours on a palette will create a middle colour, mixing light will create more of a merge of the two colours, the light waves will sometimes coincide making the peaks and dips longer, changing the colour, or cancel, or ignore each other, light also bends around each other, but yeah i see it as a little misleading [quote]Language itself is an experience for one thing.[/quote] We are taught what words mean, if i am brought up believing that an elephant is actually called a horse, and you are talking to me about a horse, no matter how well you describe it in however much detail, i will still think it an elephant

[quote name='Yrthilian' timestamp='1291969212' post='75019']umm something similar to this was being done. The MDA newspaper was suppose to be that sort of email to help keeps players in the loop but it took so much work that they stopped doing it.[/quote] [quote name='phantasm' timestamp='1291984286' post='75039']As yrth said the MDNP was, I thought, a very valuable part of the MD community when it was active. I know I, and I'm sure many others, enjoyed getting the newspaper. The problem was that it wasn't posted on a regular time frame, and became hard to manage and fill. Others have tried to restart it as well and failed. Perhaps you should look into using the MDNP as an advertising tool and explore that avenue. I'm sure Inno and some of the archivists would be willing to lend a hand.[/quote] Crossed wires here I believe. Yrth (i would think) refers to the emails that The Archivists were sending out, with Newslog updates and such. Phant, you refer to the Golden Globe Gazette (again i think), which never got emailed out

server time should always be referred to

closed then

options being later on Sunday, or move it to sat then? How about 2200 on Sunday? Pample will be able to make it after the initial hour, and Awii will be able to make it for the first hour (so they're both theoretically happy) Other people I don't know how that suits? scrapping Monday idea, but it may as well stay in the post for now

I don't think it was noted anywhere that voting is now closed (few days ago now). Unless there are objections (and I get contact to actually confirm we can use it) the ceremony will take place at 2000 at Sage Keep, 20th December. (Just realised 19th is a Sunday, I'd probably be eating dinner when the ceremony was due to start). If you are nominated for an award, I expect you to be there in case you've won the award as we won't be telling people before the event if they have or not. If time scheduling means that you can only make it for some of the event (it'll probably go on 2ish hours in total) then please let either myself, Awiiya or dst know so that the order of awards can be changed accordingly. If you cannot make it at all, please either suggest another time/date or inform us of someone there in your stead to accept the award should you win. Thanks

As far as i recall (and it's been a while since i looked) MagicDuel does not run or own the company that does the pay-by-phone option, so it would not be up to them to add other countries, it would be up to the company that does run it (not that I know who that is) Are there no other options you're able to make use of? Or is the phone one most preferable for you?

whilst the other viewpoints are equally valid, i was thinking about it in reference to the psyche as well, and how one might do it specifically. Also whether people thought it was sensible or other such views

La multi ani - A new/Another year (very roughly) As another year comes to pass, I come to think, as you do, About the little things that make it last, About the many, and the few, I come to think about life, Death, and all beside, About the harmony, That we supposedly reside, And the discontent, the melancholy, The happy, and the sad, I think of bread baking, In the rising sun, Looking out to the hillocks, Waiting for it to come, Of the snow, Falling on my tongue, But don't eat the yellow stuff, Said the old man to the young, Another year passes, One more yet to come, I sit and put on my glasses, And wait whilst I hum. That wasn't actually meant to be poem-format originally, but meh. What I wanted to comment about was the thought of being broken down to be reformed into something new. The thought appeals to me, for a couple reasons, but wandered what people thought on the matter?

Short answer would be yes, considering there isn't a page up anywhere that I know of, think there was word of one being made though Depends if anyone has been keeping track though...actually no idea how they'd do that what with the minuses not being listed an all...shrug Finding out at the end of the month might be nice though

Not that it'd be particularly difficult to add, but you'd also need to add the tag of "Indoors" to certain locations, as it'd be a bit silly if you're inside say MDA building, and you can't move as fast because of the heavy snow... As for lots voting and few responses, I think it's at least partly because the idea is so unformed, the theory is nice, I like it, but there's no depth to it, give various ideas on how weather could affect the game play and maybe you'll get better responses.

[quote name='Blackwoodforest' timestamp='1291725347' post='74742'] Read carefully, he only wants REAL money! [/quote] of course he does...and everyone else selling crits these days... I was about to post along the same lines as ERO there before i saw BF's post, so if you could add into your initial post that you want money, it'd be clearer, also end date of auction?

wrong area, moved to New Ideas. You should know that by now aaront.

[quote name='Fyrd Argentus' timestamp='1291249993' post='74079'] The remaining dragon to kill - too much on the mind - is solved by making a list of all the things I want to remember to do tomorrow. With that "accomplished" I can sleep without worrying about things left undone today, and wake up with a sense of purpose. [/quote] Yeah, my doctor recommended that to me, they didn't seem to have much of a response when i replied that it wasn't "things" on my mind, it was random images, colours, or such which had no relevance to the next day or whatever

Imagining I'd never wake up would terrify me personally, I have insomnia as it is and that'd probably make it worse The idea of thanking for waking up is a nice one though. For thinking, I like to sit on steps, or failing that in really odd seating positions depending on what's around [quote name='Shadowseeker' timestamp='1291152413' post='73849'] Showers. To me hot really hot showers are like a reset button, almost better than coffee and who knows. [/quote] Same here, I love it when i don't have anything to get to and can just stay in the shower a little longer, to forget everything [quote name='Curiose' timestamp='1291153517' post='73854'] In that same lecture, he said that if you think of a specific time you want to wake up in the morning, all you have to do is repeat it before you go to bed and your brain is wired to wake up at that time. Personally, I have done this and it works from time to time. : 3 But it's always good to have an alarm clock just in case. [/quote]Have done this myself, didn't know it was a recognised method, just randomly started doing it one night and it worked, so long as it's 6/7 hours after I go to sleep, always works for me
