[quote name='CrazyMike' date='24 November 2009 - 09:16 AM' timestamp='1259046976' post='48310'] Rather then finding someone new to do that task, why not expand the forum moderators to include PLs. I trust the moderators to know whats right and wrong for the forum, and I would extend that trust that they would know whats offensive and whats not in PLs. Btw, I asked some of my friends who are practising alternative lifestyle about the post by DR and they are indifferent. They are curious though why is so many people finding it offensive, when they themselves find that it is not. They find that it is more offensive that the public at large have to keep jumping to their defence and trying to be politically correct as it is painting them to be a community who is narrow minded and sensitive. Their advice, if you are not practicing an alternative lifestyle, stop trying to defend their sensitivities. *wink* [/quote] i agree with that - homosexuals and other minorities, whether sexual, racial or otherwise would probably be better off and viewed better if the majorities stopped being such fags about what to call them [i]exempli gratia[/i] - in romania gypsies are considered by most people an annoyance, though even moreso since it became politically incorrect to call them "gypsies" (which carries a slight pejorative inflection, however has been used almost unanimously so far, including in all major works of literature) instead of the PC "rroma" (which is too close to "romanian" to be liked), and a surefire way of pissing off someone is to "correct" them on this (i.e. acting like a PC fag about it ) - and most gypsies actually are against that and prefer people calling them "gypsies" and refer to themselves as "gypsies" rather than "rroma" - only 1-2 gypsy politicians call themselves "rroma", everyone else is more like "yeah i'm a gypsy and proud of it" and i've even seen cases when _they_ get upset about someone calling them "rroma", which would only imply they should be sensitive about it and brings their ethnicity more to the spotlight. PS - please don't infer from the above that i have anything against gypsies - i may or may not have (i hate all minorities equally and majorities probably even moreso ), but that doesn't have anything to do with the above and is completely unrelated to the discussion.

The photo in which I appear has been digitally modified in photoshop or with the aid or other devilish tool! I do NOT have such belly!! Totenkopf, do me justice and put a nice regular photo! [/quote] ok, you asked for it [img]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/Sv7D6PhruMI/AAAAAAAAAiI/WTPJoZVJQGo/s800/DSC07426.JPG[/img] There - no belly PS - dst, I uploaded a 10meg zip file with 81 pictures to the gallery, but when it finished it just sent me back to the gallery with nothing in the album...is it because they need to be approved first, or some issue with the zip file (too big, too many pics etc.)? i don't want to upload 80 pics by hand, if it doesn't work with the zip i'll just share the link to picasa

[quote name='Assurancetourix' date='24 November 2009 - 12:45 PM' timestamp='1259059522' post='48318'] may I ask what kind of music was on? traditional "calush"? [/quote] it wasn't traditional, though it was quite funky by looks of it

actually, all of us are supposed to know this dance by law and perform it in public at least once a year, except for those like rhah who are phisically unable to...and yes it happens in the MD community as well, here's proof [img]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/Sv7D80N1FvI/AAAAAAAAAio/obo8gT-e04Y/s720/DSC07440.JPG[/img] Mur and me [img]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/Sv7D9C1SY2I/AAAAAAAAAis/w3STiehz4OM/s720/DSC07441.JPG[/img] The elusive No one and Mur [img]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_F7PZ_1Ghzm8/Sv7D7_XrQ-I/AAAAAAAAAig/uVfJxgVnVMg/s720/DSC07434.JPG[/img] again Mur and me, and you can notice Rhah in the background on the left (in red), really upset and pouting about not being able to dance PS - these are pictures from the second MD beer in Bucharest - watch that topic for the rest of them (to be honest i was waiting for any censorship requests and forgot to post them )

ZOMFG! This is too funny! I can't believe no one watches South Park around here! http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2009/11/05/south-park-redefines-the-f-word/

he asks "can you rub mine as well?" but seriously, he asks "would you rub your stomach if i asked you whether rubbing your stomach means yes?" - if the martian rubs his stomach then it means yes, if he does something else than that means yes and the rubbing the stomach means no ps - asking directly whether rubbing the stomach means yes would always yield a thorough rubbing, since if it means yes he does rub his stomach and if it means no he still rubs his stomach in reply to the question (same with asking whether it means no, since if it means no the martian would do the sign for yes and if it does mean yes the martian would do the sign for no)

everything's pretty cool and i can live with a white coffee mug but you should really add some designs that work on black t-shirts, white t-shirts look gay to me

'Ignore user' feature [/quote] maybe taking away his ability to send PM's for a while would be an appropriate sentence? kinda like a PM Silence spell in other news, looks like Aeoshattr is a Christina Aguilera fan

[quote name='Totenkopf' date='05 November 2009 - 02:35 AM' timestamp='1257381324' post='46655'] i acquired a few more in the meanwhile Element Principle = 30.77 Principle of Cyclicity = 17.01 Principle of Light = 101.75 Principle of Balance = 53.35 Principle of Syntropy = 21.6 [/quote] Now I have all 10, however as of moving to MP5, I've additionally selected Light, even though it doesn't show up as the fifth in my list, so my real principles should be: Principle of Imagination Darkness Principle Time Principle Principle of Enthropy Principle of Light and the new ones: Element Principle Principle of Cyclicity Principle of Balance Principle of Syntropy Transposition Principle

[quote name='dst' date='20 November 2009 - 06:49 PM' timestamp='1258735780' post='47969'] Has any of you attacked an mp2 when you got the error? Or the last fight was with an mp2? [/quote] nope, for me it happened when i had just logged in after being idle for a few hours

[quote name='Muratus del Mur' date='19 November 2009 - 09:46 PM' timestamp='1258659978' post='47902'] can you confirm is happening everytime the combat log is empty? [/quote] no, for me it happened just that one time, however it happens quite often that the button lights up like a new fighting is going on, and the last fight is repeated if i click it (and this happened to me up to 5-6 times in a row for the same fight)

[quote name='Liberty4life' date='18 November 2009 - 10:53 PM' timestamp='1258577636' post='47846'] now since ya got small sneak peek i ask ya to do for me few things and/or answer some questions at which historical point should game start from?[/quote] it depends a lot on whether it's single-player or mmo - but i'll go with the assumption it's a mmo - if it's mmo, it would be unfair to new players to start in the bronze age and go up against guys with nuclear weapons, sort of like mp3s going against mp5 in MD As such you need to either have a kind of separation as in MD, or have set time periods for each "round" with everyone starting off at zero, and possibly multiple servers running in parallel once the game gets off the ground and there's demand for it. an interesting idea would be to start off in an early period and have initially only a hunter/gatherer choice, from which multiple other paths or "job" posibilities might emerge as the society advances [quote]make a list of possible stats player should have that arent related to anything except mind and body (good example: physical strenght, stamina; bad example: attack, defense) make list of resources make list of possible jobs make list of possible feats/abilities make list of useful items that will be produced (just general names no variations please becoz players ingame will be able to make variations of items during production of them) have any other idea that could fit in? or want to add possible requirements for harvesting of each resource or uses for res, how to get better at some job, ideas of specific item production, how feats can affect each other, how stats can be used or something else is on your mind feel free to discuss [/quote] again, i would start off with a few stats, which may increase in complexity as the game advances - for example you could start with strength, social skills and intelligence - and let's say inteligence could further divide into creativity (which would lead to something like an artist job) and theory (which could lead to inventing theoretical concepts like maths and so on) and application (which would create actual devices out of the theoretical concepts), and maybe combinations of these would lead to diferrent paths. Social skills could include something like trade sense or negotiation which could help merchants, oratory/politics which would lead to political careers/leadership (and may influence relations with subjects) and social interaction which could help in various things such as finding mates, teaching etc. And strength would split maybe into actual physical strength, stamina, hunting prowess (which with intelligence could evolve into tactics, strategy etc.) feats and abilities should integrate into most of the jobs, being more effective for some and less effective for others - e.g. understanding maths would help mostly researchers but to some extent merchants and even gatherers at an early stage. resources required should differ and evolve as well as society advances, in the beginning they would need just water and food (maybe wild game from hunters and fruit from gatherers), but should evolve based on need, e.g. at some point they need more wood for fire then later stone for buildings and so on.

looks pretty cool, but i'm waiting before there's more than one item to order

1920x1200 or 1920x1080 (when watching the ol' plasma) on my home rig, 1366 by 768 on my laptop - but i'm travelling more than 26 weeks/year so probably i use the laptop more.

wow, a lot of my favourites have been covered here (Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Milan Kundera, Garcia Marquez, George Orwell, Dune series - right now i'm reading the prequels -, Ender series etc.) I'll add a few random must-reads from my latest reads: Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the shore, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle John Niven - Kill your friends Milan Kundera - Immortality Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea - The Illuminatus! Trilogy (and anything else by RAW) Alex Boese - Elephants on Acid SF: Peter F. Hamilton - Pandora's Star, Judas Unchained, The Void trilogy Dan Dobos - Abatia trilogy (Romanian, for Dune fans)

Hmm... better yet let me look around for it... We don't want any red buttons! And Akasha, don't worry about the flight. At least you dreamt that we went to the airport and I got the plane. Funny part is... I do not think my mom should expect me there [/quote] I told you we should've gone to the afterhours club and stayed up till 10 well i tried to, but lasted only till 6-7ish sooo, anyone up for another party tonight?
