What are you after, Ash? Trying to provoke TM to forget all restraint and get himself banned again? Why not stop now. It won't lead anywhere. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

Too many colours and too many patterns, yes. Look at the first picture, where the void has a majesty that is no longer noticeable in the second pic. If you want to blend void and passageway into one flowing, otherworldly experience, choose colours and patterns that add to the flow and do not break it. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

The Blades politics, well - maybe Kel should consider that every designer who does not get acid remarks from TM together with some approbation best seek a deep, deep mouse hole and bury himself. Because if TM is complacent and polite, what he thinks about your oeuvre is beyond anything he wishes to burden you with. Not everyone plays by your rules, Kel, and behaves in that orderly, balanced fashion you seem to prefer. Not everyone can. Passing judgement on what you don't understand is not always the wisest course. Alec is special to me in many ways, as he reminds me so much of myself when I was young. I'll miss him. I do not like the way this election is being held. If candidates shift votes to each other as they seem fit, the ordinary voter's voice is meaningless and his/her vote counts for nothing. We could as well not have voted at all and just let willing candidates decide between themselves. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

Drakey used to house Motekye's boulders on his site. They were very good, more irregular and natural. Where are they, Drakey? I like this stary void. Yes, a spiraling nebula would be great. Why not make one from scratch?

quote:I was refering to Iraq and articles as the one I'm citing: "Coordination among government and law enforcement agencies has led to the recovery in six countries of thousands of treasures stolen from the National Museum in Baghdad in the earliest days of the American occupation... War also has taken its toll on Iraq's ancient heritage. Since 2003, U.S. and Polish troops have used Babylon, once the capital of the ancient world, as a military depot and filled sandbags with earth and archaeological fragments from its historic sites. "This is tantamount to establishing a military camp around the Great Pyramid in Egypt or around Stonehenge in Britain," states a recent report by the British Museum... From September 2003 to June 2004, Mr. Russell worked in Iraq to secure the National Museum and other institutions as an adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority's cultural office. He and other scholars rely on the fragile ruins to understand the ancient societies that inhabited Iraq. When such irreplaceable evidence is destroyed or randomly hauled away, archaeologists are unable to piece together the history of civilization. Pillaging of ancient sites, therefore, has more dire consequences than the theft of artifacts from museums... "The loss of the objects is one thing," Mr. Gibson says, "but the destruction of the ancient context is a tragedy of far greater importance." "Some of the most important Sumerian sites are already so destroyed that they will probably never be excavated scientifically again," says Mr. Gibson, who toured some of the damaged sites in 2003. from: Robbing the cradle of civilization By Deborah K.

As a non-native english speaker I'm not quite sure, if I get what you mean. But should you have triggered the cavequake before you had all the triangles, you will either have to edit the Deepfile's code or use the editor to arrange SDFs. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

But Richard had to go into hiding when his games became so popular amongst the undead. On my latest trip to their capital I found the number of clubs dedicated to the various winning strategies of his games just plain astonishing. And they are dead serious too. To participate in their annual competition, members have to agree (in writing, may I add)to undergo a lengthy and tiring process of reshaping, should they lose. They are forced back into life again, and though this is seen by some as a welcome contribution to avoid overpopulation, nevertheless, it's quite a harsh punishment, don't you agree? Richard, unluckily, was not a winner, that's why you may still find him around somewhere, practising hard to develop his gameplay.

London's in chaos, because neither Underground nor buses are running, which is a wise precaution, just in case. Away from that, you've had blasts before. Not on this scale, but a lot of them, back in the eighties. From what I remember, your police was very efficient in dealing with this kind of threat. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

I googled for you, Thralni, and find that I'm wrong. It seems that Holst has written a sequel himself, though this is news to me, and I don't know if it was ever recorded. See here: Pluto Holst Otherwise Amazon.com has what you look for. And it's Moussorgsky. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

quote:Hey, but you know that Pluto was not written by Holst himself, but added later on by one of his pupils, I've forgotten the name? Pluto had not yet been discovered when Holst wrote his movements. He never felt comfortable with their growing popularity, and when people urged him to come up with a Pluto piece later on, did not wish to return to the Planets' project. Did you ever listen to the Pluto piece? :P [ Thursday, July 07, 2005 01:14: Message edited by: ef ] -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |
