Ohoho no you don't. Don't go lumping the rest of us NFs in with that hug-the-world ENFJ pedagogy. -- Slarty the INFP, who counts himself an IP first and foremost, and finds Keirsey to be an exceedingly superficial treatment of MBT. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

You couldn't draw any patterns (or not any significant ones) based on situations where there are no pheromones?

I don't think I've ever had occasion to refuse a valentine before. However, I've also never been given one as a means to facilitate my murder, over the internet, by someone who may or may not be a 54- or 56-year-old asexual Korean transvestite businessman. No, Alorael, I won't be your valentine. (And nobody else's either, so don't ask. Slarty's living up the single life these days.) -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

I find that the quality of the output of IM communication depends a lot on who I'm talking to. I too have friends who I can have long, stimulating conversations with online, but not at all in person. But there are others who I have an instant connection with in person, but online, conversation quickly decays. I think it has to do with the conversational dynamics. Everyone has a different general style of conversation (proactivity vs. reactivity, speed, verbosity, depth of topic penetration) and moreover, we all alter these in subtle but non-random ways when touching on different topics. That's part of what makes some people easier to hold a long conversation with than others. But online, the ground rules are different, so conversational styles interact with each other in very different ways. One thing in particular I've noticed: my general approach to conversation is more reactive than proactive. With others who are similar, real life conversations tend to quickly degenerate if we don't have something specific we need to talk about. Online, the opposite is true. Not only does text sit there forever, daring you to respond to it, but it's easy to pursue several different lines of conversation simultaneously with the same person, which means both of us can bring up tangents to our heart's content. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Did somebody say Dungeon Master II? Whoa, two people? What a wonderful game. That gets my vote for art. When I first got that game, I spent several hours trying to figure out the spell to make a FUL bomb. I kept thinking I'd messed up one of the syllables, when in fact they'd simply taken the spell out. Talk about addictive. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Well, I agree with you that the topic is creepy and the over-friendliness is weird. Your second post however latches on to the quasi-gay part as "the bit that really worries me." Why did that bit worry you? Seems like it was just a spot to make a dumb gay joke at Thralni's expense. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

That picture is not Ed. Did anyone else think its URL sounded fishy? If you browse the directory of the image he linked to, you'll see that it's from a photo studio and there are many shots there of many different people. Furthermore, this particular picture ("15sm.jpg") was last modified May 20, 2004... when Ed would have been 12. Ed: You are the weakest link.

If the language is still ergative-absolutive, the important part about transitive verbs is not that they require an object, it's that they require a transitive subject (i.e., they use the absolutive, which is not going to get used with intransitive verbs). Are you still making it prodrop, or not? It appears that you are allowing pronouns to drop if they are ergative subjects, or absolutive subjects, but not ergative objects. I still think that makes little sense, for an ergative language, since it's basically dealing with pronouns as if they were nom-acc. Your writing is mostly simpler and clearer, which is good, but there are still some really bad typos (transitive vs intransitive are mixed up in 1 or 2 places). If I am reading your conjugation charts correctly, then it is impossible to tell the difference between 1st 2nd and 3rd person in any tense besides present tense. Right? Um... not good in combination with prodrop! Oh yeah. And is it STILL called Nephilian? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

On Jobs/Espers/Materia/etc -- I have mixed feelings about all those systems. Initially, they are cool, and are usually a lot of fun for a while. But, and this goes to the old Spidweb debate about open-ended character design vs character classes, the systems annoy me because they tend to erode differences between characters. This was especially true in FF6, where anyone could learn any spell, and few special abilities were better than spells. Last time I played it, I did it without ever equipping Espers, and the game was honestly a lot more fun. OTOH I like being forced to find the best way to use, say, a Bl.WIZ with limiting characteristics but also unique spells. *shrug* Personal preference I guess. There's a good FF3 patch out there, which you can use to emulate it in English. I don't remember who did the patch, but it's been out for at least five or six years now. FF3 is a really wonderful game. It plays a lot like FF4, but has class changing somewhat similar to FF5, and none of the annoying whiny characters that plague both 4 and 5. It introduces [I]so many[/I} FF mainstays: chocobos, espers, moogles, spells, most of the classes. And yeah, the whole Lunarian thing is hard to salvage. With the backstory, though, the crystals and the light/dark balance become much more important, which helps. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
