Statistically speaking people, people who mistake correlation with causality weigh more than those who don't, this means that the use of cum hoc ergo propter hoc leads to obesity. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

I can't remember where I saw this partcular technology. I do recall that it included a demo. The person was sort of shimmering, you could see them based on the ripples in their clothes and such, but they matched the color of whatever was behind them. Unfortunately, I can't remember any specifics. Sorry. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

Interestingly enough, the military is doing research on invisibility, but on a much more realistic, and less secretive level. They have worked on developing military fatigues which actually use fiber optics to project the image from behind the individual onto the front of the uniform and vice-versa. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

It has been discredited and recredited several times. Not sure whether it's in style this year or not.

Idea one can not work. This is a scientific fact. As for the second, I don't know your background with optics, so I can't judge it, but I'm innately skeptical of anything that claims to be simple. As for inventions of my own, I usually end up developing great ideas, only to find out they already exist (e.g. Braille computer displays). -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

I think that we get an exaggerated picture of melee fighting from Hollywood. It gives us the idea that if you swing a sword at someone, their limb/head/tentacle is sliced off. In reality, even trained executioners, who were trained at decapitating immobilised targets would take several blows to successfully remove a head. I've also taken issue with the ease with which swords are driven through sternums and protrude out the back. My guess is that blood loss and internal bleeding killed a lot more people than swords through the heart or decapitation. Obviously, I have no first hand experience with these things, but I have seen bones from stab woud victims, and very often, they only make small gashes into the bone (usually skulls in the cases I saw.) -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

quote:And what is wrong with that. In fact it might be the best thought that has crossed my mind all day. On a more serious note, I've always been interested in developing a more "realistic" fighting system for RPGs. I think it would be quite interesting to play an RPG where your skills decreased with your HP, and where your injuries don't just heal because you walk around, instead there would be risks of infection and so on. It might not be great for gameplay, but it would be neat to see. As for the current system, I see it more as a boxing game. All of the hits you recieve are minor blows, but they beat you up, until one just knocks you out/ kills you. It isn't necessarily an incredibly powerful blow tht does you in, it's just a cumulative thing, where one hit finally incapacitates you. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

There are 1,490,000 hits on google when I search for my name on google. I have never had the patience to dig past the first 30 pages. Curiosly enough, when my middle name is included, it yields a whopping 0 hits. My name also includes a sizable disambiguation page on Wikipedia. None of them are me. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

Your addresses are not necessarily safe. I found Aran's address, phone number and name online with no effort whatsoever. Of course, this is because he has his own website, but still, don't assume any info is safe from a truly determined person. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

I happen to like game music, I just think it would feel out of place in Avernum. Sweeping, dramatic musical scores would seem out of place with the simple tile based graphics. It might work, but I'm just not sure that its worth the effort or the capital. The ultimate question Jeff has to ask when making this decision is "Will adding X add addtional customers for my product?" I don't think it will. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

The Giant vs. Trog debate gets less loathing because it is shorter and more pertinent. After all, the Giants and Trogs were trying to wipe each other out. The correct answer of course is neither, since they were both erased from existence by my little band of adventurers in E3. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |

I hate to get back on subject, but my Alpha Centaurian friend would stop nagging me about it. He is apalled by the geocentricity of this poll, and cannot believe the arogance of its creator in assuming that only earthlings frequent this board. Just thought I'd pass the message along.
