Who are you? and What's your IQ? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 5 2005 20:33 Profile Homepage #186 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: I guess I wasn't clear enough when I tried to distinguish between hearing that as a platitude, and having it infect your instincts. No, I understood what you meant. My next paragraph in that post reflects that. quote: But that doesn't mean that it couldn't be learned faster and by more people, if colleges made deliberate efforts to teach it, instead of simply patting themselves on the back when people pick it up along the way. How do you propose to do this? It sounds fine in theory, but so do many things, some of which turn out pretty bad in practice.

The Setting in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 5 2005 16:18 Profile Homepage #2 The map of Valorim is the outdoors of Avernum 3/Exile 3. That's available at various A3/E3 sites. The three other continents have been named but not mapped, at least by Jeff. EDIT: To be slightly more useful than I was before, here's a maps site and the only reference we have to the other continents: "THE LANDS OF THE EMPIRE - The Empire, blessed power over us all, controls the four known continents. Aizo, the oldest, is the birthplace of the Empire, although the ruling seat is now on the continent of Pralgad. Vantanas is the smallest continent, but in many ways the richest, with its hot climate, fascinating fauna, and rich stores of gold and diamonds. And finally, there is the recently settled Valorim, which has a wild (though controlled) spirit." — a book in A3 [ Sunday, June 05, 2005 17:12: Message edited by: Kelandon ] -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I'm stuck in Geneforge Series
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 5 2005 12:45 Profile Homepage #4 I made it all the way through GF1 and GF2 as a Shaper with a pair of fyoras that I kept from the very beginning of each game. When they gain 30+ levels, they're actually pretty effective. I reabsorbed them and made a drayk, but it didn't do even half as much damage as they did. But then, my skills were allocated weirdly. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Who are you? and What's your IQ? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 5 2005 10:25 Profile Homepage #181 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: What exactly do you hate about philosophizing physics professors? Because what they come up with is usually pretty mundane. "It's easy to be wrong." Well, forgive me, but I didn't need to study physics to know that. What you realized from your physics education was something deeper than that — under what circumstances you can be sure and be wrong, or in what manner you have to be careful, or something — but turning that into a simple aphorism eliminates the complexity, and the complexity was the only thing that made the lesson worth learning! quote: Why would everyone tune out if someone tried to teach them explicitly the very things that everyone cites as the only practical benefits of their education? I think "everyone" is the problem in that sentence. People take different things out of their education. Telling people what to think instead of showing them the evidence that led you to your conclusion is a good way to get people to stop listening to you. Besides, a lot of students will care most about what affects their grades. First teach what you will test; then you can do whatever you want with the time left over. EDIT: That said, I've never heard of John Barrow, but Richard Feynman was pretty cool.

Who are you? and What's your IQ? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 5 2005 08:54 Profile Homepage #178 I'm going to college not to get a degree that will be directly useful, but to become educated. That's why my classes span such a wide range of non-pre-professional categories. In having that goal, I'm probably the exception (but maybe not alone), which is why college has worked so well for me so far. Physics professors in particular like to wax philosophical about their subjects. I've always hated it when they did. I think if you tried to teach "that things are often a lot simpler than they seem, but that there are also an awful lot of subtle ways of being simply wrong," most of your students would tune out, even if you demonstrated it with examples. I think the side-effects and by-products will come only if you teach the material, especially since everyone gets something different out of the education that he or she receives. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, June 4 2005 15:35 Profile Homepage #0 I can't get Frahhamn's slith graphics from the Louvre to show up in the outdoors. I've defined them in the custom objects script and they show up fine in town mode. I try to put them somewhere with Outdoor Preset Encounters and they're invisible. I change the encounter to a different kind of monster, and it shows up. I change it back to those sliths and the encounter vanishes. This leads me to believe it's these sliths in particular. I opened it up in the app and went past the spot where it was supposed to be, and it entered combat with the sliths properly, but nothing showed up in the outdoor section. Anyone have any idea what gives? Normally I solve these sorts of problems myself, but I don't feel like it this time. EDIT: I'm using the latest version of the 3D Editor, the latest version of BoA, and Mac OS 10.2.
