But there still won't be an item on top — it'll just look like it. This would bother me more, as a player, than if there were nothing on top at all. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:This is how I've always pictured you. On another point, my scores on IQ tests have varied over something like a 50+ point margin. Since I don't think my intelligence changed more than three standard deviations over the course of a couple of years, I doubt that those tests accurately measured much about me. Overall intelligence is not well-defined in current science, especially since it's clear that "overall intelligence" doesn't exist anyway. IQ, while interesting from a historical standpoint and perhaps moderately useful in small children, is quickly becoming recognized as inadequate, replaced by theories of multiple intelligences (mathematical, verbal, visual/spacial, etc.). Especially given that "Intelligence Quotient" is defined as your mental age divided by your chronological age, matched up against an index, it should be relatively obvious that IQ is meaningless for anyone at the age of adolescence or older. So goes my standard IQ rant, anyway. And don't even get me started on the SAT, which is a far worse test. :P [ Wednesday, June 01, 2005 07:53: Message edited by: Thurylandon ] -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

That's strange — when the rules say "submit by June 1," I just assumed they meant by 12:00:01 a.m. PST on June 1st (which was nine and a half hours ago). I suppose they don't really specify. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Human speech can apparently avoid vowels. There are a few highly obscure languages without them, and more to the point, some languages (like proto-Indo-European) used some consonants like vowels. Apparently fricatives (like S), liquids (like L), and nasals (like M) could all take stress. That is to say that in the word "apple," which is pronounced AP-pl, a proto-Indo-European would've had no pronunciational qualms about pronouncing it ap-PL, or even dropping the inital A and pronouncing it PL. They had entire words without true vowels. EDIT: But they did have vowels also.

I read a bunch of the Aeneid for class last semester. My plan was to read Book 6 and maybe some of... uh... something from the second half this summer. And probably some Cicero. And for Greek, I'm probably going to try to read part of Plato's Apology. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

It's in the contest, in theory. I expect it to take last. But here's the thing. I've been looking at the scenario production out of the past year. Here's how it breaks down: There are eighteen scenarios on CSR. Four of those scenarios are by Jeff and obviously ineligible. APF and BS are by beta testers and therefore ineligible. I don't think DaC ever got submitted, because it's not on the tables and never has been. That leaves eleven scenarios. Jeff may not do what he did last time and consider a designer's work as a whole, because that would eliminate four more (LP, 9V, RoR, and EM), which means he wouldn't even be able to fill out a top ten. This is an interesting numbers game. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

I'm teaching SAT prep for The Princeton Review, which I do a little during the school year and substantially more in the summer. I'm also hoping that I'll get around to working on my Latin and Greek, but I haven't done much of anything yet. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

From what KernelKnowledge is saying, this is not hard to fix, and it can be done solely by changing the editor, but it's not going to get done for little while at least. Yes, it would not be hard to make a custom terrain that looked like one of the container terrains but is not a container. Import the original terrain and change its te_special_property to 0. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Sorry, I didn't follow that. Does editing the Contained/Not Contained thing change whether the item is contained or not? If there are specific situations when it doesn't, what are those situations?
