Your meaning is obscure. What I was saying is that Jeff will make something in the same vein as what I made, but much better, and I will play A5 with a constant sense of shame for having been so severely outdone. I don't know that it will impact anyone else in quite the same way. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

It sounds as though Jeff is trying to do the same thing that I was trying to do in Exodus. Now he'll put me to shame, and as I play A5, I'll have to keep reminding myself that this is his full-time job, and I just was working on evenings and weekends to make that scenario. -------------------- 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 Thursday, May 24 2007 19:46 Profile Homepage #15 I don't think he actually plays many Spidweb games, for sure. GF has exactly what he's talking about, so the obvious thing to say here is, "I wish A4 was more like the GF series in terms of accommodating different playing styles," but he didn't say that. Ergo, he probably hasn't played GF (or is just a troll). I've never found Avernum combat tedious. I only rarely find Blades combat tedious, either (NM comes to mind), though, so I may not be the best example here. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I think it will be very revealing. I don't see that as an unreasonable request or out of harmony with our current place in this discussion. The problem is that if someone presents an argument for evolution, you'll get distracted attacking it, and you'll conveniently forget to address the fact that your argument doesn't make any sense. This has been happening for twenty-five pages. Whenever you come across something you find difficult to answer, you change the subject. I'm not going to let the subject change here. quote: You think it has holes then let's talk about it. Yes, let's! Let me remind you what you have to answer. quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: I'm still waiting to hear why seeing design produce Stillness's kind of irreducible complexity today implies that it can only ever have occurred through design. Otherwise he has an argument that cats must be black because he has seen some black cats. In other words, I claim that the statement, "Irreducibly complex systems are a result of purposeful agency," has not been adequately shown to be true. I'll assume as true the statement, "Irreducibly complex systems that have been created within the past few decades under our verified observation have all been the result of purposeful agency," for the sake of discussion, but you have to get from the latter statement to the former somehow. How do you propose to do it?

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, May 23 2007 19:33 Profile Homepage #107 1) Let's say that I don't and see where that gets us. I claim that I can concede that point and your argument still doesn't work. (At this point, I've forgotten whatever I was thinking of, anyway.) 2) Who really gives a damn at this point whether your definition matches anyone else's? That's the point of you stating clearly what you're trying to say, with terms defined and premises explained fully: you don't have to match anyone else's definition, as long as you give one yourself and your definition works within your argument. 3) The reason that no one has is that it's irrelevant to whether your argument makes any sense or not. Right now, the only claim that I'm making (and I think the only claim that anyone else here other than you is making) is that what you're saying doesn't make any sense. In other words, I'll concede 1) and 2) for the purposes of continuing this discussion, and I claim that 3) is irrelevant, and I still want you to do what I asked in my last post (which is the same thing as what SoT is asking, so answer either one of us should probably be sufficient). -------------------- 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 Wednesday, May 23 2007 08:20 Profile Homepage #99 The problem, Stillness, is that the argument that you are now making is not the argument that you were making before. You keep changing your argument. Trying to pin down what you are saying is like nailing jello to the wall. Before you say that you've been saying points 1-10 since the beginning, note that you didn't say them when asked exactly what your premises were and exactly what your conclusions were from those premises. You presented a fundamentally different argument. You seem to have given up on answering the question as to what your premises and conclusions are, because the 1-10 that you presented does not by any stretch of the imagination give a argument that is sound in its formal logic. Let's not give up on logic, because it would reveal at least what your argument is, which to this point has been obscure. Can you use the premises you've presented, particularly 9) and 10), to present a logically valid argument that produces your subsidiary conclusion 1) above ("Irreducibly complex systems are a result of purposeful agency"), making clear what all your premises, assumptions, and conclusions are? -------------------- 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, May 19 2007 06:04 Profile Homepage #16 quote: Originally written by Spidweb: As long as I live and breathe and there are new generations of gamers who are discovering rpgs, I am going to update my games so that they run on comtemporary machines and have the flashiest everything I am capable, with my limited skills, of providing. And when I die, I'll make sure all the source code is released, so anyone who cares can do the same. I was under the impression that you'd basically accomplished this when you Carbonized stuff (and then, I think, Universalized it). What more do you need to do to keep the games accessible? If you're just going to update Avernum to be more flashy, I'm not sure that you have a good idea. As you know, your games are never going to be as flashy or graphically impressive as the big titles. Old-school is forever, though, and Avernum is old-school. People are going to want to play games that look and feel like Avernum until the end of time, extra flash or no. I'm all in favor of keeping games functional on modern computers, but that's not quite the same as doing a re-write as Avernum was of Exile. But then, I suppose you probably know what you're doing. quote: Oh, and I have exactly no plans for new Avernum games past 6 and Geneforge games past 5. It will be past time for something all new.
