Jeff Interview at IMG in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, May 18 2007 14:21 Profile Homepage #1 Huh. GF5 will be the last, and A6 will be the last, and then we get something new. I am a little worried at his statement to the effect that he'll revisit the original Avernum Trilogy after some point, though. We want new games, not revived zombie ones. And I'm sending this over to General, because it's more general than specific. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I don't think GR effects (warping space-time) will really help us travel large distances, because the amount of mass we'd need to make that happen would be, well, astronomical. But hey, the local part of the galaxy has enough neat stuff to keep us busy for a while. We could actually send a mission to Alpha Centauri someday. Heck, with SR effects on our side, we might be able to send a mission from Earth to Sirius someday. Not soon, but someday. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Pen and Paper Anyone? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, May 16 2007 08:29 Profile Homepage #23 As I recall, the creator of D&D originally made the rules somewhat vague so that people could figure out what they wanted to do for themselves most of the time. This didn't go over very well; most people wanted a defined ruleset from which they could then stray. I used to read P&P RPGs sometimes. I actually had a copy of the original D&D Expert rules (back when there was Basic, Expert, and Advanced, which I'm told is before I was born) and the original Keep on the Borderlands, and I read through them (but never played). I enjoyed reading Pendragon a lot. The game got me into reading lots of King Arthur stories. At one point, in middle school, we tried to put together a D&D campaign, but it only lasted about two or three sessions and then died, and that's been my only experience actually playing these things. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Regulation - Complexity sidebar in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, May 15 2007 10:24 Profile Homepage #90 Yeah. There's a pretty big difference between saying, "I believe that God created all life as-is," and saying, "I believe that the evidence shows that God created all life as-is." EDIT: But if we're being realistic here, I don't think that Stillness realizes just how different his latest 1) is from his previous 2). His current 1) is not one upon which we can all agree, and it requires justification in itself. His previous 2) was a premise that was considerably easier to accept (with perhaps some provisos). If he can get from his old 2) to his new 1) without serious problems, he'd be set, but I don't think he can.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, May 15 2007 04:40 Profile Homepage #39 I object. Mentula is certainly milder than "ass" or "crap," which are allowed by the auto-censor. Besides, in that poem, Catullus is using it as a name. It's as if we were referring to Richard Nixon as "Dick." -------------------- 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 Tuesday, May 15 2007 04:34 Profile Homepage #88 quote: Originally written by Stillness: If our discussion on logic is going to continue, my request is that you show me yours since I've shown mine. What would be your argument for common descent as the cause of all variety in life? Given that yours is so bad — as SoT has pointed out, 1) is the problem, since you're pretty near to assuming what you're trying to prove — you might want to keep working on your argument before saying that it has reached a definitive form, or else you run the risk of being demolished. quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Why do you think that anything you class as irreducibly complex can only have resulted from purposeful agency? He has answered this question, you know. His answer is that it has only been observed to happen this way. Of course, the obvious answer has already been given: the fastest way for it happen is this way, but we have every reason to believe that it can happen via evolution, too, given enough time (and here a few decades and a few thousand generations of fruit flies really won't cut it — we need drastic environmental changes and a few thousand years, together with a little bit of luck). We've asked for reasons why, in principle, incremental changes won't work, and he's given a sort of answer to that, too. His objection to incremental changes has been two-fold and rather poor: first, that the parts all need each other right now to function — but, the counter-argument goes, evolution was not so crude as to develop one part and then another, but to develop all of the parts together, at which he has flailed but never really responded — and second, that he has not seen any explanation of how it could happen that meets his satisfaction — which is an argument from ignorance, no more. I'm not sure that he has ever really given a good answer to the question, why can't all of the parts in these structures develop increasing complexity together? The normal model is not to grow one part and then another (first retina, then lens, then optic nerve) but to grow them all together (primitive nerve, then primitive lens, then more advanced lens, then more advanced nerve, something like that — though perhaps not that exact pathway). Why is this in principle problematic? EDIT: Cut out a bit because it's best not to get distracted here.

No, it isn't what you've said it is, because you still haven't articulated it! quote: Originally written by Stillness: quote: Your point 3) does not logically follow from your 2). Saying this is not a subjective judgement on my part; it is a simple fact. Consult any logician you like, and they will all agree. No need. I agree as well. Then you need another premise to get from 2) to 3). State it in your own words, then, but state it explicitly, so that we can know what you're thinking and not have to guess.
