Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, December 17 2006 16:27 Profile Homepage #9 It also occurs to me that I am coming up on having as many posts as anyone did when I first joined. I think Alo was in the 6000's when I joined. I may be the most recent member to achieve that, given that other members with high post counts tend to be lower in member number than I am. I can't think of anybody off the top of my head with a higher member number and a higher post count than I have, but I may be forgetting someone. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Judging: Next Phase in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, December 17 2006 09:06 Profile Homepage #2 I'm in favor of 2 and 3. Seven scenarios in the finals is about right, regardless of the number of entries. Five would be on the small side, and if they really are pretty near to each other, it might be unfair to eliminate some that are on the brink. Here's the numbers of scenarios in the finals in previous contests: 3rd: 6 4th: 7 5th: 8 6th: 5 7th: 8 With this in mind, 7 seems pretty reasonable. Also, there's no reason we should be abiding by CSR ratings here. These scenarios really should score about the same on CSR, but that makes for crappy contest judging (and I realized this as I was sending in my scores).

Unreleased Beta? in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, December 16 2006 19:36 Profile Homepage #1 Word on that is that Seletine designed another scenario after NM that was no better, but he quit it during beta after realizing that it wouldn't be received very well. He hasn't been heard from since, so it presumably will never be released. But no, I've heard it's no better than NM. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Physics Background in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, December 16 2006 12:16 Profile Homepage #29 quote: Originally written by Est. Perpetuum: of the usual high school sciences chemistry gets the fewest lunatics. The lunatics in chemistry tend to be the chemists. :P Not only does everyone interact with medicine, but everyone also has a body, and therefore when people are told how bodies on average respond to certain things, they have immense anecdotal evidence (but often very little scientific evidence) to compare those assertions with. I like an analogy that (I think) Ash drew at one point: having a car doesn't make you as expert as a mechanic, and having a body doesn't make you as knowledgeable about them as a doctor (or medical researcher). -------------------- 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, December 16 2006 07:49 Profile Homepage #62 I told you why I was calling you out on this, so don't be surprised. Apparently you disliked that I kept posting in a thread, even as it was changing topics and even though my responses got shorter and farther between and moreover even though nothing I said was inappropriate at all, simply because it sounded as though no progress was being made? This sounds wacky and stupid, but I think you just confessed that. Okay. Whatever. As long as you realize and admit how groundless your assertions of my wrongdoing are, you can continue to believe in them, I suppose. :P -------------------- 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, December 16 2006 00:14 Profile Homepage #55 quote: Originally written by Garrison: This incident bothered me more than an online debate should have because it seemed very hostile to people with different views. But was the hostility coming from me personally? Again, you're painting with a very broad brush here. I'm singling you out on this because people do it all the time on these boards. TM used to pick fights with me, and when I responded something like, "I disagree," in no more vitriolic terms than that, I'd get people yelling at me to calm down and telling me that we were both hotheaded jerks. Whenever I get into any debate on this board and anyone on either side gets hostile, several people interpret that as me getting hostile, too, when I haven't actually said anything hostile. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Well, I try to avoid being viscerally repulsive when I can, but sometimes I fail. :P quote: In fact, can you even articulate his original argument after all that clutter? If we eliminate all the clutter, I think what remains is his argument that I paraphrased above, that traditional-style medical research has avoided looking into the methods of alternative medicine, a statement which is not really true. The fact that he never actually came out and made this statement is evidence of Thuryl's point. He had several related points of varying validity, too, which confused the whole mess.

I occasionally rant about people needing to read posts more closely. I try at least to practice what I preach. :P quote: I felt like you did something wrong, and yet I could not put my finger on it. Without that sentence, though, my comments toward you would not have been negative enough to express my "feelings." I honestly don't know what you think I did wrong. Again, I urge you to go back to that thread and re-read my posts in isolation. I don't like it when people accuse me of wrongdoing, and I like it less when I'm innocent. :P quote: Do you think I misunderstood the positions of anyone else in that thread? Probably, but I have a lot less personal stake in your representation of others' positions, so I haven't cared to investigate. quote: That quality tends to promote my perverted sociopathy unfortunately.

A conceptual intro to biology, physics, or astronomy is pretty easy. Legitimate mathematical physics is reasonably hard, and so is detailed bio.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, December 15 2006 11:46 Profile Homepage #12 I strongly dislike the idea of requiring more than one scenario. It's hard enough to get people to make a single scenario, much less two or three, and we want participants.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, December 15 2006 09:37 Profile Homepage #35 I didn't find Garrison's locked topic until just now, and there was one thing that he said that bugs me, so I'd like to reply to it here. If that turns out to be ill-advised, I apologize in advance. quote: I doubt you gave Synergy's arguments and beliefs enough honest consideration. I think you've fundamentally misunderstood my position (and those of pretty much everybody else arguing with him). You've committed an error which is common, and that's why I want to explain it. You've assumed that, since I argued with Synergy, I disagreed with everything that he said. People make this assumption often, but it not only isn't true, but also indefensible. I took issue with some parts of what he said, not all of it. You've tried to boil down the argument to "alternative medicine vs. pharmaceuticals," with me squarely on the side of pharmaceuticals. That's not an accurate depiction of my position at all. Synergy's main point seemed to be that there are alternatives that traditional medical research is neglecting. My problem with that statement is not that there are alternatives, but that traditional medical research is neglecting them. I don't think that traditional medical research is entirely neglecting behavioral, emotional, dietary, and environmental factors in disease, and I don't think that alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, have gone unstudied. I'm not against alternative medicine when it can be demonstrated to provide benefits. I'm against saying that scientists are against alternative medicine even when it can be demonstrated to provide benefits. I'm not sure how arguing this could in any reasonable way be construed as "not giving Synergy's arguments and beliefs enough honest consideration," unless you paint me with so broad a brush as to say that I was against everything that Synergy was saying and not just some of it, and that's just not accurate. If you really think this, I strongly urge you to go back to that thread and re-read only my posts (and not anyone else's). You'll see that this is the consistent theme.
