I need to improve my plot... in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, May 13 2006 19:44 Profile Homepage #11 Pyrulen: Making a small, not-very-good scenario has its merits in itself. I wouldn't worry too much about the details the first time around; finish something, and for your second scenario make something you care about. Finish something. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

HLPM - James's dialogue gone.. in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, May 13 2006 19:26 Profile Homepage #7 We can dream.... The new version of the HLPM, available here, should be fixed (hopefully — I didn't test it). I also updated the Library to include PG and MoC, so, if anyone feels inclined to proofread, any objections or qualifications are welcome.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, May 13 2006 09:25 Profile Homepage #64 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: So if we talk about the plumber shortage as a noteworthy problem, I presume that the question is whether this is going to be a grave and intractable crisis. I thought we were talking about what the best thing to do about it was. Letting it become a serious issue, cause a depression, and then fix itself over the course of a couple decades, all in the name of capitalist non-intervention, seems astonishingly stupid. If it's going to become a problem, it seems obvious that the best thing to do is to try to prevent it. I'm not saying that I know exactly what to do, but I'm saying that "The market will correct itself" is too often a cop-out. EDIT: The problem is the "in a couple of years" part. The market corrects itself eventually, but how long does it take, and what damage is done in the meantime? That's hard to predict.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, May 13 2006 06:25 Profile Homepage #62 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: It seems obvious why it should work, and there seems to be ample evidence that in fact it does (for instance, the mere fact that the first world economies have changed so radically in the past century, without grinding to a complete halt). Were First World economies pure laissez faire free-market economies without any government intervention throughout the twentieth century? Think about that one for a second. Free market economics, at best, tends to rely on the assumption that people all act in their own best interests all the time, and that's already not happening. Many people who could be getting reasonably well-paying jobs in the trades are already not doing so and ending up with lower-paying jobs (or unemployment) because they've tried to go to some kind of college and failed, instead of going to a vocational school. Skilled tradesmen are already paid pretty well. (The people who aren't are the people who work in fast food or in any way handle a register or do agriculture labor or whatever, which is a separate issue.) If the price for skilled tradesmen goes up significantly, I'm not sure that our economy can absorb the transition without going into some kind of depression (which is something that laissez faire economies tended to do all the time, cf. the Panics of Every Twenty Years in the 19th c.). Anyway, I'm skeptical of market self-correction in general because, well, if the market really self-corrected most things quickly enough without serious side-effects, we wouldn't have any economic problems to address, would we? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I can't find any evidence of such a thing as "Vacclan," although Verboort, OR, does exist (it's just west of Portland). The place has just a Dutch name, though. And the town is best known (on Google) for a sausage festival. Take that as you will.

The point is that the BoE ratings are supposed to work like movie ratings. I'm fairly certain that people basically note "R" or "not R." If your scenario has blood and guts (so to speak), it's R.

English has such frustrating orthography because we've preserved spellings even as pronunciation has changed drastically. Modern Greek has done exactly the same thing, so its orthography is equally bad.

It will never be that a large country starts to fall apart for sheer lack of technicians. Well, eh. The wait times for plumbing work and building repair and such will get longer. If buildings or sewer systems or whatever go for long enough with damage that hasn't been fixed, problems aplenty could be had. It is a significant economic problem, although probably not the most significant economic problem out there. And I'm always skeptical of the idea that the market will self-correct anything.

The Modern Greek gamma represents a sound that English does not have, and it doesn't sound anything like the standard English W. (The former is a voiced velar fricative, the latter a voiced labiovelar approximant. They have less in common than an American English R and an English Z.)

Here, making sure all kids finish high school and do as well as they can, given the school system, will just guarantee basic literacy. Interestingly enough, you're half-wrong. America is on the verge of having the same problem. The people who don't finish high school also don't go to vocational school; they tend to work minimum-wage jobs or be unemployed or do something generally worse than work in the trades. We're very near a massive shortage of trained electricians and plumbers and carpenters and the like, although few people talk about it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The only reason that the enormous Macedonian Empire didn't hold together under Alexander was that he died without an heir.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, May 8 2006 21:59 Profile Homepage #85 I suppose, to answer my own question, that the traditional explanation is that everyone thought that this was going to be trench warfare, like WWI. The French didn't have any concept of how blitzkrieg worked, so they were settling in to defend their lines along the German border. I've only read this explanation in middle school-level history books, though, so I have doubts about how well it bears up to scrutiny. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
