That we just don't understand what science really is? Or do you take a different view to the author? -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

Oh, you misunderstand me. I'm not saying that we aren't a serious problem for science. We absolutely are. I myself take a few hours out of my busy schedule of stoning homosexuals every week to do my bit to return us to the glorious Dark Ages. I was just curious about what he proposed to do about it. :) [ Sunday, March 20, 2005 16:37: Message edited by: Ash Lael ] -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Friday, March 18 2005 22:40 Profile Homepage #20 Scenario design is different to game design. I have designed more scenarios than Jeff. In general, people like my scenarios more than his. I know more about scenario design than Jeff does. I would be a better judge. Better yet would be a group of people all judging, with their scores averaged. (Sorry guys, I couldn't resist stirring him up a bit.) -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice.

Discusses the philosophy of science, history of creationism, and how to address the problem. Now, I know a creation/evolution debate is not going to get anyone anywhere, so I'm not trying to start one of those. That said, as part of the "problem", I'm genuinely curious about that last bit.

Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Friday, March 18 2005 16:58 Profile Homepage #16 quote: Originally written by DreamGuy: quote: Who judges the Spidweb scenario contest? Shouldn't it be the community rather than Jeff? LMFAO! Considering that it's Jeff paying for the prizes, he obviously gets to pick who wins. Not to mention the winner should be the scenario that best represents his game and how he thinks it shoud be shown to people out there in the real world. Leaving the voting up to the people who regularly bash his scenarios for stupid reasons would be the last thing Jeff should do. What? The winner should be the best scenario. And it's not like Jeff even cares how "his" game (which we have invested a lot more work into than he has) is portrayed in the "real world". And what the heck do you mean by "real world" anyway? And Jeff only ever judged the first BoE contest and this will be the last BoA contest he judges. He doesn't care who wins. He just does it to make it 'official'. Leaving the voting up to people who have put much more time into BoX than he has and who have played hundreds more scenarios is not a stupid thing to do, regardless of whether they like Diplomacy with the Dead or not. Also, you really can't talk when it comes to bashing scenarios for stupid reasons. :P In conclusion, you are a tool.

Geneforge 3 Questions in General
Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Thursday, March 17 2005 11:36 Profile Homepage #39 Prostitution is legal here in Australia, to varying degrees in different states. I'm right in the sex centre of Canberra, too. A brothel down the road from where I work burnt down not long ago. There are three porno shops within a 200 metre radius of the church I go to. I think we also have the largest adult store in the Southern Hemisphere in the same suburb. For the record, I'm strongly opposed to both prostitution and pornography. Edit: Thuryl, I was referring to Fringy's original statement. [ Thursday, March 17, 2005 11:40: Message edited by: Ash Lael ] -------------------- Sex is easier than love.

IDEA: The Pearl Contest in Blades of Exile
Ash Lael E Equals MC What!!!! Member # 5491	written Wednesday, March 16 2005 14:05 Profile Homepage #0 Concept: We give the designers a single concept or idea that they must incorporate into their scenario. They can create the rest around it, much like a pearl. E.g. A death is blamed on you. Now, depending on context, this allows for a great variety of adventures. Also, we get to see how different designers approach the same premise. In the above example, we do not specify who or what died, why, whether the player is in fact guilty, or even if anything actually died. One designer could make a scenario where a man disappears, and the player is accused of murdering him. You have to escape the authorities and find the man to prove your innocence. Another could make a scenario where you lead an expedition into unexplored territory with a number of companions. But when one of them dies the team begins to fracture apart as some of them blame you for the accident. As long as it's an integral part of the plot, anything goes. This contest is to be open to both BoA and BoE scenarios. Judging will be done by discussion. Scenarios will be evaluated according to their quality, and to a lesser extent, how original the approach to the basic premise is. Whatcha all think? -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash. Dammit, even JV had to think twice. Posts: 1861 \| Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00
