"The End of Blades" Discussion in Blades of Avernum
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Saturday, February 18 2006 22:56 Profile Homepage #50 quote: Also, who ought to ask him, and how? Some have suggested that I ought to do it, but I'm not sure. I hope you said that because you are not an arrogant bastard. I think you or TM would be the best, as the scenario's of you two or found the best by, well, everybody. I think you two are both representatives of the blades scenario design community. Who of you two is eventually going to ask Jeff, you may fight about yourself. However, I don't want to spoil the fun, but I'd rather see that first until eight place gets a free game, instead of first, second and third a cash prize, and four and five a free game. That will mean $200 value of prizes. I think he'd rather have that (at least I would). -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Saturday, February 18 2006 07:56 Profile Homepage #210 I have the feeling this will become such a discussion as we had about the genitive. That worries me, to be honest. Now what exactly is it you want! Do you ask for a differenc ein terms of pronunciation (what I have tried to give for the last two days), or do you mean a difference in terms of meaning? Lets try to make that clear first. And I really don't see what the problem is. If I could just speak to you, the problem would be solved in minutes, but then again, this is a forum. Speaking to the computer doesn't have any use. recording can't be done too, as I don't have a place to upload it. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

"The End of Blades" Discussion in Blades of Avernum
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 23:21 Profile Homepage #39 I actually agree with what TM just wrote there, specifically point 2. People won't just design because people tell them too, or because BoA is "dying." People start designing, in my opinion, for several reasons: 1) They want to do something new. that is why I started. 2) they have some great ideas, of which they can only find BoA as a good way to make that idea reality. 3) Some people started designing as they wanted to learn about coding, or even just designing by itself. Now, In my opinion, most people don't start designing for these reasons: 1) they think it is to difficult for them to grasp. Hey! if I understand how to make a complete factory with working machines, then why not you? To solve this problem there must be made more utilities, and probably also more usefull articles, that relate to BoA. most articles, though not strange, relate to BoE. 2) Some people have an idea, but don't know how to make a scenario from it, and some people have no idea at all. With the chat currently running, this problem is being resolved. 3) the last rpoblem is that some people just don't want to. others are doing the work, so why bother? there is no real solution for this, but to persuade this people to start designing, which most probably won't work. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Physics, and a dumb teacher in General
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 23:12 Profile Homepage #2 Ahem. No. Not quite if you already have difficulty understanding what the book is trying to explain to you. People tend to think, that the books should be filled with colors and pictures, but as less information as possible. The result is things like "The 1/2 was put there because that is clever," without saying what the "1/2" is actually there for, or what excalty it changes. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Physics, and a dumb teacher in General
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 23:07 Profile Homepage #0 So I have this teacher, who answers to my question "will you explain me why the following formula is like that, and not otherwise?" like this: "You only have to know how yo use not, not why it is like that." So now I ask you, if you can please explain me why the formula "E(kin) = 1/2mv^2" is like that? I just don't get the "1/2" and "^2" part. Oh, and before I forget, this is the formula for kenetic energy. I hope i spelt it correctly. My book only says "because it is clever." -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 23:01 Profile Homepage #204 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: It would help if you explained what the actual difference is. I have some guesses as to what you mean, but I can sit here guessing phonetic terms all day and we'll get nowhere. What do you hear as the difference between the normal R, the RA, and the RE? Okay, the RA in RAd is exactly the RA sound I mean. for RE, leave out the A and place there a E instead. Now ponounce it the same way as you did with RAd, but now say REd. For a simple R leave out the vowel, and just use an uvular trill. It's not so hard, it just takes a long time before we finnaly understand each other. quote: Thralni, try as I may, I don't quite get the difference between 'Ramstein' and 'Recht'. People with very throaty voices, who place the vowels almost in their throats instead of their mouths may have to adapt a bit, is that what you mean? Ef, when you pronounce the RE and RA in those two words, you hear no difference? That is strange, actually. Either you don't pronounce it as a German would pronounce it, or you try but it doesn't work out. I do hear a difference, and I hear it quite well. quote: First you said that the Rs were different. Now you seem to be saying they're the same and that it's just the vowels that follow them that are different. Which is it? The R is the same, but the vowel that follows the R makes the sound lightly different. One may say now that it's actually the same letter, but it changes when a different vowel is after it. No. that is nonsense, for several reasons, which I'll only state if somebody asks for it. I don't have the time at the moment to start explaining that too. I have a scenario to finish, too. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 07:33 Profile Homepage #31 I fiannly finished ALL towns in my scenario. coding of dialogue for two and a half town is left, plus coding of specials in about five towns. however, most of these things will be easily and hopefully quickly done. I also drew an extremely ugly map of the outdoor section of my scenario. one can look at it on my website. Just look at the most recent "news" addition (2 - 17 - 2006), and click on the "here" link.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 07:30 Profile Homepage #198 except for the fact that a R is put at different places than the Ra and RE, the RA and E are simply pronounced in a slightly different way. While the R is just an uvular trill, the RA is pronounced as in the RA of Ramstein. the RE is pronounced as the RE in (the German) Recht. It makes a difference if you say miRArim, or miRErim. mirarim is a verb, mirerim is just a horrible pronunciation mistake. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Friday, February 17 2006 05:15 Profile Homepage #196 It is the uvular trill. By the way, with what program am I supposed to open a ".ogg" file? it wasn't necessary, I just read the description, but still. Now before you are gonna say that the three pronounciations of the letter R are actually all the same (R, RE and RA, they are all uvular trills), I would like to say that this is not the case. their is a clear difference, a difference that can chnage the entire word when the wrong letter is used, between these three forms of the letter R. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.
