Member # 869	written Friday, October 21 2005 18:00 Profile Homepage #53 Rules like that aren't so much about morality or even creating an atmosphere conducive to learning as they are about projecting a certain public image. I went to a hoity-toity private school which, although officially associated with the Presbyterians, was effectively secular, and it had many of the same rules, only more so. Even piercings were banned -- not even earrings for girls were allowed (although in practice this rule was enforced only selectively). -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, October 21 2005 15:26 Profile Homepage #443 To put it more succinctly, engine is a game's form as distinct from its content. Every Blades of Avernum scenario, by necessity, uses the same engine -- if you change all of the towns, dialogue, terrain, monsters, items, and other changeable things from one scenario to another, the engine is all of the stuff that they still have in common. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

I've never been able to figure it out. Is it because H is considered such a non-sound that it doesn't mask the consonant? You'd never say "an happy guy," would you? It was once considered correct style to treat words starting with H as if they started with a vowel for purposes of the a/an distinction. This was presumably some kind of upperclass affectation. Yes, this means that at one point people would have said "an happy guy". Well, except that they probably didn't refer to people as "guys" back then. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

In common English usage, that's the only distinction. Anime is, well, animated. Manga is a particular artistic style. (In Japanese, the word "anime" is used to describe all animation, regardless of its artistic style or country of origin.) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

It's true that the manner of celebration of Christmas today results from the syncretisation of a bunch of pagan solstice festivals; this is a historical fact. However, Christians are of course entitled to hold a festival on any day of the year that they like, and use whatever excuse for it they like. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Just curious; are people still interested in new BOE style graphics? in Blades of Exile
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, October 20 2005 04:52 Profile Homepage #1 Very nice. There are still new BoE scenarios being made, so if you make graphics of that quality, there's a reasonable chance they'll be used. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I was quite certain that the disguised boy with eyeglasses has nothing to do with Thuryl. Now I'm not sure anymore. Er, if you're implying that I resemble the face of the image I used to lock topics, that's actually the face of cult leader Sun Myung Moon photoshopped onto a picture of a Sailor Moon cosplayer. It has no significance beyond being an awful, awful pun. You can see a larger version here. (Caution: not safe for fragile minds.) I'm still a little worried by the idea that you think I look like a distorted version of Sun Myung Moon, though.

What's In A Name? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, October 20 2005 03:08 Profile Homepage #20 Seraphim are often depicted as being made of fire. Fire is hot. Hot air rises. Therefore we may safely assume that seraphim are found at the tops of caves. Even the Pseudo-Dionysius said so, so it must be true! quote: Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, as quoted in Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica: First, the movement which is upwards and continuous. This signifies that they are borne inflexibly towards God. See? You can't argue with the Pseudo-Dionysius!

I just think its weird that my maths teacher goes through the topic about 5 times for the whole class, instead of putting the ones who have mastered the subject onto different things. The entire purpose of a classroom setting is to allow the teacher to teach the same material to a large number of students at the same time. Teaching different material to different students in the same class would defeat that purpose. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!
