You know what's even more fun? Grab a stormtrooper to choke in front of you and use him as a shield. Did it a couple of times in mulplayer CTF, blocked an enemy rocket with the shooter's teammate. See, it's things like this that differentiates JA multiplayer with Quake 3 Arena.

You're in the minority as far as "Being gay is okay" is concerned. No, Obistan should definitely NOT take a risk like this.

Aerie had the sweetest voice in all of RPG history. ENOUGH WITH YOR ANTI-AERIE OPPRESIVE IDEAS!!! I fell in sweet LOOOVE with Aerie's voice, so if you say anything bad about her voice, I'LL KILL YOU!!!... .... with spam PM's

Back on the BIS website Feargus' sister Jessica Urqhart was in charge of writing the news section. She had a distinct style of gratuitously using capital letters and exclaimation marks and words like "CHECK IT OUT!" "LOOT!" "SO GATHER Y'ALL THINGS..." good times

lay off the crack pipe popey.

Okay, it's quite obvious you don't understand the purpose of recursion, or haven't taken higher math yet so I'll try to explain this in colloquial as much as I can: I'm ONLY counting the people that completed it successfully. People who didn't or completed it partly ARE NOT factored into my recursion, nor should they. My recursion ONLY counts those who have successfully completed EVERYTHING. Please note the 5^n factor. Go to trillions and quintillions pretty quick huh? Like I said, I'm incrementing time in discrete stages to model the real flow of n, which is not only non-linear, but much too complex to model. Okay: you want a more realistic model with profits thrown in? Learn calculus and try to follow me here: P = people who sign up AND completes everything. M = the minimum amount of people who HAVE to buy in to this scheme to equalize the amount of profit made with the cost of giving N amount of people who completed it an ipod. N = the maximum amount of people who can receive an ipod in order for the company NOT to lose money. Let's write the simple differential equation: dp/dt = kP(1-P/N)(P/M-1) This is similar to the population model, except we're using N as maximum number of participants instead of carrying capacity, and the added (P/M-1) parameter to set a "floor". So, for argument's sake, let's say the company makes 100 dollars each time someone clicks one of the links. (Phosphor can probably give me a more accurate amount) Let's also say an ipod costs 300 dollars. So M/N = 1/3. Solving our differential equation, we get the result of P = (M*0.0429N)*k + C What does this mean? It means only to TOP 4% WILL GET AN IPOD to equalize the profits. Fuzzy math? I don't think so. Same results as my simpler model, this time with profits calculated in. Although I HIGHLY doubt the company gets as much as 100 dollars for every referal.

No. It's nothing like morrowind. THANK THE LORD. 1. You're faced with something to do ALL THE TIME, not spending more than half your damn time wandering around looking for the ancestral tomb of <stupid guy>. 2. You actually CARE about the character you play. 3. You actually CARE about every single NPC in the game, good guy or bad guy. 4. None of that pointless combat crap. 5. Dialogue consists of more than one word, like "background" "services" "Balmora" "Vivec".

You know what this site needs? Miss Jessica Urquart's awesomely hyper super duper too much caffeine at once front page news. The current www.obsidianent.com homepage is just a little too boring. We need somebody like Miss Urqhart to seriously overdose on caffeine and go wild with that keyboard! Yeah!

FAALLLLLLLLL OUT!

Yes, it would be cool to visit old massasi temples and maybe one or more of the sith ghosts can be redempted.

turn based as in fallout, silent storm, ToEE.

How much would KOTOR II have to be priced for you NOT to buy it? Let's consider piracy as NOT an option. Me? anything over 60 bucks I won't even think about.

Firstly, if someone didn't complete all 5 referrals, then the generation won't skip, n won't increase by 1. You have to understand my mathematical model first, as just that, a mathematical model. In the real world, there are millions of n's, all increasing at different rates. My model simplifies that by statistically totalling all those increases into manageable segments. Note in the original recursion formula there is the term 5^n, which counts ONLY THOSE who's fully completed all 5 referrals. Participants who only completed 3 or 4 ARE NOT EQUATED IN THE RECURSION. I could give you a more detailed mathematical model that results in the same conclusion but since you're too young to have had much exposure to binary recursion (or basic statistics for that matter... hell even basic math) I thought you might be able to understand this simplified model. My math is sound. It's designed to demonstrate ONE THING and ONE THING only: the chances of you being on top of the pyramid is zero to none. Oh, if you want to know, the distance from Earth to Jupiter is 365 million miles, that's 3.65e8 miles, which puts it in the same ballpark as the numbers I gave. My math is accurate. My math is correct. Everyone else who's posted on this thread is correct. It's a scam. You've been baited. If you or anyone here can prove my math wrong, I'll go back to kindergarten. Look kid, you're way too young about this sort of stuff. We're just trying to help you from doing something stupid.

... without half the sexual appeal.

Yes, and please don't forget to include the cd's in the box. Those are very important parts of my purchase.

your smilies are driving me nuts ARRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So MANY FREAKING SMILIES I went with single.

Well gee, let's do some math here. n is amount of iterations. For example, if you signed up first before anyone else, you'd be in the n=1 catagory. If someone told you about it, you're in the n = 2 catagory. If someone told someone else who told you about it, you're in the n = 3 catagory. The formula for this is t(n)=5^n + t(n-1) if n > 1 where t is a function of n. Now let's suppose only ONE guy signed up first (nobody told him about it, no referrals, he signed up the SECOND the site was opened). The real amount of this is probably somewhere in the hundreds, but for simplicities sake, we'll say 1. t(0) = 1. <--- zeroth generation signups. t(1) = 5. <--- He tells 5 people to sign up. t(2) = 30. <--- those 5 people tell 5 more people to sign up. t(3)=155 t(4)=780 t(5)=3,905 t(6)=19,530 t(7)=97,655 t(=488,280 t(9)=2,441,405 t(10)=12,207,030 t(11)=61,035,155 t(12)=305,175,780 t(13)=1,525,878,905 t(14)=7,629,394,530 Compare the ENTIRE POPULATION of the world with these numbers. Do you SERIOUSLY THINK they're going to give out all these ipods? If apple manufactures an ipod every second, it'll take them the entire length of human history to make that many ipods. If you were to layout all those ipods end to end, if each ipod were 5 inches long, you would reach Jupiter. These numbers are STILL underestimating the REAL values, since I'm only assuming ONE guy signs up initially, when in truth, it's probably 20 or 30 guys. Let's see what happens when it's 20 guys in the 0th generation. t(0) = 20 t(1) = 120 t(2) = 720 t(3) = 4320 ... With the speed information spreads on the internet today, do you REALLY think you'll fit in the first or second generation signups? Realistically, you'd be in generation 7 or 8, with 99.92% of other people that signed up. The company isn't going to give the world 6000000 odd free ipods. So I guess only the people in the top of the chain will get ipods. The first generation signups will, definitely. Second generation? Hmm, maybe... Third generation? Okay, top half will get ipods. The rest? YOU GET NOTHING. Hmm.... BY GODS I THINK WE'VE GOT IT FIGURED OUT! THIS SOUNDS LIKE A... PYRAMID SCHEME!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme OH MY GOD MITH, you're telling me people have been doing THIS THING FOR CENTURIES?! YES!!! IT'S THE OLDEST MARKETING SCAM IN THE BOOK! BUT MITH!!! What' s the harm? I give them a bogus email and FAKE INFORMATION! WRONG!!! YOU GIVE them your CREDIT CARD NUMBER which people can use to call up and GET your PERSONAL INFORMATION! BUT MITH!! THIS COMPANY IS LISTED in the BBB, and there's a service agreement/privacy contract involved! Sure, right now they're bound by law not to sell your info to third parties without your agreement. BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE companies you sign up for? SOME of them DON'T have the same agreement. SOME OF THEM aren't EVEN LEGITAMITE. BUT MITH!!! I'LL SIGN UP FOR ONLY THOSE companies that I KNOW are legit, LIKE EBAY!!! Okay, question, HOT SHOT, what happens when the ipod-scheme company goes bankrupt, or out of business? Think the owner will just happily DELETE all your PERSONAL info and WALK AWAY to SOME SLUM in California, or is the owner MUCH MORE likely to SELL that personal info for MILLIONS of dollars and live a happy rich life in Hawaii? Bottomline is: You get into this scam, you'll get burned, ONE WAY or ANOTHER.

you think it's hilarious now. But when the game comes out and you find yourself shooting green slime at pikachu zombies don't say I didn't tell you so.

guys, this is KOTOR, not jedi barbie dressup.

Feargus. Urqhart.

shh, he's stuck in a perpetual state of role-playing a half-orc.

wow, which apocalyptic hairy-footed mega-vicious heart-rending shotgun-wielding death monkey tore your funnybone out of your chest and pooped in the gaping wound?
