Well, I don't know about shrimps, but I hear that... ...the Mandalorians are recruiting!

I sure would but I think it's crowded enough already. And unfortunately the same reasons that prevented me from joining the Diplomacy game could screw this one up for me as well. I'll ask Ender about it, though.

How come I always miss the great threads? :'( A V:tM campaign setup thread and I'm not part of it? Preposterous!

Yeah, especially considering some of the "material" that has been posted.

Actually, I got a chuckle from that. But then again, I've been drinking so...

I admire you for wanting to give it all away, but all things considered, I think your wife may be right...

No, it's not really an intellectual debate. But it's not just semantics either. Don't dismiss what you don't understand.

Uh, no. That is not green. "Green" is a random interpretation our brain gives to that light. The idea itself of "green" is as random as is calling it green. While I agree with you that odds are that everyone perceives it the same way (due to genetic reasons, I guess), right now there is no way to know for sure.

Well, at least you're honest.

But what is "green"? Each person perceiving colours differently would go a long way toward explaining why different people find different colours more pleasant than others.

So, who's the fundamentalist here?

HAL was ordered to lie IIRC, and that is what caused its weird behaviour. It's also a wink to Asimov and his Robots series.

Um, no. I meant an add-on to Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. There was no substantial difference between those two.

No, the relations between colours and how they are established by our brain are probably not random, but this is more of a philosophical question and it's not what I meant. Basically, the interpretation of the brain is random, since the only relation between a colour and the wavelength it's produced by is in our brain. It's not a universal property of radiation and it's restricted to us. In fact, how can you assure that by "red" I think of the same perceived colour as you do? Most likely I do, but that probably has more to do with the fact that we share a common genome than to an inherent property of light. Yep, they are. You see them as different colours, which makes them colours by definition, regardless of the causes why you see them (that is, they don't have specific wavelengths assigned to them).

I don't have a clue what this means, but I think I understand the general thrust of your post. Fair enough. Since a photon is an energy "packet" released by an excited electron that returns to a lower state of energy, there can only be as many different packets as differences in energy there are between possible orbitals in a given element (an orbital is a region of space where the chance to find an electron is max). Since orbitals are specifically predicted and calculated by Schr

It's not such a good idea to be posting your e-mail like that.

And if indeed they resolve the issue by fully exploring it and making it the center of K3's story, they will have a ton of pissed fans that thought they were buying a SW game but instead got an obscure reference to some POS comics from the 80's that are best left forgotten. I wonder what's worse.

...riiiiiiiight...sorry it ain't Elmo: Lost in New York; damn those games wit' actual stories...DAMN THEM ALL!!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Now you know why you can't post an opinion which is not approved by our friend here at Thinkpol. But yeah, PST is overrated.

Ah, yes. The martyrs of the 21st century.

No, there is not an infinite number of colours. Since colours are the effect produced by photons possessing different wavelengths (those can't be infinite since electronic orbitals are quantized) when they impact on the retina, the number of possible colours could be calculated by the combinations of all possible different amounts of colours (i.e. linear combinations). However, there are upper and lower limits in this, not physical or mathematical, but biological (a light too intense will be "considered" white by our brain even though it might not be physically so, and a light too faint will tend towards black). That is why both black and white are colours, since a colour is nothing but a random interpretation given by our brain to different wavelengths of radiation.

Actually that would be Star Wars: Dark Forces 4: Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. But yes, that's just silly. Even more so considering that the game was more like an add-on that a true standalone game.

I no longer play. At some point I realized that the new editions were just crap and the cards from the older ones (up to Revised) were either being restricted, banned or reaching absurd prices. The VtM CCG is fun too, but I really don't want to get entangled with another CCG. It takes up too much of my time. I think there is a little problem of semantics here. You see, MtG is not offensive. Offensive is, for instance, being described as a sad, immature, attention-craving wanker that likes to bang his chest behind the safety provided by his 'net anonimity, while at the same time accusing others of things that he does/would like to do/did in the past, effectively being a hypocritic jerk. See, that's offensive, if only because, ironically, it's true (otherwise it would just be a provocation and a lie). "Yeehaa!"

That's a good idea. But I don't know if it would be fair for the other players to let your megalo... er... unification ideals run rampant by controlling two powers. " Yep, a very good idea alright...

Tell me about it. Anyway, when are you guys starting?

Funny. Does that include TOMBS?
