  1. The Celts are toast. Unless they form an alliance with Denmark, and there is no incentive for the Danes to want to: DANISH 1901 Spring: F Lon - Yor F Osl - NWG F Cop - NTH (BURGUNDY A Ams S DANISH F Cop - NTH) DANISH 1901 Fall: F NWG - Edi F NTH S NWG - Edi F Yor S NWG - Edi I would perhaps give the Celts an Ireland that they can expand into, with a SC on it, or perhaps
  2. Quick, we have to construct a horribly convoluted contraption based on an Archimedes' screw, a partially inflated sex doll and a large, friendly banana ...
  3. Traditionally, ethics are gained from our interaction with others, viz we learn them from our parental units. But it is not impossible to consider that ethics may be formed from a contemplation with the individual soley: the soul. Yes indeedy there are exceptions: psychopaths are a common one. Regardless (or perhaps because) of the ethics taught during the impressionable period of mental development, these (overwelmingly male) individuals instead eschew empathy for a more direct emotional feedback: power. Of course. All our experiences, and therefore all empirical knowledge, and all deductive and indictively reasoned knowledge based on this experience, is filtered through an individual's experiences ... just like a mind metaphor of the physical brain, where 100 billion neurons are connected via 100 trillion connections, some with upwards of 1000 dendrites (connections) each, creating links with tens of thousands of other axons (the electro-chemical bits that make the sparks). So in effect, one can only interpret the senses according to what has already been experienced.
  4. Jedi House Trailer
  5. Ah, the communiztz have been spying on us again ...
  6. See the ", you dolt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What does that mean? Do you engage in threateningly hostile out-of-game strategies whilst you play, or something? I was going to say: "Where the hell is Rome: Total War?" There is even a Total Realism mod for history buffs.
  7. Does Giligan's Island count? (It has an 80's drum machine pop-remix of the theme tune on the site ...)
  8. If a tree falls in a forest, does anybody hear? You are wrestling over the difference to an external and an internal frame of reference. Someone with a strong internal frame of reference does not concern themselves overly with the noteriety, infamy, group appreciation or their reputation in general; they just do what they think is "best" (where the definition of best encompasses their own peculiar wants and needs
  9. Sounds like you've fallen asleep in front of Sesame Street again, Steve, and left the definition of "co-operation" on loud!
  10. Maybe it's due to Atton's infamous alien STD... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I was going to suggest some sort of cream; definitely talk to an apothocary about it, though ...
  11. Yep, I thought that too. Another possiblity is the whole tomb was full of dark Jedi, who were camouflaged by the Dark Side of the Force in the tomb, so that to the Exile they appeared as figments of memory ...
  12. The search function is your friend: (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>)
  13. Djarik. (And what, exactly, does Bastila tell you how to do ...?)
  14. I get it; Robin's minstrels: there was much rejoicing! (Normally drop the final vowel
  15. ... To bring it down, of course. Or rule it. Whichever comes first. Or both.
  16. I would re-iterate rjuang, and say that it is probably sufficient that you understand how Assembler works and its relationship to C/C++; that alone will help you to craft better and more efficient C/C++ code, without delving into the guts of the CPU. Of course, if you are concentrating on one platform, then any Assembler used for oft-called subroutines is a big bonus. (C/C++ tends to leave telltale blocks of code, with the headers etc.) It's always going to be a cost/benefit trade-off, and the cost to write Assembler is not counterbalanced by the speed of the game for players past a certain point ...
  17. I am happy with my knowledge that I am the only reality, and the rest of you are merely noise in my universe.
  18. Cassius Clay won the heavyweight title in his thirties, after being the youngest to win it. He won it three times, AND beat the monster that was George Foreman in his prime ("Rope-a-Dope"): Mr Foreman won a heavyweight belt a couple of years ago (in his fifties). Mr Ali (as he wanted to be called after his conversion to Islam) had lost several years of his professional career due to the US politics, yet he still was able to win. I have watched a lot of the fights, and I will tell you now that, although I do think Rocky was pretty damn good, Ali was the greatest. Edit: Ok <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :cool:
  19. Yes. After all, who is best placed to make such judgements?
  20. Wow, that little guy is deadly! Did you see him kick and smash that wooden plank? I gots to get me an army of them ... We could submit tentative build instructions with the Fall move, just to be confirmed (like retreats), if you think that might be fairer / more interesting ( ). Also, are you going to publish a map with the new builds included?
  21. In the Adam Miller Dreamcatcher NwN community module series, you can actually have a same-sex relationship; further, you can also have a baby, which becomes a lynchpin for the follow-on Demon module.
  22. ... and which two are secretly related?
  23. Bigger stakes, like betting a party member for a shedload of credits, or the Ebon Hawk (to win it back). I never saw a key; how come the ship doesn't have a key?
