Reveilled

I suppose would be :reveilled:, since I seem to be the only one that ever uses it.

Even if you're not using it, I did a colour version of Migraine.

Bit of a bold statement right there, since there is a helluva lot more FPS's on PC than consoles i think, but its your opinion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, and they all suck. :darque: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> from the looks of the "other" thread, you are largely outnumbered in your opinion. I agree Goldeneye is one of the best console shooters but i think games like CoD and Unreal are much better. :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but that's cause people who disagree with me are wrong. :volourn:

Luckily, there is one instumet designed specifically for taking pictrues of small objects on extraterrestial bodies: NASA's camera. :D We have plenty of pictures of the flag with that instrument. "

On the Earth-facing side. As Alan said, the atmoshpere creates a problem for Earth-bound telescopes, and the telescopes in space are designed to look at distant huge objects, not small close ones. And even if the telescopes in space could look at the moon and see the flag, since the images would have to be transmitted electronically to Earth, if you believe that US Government is capable of a successfully covered-up conspiracy larger than Watergate or Iran-Contra, then you should certainly be able to believe that the US Government could intercept and edit the images anyway.

Sadly, no. Telescopes manufactured today are either too weak to pick it up, or are so strong it would be too out of focus to see. Hubble, for instance would not be able to spot it, because it is too close. Besides, the government could easily rig up a telescope they claimed would show it by removing the lenses and placing a small sprojecter inside that was linked to a supercomputer that created a realistic simulated image that depicted the moon with a flag on it when in fact there was no flag there at all. ...No, really.

Okay, if you really want turn length shortened, we'll do a week a year, as it's really the only change of schedule that fits me. Thus, from Monday, Spring turns will be Tuesday-Friday, Fall turns Friday-Monday, and Winter turns Monday-Tuesday. Three days for Spring and Fall, and just one for Winter, and one year a week. Everyone satisfied?

Saturday's only three days away. If the OBS-1 players were all to sign up, Archie might be willing to set the deadline for new players at saturday (new players would just replace the most recently signed up OBS-1 player), and then the empty spots are automatically filled with OBS-1 players, and you lot can get started.

Don't you spam up this forum. You're a fool if you dare! Don't you spam up this forum. Cause' Fionavar's waiting out there! :D

Yeah, but my new avatar could give you all food poisoning. And then you'd be sorry you ever crossed Reveilled! :darque:

Has anyone ever had a dream that they weren't in? As in, the dream is about someone else, and you're watching things as if it was a film or TV show, because you can observe everything but no-one notices you or mentions you, and even you yourself don't seem to be aware of your own presence? I had a dream like that once, and it was extremely strange. It was about some sort of spy who was being chased across a partially constructed building (lots of girders, no floors) by two men in suits.

I wish my logic could take over. I've had dreams where things have been so crazy that M.C. Escher's drawings look tame and logical by comparison. Hell, even when my dreamworld starts exhibiting non-euclidian geometry, nothing seems out of the ordinary. The worst part is that I used to have lucid dreams all the time, though that was when I was pre-pubescent, so I missed out on all the best stuff. Strangely, though, it never once occured to me to fly when I had Lucid dreams. In fact, I usually spent most of my Lucid dreams trying to wake up.

I know one variant that's even better balanced than the standard game, and that's Migrane. (eight players, and anything named with a compass point connects to it's opposite-compass point named counterpart, and single provinces shown twice on the map connect a to a and b to b). Though I continue to maintain my position that if we have any new players that the game should be played on the standard map. But that is, as was said, Archie's call.

He was here. He was reading the thread a while ago. Come back, Ros! We love you!

it does seem rather stange to me that someone who was mentally disturbed would choose to dream about being murdered or raped instead of being the one doing the murdering or the raping, but that might just be because I supress an inner sadist rather than a masochist.

I dunno. I have one of those books in my house, and I've never once found that the things described in the book as meanings having a relation to my life in some way that wasn't pretty vague. And the things connected to the meanings are pretty vague. Like, if water is an emotion, does that mean if I dream of an ocean, or if I happen to drink a glass of water in my dream? Would dreaming of meeting Queen Victoria have a different meaning than dreaming of meeting Queen Elizabeth, other than indicating what period the Strategy game I'd played before going to sleep was set in? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The missing ingredient is always the dreamer. I find the reference books are useful. Why? Probably because we all have some common archetypes (either group unconscious, as Jung hypothesized, a genetic race memory that is passed on like the BIOS of a new computer, and our lives are built with an OS and applications on top; or perhaps it is just the commonalities of our nurturing). These archetypes mean the same thing to all of us. Water equals emotion. Yes, a glass, or an ocean. Drinking the water would connote some sort of swallowing of a reaction. For example, I dreamt of flying over an ocean. It was difficult to leave the water once I was in it, but I could (as I was lucid dreaming). That tells me I was distancing myself from some large emotion. The specifics are up to me, the dreamer, to unwind, but I find that if you have a prompt (like: strong emotion) then you can make some sense of an otherwise random vision. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That sounds suspiciously like Discordian theology's Law of Fives.

I never said they weren't. Of course, lots of European Kings stopped being quite so brutal a whole lot quicker than the Emperors of Japan... "

Well, that would depend on whether having "honor" or discipline would disqualify one from being a thug. They were the warrior servants of brutal and opressive feudal lords.

I wonder how they get them. Do they have an assembly line with lots of schoolgirls sitting on a conveyer belt while mechanical arms fit them with panties?

From what I understand, it's mostly related to when you wake up. You're far more likely to remember a dream if you wake up right after you've had it that if you wake up long after. That's why you can always always remember a nightmare if it causes you to wake up. It's nice to know, though, that my dreams helped me learn how to fight the disabled in fast food outlets.

I'm not sure about this "play out certain situations in our lives" theory. Why would my brain need to know what I would do if a dwarf with down syndrome attacked me in a Mental Hospital's Chip Shop?
