Oh look! I ``earned'' a third anniversary badge. It would appear that putting up with Minsia's shit is somehow badge-worthy.

  • MY wife didn't like it when I rolled over the couch laughing at:

  • The corners toggle the central position. This means it goes in the transformation matrix, not an additional 300 pages of a book! Hokey J. Cripes! Just use the xform matrix.  A human-being armed with nothing more than pen & paper can solve this s…
  • Fighting in other systems is pretty lame.  Can a novice, given plenty of time and a potent weapon take out a skilled veteran who stands idly by? Sure, but in those games it is about as exciting as chopping down a tree who somehow manages to dodge 85…
  • @Xeria: It could be worse.  The Tahtetso dress-code (from my experience) seems to be thigh-highs and a smile.
  • (Quote) A couple in West Virginia recently requested to abort their pregnancy.  The stated reason? It is predicted that by the year 2020 6/10 of children in the US will speak spanish, but neither of them are mexican.  To each their own.…
  • @Milune: It happens.  Just recover your Magnagoran bearing and carry on.  Your Magnagoran bearing is like your military bearing but we keep it in the ice box next t…
  • Implementing the ``bind'' operator was a LOT easier than I expected! The nicest thing about Delegates in .Net? All the power of function pointers w/o any of the hassle of function pointers.  So ``/foo {...} def'' and ``/foo {...} bind def'' both wor…

  • (Quote) I'm piqued.
  • @Enyalida: Sometimes my wife looks over my shoulder, reads the screen, and asks ``Oh my! Did that person just die?'' to which I invariably answer ``No.  That pers…
  • Sure, I can dig it.  Thanks for thinking it over just the same.

    I didn't envision reworking/redesigning the current system.  Instead I figured just appending that/those scripts to the existing player and/or room objects so the traditional…
  • Please forgive me, but I don't think I quite understand the problem statement.  The banter seems to revolve around finding a more perfect penalty for being wuss-slapped.  If I understand correctly, the principle problem is that while we would like t…
  • Congrats to @Tremula.

    Last night I kissed my wife at midnight.  I am happy.

    Earlier today I made some more progress in my Iron Postscript run…

  • (Quote) Just because they thought it was a good idea doesn't mean they can get away with it.  In the end no one died.. this time.
  • @Shaddus Attempted and failed! See how pitiful the northern lands are when presented with the true power of the blessed Taint? Gaudiguch can call it what they like…
  • (Quote) Even the really bored are like ``mah... too much trouble to sack a newb. it takes like 15 seconds to set-up insta-kill, and by then i could be doing something useful''.  It takes a SPECIAL kind of really bored to declare toe-to-…

  • (Quote) YOU are not safe.  You are not safe anywhere.  You are not safe in your city/commune.  You are not safe at your nexus.  You are not safe with your cosmics/avatars.  NOT EVEN YOUR VIRTUE IS SAFE! Gawd, I just love Lusternia.

  • (Quote) You're a bastard.. and congrats! Yeah, I like it when I nail the final denizen too.  Good luck, and see you next revolt :) in Lack of Raves V: Stark Ravin' Glad Comment by Delphas January 2015
  • Forged from black iron, this decorative vial is crafted to look like the Portal of Fate. The body of
    the vial is an oval, polished to a bright ebony sheen that sparkles in any light. Twisting around
    the Portal of Fate are ropes of pure g…
  • using Postscript: I have a decent multiple inheritance system.  My PS interpreter isn't fully complete (and since it's implemented in .Net I guess it should be called Iron Postscript), but it searches the dict stack correctly.  If one places their o…
  • Et al:

    Now that the example is set, let us all put the names down between our feet and back away slowly.  We don't need to say ``Pulling an X'' or ``Pulling a Y'', because I think the point has been made and hopefully no one feels like an…

  • (Quote) Standard courtroom rules apply:
      When the facts on your side then you argue PETTIFOGGERY. 
      When the law is on your side then you argue PONTIFICATION. 
      When morality is on your side then you argue PASSION. 
  • I suppose debating might be better left within the halls of academia since civilized people settle things like adults -- with swords and demon-web and burst organs! Nothing settles matters like asymetric violence, after all.

  • Curio? What's a gawd-curio? I do not believe such items exist.  You must be a witch to spread such disinformation! BURN HER!

    OH! oh yeah.  I just remembered my situation.  Carry on.

    Delphas rarely loses even to Elfen and Trill.  Perhaps ``Strategy'' is not the right word, but it did take a of study to come up with the correct balance of debate-attack vs dramatics-afflict.  Perhaps that was about…
  • Delphas is rather good at debating, but w/o a changeling cameo he's up against a wall when it comes to truefavoured-avatar-faeling.  And during the last Father Sun walked in Antlers, which meant Serenwilders had quite the advantage.  Curses!
  • (Quote) Yes, I think the RP-side of things would benefit tremendously, but I still need to come back to tangible benefits.  Why do merchants pay ``protection'' fees? Proximal answer: so the mob doesn't break your legs.  Ultimate answer:…
