    Thanks everyone for the the game, and thank you Joe for running it. I really enjoyed it! I didn't think we were quite Voidbringers? Unfortunately, LG14 won't be getting the award for longest eliminator doc... Have another Les Miserable parody: Also, with the eliminator doc, unless Joe merges them, be sure to check the table of contents first, and click the 'Archive' link, which has the 100+ pages of Cycles 1-8

    I edited my previous post, to avoid confusion (I'm building a hospital instead of a police station, is all)

    I've changed my public action, just in case that's relevant to anyone.

    RP to come Action:

    'Pressure'. Fortunately she was so overprotective that she'd accidentally hurt herself. And yeah, no problems with hugs. Just wouldn't want to be hugged by Dark Pheonix from X3...
  6. Haelbarde
    The idea of getting hugs from someone who could disintegrate you with their hands is... slightly intimidating... Edit: Also, your avatar makes your title slightly ironic, don't you think?

    This talk of Zombies and snow makes me think of things like Dead of Winter...

    The title of this thread needs to be changed to 'Still Having a Bad Day? Get Your Hugs Here!'

    One of my cats is just like that. And no, he was named Garfield before we found out how much he ate...

    When I applied for work at an OSHC company, I cited teaching Sunday School in my cover letter, and repeated it in the interview, and no one laughed at me. I got a job with the company even. (Dunno if these things are different in the US). It's a great example of being able to work with (presumably) younger children. I'd say it's certainly not irrelevant.

    Even though we all know they are waiting in vain. Of course no one else awesomer is going to turn up. They just don't know it yet.
  12. Haelbarde
    That was probably true.

    It was the head of my Halberd though, I thought.
  14. Haelbarde
    Oh, I remember that conversation... Well, I remember having that conversation anyway. What were the details again?
  15. Haelbarde
    I'll just have to ninja signup to the games you join. Once I have the time.
  16. Haelbarde
    Will do. And is now sad I am not playing. You better play more games than this one!
  17. Haelbarde
    12 sets was the base pledge, and you got more? o.O If you're willing to part with them, I'd be happy to pay that.
  18. Haelbarde
    See, I was sad that one needed to be over zealous to get them in Australia (and I didn't think to post here to see if anyone else was getting them to pitch in for a set...). So, just putting it out there, I'd be interested in paying for a set if someone happened to have a spare (and ya know, was happy to send them to Australia).
  19. Haelbarde
    I'll save that post and come and down vote it once the forum update lets me undo it upon regretting that decision.

    So Player A chooses a door 1. Monty opens a door (#3), and behind it is a goat! Player A is offered the choice to switch. Player A urgently has to leave and is unable to give an answer. While they are waiting for Player B to appear, they remove the door Monty opened, because everyone knows there was a goat behind it. Player B turns up, and is presented with now two doors. Should Player B choose door #1 or #2? I guess I think that's how people think it intuitively. But the knowledge gained makes the switch more likely. If you want to test it yourself, open up Excel or Google Sheets. In the first column, put the title 'Prize location', and the 2nd column, 'Player Choice'. Then use the function '=RANDBETWEEN(1,3)' in both columns, and drag the formula down to as many attempts as you want (I tried both 1000 and 10000). What this does is choose a random number between 1 and 3. In the third column, put the formula '=IF(A2=B2,"Stay","Switch")'. What this is doing is comparing the two columns and working out if the player should switch door, or stay with their initial choice. If the numbers match, that means they chose the door with the car, and so they should stay. If they don't match, then then they chose a door with a goat behind it. Given that Monty will have opened the other door with a goat, then they should switch. Obviously they don't know what they have, so whether or not they should switch or not, but we can consider what they should do if they knew. Then, in two other cells, put the formulas ' =COUNTIF($C$2:$C$10001,"Stay")' and '=COUNTIF($C$2:$C$10001,"Switch")' (these are for the case where you have 10000 rows of random numbers and comparisons). These will count up the number of times they should have Stayed with their initial choice, and the number of times they should have Switched from their initial choice. For the set of random numbers I have at the moment, it gives me the results 3387 in 10000 they should have stayed with their initial choice, and 6613 times in 10000 that they should have switched.

    Like Twi, I'm not sure how you'd tell someone that (holding to a faith myself, it feels wierd to attempt advise someone on losing theirs..., but anyway). But also like Twi, I do think that working out precisely what you believe, and the reasons for those beliefs is a good thing. It'll do a few things. It may help you regain your faith if by thinking about things and doing some research, you find good reason for the things you may have believed before. But even if it does not, when talking to your mother, you'll be able to say more than 'I just don't feel it anymore'. It goes without saying, I think, that it would be important to respect her beliefs still. Now, I do not know what your situation is, what your thoughts have been, what your mother is like, or your relationship with her, but if you told her that you were uncertain of your faith, would she likely be willing to help you work things out? (BTW, is she/you a particular 'brand' of Christian?) I'm not sure, sorry. Here were some thoughts, but I do not know if they'll be helpful at all. But if you wanted to chat about this sorta thing, I'd be happy to talk in a PM.

    As far as playing the game is concerned? Unless you're a Terrisman, or your campaign is set in that Dominance, it's not going to be that useful. However it's got a lot of information about how their society works and such like. I purchased the PDF's to use as a reference for the MBI, and the Terris suplement was great for when I was writing a Terrisman Steward.

    See, I was planning on getting around to it eventually, but then you go say that... I'm guessing the 2nd half is what I'd expect it to say having translated the first half?
  24. Haelbarde
    Mind if I spectate?
  25. Haelbarde
    I started doing that once! As in German on Duolingo (as opposed to the other languages). I stopped after awhile though... I learnt that I wrote 25k words over about 2 weeks while discussing stuff relating to a forum game...
