I have seen VGA Planets but never played it myself. When I was in university, I noticed that a lot of fellow students were completely addicted to the game, and were playing it day and night. I have been addicted to different games from time to time, and it usually had a detrimental effect on my grades because I spent all my time playing and not enough studying. So I managed to avoid playing it, and avert the addiction (it took some willpower).

Never heard of Winplan or Planets.

It has been noted by this reporter that the dreaded Post Thief has managed to make off with THOUSANDS of Posts from this the Ever-living Name Changing Thread.

While there is currently no reliable description of the culprit, the Posts stolen can be identified by their utter uselessness.
Anyone finding such Posts should run away screaming and report the sighting.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THESE POSTS BE READ!

Let's take this one step at a time. A crime has been committed (theft of Posts). Culprits must be identified. The three major criteria for culprits are...

- means
- motive
- opportunity

I think we can conflate means and opportunity here. Only a moderator/sys-admin could pull a stunt like this. That narrows the list down to...

(Moderated by: geoschmo, Mephisto, Suicide Junkie, Atrocities)

(copied from top of Forums hub page)

[pauses to puff on pipe]

So, which of these four scurvy dogs had the motive to perpetrate this crime?

Indeed. But, regarding the admins, we must also ascertain motive. Why would they steal our Posts? Why this thread, and not another? And why no prior announcement?

And as for gremlins... well, I am no programmer, but the hit on this thread appears to this old bunny to be a bit non-random. Why just one thread? This thread, for example? Further, why would Posts just disappear, rather than the whole thread being corrupted? Barring further evidence (reports of prior incidents of such gremlins), I must default back to purposeful human action behind this theft.

Elementary, my dear Junkie. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif [puff, puff]

[pauses to relight pipe]

Remain calm! Let's take this step by step.

To review, there are three possibilities here.

1) An "inside job" by one of the Moderators/sysadmins

2) An outside "hack" by a third party

3) A "bug"

As you all are aware, I am inclined to think that 1) is the probable solution. The evidence (disappearance of Posts in this thread only) does not appear to me to indicate a random bug in the system. An outside hack 2) is a possibility - and given the success vis a vis MOO3 that SEIV has enjoyed, we have a clear motive. But I am not inclined to believe that this is the case, as a "hack" job by a disgruntled MOO-ite would have, I believe, most likely targeted a more game-oriented thread - the Newbie FAQ for example.

So, we have the crime, and we have a finite and identifiable circle of suspects. We must now be about the task of narrowing that list down, until we find our nefarious culprit.

The evidence (disappearance of Posts in this thread only) does not appear to me to indicate a random bug in the system. Yes it does, actually. Not to a layman though. Just a few fields in the forum database could have become corrupted through a random bug or even a power glitch. Every post in the thread is not stored as the same field in the database. Ever have a hard drive crash? It is quite possible for some files in a folder to be recoverable, while other files in the folder are not. This is analogous to the most probable explanation (the random bug/glitch) of the loss of Posts.

Alexander the Great had an Infinite Number of Limbs (From Joel Rubin - grad school days!) (top)

Alexander the Great was forwarned of his fate by an oracle.
Forewarned is fore-armed.
Four arms + 2 legs = 6 limbs.
Six is an odd number of limbs for a man!
Six is even.
No finite number is both odd and even
Therefore Alexander had an infinite number of limbs!

Theorem : Perfect Squares Don�t Exist - by Prof Hendrik Lenstra (top)

Proof : Suppose that n is a perfect square. Look at the odd divisors of n.
They all divide the largest of them, which is itself a square, say d^2.
This shows that the odd divisors of n come in pairs a, b, where ab = d^2.
Only d is paired to itself.Therefore the number of odd divisors of n is odd.
This implies that the sum of all divisors of n is also odd. In particular, it is not 2n.
Hence n is not perfect, a contradiction : Perfect squares don�t exist. QED.

Theorem : Perfect Squares Don�t Exist - by Prof Hendrik Lenstra (top)

Proof : Suppose that n is a perfect square. Look at the odd divisors of n.
They all divide the largest of them, which is itself a square, say d^2.
This shows that the odd divisors of n come in pairs a, b, where ab = d^2.
Only d is paired to itself.Therefore the number of odd divisors of n is odd.
This implies that the sum of all divisors of n is also odd. In particular, it is not 2n.
Hence n is not perfect, a contradiction : Perfect squares don�t exist. QED.

A physicist an engineer and a mathematician are all staying in the same hotel.

Late at night, a fire breaks out in the physicist's television. He wakes up and see that the television is on fire. He then finds the room's sink and a bucket (originally for ice). Making a reasonable estimate of the heatmass of the burning television he calculates the necessary amount of water to douse the flames, measures it out in the bucket (estimating again), unplugs the television and dumps the bucket on the television, putting the fire out. He then goes back to sleep, satisfied that his vocation allowed him to solve this problem.

The engineer also wakes to find his television on fire. He also finds the bucket and the sink. He fills the bucket to over-flowing and dumps the entire quantity on the fire, right after kicking the television's power cord out of it's outlet. He fills another bucket and dumps it on the television, and throws the whole mess out the window. He goes back to bed and sleeps, because he has work to do the next day.

In a freak coincidence as you will only find in such stories, the mathematician also wakes during the night under similar circumstances. He sees the burning television, the bucket, and the sink and satisfied that there is a solution, he goes back to sleep.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW ELEMENT

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by university physicists. The element, tentatively named "Administratium," has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 15 assistant neutrons, 70 vice neutrons, and 161 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 247. These 247 particles are held together in the nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called "morons."

Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction with which it comes in contact. According to discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium added to one reaction caused it to take over four days to complete. Without the Administratium, the reaction occurs in less than one second. Administratium has a half life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Studies seem to show that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.

Research indicates that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate in certain locations such as governments, large corporations, and especially in universities. It can usually be found polluting the best appointed and best maintained buildings. Scientists warn that Administratium is known to be toxic and recommend plenty of alcoholic fluids followed by bed rest after even low levels of exposure.

A physicist a biologist and a mathematician were at a bar, drinking and looking out the window. As they watched a building across the street, they saw one person walk in and two people walk out.

"Reproduction by fission!" the biologist claimed.

"No, no. This does not fit our well tested and published theories," countered the physicist, "we must not have all the data."

While these two were arguing, the mathematician watched another person walk into the building. "It's settled then," he said to his two friends, "there is no reason for argument: that building is empty."

One day a mathematician decides that he is sick of math. So, he walks down to the fire department and announces that he wants to become a fireman.

The fire chief says, "Well, you look like a good guy. I'd be glad to hire you, but first I have to give you a little test."

The firechief takes the mathematcian to the alley behind the fire department which contains a dumpster, a spigot, and a hose. The chief then says, "OK, you're walking in the alley and you see the dumpster here is on fire. What do you do?"

The mathematician replies, "Well, I hook up the hose to the spigot, turn the water on, and put out the fire."

The chief says, "That's great... perfect. Now I have to ask you just one more question. What do you do if you're walking down the alley and you see the dumpster is not on fire?"

The mathematician puzzles over the question for awhile and he finally says, "I light the dumpster on fire."

The chief yells, "What? That's horrible! Why would you light the dumpster on fire?"

The mathematician replies, "Well, that way I reduce the problem to one I've already solved."

A fellow decided to go somewhere via hot-air balloon and got lost. Looking down, he saw a guy standing in the middle of a field, so he decided to ask for directions. "Hey", he called, "excuse me, could you tell me where I am ?"

"Sure", the guy on the ground replies, "You're inside a hot-air balloon, ten meters from the ground."

"You wouldn't be an economist, would you ?", asks the guy in the balloon.

"Actually I am, how did you know that ?"

"Because you gave an answer that is as correct as it is useless.", says the balloon guy.

"Oh yeah,", says the economist, "well I'd say you're a politician."

"Yes I am, how did you know that ?"

"Well, you had a destination to reach, but chose a tool that was inadequate for the job. You made no plans and brought no instruments that could have helped you. And now that things aren't going as you expected, you're blaming an economist !"

A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple of really important execs on board into Seattle airport. There is fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out. He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel and his passengers are very nervous. At Last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. Circling, the pilot banks and shouts through his open window: "Where am I?" The solitary office worker replies: "You're in an airplane." The pilot executes a swift 275 degree turn and executes a perfect blind landing on the airport's runway five miles away. Just as the plane stops, the engines cough and die from lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot how he did it.
"Simple," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100% correct but absolutely useless; therefore, that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is three minutes away on a course of 87 degrees."

Actual dialog of a former Wordperfect Customer Support employee:

"Wordperfect Customer Support; may I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

"How do I tell?"

"Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"

"What's a sea-prompt?"

"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

"What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.

"Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

"Yes, it is."

"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

"Okay, here it is."

"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

"I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

"No."

"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark."

"Dark?"

"Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."

"I can't."

"No? Why not?"

"Because there's a power outage."

"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

Dog's Letter to God

Dear God:

Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it going to be the same old story?

Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog?

How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride!

Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God, can you arrange for more meatballs, less spaghetti on pasta night, please?

When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?

Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog:

1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

3. I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.

4. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.

5. The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.

6. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

7. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

8. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.

9. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

10. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying 'hello.'

11. I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

12. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.

13. I will not throw up in the car.

14. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.

15. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over.

16. The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

And, finally my Last question;

Dear God, when I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Best Regards,

Spot

The interviewer asks him, "Are you a veteran?"

The guy says, "Why yes, in fact, I served two tours in Vietnam."

"Good," says the interviewer, "That counts in your favor. Do you have any service-related disabilities?"

The guy says, "In fact I am 100% disabled. During a battle, an explosion removed my private parts so they declared me disabled, it doesn't affect my ability to work, though."

"Sorry to hear about the damage, but I have some good news for you, I can hire you right now! Our working hours are 8 to 4. Come on in about 10, and we'll get you started."

An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes, he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and ask them one question and their answer would determine who would get the job. The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, the interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?", pointing to the man on his right.
The first man replied "A thought". It pops into your head. There's no forewarning that it's on the way, it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of."
"That's very good!" replied the interviewer. And now you sir," he asked the second man.
"Hmm....let me see, A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know it ever happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer "The blink of an eye. That's a very popular clich� for speed." He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
"Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch, when you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light at the barn comes on in an instant." "Turning on a light is the fastest thing I can think of."
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light." he said. Turning to the fourth man, he posed the question.
"After hearing the three previous answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is diarrhea" said the Newfie.
"WHAT?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
"Oh, I can explain." he said, "You see the other day I wasn't feeling so well and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could think, blink or turn on the light, I crapped my pants!"

He got the job.

I know! I'll drive a car beside the train track, holding a leash in one hand and going at the same speed as the train.

That would be "driving" the train instead. So you need to work on that solution. Unless, of course you have a car that is flintstone style, that might count as "walking." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

To the best of my knoweledge, you never stated publicly that you might have overstated the first time. I consider that nonsense. You might not. I suppose differing definitions of nonsense might lead you to be insulted, so I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Used correctly, the Talisman is an impossible trait to defeat.
Paraphrase:(Used correctly) AND Talisman => (Impossible to defeat)

Originally posted by Imperator Fyron:

Paraphrase: (Playing well) AND talisman <> (impossible to defeat)

Compare that to the first paraphrase:
(Used correctly) AND Talisman => (Impossible to defeat)

Assuming that "Used correctly" is a subset of "Playing well", those two paraphrases are at odds with each other.

So, are we going to do this with real logic, where you walk through your reading and mine to find specific points of contention, or are you just going to contradict me and leave it at that?
<hr>
For reference, the thread I pulled the Last two quotes from: A thought on the Talisman / Live on Pay-Per-View: Geo vs. Fyron (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=23;t=009530;p=2)

<hr><hr>
Or do you mean the one where you were incensed at my insulting you by "original statement"?

Edit: added a "paraphrase" that I had forgotten to make it clear that I'm repeating what I read Fyron's post as translated into a light Version of set notation, rather than saying something of my own.

Edit: changed "second" to "Last" for clairity on which two quotes I was referring to on the reference section.

Edit: changed "=" to "=>" for better set notation.

Edit: Notation explanation: A => B is A implies B; A <> B is A does not imply B

Jack, I don't know if this thread is the place for it, but I do think your logic there is pretty solid. Fyron and I continued our conversation offline for sometime. He steadfastly refuses to conceed either that there was anything wrong with his initial statement, or that his two statements are in any way contradictory. He did come close to conceeding that for his initial statement to be correct it had to be assumed you were playing a game in which allied victory was an option. It is apparently his conviciotn that either that stipulation should be understood inherantly in the phrase "used correctly", or at least that the phrase "used correctly" is somehow vague enough as to cover any sort of optional game settings or victory conditions and not limited to in game performance as I reasonably took it to mean. Obviously I think that argument is equivalent to a substantial quanity of bat guano, but eh,whadaygonnado? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

GeoschmoMe, I'm going to try to convince Fyron to put the nonsense he calls "arguing" into the appropriet space - this nonsense thread. Mind you, he won't recognize that it is nonsense, and will probably take exception to this post. To the best of my knoweledge, Fyron has never admitted he's wrong (I did a search once - he had no Posts where "I am wrong" or "I'm wrong" constituted a phrase that he seriously meant - although I did find an interesting dodge when there was no possible way any sane person could concievably agree that Fyron was right in that instance.

Oh, and I suppose I did miss a common tactic Fyron uses when I was asking him what he was going to do - stop responding.

There are several different ways to do it:
1) use the "hide from recent visitors list" option under your profile (what Fyron does, Last I heard)

2) Get to threads through Get Daily (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_daily) page; the recent visitors list only applies to people who visit the page with the list on it, not the threads in the section of the forum (this is what I do).

3) You can log out and back in repeatedly; you will show up in the recent visitors list as a guest.

4) you can bookmark threads and jump to them directly (I do this as well).

5) reserved for any methods I don't know about.

One bright day
In the middle of the night,
Two dead boys
Got up to Fight.
Back to back
They faced each other,
Drew their swords
And shot each other.
A deaf policeman
Heard the noise,
Came and killed
The two dead boys.
Now if you don't believe
This tall tale,
Ask the blind man
He saw it all.
