I made some HESCO Bastions. (x-post /r/terrainbuilding)

My squad leader claimed these were invented by a go getter named Private Hesco in WW2 and he was awarded a prestigious medal for his invention saving so many lives.

They are HErcules Engineering Solutions COmpany barriers.

Oh, I also have a house rule to recommend. My wife and I play this all the time it's our go to two player game. But we're a little disappoint with the Patrol cards, they are just strictly worse than the attack cards, unless we've missed some reason why you' want to activate only 2 units.

So we borrowed from the Scouting cards in Memoir '44. If you play a patrol card, when you go to draw a replacement Battlelore Card during the final phase, instead draw two, keep one and put the other on the bottom of the deck.

No worries, I blame several hundreds of years worth of medieval art depicting little red guys poking people with sharpened sticks.

Seriously. The devil punishes those who are damned to hell for all eternity. He doesn't actually kill anyone. The nazis, on the other hand killed millions.

Uh oh-- badtheology.

The Devil has no eternal punitive role in Abrahamic cosmology. He is the most significant resident, not the administrator of the lake of burning sulphur.

:D

The expansions make list building really fun and interesting. This game is good at scratching the Warhammer itch without the lifestyle.

There's some kids playing a very loud game of tag in the park just by my house. I would be pretty easy for me to run out there, declare myself a participant, drop trou, and have explosive diarrhea all over the court, and then tackle whoever is "It" and pin them to the ground. I could then easily spit in his ear.

It would, almost without a doubt, end the game of tag they are playing. It would not be because I got out there and played a stellar game of tag. In fact that would be some terrible tag.

It's also possible to get kids to shut up, if you're willing to do unusual things.

It's possible to have an significant and important impact on a war and still have terrible performance.

Emergency? Lock the store and leave. Why would this be illegal? Is it illegal to be alone in your home? Is it illegal to be alone in your car?

It's a good idea to have at lest two people at a retail outlet, but we don't need a federal law making it illegal to be alone in the workplace.

Madbrad200 · 21時間前

Sounds good.

Although your first is incorrect. It was a very good idea, caught on quickly, and was effective. So there's that.

The native spelling standard is an excellent idea and I also expect it to have great traction, as it's obviously a strong play.

Again, I was predicting making up new flags for languages would not catch on and was a bad idea. So our predictions do not conflict, at all.

Madbrad200 · 22時間前

Sure, and you put a little recognizable flag next to each language as a convenient visual aid.

Madbrad200 · 22時間前

So, what I said was specifically on the topic of making up new language flags for interfaces. You've just shown that you didn't really comprehend what was said. Because I have been on topic, and I did not subvert my own claim, which is what the "Exactly" rhetorical device in disagreement is actually for. You can't just throw the other person's words back at them unless it actually applies to what they've said.

Or you can, but it doesn't make any sense and doesn't progress the disagreement. I don't think you're even bothering to try and comprehend what I'm saying.

Again, as I said the claim is based on experience and common sense. Those are things. they are not nothing. Now you may disagree with the prediction and there's functional ways to try and refute, or at least rebut what I've said.

But how about this. I'll make a specific prediction with a time frame:

Within the next 10 years using language flags as a feature for language selection on multilingual websites will not become significantly popular. Popular significance will be, let's say, 10% adoption, with sites weighted by traffic, so as not to unfairly overrepresent small unpopular and irrelevant multilingual sites.

Furthermore I propose that the reason this won't happen is because it's not a very good idea and won't have any cultural traction.

At this point we can only wait and see who is right, since you're not offering any effective back and forth disagreement.

Madbrad200 · 1日前

You can't cite this prediction. It's common sense and experience.

Again, I'm not trying to say "let's not try to change anything."

I'm saying "let's not try to implement this specific change."

Try to stay on topic. Because I am against a thing does not mean I'm against all things.

Madbrad200 · 1日前

Yeah, that's why I don't use it as shorthand for not trying to change anything.

In this case it's shorthand for there already being several adequate solutions and the new proposed standard isn't "catchy" enough to supplant them, so will just become another competing standard, and likely and underused one because of its unfamiliarity and tenuous connection to people's normal experiences and education.

Also, I never indicated that I thought flags were the only standard, so I'm not sure why you needed to address that item. I thought the comic made it clear that the situation is not "There is one standard, let's add another." The comic is about already having several standards, to the point of excess.

In short, making up new flags for languages is not a particularly useful idea because it won't gain any traction for common use, which is what the original post is dealing with because the blog is about language standards in public website design.

Thanks for the correction. You're right, I failed to account for interdependence.

Or, it's a competitive 1vmany game. The one player is actively trying to step in every trap, aggro every enemy, and generally get himself killed. The many must keep him alive for a set amount of time, or get him to point B.

A ruleset that pushes the 1 inexorable to point B while he tries to kill himself wouldn't be overly complicated.

Yes, this is true. Good players know that if one player is having a horrible game, someone else is going to use that player as a pinata for victory points. So you ally and trade with that player if you aren't the one with the stick, to make sure the balance of power is maintained. You should almost never let someone be in a neutered position, especially not for 5 hours. You're just helping someone else win.

And if you're the one beating up on the weakened player and the others just watch it happen, they are not good.

orangestegosaurus · 1日前

In TI3, is player choices that get you in that kind of situation for that long. It's not a game design error. There are plenty of game design problems in TI3 but neutering a player for 5 hours is not one of them.

If he answers 2 questions out of 4500 the probability is 1/4500 + 1/4499.

So it's not 1/2250, but it's very close. Which is what matty said. He is not wrong.

Assuming he doesn't answer your question each time, becomes increasingly ridiculous with a large number of questions answered.

Of course for each instance of question selection, the odds are 1/however many questions are in the pool at the time.
