Dangit. "contentnoads" might suffer from the same problem, then. Gotta re-do the whole site.

Edited to add that I've just installed AdBlock Plus, myself, and yeah, it kills 95% of my site, which may explain, partly, my high bounce rate and low average time-on-site.

Do your also run any script on your site? You might want to get NoScript for FireFox and see if it might causes issues as well.

Well, no, the changes I made won't get around AdBlock, they'll just let people who run AdBlock see the real content. They still won't see the ads. Which is fine.

Yeah, I already knew that NoScript is breaking my bust-out-of-frames script and my Google Analytics stuff, but... oh, well. Eventually, I'll get around to comparing the Analytics data to the raw logs, and that'll give me an estimate of the percentage of my visitors who are running NoScript.

Oh, and I plan on putting up a javascript game with a psoriasis theme, but NoScript users ought to see a message about that.

Ok, so I'm trying to build a submarine. You know, huge cloaking, devastating weaponry, good propulsion and computing; meager comms, sensors, space, crew, shields, etc.

Looks like 500c isn't enough to make my kind of submarine. Perhaps I'll only focus on the cloaking....

I've found that to be typical for these sorts of games. You think to yourself, "okay, this will be way cool," and then the pricetag or space limitations bite you in the butt.

I'm being hindered so far by not being able to get my printer working. I really need a hard copy of this stuff. I may go into the building's computer room tomorrow and print the rules out there, instead.

Ok, so we got a max cost, is there anything else to be decided (other than turn order) to get started? I should be posting my ship in the next day or two (or is it better to keep that secret till we've started?)

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

No.

Ideally, everyone would reveal their ships at the same time. But really, with what we've got going here, only the last person to reveal has an advantage.

And I spoke earlier of rules changes to cope with playing in the forum. Really, the only change is that every choice that is reserved for a targeted ship's player should be made instead by the attacker, but it should be made in the targeted player's favor. This change is in the interest of game flow.

For example, if you, me and Mooner are playing, in that order, and you, Ricky, attack Mooner's ship, and wind up in a situation in which Mooner would choose between having an engine damaged or a lounge, you (Ricky) would pick the lounge on Mooner's behalf (assuming that damaging the lounge would be better for the ship than damaging the engine).

Then you (Ricky) would post the current stats for Mooner's ship (fresh damage included), and then say, "Dave, it's your turn." This way, I don't have to wait around for Mooner to make the (probably) obvious choice, and the game will run much more smoothly.

In the (hopefully) rare cases in which you make a choice that Mooner disagrees with, we have the luxury of simply backing everything up after Mooner says, "now wait just a damn minute!" He could then make the decision he would have made, had we been face-to-face, and then either have me redo my turn (if his changes would have made a difference to my turn) or just keep on going with his.

And so, meekly, I'm going to suggest that no matter what turn order gets figured out, that I go first to set an example of how people should post their turns.

Oh, and I'm going to say that whoever suggested an online game is the person who determines the turn order, so that would be you, Ricky.

Sorry for the delay. I almost have everything set to go, but I'm having a hard time playing around with the toughness attribute for everything. I will be posting my ship tomorrow, awful as it may be.

Hey Dave there is an error in the example calculation for the bridge section, I think. It should be 7u of space.

Oh, and I'm going to say that whoever suggested an online game is the person who determines the turn order, so that would be you, Ricky.


Mooner, I assume you're in? If that's the case, then I'll opt to go last: Dave, Mooner, me.

Here is my ship. I call 'er "Eggs in a basket".


Cost  Component  Size  Attributes
45    Bridge     7     1AP/6TG
30    Crew       4     1AP/3TG
25    Life       5     1BP/5TG
70    Prop       9     5MN/1TH/5TG
130   Weap       25    13PW/6AC/8TG
160   Shield     18    12PR/7TG
40    Frame      8     5TG

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

You're right.

But with 68u of other components and a 6TG, your frame should be 9u and cost 45c, bringing your ship cost up to 505c.

Easily fixed. I just spent the last 7 hours doing a commutative algebra assignment, so I'll just trust your calculations... for now.
