hey KP, DA and i were talking about D&D and wondering why there isn't some sort of "virtual gaming table" client out there, and started talking about how easy it would (theoretically be) to make one on our own. well, i also found a program called Fantasy Grounds that's just that. there's a discussion i started in the ToE site under Gaming, Other, if you're interested.
IT'S TOO QUIET IN HERE TODAY!
some of it amounts to less obvious ways the AI is programmed. sometimes evil AIs will gang up on "easy pickings" while good and, to a lesser extent, neutral AIs will gang up on anyone who's become too powerful (though sometimes, if it way too powerful, they won't). usually there will be a pop-up from the AI in question, though, so it doesn't sound like this is what's going on.
hmm i'd better get back to my ZYWs, otherwise i'll lose #2 [e digicons]8C[/e]

honestly, in some ways it's a blessing in disguise. before i finished my bachelor's degree i knew i wanted to go to graduate school. i was just burned out and tired of being poor. but this has been a real wake-up call. i'm not cut out to be an office drone (no offense intended to anyone who is). the longer i work with graduate students, the more i envy them. so i'm looking into graduate schools. it's a slow process. for each school, i need to look into at least half a dozen department
OP updated. i was told today at work, basically, that i needed to shape up or ship out. i'm opting to ship out. i wasn't fired, and i didn't quit. in the near future i'll be looking for a tech-support type job as well as applying to graduate schools. i may be a bit busy in the coming months, but i'll do my best to continue supporting everyone here. and yeah, i really need a [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

i totally had some follow-up comments and can't remember them now. damn you, rum! okay, one of them is that everyone should give JustinSane some karma, 'cause he totally derserves it. and SilverBeacher too, for helping even though he's "retired" *cough*cough*old*cough* oh, another thing was, if you want to chose new macots for your teams, go for it! try to stick with the tradtion of including your team letter as the first letter in your team's mascot, and also make sure no one

[quote]I wouldn't recommend 64 bit XP. Hardware manufacturers never really accepted it; you are unlikely to find many drivers for it. Vista is a much better choice for 64 bit computing.[/quote] that's the whole dilemma. no use spending money on a version of XP at this point, let alone one that was poorly supported. so should i get vista? i guess it really depends on how soon i upgrade, if i get an X2 at all. but i equally loathe the idea of paying for vista when i know win7 is on the
