03:06:02 <therethinker> I may have asked this before, but shareware/floss != FLOSS, right, or am I crazy?
03:06:29 <aspect> unless shareware = floss^2
03:06:47 <therethinker> Oops
03:06:55 <therethinker> I meant "shareware/freeware"
03:07:11 <jsled> therethinker: right.
03:07:19 <aspect> they don't normally meet the "open source" part
03:07:28 <jsled> floss = free/libre, open-source software.
03:07:36 <therethinker> So I'm not crayz
03:07:51 <therethinker> (god damn typos...)
03:08:17 <jsled> Traditional freeware is only free in cost … "gratis". Shareware isn't even close.
03:08:53 <jsled> There's two levels … the "open source" aspect of being able to get at the source without substantative restriction.
03:09:39 <jsled> And the "further" free-/libre-ness of being compelled^Wa participant in a community in which you share your cahnges with others.
03:11:05 <therethinker> Exactly!
03:11:19 <therethinker> But I wanted to make sure w/ someone that I'm not just being super-critical
03:11:28 <jsled> nope. It's quite fucking simple.
03:11:32 <jsled> FUCKIONG<
03:11:45 <therethinker> So if someone called Openoffice or Firefox shareware/freeware, you'd want to punch them too?
03:11:57 <jsled> No, but they're wrong.
03:12:08 <therethinker> would you point it out to them?
03:12:16 <jsled> likely.
03:12:23 <therethinker> Okay
03:12:29 <jsled> DO IT>
03:12:36 <jsled> POINT IT OUT!
03:12:40 <therethinker> Oh, I did
03:12:52 <therethinker> but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't being a critical asshole.
03:13:00 <therethinker> I reached my quota earlier today...
03:13:57 <jsled> I'd say something like "'free'? yes. But this doesn't label itself – and doesn't really fit the tradition of – freeware. and it's not shareware at all."
03:15:29 <jsled> anyways. I'm off.
03:16:17 <jsled> BTW, I've just verified: Pitch Black continues to be an awesome movie.

13:26:45 <xover> The tech tree is narrow and has little penalty of choice.
13:27:01 <xover> Battle mechanics are pretty simple.
13:28:02 <xover> And city management is dumbed down to the point where you have little control over its details above what to produce, and its total culture/influence/size value.
13:28:37 <xover> Naval units seem to be a checkmark feature that has little real reason to exist.
13:28:54 <xover> And the worlds are far too small.
13:29:12 <xover> The balance is fairly good, but it's too casual to be really engaging.

13:30:32 <_bjoern> Can't you generate max sized worldmap?
13:31:00 <xover> Yes, but “Max” isn't really very big.
13:31:17 <_bjoern> In III max was quite massive.
13:31:54 <_bjoern> I didn't use ships in III much either, some transports to conquer other contitents only usually.
13:32:05 <_bjoern> well and some forces to protect them, but that's about it.
13:33:07 <_bjoern> The thing that annoyed me most with III was that conquered are far away built cities were so terribly unproductive.
13:33:08 <xover> One of the CivIV expansions seems to include some extra naval features — such as trade routes on the ocean equivalent to trade routes on land — but I've not treid any of them.
13:33:30 <xover> Yeah, I don't think that's fixed.
13:34:04 <xover> City Upkeep is based on proximity to Capital; and anything on a far continent is going to be hideously expensive to maintain.
13:34:20 <xover> The Forbidden Palace helps a bit, but…
13:34:37 <_bjoern> And some design flaws that made it really easy to win, like, build lots of german tanks, ask your enemy to grant you travel rights through his territory, place the tanks next to his cities, and attack when done. Win. That's kinda boring then.
13:35:09 <nsh-> Forbidden Palace of Immensity?
13:35:49 <xover> Well, when you go to war, or end the Open Borders treaty, your units are expelled from their territory.
13:35:50 <_bjoern> One thing I tried was prepping some area up, then move the palace to a new area. Then both areas sucked only so much.
13:36:09 <xover> The game's too short to do much of that kind of thing.
13:36:30 <_bjoern> In III the units would remain on enemy territory if you attack.
13:38:22 <xover> In fact, coverting from peactime to war footing, or vice versa, is fairly hard; if you go one way you can switch to the other at most one time during the game.
13:39:16 <xover> And since going to war early pisses everybody of, making them attack you in the future, the usual game is peacefull the first half and then devolves into full on war for the last half.
13:42:39 <xover> Granted I'm not exactly a Civ expert so it may just be that the game's too subtle for me.

14:05:46 <sbp> some with furs, but that's about it
14:06:26 <clsn> Ooog... I'm not sure you can do barry with a charge on only some. What exactly had yoiu in mind?

14:10:56 <sbp> clsn: right, now imagine you want five or something though
14:11:11 <sbp> for which bendy of ten would surely be more reasonable wouldn't it?
14:11:20 <sbp> it'd say that they're meant to be equidistant
14:11:22 <sbp> that's the nub
14:11:26 <sbp> or the rub. or the crux
14:11:29 <clsn> Five works too. Though pyBlazon would definitely fail on it.
14:11:43 * sbp feeds in or two bars sable each charged with a sword fesswise argent
14:11:51 <clsn> Well, {or five bars} usually does wind up being more or less equidistant.
14:12:00 <clsn> It'll work with the swords, becaue they're so skinny.
14:12:14 <clsn> But I don't have the scaling set properly for on bars, so if you use annulets or something you'll see it's a fail.
