Attacko's Ice Archers

[Insanity_X]

you know something, I've actually learned something from this thread. I've learned that Trattacko isn't being serious when he's talking about amphibious elephants, archer rushes, tundra infested capitals, 'quadratic venn diagrams', colour theory, babylonian manouvers, and building a barracks before a worker. Trattacko, I salute you.

 

[Antilogic]

Fact- Attacko is oft times referred to as "the Tal of Civ4"

Best Attacko quote (not attributed to somebody else) ever.

 

[Kornaki]

Huh I thought a module was like a ring but doesn't require a multiplicative identity (even numbers form a module under addition and multiplication)???

You're thinking of an ideal maybe. Other examples of ideals include the Ice Archer Opening™ and Power Scouting®

Best Attacko quote (not attributed to somebody else) ever.

I disagree and still like:

"Great wall is to espionage as pyramids are to stupid people".

I must have missed that one. It's even better.

Yeah that's what I was thinking of.

Attacko and Ideal Theory would be the superior.

"I am not afraid of any player.... the worse it can happen is losing"

losing isn't the worst thing that can happen when facing the wiley Attacko.
it is the "crying home to mama" afterwards

rings-interconnections- the sciences have been reduced to model making.

which is why one can read about "modules" and factorization in a college course or while making a Deer driven chariot as a new unit in the Civ4 custom Creation threads.

Fact- the natural sciences have been castrated by the likes of scientists as computer modelers using other's data to basically make bad art. (as oppossed to like actually walking outside and looking at nature, as does Attacko who watched a hornet and developed "The Spear Sting" tactic. (spear rush from a mountain city first build)

Fact- Picasso- "art is a lie that attempts to tell the truth"
"Models are just a lie that look good when you melt them with fire and blow them up with firecrackers" Attacko

Fact-not observation, interpretation, nor dissection- the intersection is not god living in the details- rather a demon repeating itself, vapid, and yet -correct.

 

[Insanity_X]

the sciences have been reduced to model making.

Trattacko, I know you're just messing around but you do realise that science, is all about model making (to cite examples in all three areas: how enzymes work, how bonds are formed and the structure of atoms) the models that we use now are based on experimental data (e.g. we know that an atom is mostly empty because you can fire helium nuclei (alpha particles) through a gold leaf), and are basically guesses that explain their findings.

 

[troytheface]

wrongo.

Tainter- (the rise and fall of civilizations - or something like that-)
disaster looms when the creative elite stop being creative and are simply elite- using brains to hold onto power moreso then innovation.

perpetuating the model and the notion of model building as production- thus the emperor's clothing seems in style..

I suggest the space around the model is more relevant to accuracy.
In civ4 terms - "Better to have three War Elephants with Flanking then an analysis of a cottage" - Attacko

 

[r_rolo1]

So ,what is attacko IP for a play? Or he has gone home crying to mommy because he was beaten by a cottage lover?

 

[troytheface]

last i heard he retired and is a monk drawing venn diagrams and feeding animals.

i think the monestary has one of the nails that was used to crucify jesus in the christian story,
and tourists coming to buy bread are shown this relic and given a copy of "Attacko's Strategy Guide"

 

[Stewie0416]

This is getting ridicules. Can a mod please just close attackos treads and ban him please. I'm getting sick of him.

 

[Kornaki]

attacko is actually verifying the inherent venn dynamic model is the superior to all artificial man-made models.

 

[Lone Wolf]

last i heard he retired and is a monk drawing venn diagrams and feeding animals.

So he went the route of Blake?

 

[Yamps]

You mean Blake went Attacko's route.

What forces you to read his threads ?

 

[Antilogic]

This is getting ridicules. Can a mod please just close attackos treads and ban him please. I'm getting sick of him.

This thread hasn't diverged any more than the average thread on this forum, and nobody's forcing you to click on the obvious Attacko threads which are labeled with his name!

Please leave us our entertainment.

Pablo Picasso - Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

/FTFY

 

[Ghpstage]

Just think. Where would we be without attacko's willingness to share his endless knowledge?

 

[troytheface]

thank you for the comments and for the picasso quote correction - pretty close for memory tho ya gotta admit)

may have some screen shots of "The Speaman Sting" which references predictive civ4 play.

(ie- move that starting settler three times? and a build atop of bronze that happens to be there?
magic? no, Attacko!)
