ModCast #18: "Mesoamerican Galleons"

[phungus420]

Wow, I was trashed, I'm surprised that post is even remotely coherent.

Dan, if someone on the internet, says you were being a dushe, didn't even call you a dusche, just said you were acting like one, and you get offended, you're being a bit sensative, and I'm sorry if I caused you emotional anguish. Also my head really hurts. I still stand by what I said, it would be cool to hear Blake talk about AI. Also Refar is really nice, and always helps out new modders, and probably has his fingers in 70% of the mods hear, you all might consider having him on as well. Oh my god my head hurts, this sucks.

didn't even call you a dusche, just said you were acting like one,..

That's a pretty fine distinction for those of us who aren't fluent in "u" generation. I only knew because I did a little research.

Given the context of what you were saying, phungus420, I presumed the "d" word in question though not spelled correctly was intended to be insulting. I did not experience any anguish nor was I offended. I was perplexed as to why you resorted to name calling. I also wanted to clarify a possible part I may have played in a misunderstanding (that is, my originally referring to Civ4Col while you were referring to BtS).

I accept your apology and, moreover, the explanation that as a result of communicating while intoxicated the context of your message came across as hostile though that was not its intent. (Thanks to you, cephalo, for your related analysis as well.) I consider the matter resolved.

Now, let's shift the focus back to being more on-topic: phungus420, what did you think of this episode of MC?

You're welcome Dan. I spent about a year playing World of Warcraft, and in that world, 'being' a douchebag and 'are' a douchebag are two very different nuances. Once I saw your reaction, I figured I'd better jump in.

yeah and from what i have heard, blake won't be heard from anymore, as he is now a buddhist monk.

 

[DanQ]

... he is now a buddhist monk.

This is true.

There is actually a very good book by Orson Scott Card that covers the issue of Galleons and the Mesoamerican empire. Its called Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus. Its a very interesting read and has a very challenging ending.
