Walls

[frankthe butler]

i actually have no idea about modding.

i think this thread is getting out of hand. It's getting Way out of Control!!
people need to settle down.. and just stay calm; everyone needs to just tell themselves: i am in control, in control of everyone else. this thread is wild!

It's ok. Nobody's freaking out. I just figure posting to CFC is better than working. Besides, the only way to really tell whether an idea is good is to follow it to its logical conclusion. English is vague and imprecise; it can make a bad idea sound good and a good idea sound bad. That's why programming is hard; you have to take something ambiguously stated at a very high level and turn it into something specified very precisely. My exercise above was just a sketch of that process in order to communicate a point in a different, hopefully more successful, way than before.

stop the MADNESS!!!
if we keep this up, one of us is going to get banned!
let's just agree to disagree. this is what i think walls should do:
[[I think the goal should be for walls and fortresses to make it harder to attack, but not impossible. The goal with a wall is to slow down an attacker so you can gather your resources. The goal with a fortress is to stop your attacker.]]
Of course my model was harder; it's like 7,1/2 times harder. but i just don't think your perscription for walls is what walls, in my mind, should do.
as to all your other arguments: ... no.
now let's keep our heads. fortheloveof GOD!

I really do not understand why frank is freaking out. At first I assumed it was satire, and maybe it still is. Otherwise I agree with brinko's simple but elegant statement.

[frankthe butler]

yeah, i was just kidding around. that 3 sentence clip i keep repeating about what i think walls should do, i actually stole from apatheists post a while back and never attributed it, passing it off as my own, but no one seemed to notice.

I figured it was an accident.
