What is your opinion on these matters? 00:39:16 0 = 0 00:39:48 ion: True, but too simple. 00:40:14 I am skeptical but can think of two possible reasons which can allow it to work sometimes. 00:40:27 (I am not counting such things as fluke) 00:42:07 Some people say that sports prediction from the variation of latency in pinging google.com works better than personal prediction from that. 00:43:49 The two reasons I am think of: (1) psychological effect (such as superstitious people's belief in such things), and (2) lighting conditions (considering house positions on horoscopes). 00:44:05 -!- DHeadshot has joined. 00:45:29 Now what will you answer to this? (Simply saying it is good or it is bad, is not the good answer; you must critical thinking too) 00:52:27 zzo38: I think the position of the Sun might potentially matter, but the positions of other heavenly bodies are unlikely to be even visible during the game 00:52:56 ais523: True. About lighting conditions, yes it is the Sun which I was refering to. 00:53:37 and directly looking at the time and date would be more direct than going via horoscope 00:54:21 ais523: Sunrise/sunset and so on change for different days and different locations, there are also timezones which are not always same as solar time, and then there is daylight saving time, etc 00:54:31 indeed 00:54:34 I meant true local time 00:54:37 not local time from timezone 00:54:45 OK 00:55:08 timezones are only approximations intended to standardise time across a country, so that people a long way from each other can communicate about time 00:55:14 they came about when railways became popular 00:55:26 before then, long-distance communication and travel wasn't fast enough for the time differences to matter 00:55:30 but everyone needed to agree on train times 00:56:13 OK, I didn't know that but yes it seem good 00:56:25 To predict anything about a game based on the position of the Sun, you’ll certainly need the angle of the playfield relative to the Sun as input as well. 00:59:35 ion: aren't playfields usually flat? 00:59:42 but you'd need to know latitude and longitude and altitude 00:59:50 to calculate the angle 01:05:17 The sun will potentially shine more in the eyes of one team than the other, or perhaps illuminate both equally from the side. 01:05:18 It may help also to know rules of the game. 01:05:31 ion: Yes those are my thoughts too. 01:05:51 So you can’t make predictions just based on “horoscopes” that don’t take stuff like that into account. 01:06:59 A horoscope chart will include the houses, showing you the ascendant and midheaven and so on. You need to know the location and the date/time to calculate house positions. 01:07:14 lol @ linus https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-5654674 01:07:32 Of course you need to take things into account; a raw horoscope chart will simply tell you the positions and aspects. 01:11:34 So that is lighting conditions; the Mars and other planets are extremely unlikely to affect such things. But, psychological effect of people believing in superstitious things based on these planets may effect decisions of some superstitious players. 01:16:37 Another thing which can potentially affect lighting conditions is a solar eclipse. There are three objects on the horoscope related to eclipses: the Sun, the Moon, and the North Node. I have heard the story of a king who was frightened to death by a solar eclipse. This is unlikely to happen today, but eclipses can still happen. 01:28:54 -!- xander345 has joined. 01:29:03 i come bearing good news 01:32:28 ah well cya 01:32:33 -!- xander345 has quit (Client Quit). 01:32:54 There is no news. 01:54:27 zzo38 01:54:34 give me all your money, this is a stick-up 01:58:48 -!- Lumpio- has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 02:02:47 -!- Lumpio- has joined. 02:20:07 -!- DHeadshot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 02:20:11 -!- DH____ has joined. 02:28:37 -!- david_werecat has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds). 02:30:24 cheater__: No 02:33:36 ow :( ok 02:43:47 -!- azaq23 has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 02:45:05 Is Phantom_Hoover alive? 02:53:20 Sgeo: are you able to see the video on this site? http://www.intuit.ru/department/mathematics/imathanalysis/14/ 02:57:00 cheater__, what video 02:57:30 there should be a video there, do you see one? 02:57:38 Ugh, do I have to unblock flash sitewide for this 02:57:50 no i don't think so 02:57:54 i didn't have to 02:58:16 1 sec 02:59:19 this one works right? http://www.intuit.ru/department/mathematics/angeom/1/ 03:19:40 Yes. 03:19:55 However, it should be noted that I do not speak Russian. 04:11:46 Not even Russians speak Russian. 04:12:00 Russian is actually Newspeak. 04:12:36 Sgeo: thanks 04:13:26 ?? 04:41:57 thanks for checking it 04:43:24 definitely this week's higlight: i flame a n00b and he comes back and says he's sorry. 04:45:21 -!- asiekierka has joined. 04:45:56 -!- augur has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 04:55:42 -!- pikhq has joined. 04:56:12 -!- pikhq_ has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 05:07:33 -!- Patashu has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 05:09:44 Idea.

I don't see it going in between. 05:45:40 And, yeah, Time Spiral was glorious. 05:53:50 apparently it was unpopular sales-wise, though 05:53:55 compared to the sets around it 05:54:54 i had a dream that satan worshippers and some sort of vampire enthusiasts were holding a joint meeting, and the vampire dudes were reading stories from their vampire bible (presumably written by charlaine harris) 05:56:51 I like the puzzle games for Magic: the Gathering, and figuring out reactions between existing and possible card texts, and playing in Limited tournaments 05:58:13 for some reason, the vampire dudes had a crusifix from which they drank blood (and occasionally it was wine) and another crusifix that played scary music. 06:00:23 ais523: Well, it did come between Ravnica and Lorwyn. 06:00:37 pikhq: Lorwyn's the reason I stopped playing Magic 06:00:43 And, unfortunately, as a nostalgia set it would have somewhat less general appeal. 06:00:53 and I had nothing to be nostalgic about, I started with Ninth Edition 06:01:14 Still, Time Spiral was a delightful set, design-wise. 06:01:17 I just liked it mechanically 06:03:23 Also, why did *Lorwyn* make you stop playing Magic? 06:03:36 didn't like the flavour, didn't like the mechanics, didn't like the focus on creatures 06:03:49 So... Not a big tribal fan? 06:04:04 I like Slivers, but I don't like tribal for the sake of tribal 06:04:55 Surprised it wasn't Shards that did it. (seriously, *six fucking years* of multicolor in Standard?) 06:05:06 shards just persuaded me not to come back :) 06:09:07 I think the focus on creatures recently has turned me off Magic somewhat 06:11:50 Ah, you're one of those people that does things like break Tamiyo. :P http://magiccards.info/avr/en/79.html 06:12:19 -!- asiekierka has quit (Quit: Wychodzi). 06:12:31 oh, I was wrong, it was /planeswalkers/ that turned me off Magic 06:12:35 forgot those existed, bleh 06:13:10 only reason I wasn't raging during Future Sight was that I assumed that Tarmogoyf's flavour text was a joke 06:13:14 (which it could have been, quite easily) 06:14:08 huh, Avacyn Restored is a large? I assumed it was a small set 06:14:10 If it makes you feel better, most planeswalkers are little more than a Lightning Bolt sink. 06:14:18 Yeah, it was a weird block-ending large set. 06:15:06 and planeswalkers being a lightning bolt sink ties into why I don't like creatures so much 06:15:27 I don't mind simple creatures, but I prefer the creatures to sit there on the battlefield and do, at most, combat tricks 06:16:04 while the players maneouver around them with their instants and sorceries and enchantments trying to give one side the advantage over the other, either by gaining combat advantage with creatures, or directly 06:16:54 And they've been making creatures do more largely in hopes of making tournament decks actually run creatures. 06:17:13 Kinda-sorta worked. 06:17:32 Though the recent Pro Tour winning deck only ran any creatures in sideboard. 06:17:47 Just a giant pile of miracle spells and cantrips. 06:18:06 haha :) 06:18:18 purpose of creatures is to stop you dying to red 06:18:48 UPDATE, UPDATE, give me your answer do 06:18:55 hi 06:19:21 or even white or green, arguably, but the strategy's most commonly seen in red 06:19:40 (that of just putting down lots of cheap creatures early and overrunning the opponent before they can set up whatever they were going to do) 06:19:57 Planeswalkers end up having very different feel to me in formats where Doubling Season is legal. 06:20:22 Tamiyo now reads "3{U}{U}: You get an emblem with "You have no maximum hand size" and "Whenever a card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you may return it to your hand."" 06:20:27 :) 06:20:36 pikhq, do you play MtG online, and if so, where and how? 06:20:45 Sgeo: I play MtG IRL. 06:21:34 to play it online "officially", you have to pay as much money as it'd cost to get the cards otherwise 06:21:40 pikhq: *two emblems :) 06:21:49 (I know it doesn't work on emblems, but it /should/) 06:21:56 ais523, and thus, no desire on my part to play MtGO 06:21:59 -!- Patashu has joined. 06:22:00 indeed 06:22:03 nor mine 06:22:12 Do people like Cockatrice? 06:22:18 the physical cards are actually worth something for the art design, IMO, apart from the game (although not as much as they cost) 06:22:36 I happen to dislike many of the rules in Magic: the Gathering 06:22:55 I also prefer Limited format games over Constructed 06:25:40 I don't think they need emblems, tribals, state-based effects causing tokens to cease to exist, rule that a land card cannot be played as its other types, etc. There are better ways to write the rules to avoid these things. 06:26:19 “A lot of people still confuse Austria and Australia, I hope this makes it clear.” https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OE9rTUfHE8k/T6_yazqUw0I/AAAAAAAAA8I/jvMOuw0z_tA/w497-h373/Jda6h.jpg 06:35:44 We can make up the new game, based on Magic: the Gathering but with differences, including that you do not have to purchase the cards (you can also print them out or write them out, or play by computer; you don't have to pay). As well as making the standard game Limited instead of Constructed. 06:41:26 Well, there's a reason for the whole purchasing the cards thing: So WotC makes money 06:59:00 Yes, I understand. But, we make up new game it is differ, not using the old cards therefore not using old compatibility rules either. Someone can sell cards if they want to but is not required to play game. Or you can write puzzle-game too. But rules are many differences nevertheless. 07:17:17 zzo38: Of the tournament formats, Limited is quite a lot better IMO. 07:17:42 It's both more fun and a much better test of skill than Constructed. 07:18:09 Not to mention it completely avoids rich-kid syndrome. 07:18:38 Which is by far the worst part of Magic. 07:18:45 I actually prefer Constructed, especially when I'm beating the world's best decks with ones that I can afford 07:19:09 sometimes with flukes, but it's still amusing 07:19:49 I tend to do vintage casual constructed (okay, so most of my decks are modern too, because I'm cheap. :P) 07:20:25 Really, Magic is at its best in casual play... 07:22:25 Friggin' rarity-directly-mapping-to-usefulness. 07:23:23 It might be good business, but it also warps the game into a contest of money. 07:30:04 pikhq: And that kind of contest about money is one things I dislike about it. And your thing you describe also why Limited is better I agree that Limited is better in that (and other) way. 07:44:47 pikhq: rarity mapping to usefulness is partly to accommodate Limited by making drafting first-picks more important 07:45:09 but it might be more interesting the other way, where cards only useful in Constructed are placed at rare to avoid them impinging on Limited too much 07:47:10 -!- Taneb has joined. 07:47:33 ais523: I agree with you on that; I do think that setting the rarity of cards in that way might improve the game (it could be partially tried to see what happen, I suppose). 07:47:46 Hello 07:48:25 the problem with the rarities at the moment is mythic, really 07:49:07 they're trying to make exciting cards powerful, but also tend to put exciting cards at mythic (so that getting them is /more/ exciting, and to make booster packs more valuable because people will have to open more of them to get single cards that they can sell on to people who want them) 07:50:11 Yes these are the many problems with the game, relating to the cards. There are problems with the rules too, but there are also problems with the cards like you are describing. 07:51:45 ais523: Agreed, strongly. Also, I feel like rarity should be more a function of how general a card is. Something like Birds of Paradise should be common, not rare. 07:52:03 pikhq: currently specific cards are consistently placed at uncommon 07:52:24 which sort-of makes sense for limited, because a specific card can be drafted around 07:52:41 especially if it's specific and also one of the set's main mechanics 07:52:49 Yeah... General is common or rare, specific is uncommon, and anything "big" is rare, and anything awesome is mythic rare. 07:53:40 Cavern of Souls should not be rare. 07:53:48 http://magiccards.info/avr/en/226.html BTW 07:53:54 what about One with Nothing? people hated that being rare 07:54:01 I guess if all rares were like that it wouldn't matter 07:54:23 If it's a card that nearly every deck wants, it shouldn't be friggin' rare. 07:58:12 common or uncommon, in your opinion? 07:58:25 arguably it's narrow, but it's so customizably narrow it fits into most decks 07:58:46 (which is apparently deliberate; apparently, they needed to nerf Mana Leak due to a mistake in balancing Snapcaster Mage) 07:58:49 One with Nothing, depends on what the rest of the set's doing. 07:59:04 Cavern of Souls? Common. 07:59:05 Well, if you manage to get One with Nothing in your deck for some reason such as drafting and so on, then, if it is in your hand, and then it is useful to you then please play this card. 08:00:09 It's something you'll be happy to play in any deck that happens to weigh towards a single creature type. 08:00:26 Which even in the absence of specific tribal effects, is reasonably common. 08:00:31 I guess another example is dual land, which should be common (but putting it at rare is obviously better for revenue) 08:00:51 Dual lands are really good examples of this. 08:01:19 If I am playing with two colors, I want duals out the wazoo. I want to pretend duals are basic lands. 08:02:13 $100 *mana bases* are a fucking joke. 08:02:19 right 08:02:29 my best deck is five-color combo 08:02:37 and it basically contains all the dual lands I own 08:02:55 That *in specific* presents a gigantic barrier to entry for tournaments. 08:02:57 (I move them between decks when I need them, obviously, rather than having separate lands for separate decks) 08:04:07 It's plausible that by doing this WotC could make *more* money, actually... 08:04:16 By having more people play and more people play in tournaments. 08:04:47 I have a sneaking suspicion the rarity issues end up driving people off the game. 08:05:09 Make Limited the standard game. 08:06:28 limited is even worse, then you have to buy booster packs every game you play 08:07:33 And mythics only make it worse, really: I can't realistically play planeswalkers without either paying through the nose for a playset or buying *several boxes*? That's just shitty. 08:09:20 ais523: But Limited is a better game anyways. Perhaps if you can put the cards back in the shuffle and make up random packs at the tournament, do not need to purchase (and print!) new cards every time. 08:09:47 even when not worrying about the cost, I prefer Constructed, but perhaps that's more to do with the sort of games I like 08:10:59 I prefer Limited regardless of cost, but you play how you prefer. 08:11:11 ais523: My preference for limited is almost exclusively due to balance. 08:12:39 The game's balanced around either limited or assuming everyone has $500 a block to blow. 08:12:46 s/block/set/ 08:13:50 Or, well, assuming everyone involved is on an equal financial footing, really. 08:14:06 Black Lotus is balanced if everybody's got one. :P 08:15:29 -!- sebbu2 has joined. 08:15:29 -!- sebbu2 has quit (Changing host). 08:15:29 -!- sebbu2 has joined. 08:15:41 -!- derdon has joined. 08:17:50 pikhq: I'm not convinced; budget decks can often get quite close to the best non-budget decks 08:19:02 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 08:19:54 ais523: http://magiccards.info/mbs/en/99.html Deal with that in pauper why don't you.

(and red isn't allowed to get card advantage from it unless its hand is empty) 08:32:26 Obviously, not doable without basically rebalancing every single part of the game though.

It is widely used in Indonesia and Malaysia as a food flavouring and spice. Lesser galangal is native to China, growing mainly on the southeast coast. It is also grown in India and the rest of South East Asia. Although barely used in Europe today, both galangals were formerly imported in great quantity, as medicine and spice. 12:14:42 fuck 12:14:49 there are people who snuff galangal 12:14:51 i brewed ginger beer a few times 12:14:55 that's gotta be unhealthy 12:14:55 i wonder if you could make galangal beer 12:15:00 i bet you could 12:15:07 after all it's not like real beer is it 12:15:14 not really 12:15:38 so kmc my next project might be with the yii php web framework 12:15:45 try to pronounce it 12:15:47 "yii" 12:16:15 you just like make a strong ginger tea, put sugar and yeast in, and let it sit a couple of days 12:16:29 haha 12:16:40 actually sounds like disgusting shit 12:16:42
