But, it isn't necessarily specifically related to a map. The players need to succeed at 6 actions that would plausibly aid them in achieving their goal, before 3 things go wrong. Going from point A to point B on the map might be a success. But so might putting together a disguise, or getting...

I have no idea who feylin or garter folk are, so I cannot speak to them, specifically. But, I can try to address some of the core question here, and I'm going to try to do so without reading the 11 intervening pages that already came up today - so please pardon if I cover ground someone else...

Mod note: And I really feel like you are the poster who, after three mod warnings and a couple of threadbans, still figures making it personal is a good idea. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

Mod Note: A couple folks have gotten threadbanned recently... The site owner himself warned people about being constructive... And what comes to your mind is... being snarky? Please do that again if you are bucking to be the next person threadbanned. Everyone: Respectful. Kind...

Mod Note: And, your own rants against how people posting....? I already warned you before about how you were addressing people, but you continue to attack folks. So, you're done in this discussion. I suggest you not follow this pattern in other discussions either - if you want to attack...

No, that's not a problem. We've been dealing with that in quantum mechanics for decades, and do experiments just fine. Which is why you don't start with the conception. You start with the observable phenomenon. It would first look like dropping the assumption that all self-reported...

And, more on bad actors.. Subtext: if you are doing crime, don't click the "share" button... https://futurism.com/leaked-chatgpt-lawyer-displace-amazonian

That's nonsensical. By that logic, we could not discover new things without knowing what they were beforehand. You do know that you don't generally try to prove negatives, right? There's problems with scope, and non-falsifiablity there.

The way to answer "are ghosts real?" Is not to pick thing, call it a ghost, and determine if it is real. The proper process would be to pick a phenomenon, determine if it is real, determine what caused it, and if what caused it is a ghost, then ghosts are real. If you find it was real, and a...

Classification comes after study, not before. Allow your investigation to answer the question, rather than prejudice the study with a preconceived notion.

A timeline is just a map of time, rather than a map of physical space, in which case this reduces to a form of map and key. With respect, it is the norm - the average, usual, or typical way rpgs have been and are currently played. Norms are a matter of statistics, not design philosophy. When...

Sure, but that first generation was short. Current estimates are that, in our own galaxy, in the galaxy's habitable zone, there are tens of billions of G-type stars like our sun, with rocky worlds in the star's habitable zone. And, on average, those other stars and their planets are a billion...

Why should we expect players to want their groups to be disparate levels? What is the benefit to them?

So, to be clear - 1) That isn't what happened in the events spoken of in the video clip. It was a manufactured scenario, not really autonomous or spontaneous action, and no real damage was done in that test. 2) Technically, the computer isn't breaking the law, as it isn't a person. That'd be...

It depends on what kind of game is being run, I suppose. But my initial reaction is that major power differences usually lead to dynamics in play that I find unsatisfying.

Mod Note: And now you are making the argument personal. There's several reasons one might do this - but none of them are about having a polite and rational discussion about a D&D subclass. So, I'm going to ask you to not make any more pointed personal jabs or attacks, please and thanks.

And, we haven't even gotten to Roko's Basilisk.

Well, note that the various AI companies are not yet profitable. They are still dependent on getting investors to continue to give them money. If they stop hyping the tech, they are out of a job. Saying it can destroy the world is about as big as hype can get...

They normally do. But, this is also a species that produced the "Jackass" franchise, so...

So, yes, extended infancy and childhood is a result of that big brain. But, again, there's no selection pressure against it unless it causes death before successful reproduction. Meanwhile, the human population of the planet has tripled in the last 75 years - our big brains mean too many kids...
