Starting a new thread partly to keep from further hijacking the other one, but really because it was time for another self-titled thread, you know?
Hm, yes, right. I don't recall making _that_ law, but I could have been drinking at the time.
Anyway, fie on you for thinking that there was only the third law and no first or second laws. Of course there are first and second laws, they just tend to change places over time.
Hong's 1st law: "It's only the other people who are munchkins"
Hong's 2nd law: Thinking too hard about fantasy is bad" (corollary: "you can find a handwave for anything"; rejoinder to corollary: "some handwaves are better than others")
Hong's 3rd law: "Any sufficiently widespread magic is indistinguishable from technology"
The exact ordering of laws 1, 2, and 3 is rather vague, but that's okay, because 1 == 2 == 3 for large values of 1 and small values of 3.
Gez said:I doubt Hong has made more laws than the third.
Anyway, googling for hong laws, I found that.
Look the signature of that Nuray guy.
I think it all somewhat fits. The law, the linked forum's topic, and Hong's nature.
