Generic Brainstorming!


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Re: Generic Brainstorming!

The wikipedia description of a fleam is of a medical or veterinary instrument rather than a weapon per se.

The fleam's special attack would be flensing.

Couldn't you just do it with a dagger, then? Maybe flensing should be a brand rather than a weapon property.

Could enable someone to make a living if whales were introduced to Shoals and some way of trading was identified.

You should be able to board a whaler in Shoals and sail around. If you find a white whale it will kill you.

There should certainly be a way for our young people to earn a living wage without being forced into undertaking humiliating and dangerous orb runs. We need to establish a sound economic base for our society. Whaling in the Shoals is one possible route towards that.

Exotic Pets Market (Lair + Snake best investment here)
Biopharmaceutical Research (Snake + Spider)
Entrepreneur (Sponsor bazaars for other Crawlers)
Bounty Hunter (I'm sure lots of criminals attempt to hide out in dungeon from time to time!)
Squire (Not the most glamorous, but hey)
Balloon salesman (the Vault 5 welcoming party is not sufficiently festive, there's a market there, I say!)
Petro-business (Cocytus probably has some beneath those arctic floes)
Moneylender (sorely needed for all adventurers!)

Of course, the SMART money would be in a different sort of trade...

THE RETURN OF THE LION:

"Wittgenstein rejects a variety of ways of thinking about what the meaning of a word is, or how meanings can be identified. He shows how, in each case, the meaning of the word presupposes our ability to use it. He first asks the reader to perform a thought experiment: to come up with a definition of the word "game".[10] While this may at first seem a simple task, he then goes on to lead us through the problems with each of the possible definitions of the word "game". Any definition which focuses on amusement leaves us unsatisfied since the feelings experienced by a world class chess player are very different from those of a circle of children playing Duck Duck Goose. Any definition which focuses on competition will fail to explain the game of catch, or the game of solitaire. And a definition of the word "game" which focuses on rules will fall on similar difficulties."

You should have ctrl-f'ed a bit farther down the page, you'd have found the more apposite this.

Anyway I think what Frau Aegis was getting at was the famous philosophical principle of analogia entis, or Entenanalogie, namely that if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it most assuredly is a duck (Ente in German).

Not only in Germany: http://www.kajstenvall.com/

@ Grimm: If you search "quack like a duck" in YouTube you'll see that in the post-everything period of western civilization many things can quack like duck. (I'm not going to link it here, I think it's too bad even for CYC, I don't understand everything in it and it's an old video anyways).

New unrandart:

The Barding of Bad Rings
Centaur Barding. Evoke to create bad rings. -1,-2 slaying, hunger, -4 intelligence, you name it. Rarely on evoke it will create bad artifact ring mail (i.e. it occasionally just copies Okawaru's gifting code).

New Item: Wörterbuch (Dictionary), or "Duden" (most popular german dictionary, everyone looks up spelling there)

You can evoke it, then it says a random german word, makes noise, and damages everything in your LOS, with a chance of fearing them.

I love seeing german words somewhere completely random, especially the funny ones^^

Also, not every Brustpanzer has nipples
Or panzers brusts/brüste
