Talk:Midgard (role-playing game)

message: "Midgard, in its 1985 edition, was the first role-playing game system that separated exhaustion points (Ausdauerpunkten) from hit points (Lebenspunkten)."
 
I don't think it is true. Tunnels and Trolls had fatigue (Strength) and hit points (Constitution) around 1975. Champions had Endurance (Energy level) and Constitution (hit points) around 1980. --Anacharsis 12:17, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Manuel Quimper

message: I'm originally from Sooke, so I was happy to see the Mount Manuel Quimper mention (beautiful place to go hiking, by the way) – but I recently came across a reference to another Mount Quimper near Clayoquot Sound. I don't know whether it's worth mentioning in the article, but I thought I'd leave the information here for anyone who's interested:

thread_title: Another Mount Quimper?

message: Much of the information in this article has come from the Eric Beerman article "Manuel Quimper: Un marino limeño en la costa oeste del Canadá" which I've only been able to find in Spanish. I've tried to get the main information from this article using my rudimentary knowledge of Spanish and the Babelfish translator, which was very confusing in some places. A review of that article by someone fluent in Spanish might catch some translation errors, especially when it comes to Spanish naval and military terms.

message: I hate to do this to an article I created and pretty much babied... but a raft of edits by an anonymous user have left the article in serious need of wikifying and POV. It's unacceptable to make statements along the lines of "The armiger is a rushed class" and the like. Unwilling to blanket revert good-faith contributions, and unable to fix the problems tonight (and busy with trying to figure out how to get the CVG workgroup to re-review the Doom 3 article when I'm not up to my eyeballs in classwork), I need to leave this in other contributors' capable hands for now.

Talk:Furry Pirates

message: I don't mean to contradict, but the Pyramid review is merely a sample, giving only background information on the game and irrelevant information about the reviewer discovering it.

message: What happened to the page numbers in the references? The footnotes have become useless, and verifiability non-existent, because page numbers are no longer cited. I know that when I added a few footnotes (the Nelson and Sullivan sources) they had page numbers; is there a reason why we no longer want this article to be verifiable? --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears User:Hurmata was rightly addressing the issue of the references not needing to be repeated in their entirety for subsequent uses, but the removal of the page numbers seems like a regression to me as well.

message: Dračí Doupě is not a book (it is a game), so I cannot see any reason why its notability should be measured with criterions for books.
It is easy to find many sources in Czech language not related to Altar (publisher of Dračí Doupě).
The Czech magazine "Šavlozubá veverka" (some info can be seen in http://pajuvdrd.wz.cz/veverka.htm) contains many articles about Dračí Doupě from many different authors.
Very many sources mention Dračí Doupě, for example:

There have been some tweaks and corrections, along with new art and page layouts,  in each subsequent printing (they're up to the sixth of the Player's Handbook), but there's been no full revision since its release. (Of course in real publishing, like college textbooks, the types of changes made in each printing would be called a new edition, but that term has a particular and peculiar meaning in RPG publishing indicating a major rules revision, which this game has noever undergone.) oknazevad (talk) 17:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

:And were the king on't, what would I do?
:I' the commonwealth I would by contraries
:Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
:Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
:Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
:And use of service, none; contract, succession,
:Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
:No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
:No occupation; all men idle, all:
:And women too, but innocent and pure;
:No sovereignty,
:All things in common nature should produce
:Without sweat or endeavour; treason, felony,
:Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine,
:Would I not have; but nature should bring forth,
:Of it own kind, all foison, all abundance,
:To feed my innocent people.

message: first a quote: "Daoists in return lived an anarchist lifestyle" ... anarchist lifestyle? What about anarcho-punks or punks in general. How can anyone relate the lifestyle of a Daoist with the lifestyle of those to groups? Beyond that Taoism wasnt an political ideology in the sense of the later anarchism, but more of, a lifestyle and a metaphysical and epistemological philosophy. Historicly Taoism was the state religion of China ... state religion!

thread_title:  Taoism and anarchism 

message: Zeno kept the individual in high regard, no doubt, but the groundings of his ethics is quite remarkable. If a person wants to be happy the only way to do this is through communion with the Logos (some kind of world spirit). And of course Zeno knew the way to do this! To not be oneself is the only way to be a part of nature, of the whole, and then you are wise and happy. Over and all both the part about Taoism and Zeno is taken from a positive perspective compared to anarchism. If we really want to identify these two with anarchism it should be both for what they have in common and what they do not. I guess the wikipedia article about Zeno isnt very precise so ill have to find sources to all of this (i dont know about the things he got in common with anarchism). The article about Taoism is on the other hand full of at least the parts that it hasnt got in common with anarchism. --Fjulle 10:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:RG color models

message: It would appear that there are several different RG color spaces, distinguished by how they handle blue as a function of red and green.
The article describes additive RG, which sets blue to 0 intensity.
But :Image:Anna May Wong holds child in The Toll of the Sea.jpg doesn't appear yellow throughout.
"Subtractive" RG would appear to set blue = red * green or the like.
The form of RG used in some anaglyph images is actually red-cyan, setting blue = green.

Talk:Adams chromatic valence color space

message: Since the scope has been enlarged to cover both "valence" and "value" scales, should we go one step further and rename the article "Adams-Nickerson scale", after mentioning Nickerson's contributions? It would be less of a mouthful, and more general. --Adoniscik(t, c) 00:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Article states that “Chromatic value/valence spaces are notable for incorporating the opponent process model”, but that's not the point with CIELUV. In the talks section on CIELUV (see Adams chromatic valence there) it is said that u'v' scales resemble “green-red” and “blue-yellow” simply by coincidence, not intentionally.
And there is still no clear explanation of how CIELUV implements Adams principles, — neither in CIELUV article nor in this one. 213.234.235.82 (talk) 12:10, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  CIELUV and opponent process 

message: The content of this article is a poor match for its title. Adams's notion of color valence is significant, and vital for understanding some of the color spaces still in use. Why, then, is more of the article devoted to color value, a different topic? If color value is important (I believe it is), it should have an article as well (as I believe it should).
Mention of the factor of 2.5 is irrelavant here, as is the entire discussion on color value.
