Yeah, I thought you were talking about revisiting high school chemistry, lol.Quote:

I would do it :p, if i would have oficial flags/symbols for the Coalition of Demolitionsquid and the Aliance of Archerofaiur. :pQuote:

Lol they rivaly has been going on for almost a year now, and it's about time to make things clear:D
If a mod reads this i'm JK;)
Im for it. Provided we spell my team's name correctly (Alliance). By the way I think Legion of Demo is much cooler than a coalition. I mean really whens the last time a coalition accomplished anything?Quote:

And you would both introduce yourself , in your style (overacting and dramatizing, roleplaying);)
But i think that Demo wouldn't want to participate.
Actually I think Alliance of Aiur and Demo Squad sounds even cooler :D
It doesn't matter.
Mr. Rogers would win anyway.

Oh, and Geodesic domes: I think they're the only structure to get stronger as they get bigger.
Even funner fact: SkyNet divides up territory and maps it with a fractal hexagonal grid. The hexagons are at least a hundred kilometers in area at the macro scale, and as small as half a meter across in the micro scale. Each hexagon is usually tagged with one or more identifying features via satellite imaging before a campaign against the Resistance commences.
Well, iirc, the reflective pattern on Wraiths, Ghosts, and Banshees is hexagonal, the Bubble Shield uses hexagons, and don't get me started on Forerunner architecture...Quote:

EDIT: This is mildly off topic, but noteworthy, I was eating a nature valley Sweet/salty bar while posting here, and I noticed that when you peel off the wrapper it leaves an imprint in the peanut butter. The imprint is, in fact, hundreds of tiny hexagons which can only be seen under the right light! I think it's a conspiracy.
Really? I don't think so. Mostly since a hex breaks down into a minimum of four co-planar triangles. That's an awful waste of triangles, when they could be better used as non-co-planar triangles in a regular triangular approximation. If I were trying to roughly approximate a sphere with triangles, a hex is really the wrong way to go.Quote:

For Civ V, I think it's more about being able to make a truly spherical world. You can't have equal-sized squares that form a sphere. Whereas you can have equal-sized hexes (with a few heptagons here and there) that form a sphere.Quote:

Also, for any board-game, or board-game-like game, it's faster to move diagonally on squares than horizontally and vertically. On hexes, all directions are the same (though there are fewer of them). So it's a bit more direction-agnostic.
Hahaha you are fuckin kiddin me...Quote:

Im telling you "Alliance of Aiur" and "Demo Squad" :DQuote:

Alliance of Aiur is now recruiting if Demo wants to set up his team.
Historically, the psycogeometricisms of human idealism have been driven by the notions of the Masculine square, representing order, reason, and Apollonian art, consistent with the themes of the male sexuality, and the Feminine circle, representing fluidity, grace, and Dionysian art. Aesthetics has long strove for a convergence between the conflicting ideals, and harmonious integration of the two forms.
The Alien Hexagon of popular sci-fi is realization of this ideal, representing something entirely alien that if defies the realm of human, it is a the embodiment of sexless carnality, abysmal beauty through mathematical precision, reiterated only in our nature in the profoundly alien Honey Bee and its collective Hive mind, a buzzing clockwork of reproduction and sex, a utterly terrifying notion of a carnal beauty beyond our billinear comprehension, bound through the distinctively disparate sexes. It is in itself, utterly alien to us, terrifying its is profound beauty and splendor, ascribed to Alien races who possess the sexless grace of creation, of contradiction, the apex of wanton beauty that defies classification.
/creepyface.
tl;dr
idfk lol
Sorry just felt like writing that. For a visual aesthetics/sexual philosophy analysis instead of the whole geometric viewpoint. I like it more.
(no Noobonic plague this isn't the excuse to start posting your zeratulxtassadar pics. plzno)
We can make this a rip-off from the Sin WarQuote:

They went to Sanctuary (Men's World) cloaked in disguise to convince humans into their side. Many men rose to fight in either side...
So Archer and Demo are Heaven and Hell and we are the humans that are persuaded to their sides. I say Demo is Hell and Archer is Heaven.
The bubble shield is hexagonal as well as a lot of surfaces. If you look closely at the elites body suits (not the armor but the membrane that covers their skin) it is also tons of little hexagons.Quote:

What is this thread even about anymore?
Not what it started out about, that's for dang sure.
It's about learning proper gameplay from nature.
See how Nicol's example shows A sending out a scout, B seeing the scout and providing false build information, A sending in the scout for harassment, then B's vast army ambushing A's scouts.
gg
It's just the orbitals mixing together. Organic chemistry is the worst shit ever though so don't worry about it. Your still in high school I assume? Trust me, what you are learning right now is nothing compared to what you could face at the University. Oh the nightmares I still have sometime when I think back about all those mechanisms and synthesis I had to learn by heart (and that I completely forgot about after the exams). Biochemistry is even worst. Can't believe some people get 100% in those shits. I guess they don't play starcraft much in their free time...Quote:

But as Dustin Browder once pointed out, "you don't need to be good at playing a game to design a good game." That's our beef: who could design SC2 better if given the chance.
I doubt im plat any more. Gold maybe. Havnt checked in a while. Been playing brothers account lately (and showing him the ropes in 2v2).Quote:

Maybe the radiation from all the explosions got to them and they could only understand hexagons?Quote:
