Bought it from Steam for $20. Was feeling rich. Now I've gotta read up on the Wiki so I know what's going on. Are there servers for noobs?

Day 12: Public denied access to structure - huge amounts of lead found in the paint. Day 16: Chinese government outlaws national news crews from the surrounding area. Day 18: All workers from the project have gone missing. Day 20: Wall panels fall off - were attached with gorilla glue. Day 27: Screws recalled to factory - made with radioactive materials. Day 30: Metallic frame collapses. And they will call it the Happy One Month Great Tower.

I'm thinking about buying this game. Is it worth the $20? Pros/cons? Also, I've noticed some weekends it's only $10 on Steam, does this happen regularly? Lastly, got any tips for a TF newbie? Thanks for any advice.

I'm probably a bit too late if you've already done what they said, but it's a bad idea. That's the best way to escalate the situation, especially with everyone involved being very emotional and impulsive at this time. You need to settle down and let them alone, and return to trying to contact her after things have died down. I would probably sleep on it, then maybe around 9:00 the next morning (from whenever that 10:00 pm was) call the house, and whoever answers say you left it sort of suddenly last night and were wondering if everything was all right. Be respectful to the father, and even submissive if necessary, because you want him to like you if he is going to remain in the house. The only long term solution, however, is to remove him. If he is really as abusive as you make it sound, you should have no problem dealing with school guidance, law enforcement, court, whoever. Really, the only issue here is treading carefully and communicating with everyone involved (talk to the mother about how it is unsafe to raise a daughter with this guy), as it's a very delicate issue.

InstantAction has officially gone under. This is a sad, sad day. It was nice to have the day off, though. I spent Veterans' Day sleeping.

The comments made me lol. :lol: [hide=here's one of them] They just find the idea of being a total sexist humorous. It satirizes men more than it does women imo. People are not fans of the behavior, just of the jokes enclosed. You really are taking it too seriously, one of the main negative stereotypes about feminists is that they get enraged about insignificant things like this and cannot take a joke, something you seem to embody. Hence the classic joke: How many radical feminists does it take to change the light bulb? A: One! And it's NOT FUNNY! [/hide] Personally, I think that men and women aren't equal. In the United States, I'd even go so far as saying that women have it better than men (especially when women commit crimes -- I have plenty of stories where women get far less time than men do for committing the same crime). Women don't get paid less today, assuming they work as hard and give the same commitment to their job and have the same qualifications. If this person were really concerned about women's rights and not just getting angry over something so trivial, then she would be campaigning against the disgusting treatment towards women in places like Africa, China, and the Middle East. That's the problem I have with most feminists. They're not pro-equality, they're pro-women. There comes a point in the quest for perfect equality where we encounter the limits of reality. The truth is, people are different. Tall people are better at basketball, Asians have squinty eyes, women are less athletic and more conformist, and the French are gay. True equality comes not from making people the same, but acknowledging our differences and accepting them.

My school band played a version of this for last year's spring concert. 'Twas epic.

I completely understand what you're saying here, but the problem is the word "infinite". If they type for an infinite amount of time, they would never stop until they did type it. Therefore, they can't not type it in infinite time, because the time wouldn't end and you wouldn't be able to look at it and say they didn't do it - so, while they may not type it in billions of years, they would not not type it, by the definition of infinity. Flip a coin, show them the result. Listen to the responses? Of course, doesn't work if I can only ask one. One will always lie, one will always tell the truth, one goes both ways, so the odd answer out is bound to be from one of the consistent ones, as there are only two possible responses. Alternatively, This. Nice thinking, but you can only ask one, and it has to be a question. By the way, in that guard thing, you could just ask each guard "What color are you", or, if the rules are more like those in the princess puzzle, ask only one guard what color he is. It's the third, random variable that makes the equation difficult. which one can make sammiches the best. is how i would choose. and here is my one question. The 3 sisters are lined up in a random order (so i have no idea who is telling the truth or not) Sister A on the left. Sister B in the middle. And sister C on the right. I would ask Sister A, if Sister B is a good sammich maker or is Sister C a bad sammich maker. If the answer is "yes", marry sister B; otherwise marry sister C. What if Sister A is the liar/ the random one, and then you would be marrying a bad sandwich maker. It makes me shiver just to think about it.

Um. Some types of clementines and apples and pears can be delicious (in that order). I have never had an orange I would describe as "delicious". Maybe I just need to visit Georgia or something.

Bringing up the most extreme cases is hardly evidence. I would ask how she would get the abortion without contact with the outside world, but I'm sure there are some gruesome details just waiting under the surface, so I'll leave that one alone. Two can play that game. There have been multiple cases of girls being imprisoned in secret dungeons at a rapist/kidnapper's house, where they live out their lives and get abused daily. When they end up pregnant, guess what happens - nothing. They have the kid(s), and when those kids get to be barely large enough for a pervert, they are raped and abused as well. It's a horrifying idea, but it happens, and it would definitely be better if the original girl could have just aborted the baby. By using this story, I could make the conclusion that it would be best for little portable abortion machines to be available to be placed in the homes of an average guy/ crazy rapist, for an affordable value. Heck, why don't we have the government foot the bill? We wouldn't want any completely unusual situations to worsen, would we?

The man is a wizard. And yes, they are sure to achieve it at some point, as infinity applies that they would not stop until they do. The fact that it's a possiblity makes it true, for given "infinity" to accomplish the task, all possible outcomes would occur. If you flip a coin an infinite number of times, you can say, with complete certainty, that it will land on heads at some point (technically, half the time). As for your question, yes. Self-interest runs the world, and I refuse to let some distorted sense of "morality" keep me from my twinkies. That beggar was probably an addict anyways.

The probability of it being heads is 1/2. This is a constant that will never change no matter how many times you have flipped it. To say it will eventually land on heads is an extremely accurate assumption, but still an assumption nonetheless. Let's use a more realistic scenario though: making a bunch of monkeys typing for an infinite amount of time doesn't necessarily ensure that they will eventually type one of Shakespeare's stories. It is possible that they could just happen to never type that. Actually, not "never", but never within reasonable time. If they were given infinite time (infinite being infinite) they would eventually type it. However, the chance is so low that you can safely say it won't happen.

Alright, it looks like either I've butchered the delivery here, or all TIFers are daft. It's a riddle. You don't know which sister is which, and you have to ask this one question to determine who is who. The ages make no difference, except that they are different. The goal is to avoid marrying the middle sister. Let me say it again: You don't know which sister is which. It's not a philosophical question, it's a riddle.

Then shes not a she..... and therefore I'll pick one of the other two. The point was that you don't know which is which. So you don't know who's the middle sister (brother), and have to solve the riddle to avoid marrying him.

I'm quite sure it is a very difficult decision for many mothers. It doesn't change the fact that many people hold the opinion I sarcastically posted. Oh, I'm sure. Those crazy liberals are just popping out dead fetuses left and right. You hardly turn a street corner in Massachusetts without stumbling across a couple making love with no protection on the front steps of an abortion clinic. A life is a life, whatever a person's belief. Anybody who tells you otherwise is probably trolling you - don't mention your pro-life views next time.

I think certain worlds must be better for resources than others. My first world, which I've played for many, many hours, has less than ten diamonds and probably less than twenty iron, including the ones I've dropped or died with. The new world I started had multiple stacks of iron in the first cave I found. Also, try this: Next time you see a woodland environment, start a lava river :twisted:

Dzi, send a thank-you note if you haven't already (for the interview). Believe me, it makes all the difference.

Saru, I would definitely be interested to see your opinions on religion, as I'm sure it's a topic you've spent plenty of time on, being an extremist Christian homosexual and all. Y_Guy, it's actually a very difficult decision for many mothers. I have never known a mother who aborted to not have a lot of trouble with it. It is, after all, a potential child and a very emotional topic. I find your remark rather callous.

This has been pretty well-known by intelligent people for a while. The thing is, a twinkie has a lot more calories than a couple carrots, so eating two or three of them can be very unhealthy. I was interested to see that his other health stuff didn't decline, but it might have had something to do with the vitamin pills and vegetables he ate.

This just in: The middle sister was lying about being a princess. She's actually a prince. Not so lazy about our life choices now, are we?
