  • GENERAL: Cafe "Tamerlin" II

    Our famous cafe after 6 months of successful service has been moved into a new location, Apolyton avenue and CtP2 Source Code boulevard corner, downtown.

    As always we serve fresh jokes, crazy stories and lot of fun
    You can bring your own coffee, cookies, beer and whiskey

    This cafe has been named after Tamerlin, a regular member of this forum, for reminding us that there is a 500 post limit

    The next cafe will be named after the member, who will begin the most interesting discussion in this thread, after a vote, wich will take place after post 450 and will last up to post 500.

    To remind you why this thread exists:

    You can post here, anything that you shouldn't post in this forum, generally everything straightly unrelated but related some how with this community and its residents. Do not post news and events from around the world. There is a more appropriate forum for this sort of things: Off-Topic

    The purpose of this thread is to have a break, some chat & fun and get familiar to each other.

    Note that the Apolyton Forum Rules apply here as well so avoid spam, troll or flame of any kind and behave well

    Have fun

    I have been drinking scotch and coke, slowly decreasing the coke measures, thus, what is your favourite drink? Therefore methinks i win the most ineresting discussion

    Or if thats not on topic or whatever, what is the solution to preventing a human to "learning" an AI?

      I'm certainly not a programmer but I think (if it is possible) that we give the AI varying types of strategies (economic, scientific, warmonger, etc) and have it adjust based what the civ's personality is and how the game progresses. This would also requiring balancing powers. Like an economic would have to have something to deter war mongers etc. The AI would adjust or pursue a path to keep the human off balance.

      This might also require the player to select certain presets at the game start, like picking what advantages to give the AI as opposed to lumping it in diety etc (i.e. a separate set of combat bonuses, economic, or scientific) based on what you feel your strengths or weaknesses are and then set the AI up for success to match your strengths.

      the other option is make the AI very "patchable" so those dedicated few can keep updating it

      Bartender, another bushmills and coke please...

          I remember two Scottish colleagues of mine, who would have hung you for that sentence alone. Even if you didn't mix it. But to have Scotch as a paragon of purity together with a sugar and chemical infested beverage, which is on top of all even yankish, is something like a sacrilege and comes right after drinking Scotch "on the rocks".

          There, now I have dropped my handbag.

                To be honest i cant start drinking scotch alone, its been too long since ive been on it i couldve easily started with scotch and threat but i wasnt planning on killing my organs in one night, not tonight anyway. With coke you end up pissed as a rat and wide awake

                  I remember we were out one evening, bowling with our scottish friends. They ordered whiskey. The waiter asked which one. They answered "the best you have". He brought Jack Daniels. They almost killed him.

                    Youre never alone with gentleman Jack or so they say. Expensive paint stripper they should say.

                      Sometimes one should know when he has to shut up... I never know.



                      To answer Maq's question I must admit my favorite drink is the Suze, a French bitter alcool made from a mountain flower named Gentiane, a real delicacy (the alcool... not the flower).

                      I appreciate good beers and Whisky (alone, without ice) though.

                        Jack Daniels

                        American whiskey is crap for a good whiskey it’s got to come from Scotland.

                            Here is another good use for Jack Daniels (except paint stripper ). I recorded this about five years ago hanging out in IRC, lurking the conversation of a bunch of script kiddies and wannabe "haxx0rz":

                            Code:
                            00:12 <DW6> well. i was usin on my dirtbike chain, and the wind blew it back
                                  in my face
                            00:12 <DW6> but thats another story
                            00:12 <DW6> :)
                            00:12 <YumYum> it mite have been the dirt
                            00:12 <DW6> just like the time i had some overspray while spraypainting and
                                  painted my iris black
                            00:12 <DW6> :P
                            00:13 <YumYum> er
                            00:13 <YumYum> how could u have seen
                            00:13 <YumYum> ur iris was painted black if
                            00:13 <YumYum> u painted over it
                            00:13 <YumYum> koz then everything would be black
                            00:13 <YumYum> innit ?
                            00:13 <DW6> yea
                            00:13 <DW6> it was sorta cloudy
                            00:13 <DW6> i had to goto the eye doctor
                            00:13 <DW6> he gimme some drops
                            00:13 <DW6> kinda embarrasing
                            00:13 <DW6> :)
                            00:14 <DW6> i just wanted to wash it out with jack daniels
                            00:14 <YumYum> hehe grown man crying ?
                            00:14 <DW6> but they wouldnt let me./
                            00:14 <YumYum> yeah.. pretty embarassing
                            00:14 <YumYum> thats a waste of jack daniels
                            00:14 <DW6> bleh. the doctor cost 40usd
                            00:14 <DW6> the jack was cheaper
                            00:15 <YumYum> wel
                            00:15 <YumYum> feel better
                            00:15 <YumYum> in paying 40usd
                            00:15 <DW6> although i doubt it would have had the same effect
                            00:15 <DW6> anyway.
                            00:15 <YumYum> u personally
                            00:15 <YumYum> contributed to
                            00:15 <YumYum> paying off the dr's mercedez benz
                            00:15 <YumYum> :P
