  1. The Acheaens need but recruit me. Are you implying that Priam is dead? Paris can only make predictions if his is. But if that's the case Paris already has BTSC. Maybe it's you that cannot communicate with your fellow Trojans or you would know this.
  2. Prof. Templeton

    Saw them both. That second one was much harder though, also better.
  3. Hhmmm, I'd have thought you were firmly at the helm. You could target me, but I don't know your role so that may not be good for you.
  4. Well the Acheaens haven't recruited me yet, so I'm wondering what the hold up is. I fully expected to be in the Acheaens' camp by now which is why I voted for a Trojan last time. I have no idea what the conditions are for my recruitment (only Apollo and whomever he talks to knows). I've been collecting information these past nights/days and am eager put it to use for someones team, which looks like it would be the Acheaens. Do you not think I'd be a use to you? If you leave me long enough and I'm sure the Trojans will find me useful. Behold Acheaens, the time is nigh Upon the mount we both can fly Use my sight of matters untold Brought together into one fold I await. Are Brandonb and Unreality still the voices of their respective teams? What say you?

  6. Well I didn't target you, so i can't really say. And wasn't it I who asked for Athena's intervention? You must have me confused with someone else.
  7. Sorry for the confusion. Yes those are the blocks needed for the perimeter. Notice that at layer 4 we start to need additional block(s) on the inside of the perimeter to help support the layer(s) above. Basicly I'm asking what is the minimum amount of blocks we need inside the perimeter to hold the whole thing up? Is there a formula that can be made for N levels?
  8. General Brandonb has a flaw in his battle plan that gives the Trojans a slight advantage in information gathered, but I don't want to divulge too much. Plus it's probably too late for him to formulate new plans anyway. I think the Trojans could see more of their blood spilled so it's probably a wash plus General Unreality is basicly giving out his role with his requested actions (unless he hasn't thought them through, but I'll assume he has). Like I said, should be interesting.
  9. I'm curious how these attempts to direct troops with the enemy listening will play out. Can't wait for the night post it should prove interesting.
  10. Correct link to the original stacking block topic here. Some clarification: [(4x4)-4+1=13] this represents the four sides of the 4x4 layer minus the corner blocks plus the one block in the center that helps support the 3x3 layer. [(3x4)-4=8] represents the four sides of the 3x3 layer minus the corner blocks.
  11. I've been giving more thought to my original stacking blocks problem where we figured out how to make a 4 layer structurally stable square pyramid with fewer blocks by leaving some areas hollow. Instead of 30 total blocks ([4x4=16] + [3x3=9] + [2x2=4] + [1x1=1] = 30) we could make what appeared on the outside to be a solid square pyramid with only 26 blocks ([(4x4)-4+1=13] + [(3x4)-4=8] + [(2x4)-4=4] + [1x1=1] = 26. But what if we expand this idea to a larger pyramid? What if we had, say, 1300 blocks? If the stucture were solid we could make a square pryamid with 15 levels (152 + 142 + 132 + 122 ... + 12) which would take a total of 1240 blocks. We only need enough blocks to keep the structure from caving in and support the upper levels so some areas inside the pyramid can be left hollow. How many levels can we create with the 1300 blocks and can a general rule be formed for all square pryamids?
  12. Prof. Templeton

    The letter of recommendation is either very good or very, very bad, depending on how you interpret it.
  13. But your plan is flawed. The Trojans will learn your Id's if you proceed. I don't think some roles work as you think they do.
  14. The problem with openly organizing your Army is it ultimately turns into a WIFOM scenario. You say what your going to do, so the enemy counters those actions, but you'd be expecting that so you actually do something different, but the enemy knows that you know so they do something different, but you know they know that you know so you do the original actions, but they...
  15. Bb, you should have let my vote for you maninate for a while. Ah well, as it is I think we can get a good picture of what's going on. I hope Athena has been paying attention.
  16. Well I hope Athena is watching this vote closely, there's no point in saving anybody but confessed Acheaens. If Brandonb gets ahead in the vote (or ties, as Itachi implies someone will still pay for their transgressions against the Gods), you should use your power. Oh, Athena Parthenos, Godess of heroic endeavour, heed our cries!
  17. I don't need saving, but the Acheaens in general do.
  18. Yeah, I've been wondering about that. "we both loved this one, just not the middle of the title (we'd always just gloss over it)" I'll think on it.
  19. Only about three hours left, so I guess it's time to end this fishing expedition. Athena if you don't want to force me to choose another Achaean over myself, then you should prevent my sacrifice. Host: itachi 1) Limeliam 2) Prof. Templeton voting for -O'mally 3) Frost 4) dawh - voting for -Prof Templeton 5) Cherry Lane 6) Star Tiger - voting for -Brandonb 7) LIS -DEAD 8) SomeGuy 9) Joe's Student 10) GC - voting for -Prof Templeton 11) PG 12) reaymond 13) impervious - voting for -Brandonb 14) O'mally - voting for -O'mally 15) unreality voting for -Brandonb 16) Brandonb - voting for -Prof Templeton 17) Y-San -DEAD [Achaean] Bb come collect your lost soldier.
  20. If people keep voting for me I'll be forced to sacrifice someone in my stead.
  21. I was going to post my answer, but i got beat (again), so I made a drawing instead
  22. Host: itachi 1) Limeliam 2) Prof. Templeton voting for - Brandonb 3) Frost 4) dawh 5) Cherry Lane 6) Star Tiger 7) LIS -DEAD 8) SomeGuy 9) Joe's Student 10) GC 11) PG 12) reaymond 13) impervious 14) O'mally 15) unreality 16) Brandonb 17) Y-San -DEAD [Achaean] I think you know why.
