General / the problem

« on: June 01, 2005, 08:08:22 AM »

.5 seconds invul works for me, I've been on servers with 1.0 seconds and of course the marines are facing the wrath of an invincible skulk.

Also with marines instant building IPs? Maybe NS should balance itself out and have a comm chair and IP ready-built, like the aliens have a ready built Hive+Spawn.

Off Topic / Is it me or is gamesurge dead?

« on: May 28, 2005, 07:47:22 AM »

I've been on Burstfire the past week and it's stayed up better than my normal Clanshells.DE. I've even still connected to the American servers during the NetSplits.

Off Topic / Explain Your Name

« on: May 28, 2005, 07:44:25 AM »

My name's origin?
Everyone thinks my name is an AOL plural... it's not damnit >_<
I originally played TFC, monikoring myself as an MSN account I made when I was about 10 (I started TFC when I was 12): Linkin Rings... it was a play on my favourite band of the time (Linkin Park) and the Linking Rings used by magicians (the masked magician was on while I was thinking a name).
2 years ago I had (obviously) grown up a bit, and had started to dislike the name of a band I didn't even really listen to anymore, and then I started NS (on PCZone Magazine Official Server) which is, interestingly where I met "twoflow" or "Confidence" as he was then named (Geminosity/NS Forumites know him). People there could not be arsed to call me "Linkin Rings" especially if they typed... so they called me Link. Like the Zelda character I had not heard of by this point. I accepted this alias at first but decided it was too plain, people might just assume I was calling myself an URL. So I looked around to find something to combine it with... my sisters German book was open on colours... I saw "Schwarz" and thought, hmmm how can I combine that and "Link"... you know the rest. So my name is not plural, it's bastardised Germo-English.
Now the Evil part? During my time playing TS I played around on many servers until I found Nashcorp a great place to stay, mainly because after talking to Nashwan himself I learned the server is not 3 miles from where I'm typing now (16ms ping ftw!). I played here for 6 months until I finally met [EA]EvilSoup, who, impressed with my playing, invited me to play with other [EA] members. After a while they invited me in, and I ditched Linkz to be [EA]EvilLinkz.
To prove it used to be Linkz... whois me on IRC... "IamLinkz"

And that's my long-winded history of my name.

Hmmm, this seems to have become a multi-question thread. I blame Nightowl for being impatient D:

Darn, I fear I made this too specialised :|

A second difference is the difference of the differences between two numbers.... in the case of that sequence.... it's "30"

Code: [Select]

{decaf}   | (Second difference:1,32,93,184,305) + (65536^¼)½
{regular} | x² - 31 + 30
{regular} | 0.5 to the -sin + sin90
{regular} | (5 x 6) + (369630/555)/666
{regular} | a² + b² = 5.5677643628300219221194712989185²
Jesus that took a long time, damn formatting...

...hope you like numbers

The Japanese managed to win? They slaughter the Russians at a ratio of 1 Japanese death to 10 Russian deaths (600:6000).

Hmmm, a little more research makes me realise something more obvious: Tsushima is the only battle on the waters. The others are land or air.

(Cheers DHP for reminding me the decaf has to be the odd one out.)

So, this is the  puzzle:

Code: [Select]

{decaf}      {regular}     {regular}     {regular}    {regular}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsushima  |    Kursk   |  Leningrad  |   Berezina   |  Khalkin-Gol

http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Marina/8163/Tsushima.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leningrad
http://www.ddg.com/LIS/InfoDesignF96/KScott/Berezina.html
http://orbat.com/site/history/historical/r...in-gol1939.html

They're all locations of battles, generally involving Japan or Russia, however the only odd one out I can see is that Berezina is a river while the others are towns/cities.
