Triqster - if you really meant them no harm you woulda offered them P-nap not Cf

Why would any fam let another portal 2 ticks from their HS under cover of a CF ?

Its started from a game called - Zero wing (or something like that)

the English version was badly translated from the original Japanese.

"All your base are belong to us" was one of the lines in it.

Id prefer shorter rounds- say 4 weeks with maybe 10 expos to start with, and much bigger starting resources.

But whatever changes are made to keep experienced players interested, I dont think that will solve the main problem which is that not enough new players are coming to the game.

Ic needs a regular flow of new players.

There plenty of text based games that are nowhere near as good as IC yet  seem to be better at attracting new players (e.g bushtarian etc..) I think part of the reason is that those games are regularly listed on the Free RPG games vote sites.

IC needs to get voting.

@ question

"Commonly when I use WinZip or something I get what 1/2 compression, what if his method in the average case does 10X, 100X, 1000X?  "

I dont think you understand what flint was claiming to be able to do.

He said that he had a lossless compression algorithm that could compress ANY random data. That is very different from something like winzip/pkzip and existing compression programs.

Winzip works because in the average text file there are many repeating patterns, it replaces these patterns with tokens and can often achieve 90% compression for text files.

What flint ( and many cranks over the years) was claiming to be able to do is mathematically impossible.

to illustrate  (using small numbers for simplicity ) : Its impossible to compress all 8 bit files by 1 bit.

There are 256 possible 8 bit files but only a maximum 255 possible files of less than 8 bits, meaning at least two of the 8 bit files would have the same output file & therefore you cannot decompress back to the original- your lossless compression is now "lossy"

The same principle applies for any size file.

PW looks dead- hoping it will fill up next few days maybe

Fair play to Pickle for speaking out and not going along with it, I hope the mods act.

Multying is cheating plain and simple.
