Suggestion of interest

FYI – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 22:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I have to say though that the current system does not bother me that much. This is (for example) much more important to me. – 20:48, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh? Well, I suppose on the whole, I'm more annoyed by other things. This situation seems...unjustifiably inattentive to details of the game. The thing that always prevented me from being interested in AD&D computer games was that they followed AD&D rule sets...which also struck me as arbitrary and capricious.

Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to post. (FYI I wouldn't take it amiss if you mentioned your lack of interest on the suggestion's talk page.) – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 21:10, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Minions! Oh my!

Nice job on the minions. The research looks very thorough and I appreciate you taking the time to follow it up by updating the various minion articles. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 23:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me now that.

Btw: I hate my linguistic bloopers I tend to spread from time to time. As you might have noticed (:P) I am quite analytic, a pretty brain-focussed type so to say. Though I also really like language in general and enjoy eloquence in German, I simply can't achieve in English what I'd like to. Especially when I screw up basics because I payed more attention to improved/varied vocabulary that moment and I notice it two days later or so, it drives me nuts :/ – 00:09, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Eh, that's mostly how people learn languages: try stuff out, make mistakes, and hope someone points out the error of our ways. (The nice thing about the wiki, Deutsch or English, is that there are plenty of ppls here who can build on one's original source to make it more accessible to more people. That's important regardless of the eloquence of the author: even the best writers need a good editor.) – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 00:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I kind of know that, but though I hate to feel that "handicapped" – partially demoted to kindergarten. But that's me and I'm used to it, with my "not only thinking things through but rather dead" way to spend every day, while not even aiming for it.

However, to get more productive again: Here is some more game mechanic research, you probably noticed it already. This is what I made of it in German, you might get a helpful impression of it. I think this passage is the only part where this topic is described and that one could need a rework I think. I prefer to present data rather shortened, but this wiki has some huge tables in some articles (I think I read somewhere that you don't like them either). The equation should get an update, but what else? Any suggestions, or better to ask: Any questions concerning the research or the results, since discussing that could help. – 01:11, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

And I just commented out a part at the german article, since the "edges" like lvl 20 vs. 1 don't really fit. I could ask Judge, he might be interested and have some ideas... – 01:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
