The water is unpassable,
unless you put a box on it,
It will float!
This could be good for puzzles!
Also beethro must move in a box to pust it,
But not SW NW EW W EN SN N ES NS.
Tar and mud can cross water.

I know I've said it before, but I feel like I have to say it every time: really, seriously, Anson, use paragraphs. Enough free verse.

And...

But, anyway, there's been (I believe) official resistance to the idea of anything pushable in the game.

I think EW means you can't move it both east and west at the same time.

Anson, please stop posting messages expressing anger toward people who are replying to your posts.

I'll give you some friendly advice. If you feel like posting an idea you really like, but you feel you won't be able to handle it when people don't understand what you're saying or they don't like your idea, then I'd recommend just not posting until a time comes when you are able to take criticism in stride. This forum is not a place for you to push your ideas on others, make demands, or whine when people don't like what you do. (Actually, I don't know of any place where it's welcomed for members of a group to act this way.) If that's not your style, that's fine. Still, I ask that you respect other people while you post here.

Oh, and Anson. I really agree with Tahan. It is difficult to read your posts. Please don't press enter to seperate sentences. Use space (the same button you use to separate words). It would also serve you well to read through your posts to see if they really are understandable. I didn't understand your post either. Maybe you meant that you can't enter a box diagonally? Also: Don't be so sure that Tahan was the one to give your post a -1 (or -2). I would guess that it wasn't him.

Errr... what post? The one that "EW" means "neither east nor west"?

Or am I missing something? :huh

If it's that "lurk more" thing in the other thread - that's not mean, that's basic forum etiquette.

np: Autechre - Maetl (Incunabula)

Yes, I mean the EW thing:

Banjooie wrote:

What Banjooie wrote was IMO offensive, since you can't move both east and west at the same time. Thus I think he redicules Anson by sugesting that this was what Anson meant.

If you have read something into Anson's post that does not say 'Beethro cannot push the box both east and west at the same time', feel free to share it with me. I'm especially interested in precisely what direction 'NS' is.

That's one (very bad and ugly) direction that you really, REALLY don't want to go (again) here in Austria (as well as Germany, and probably just about everywhere else).

np: Autechre - Dropp (EP7)

Sigh! I don't find it funny when someone is intentionally cruel to small children. Yes, what Anson said didn't make much sense, but that's no reason to make fun of him. I think it's bad because it seems to really sadden him.

I like Banjooie, he's evil. But it's a pity really, because it seems that Anson is meaning well, just a little confused.

I don't see any reason to mod that post down -2. He just doesn't get paragraphs, and he's a little confused with the directions. What's wrong with that?

And besides, I like the idea a bit. :)

Another UU kind of discussion:
Two flaming groups flaming each other in quite cultural manner...
And of course those who try to calm everything ^^;

I'm against this idea. I already know how devious things you can create with this kind of elements... Now add roach queens, goblins and brains, and you have puzzle too hard for my small mind...

And I second what mrimer said. And Blondbeard too I think...

That, and I believe it was Erik who set into stone ages ago that pushable things are a Really Big No-No(TM) in DROD.

np: Autechre - Stop Look Listen (We Are Reasonable People)

More than just a Really Big No-No(TM), they're never going to be in the game, unless Erik and Mike both get possessed by the ghost of Sokoban. Hopefully, they won't.

I must say, there are days when it seems like it was a really bad idea to build Erik's Basement over an Indian videogame burial ground. You should have been there the weekend Schik got possessed by the ghost of tetris and tried to make the highscore spider rotate all the demos until they fit into neat lines.

While I've never modded Anson down myself, I'm not annoyed at the people modding him down, either. A lot of people (e.g. Mike above) have taken time and effort to politely, clearly, and clamly explain to Anson why he gets negative reactions. Anson just keeps repeating the things he's been advised not to do. He's not breaking any rules and he's welcome to stay here, but if he wants to post in a way that he's been told would generate negative mods, he should expect negative mods.

So that's where all those E.T. cartridges went. I take it there also won't be any holes to fall into in future DROD versions? :D

np: Various Artists - Autechre Rmx (Für Dich)

You know, just to be clear, I don't even remember whether I modded down Anson's first post, but I don't believe I did. On the other hand, I just spent a few rank points to mod down this reply another point, not because it was egregiously bad (which it kind of was), but out of principle. For Pete's sake, Anson, if you don't want to be modded down, try saying something worth modding up.

I don't feel any particular need to mock children (again, I note, if Anson is indeed a child); but I don't feel any particular need to coddle children who come to a place where the discussion is meant to be constructive and civilized, and proceed to be neither. I modded down Anson's reply to be because it failed to be the latter (actually, it also failed to be the former as well), but it strikes me that I might in fact have modded down Anson's first because, because it failed to be the former. Or at least: it was, literally, too incoherent to be at all a constructive suggestion.

+2 to the first person who can actually offer a reasonable interpretation of "Also beethro must move in a box to pust it, but not SW NW EW W EN SN N ES NS."
