Shattered Kingdoms

Fu** you.

Othet, you played a d0rf before the innate axe change. Your brain was obviously shot even before this thread came up.

Duh.

wow I just wasted 15 minutes of my life reading this thread. I feel a hell of a lot more stupid now for doing so.

Ooh, maybe if I put a little bit of timecube in here, it'll make the thread get locked.
If you grew up with it, you wouldn't think it's strange. I'm just explaining how it could exist, not that it would be the same as here. And, when I said it would be really hilly, I meant on a smaller scale, that makes it more difficult to tread in one direction than another. By the way, you're rejection of the hexagon idea shows me just how much you know about geometry. Also, you can put multiple quotes in one post. There's no need to triple-post.

Finally, *OTHET STOP READING* by using 8 exits in every room, and since we know that opposites create (like father and mother), we have sixteen exits that you see every time that you move in the wilderness. However, we should no longer call it sixteen, but four fours. Using that word for that number just takes away from the power of four. Four is the key to everything in nature. We have four ticks during every tick. We earn HP, ME, PE, and finally experience OOC from playing. See? Four is most important. There are 4 seasons, and four important parts of the day: sun up, sun down, midday, and midnight. www.timecube.com Free your mind.

First of all, your second post after your "break" post occurred 16 minutes later.

Secondly, you got your Immortal response from Dulrik himself. There are more important things for coders to do than sit and code how to change PE costs across different directions. I don't even want to think of the headaches, crashes, and bugs such a minor fix would entail.

Find something more noble to pursue.

I don't know why, but I just imagined a bust of some fat dwarven college major becoming a chia pet.

I'm sorry.

It is FM.

In SK, we write have our own laws of nature which operate entirely independant of those of the real world.

Moving northeast does in fact require the same expenditure of energy as moving east, even though the distance DOES appear to be different given OUR own mathematical laws.

That's the magic of FM.

It explains everything.

For all of everybody's math genius on this thread they forget that they can't compute non-existant distances into an equation.

Even if you want to get all fancy with your vector lines and figuring out how much distance you travel, you have absolutely no numbers to work with.

How much distance is traveled between each grid? Who cares? There are more important things to worry about in the game. Like those meteors that are flying at your face.

I can draw a vector line that'll tell you exactly how much I care.

...Actually, I probably can't

Actually Ardith, SK's measure of long distance is a league. Signs by the road say as much.

A league is 4.8 kilometres or 3 statute miles. Therefore, you have numbers to work with.

It's also a fact that at least one IC puzzle requires knowledge of the pythagorean theorem. So unless you embrace one of my magical definitions, going e e e n n n (6 leagues) and ne ne ne (3 leagues) to get to the same spot doesn't work (you should be a little more than a league short).

The most logical explanation is the empty-space-magical-transport solution.
