Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

I'm not so sure that works as an analysis of knowledge. For one thing, you need to be more explicit about the premises and the reasoning. Are these premises also beliefs held by the agent? Must the...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

OH. I thought you said Nodrog didn't know about epistemology, when he was clearly framing a good Gettier case. Stupid terse forum posts.

And yes, we still don't have a good solution to what we...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

"Your mum is fat" is an unsupported assertion, but only in a certain context. If I were only attempting to use this assertion as a conclusion of some argument, where my evidence was provided only by...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

A robust definition of truth is the usual way that we think about statements of the type "X is true." This ascribes some property - that of being true - to the proposition X.

Minimalists, on the...

Re: so stats are 'final' ..?

You know, there's always an up and down to the effectiveness of attack fleets. If every race has two highly effective attack fleets, that means that (on average), every race is going to have two...

Re: zik dying 1:1 ???

After a lot of deliberation, I am playing Zik this round (for the first time).

As to the allegations that Zik will be unblanced this round... well, that's just wrong. If anything, they'll be more...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

I think we're just reading Nodrog's original scenario differently. You are reading the statement "your mum is fat" only as a conclusion derived from the evidence of the photo. That conclusion is...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

It's true, I'm still somewhat ambivalent about the debate between robust and minimalist definitions of truth, but I don't think that's what you had in mind. You're just trying to insult me. Let's go...

Re: OK GD people, which book are you reading now?

Reread Nodrog's scenario, JonnyB. The belief is true. But the reason that he has the belief is unrelated to the truth of the belief. But no, this still isn't considered knowledge. That's a simple -...

Re: zik dying 1:1 ???

There probably will be changes, but I think two things about this set of stats has really been overlooked. The first is that Ziks now fire before pods. This is huge. Before this, Ziks couldn't defend...

Re: *tuts* @ Stats

I'm generally a fan of the stats for this round. Some of the more "useless" fleets can actually be helped out quite a bit by mixing classes. The terran BS fleet, for example, goes from horrible to...

Re: xan cloaking

You might be able to make SOME guess, but in cases like the one I described the guess isn't really all that easy. And as for gambling on one's own judgment, that's desirable sometimes. But for some...

Re: 'Fix' the combat engine its damage distribution

I agree with Wandows on this one. Forget all this semantic bull**** about it being impossible for a properly functioning battle formula to be broken. The real deal is that it makes for some messed up...

Re: xan cloaking

On the manner of Xan cloak, I had one big problem with it throughout the round. I'd get hit - as Terran - several times by Xan fleets. Milscan would show something like this:

Fleet 1
Shadow 5000...

Re: Why wasn't the salvage change announced?

I liked the higher salvage numbers a lot better. I played as Terran last round, and, as we all know, Terrans fire last. They are the bitch when it comes to defense - at least Ziks can steal low-init...

Re: Round 20 Changes

I've resisted signing up for these forums for a little while now, but with these new set of changes (and the ensuing controversy), I feel like throwing in my two cents.

New buddy pack size:
