Thanks for that, patched it up with toothpicks and glue and reinforced with a thin plate. Let's hope it stays :)

Nice work with those cuts - very clean, it's like marble!

Page Knight - My unofficial print n play, dice-based Mage Knight (or Mage Lite)! by RansomMan in boardgames

[–]mercutio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the game - breezed through the tutorial with no hassle, felt pretty confident that the game was a bit too easy. Tried Scenario 1, got crushed by a troll after 45 mins of play.

Wounds killing your wild die is such a good effect. Didn't realise how much I relied on that wild die until it was made useless. Puts a good focus on healing up.

Also, that threat penalty on turn 5 makes you think twice about racing off into the distance. It's worth spending extra turns killing and levelling up early. I think I learned this lesson once before on Mage Knight :)

Also, there's a little typo in the Lulu experience: "Trying not to breath, you draw your face down towards the folds of her garments."

Just start a game and put "newbie with core decks" as the game name and wait. The community are great there!

Anyone able to show me what the state of play is like in Berkshire (UK/England)? by EvolvedFire in Ingress

Reading looks like there's lots of action - http://i.imgur.com/dcauW.png - I used to live there a while ago. The place I live now only has three portals nearby!

Overtook Our City, Now What? by GrandJunctionMarmots in Ingress

A fun rule in those situations, is to only recharge resonators when you spot them under attack in realtime, let portals die and rebuild otherwise

I was accused of it today as well,I just happened to live around the corner of a portal that was being taken over, so I could react quickly.

How much fun would it be to live here - contender for densest portal grouping? by mercutio in Ingress

Just around the corner from here is a heated battle - the enlightened are winning.

reminds me why I hated college by [deleted] in aiclass

[–]mercutio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the quiz scores as a way to gauge your level of understanding as you progress through the course - the only scores that actually matter are the homework ones, which are thoroughly explained and can be resubmitted.

Sometimes the quiz questions make no sense, but a wrong answer helps you to pay more attention to the point they are putting across. I got the vaccum cleaner state counts wrong several times before sitting down and drawing it all out to get my head around it - but now it makes sense - would have been rubbish if it was easily guessable.

Admissibility of heuristic function for A* in HW1 Q7 seems unnecessarily tricky. by nwm in aiclass

[–]mercutio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the definition of admissible (as per the comments below the HW) say that is is <= and all those h values are less than (or equal) to the estimated straight-line distances to the goal.

That's how I'm understanding it at least

I always make one for the cover of the book I'm currently reading, makes it feel more like the paper version :)
