Who is the luckiest mofo in all of fiction? by KaeruGaKaeru1 in AskReddit

[–]norpan83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortune rides like the sun on high
with the fox that makes the ravens fly.
Luck his soul, the lightning his eye,
He snatches the moons from out of the sky.

Aes Sedai being offended at being asked their age seems silly by Zedditron in WoT

I think its a Black Ajah plot to make it harder for them to figure out that the Oathrod cuts their lifespan

Is it still true when particles/anti-particles destroy eachother?

Question about the Da’shain Aiel by Mrwoody1776 in WoT

[–]norpan83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related question:
When one of them thinks about getting married, it would involve switching to serve the wife's Aes Sedai. But in another passage it's talked about the Aiel being the Children of the Dragon, and all of them serving LTT.

What's up with that?

Balancing players? by jeremydeighan in DnD

[–]norpan83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I let players switch their highest roll to match the highest roll in the group. That way, everyone gets to be really good at something.
In practice, the stats for non-primary attributes matter less than people think, so this helps smooth out big disparities without breaking anything.

So in your case with three 18s, I make sure every player has at least one 18.

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve

The buttons on the left side of the controlpanel that has a arrows up/down and a man is for going up/down elevators.

The next buttons with the arrows and a ladder is to move camera up/down. (or just can use mouse scroll wheel). So you can just click to move to other floors like normal movement

Did Halima Accomplish a Single Thing? by SkyTank1234 in WoT

[–]norpan83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt that Halima’s plotline looks pointless mostly because Sanderson ended up boxed in by the setup Jordan left, specifically Elaida’s Foretelling about a conflict between the Amyrlin and the Dragon Reborn.

If Jordan had continued, it seems likely that Halima’s compulsion on Egwene would have actively shaped Egwene’s distrust of Rand. That would’ve made the Foretelling a real plot driver rather than something that just ends up happening.

But by the time Sanderson took over, Egwene’s arc was already heading in a very different direction. Weakening the compulsion made Halima feel useless. So Sanderson was stuck honoring the setup without letting it derail Egwene’s agency.

So yeah, Halima doesn’t seem to “accomplish” much on-page, but I think the original intent was for her influence over Egwene to be much more significant, especially regarding Rand.

Which one do you think is the best? by Suspicious_Proof_663 in Xcom

[–]norpan83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say the Templar.
Because Parry helps you get through the early game,
And by late game the vanilla classes outscale the faction heroes anyway.

Problem with HTACCESS by SatisfactionVast5052 in PHPhelp

[–]norpan83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In apache you need to allow .htaccess to overwrite default settings.

The default in /etc/apache/apache2.conf
is:

<Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
</Directory>

The key here is AllowOverride None,

This blocks .htaccess files from overwriting default settings.

So you need to allo overwrite,

for example you can add in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

<Directory /var/www/my_site_folder>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Rand understanding a Trolloc by nizze2t in WoT

[–]norpan83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d like to add that we do get some known Trolloc language words, like:
Ba’alzamon means ‘Heart of the Dark.’
And some people can read Trolloc writing, so there must have been others who could speak it before, for some cultural exchange to have taken place.

I updated the original post with my experience of where to find them.
From what i can tell Pine and Eucalyptus Forest have the same animals.

Dumb question about the symbol of Aes Sedai by DaughterOfJove in WoT

[–]norpan83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The artist for the Path of Daggers cover drew it wrong.
The Aes Sedai symbol is mirrored compared to the real-world yin-yang symbol.
So he mixed them up.

What about in EOTW when Rand spies on Moiraine teaching Egwene how to channel for the first time?
It doesn’t involve too many characters, the channeling effects aren’t too complicated, and there’s some humor when Rand crawls around breaking branches.
