    well, if you really wanted to go all the way, you should add 512, 1028, etc. of course, the year ends at 365, so it'd have to be every 2^n mod 365 (366 for leap years) days, for n in N. can anyone calculate what days of the year fall in this category? please? i'm not smart enough! hellp meeee!

    that's nothing. i once created incredibly complex, varied, and even intelligent live out of nothing but a bunch of simple carbohydrates and ammonium. (admittedly all i had to do was sit and wait, but boy it took a lot of patience...)

    the EU is tiny, young, and has no inertia whatsoever (just look at how Russia is making them their bitch because of it natural gas supply). so no, i wasn't thinking of the EU...

    one more addition, to make it accurate - as long as a group of players have an ongoing game, if any of them suggests that children should study hard and/or wash their hands frequently have to be either crucified, or immediately deported to Kenya.

  20. Re:Risk on Google Maps instead on Monopoly Uses Google Maps To Go Live Online · · Score: 1

    Oh, oh, i know a cool new feature to add! To increase the realistic aspect of gameplay, actually perform all the actions users perform in the game! So, for example, if someone buys all the houses in a county, and turns them all into hotels or shopping malls, actually demolish the houses and evict the residents! Or, if someone sends a nuclar missile to DC, players in Richmond would get the full experience by seeing weird flashes of light on the horizon, followed by a radioactive dust cloud, followed by cancer and birth defects. Imagine how cool that would be!
