diana_coman: fwiw it sounds
to me
that Reuel precisely wants
to implement
the planning committee possibly as a fantasy where he
thinks he can *make* it work
Reuel: Yes I agree, irl, but
this would be a small
time waster, are you saying
that any game
that gives you "free" resources is bad?
mircea_popescu: when
they do come from
the central planning committee
the country's broken, and collapsing.
mircea_popescu: salaries come from a social negotiation, not from
the fucking white house.
mircea_popescu: not exactly.
the point is
that ~everything's balanced~.
Reuel: that nothing in
the game is free
mircea_popescu: what does size have
to do with whether something works or doesn't ? a broken engine is broken at any scale.
diana_coman: what idea do you say you get? (it seems quite likely you did not get it: scope has nothing
to do with it)
Reuel: well youll probably
tell me i dont get
the idea
Reuel: I did, and I get
the idea, but
this is way smaller in scope
diana_coman: Reuel, I suggest you read & a play eulora for a while - it will help you with
this
mircea_popescu: which is why and how
they ended up
the equivalent of stripper joints.
mircea_popescu: just because a bunch of irrelevant games are utterly broken means jack. a) eulora isn't broken and will kill
them ; and b) nobody wants
to play
them anyway
mircea_popescu: "it's a supermarket item like frozen chickens, where do
those come from"
mircea_popescu: consider all
the rest of your magic numbers. where does
the one in "they can veto
the outcome of one national ballot per round." come from ?
Reuel: payout at
the start of
the
turn
mircea_popescu: A job influences what salary a player receives << where's
the salary come from ?
Reuel: I hope you can grasp
the game cycle from
this
Reuel: That was more meant
to set
the
tone, and
the
target audience would be people who vote irl
Reuel: yeah
the introduction can be ignored,
this was a work in progress which should become
the manual
mircea_popescu: to put it bluntly it's either
that "people vote" or
that "their nation". denied middle between
these.
mircea_popescu: Reuel your description is badly phrased. for instance in
the first paragraph : i encounter
the symbol "the best outcome for
their nation", but it's not defined nor obviously supported by
the introduction. leaving aside
that going from "x is defined"
to "x is measurable in an algebraic group which permits ordering" which is what "best" implies -- your perspective is globalist and
there's no fundamental solution for a national
Reuel: you suggested
the Eulora
text mode conversion, could you
tell more about it
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: "I had seen
the moonwalk [not
the pedophilic stage dance, but
the actual walk on
the Moon
that orbits Planet Earth] recently and
therefore believed in what was essentially magic."

this,
the
third consecutive day of asking, would you kindly acknowledge receipt?
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-27#1608382 <<
this is
the official acknowledgement of
the receipt. likewise i saw it
the first
two
times you posted it, but didn't realize
that writing
the nth copy of
the logreader
that you embarked on is a high priority republic business. seriously, what's with
the attitude?

the day he leaves for vacations.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-27 19:52 ben_vulpes: unless i misremember,
the man is in
the habit of at least mentioning prolonged absences.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: conversely,
the proposition
that "the sum
total of people
that could possibly be worth knowing is equal my dunbar number" smacks a little of panglossism
mircea_popescu: if
tomorrow we conquer
the us and put it
through
the grinder,
that'll result in 297mn bodies, yes
mircea_popescu: look,
the problem is
that as
the empire grows,
the army food supply goes from bushels
to millions of bushels. "restrict legionnaire rations" is not a solution.

the
thing
that SHOULD be done about it is make it work in such a way it doesn't choke in its own fumes. not

to do
that.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if computers-were-magic(tm)

mod6: <+asciilifeform> (i am speaking strictly of provably-unreachable routines.
