You guys have waaaaaaay too much time on your hands.

time stacks

Does time stack? If a mage who already has time is scripted to cast Time, will the spell be cast? If so, what happens to the mage?

"Too much time on your hands" is an interesting idea. If a Rudra wore four wristwatches, would it have too much time on its hands?

actually, does time exist at all ?

i think someone did some test about that, i don't remember who, but it was about brothers and high speed travel through the nether

Stupid noobs. Just because there isn't an icon for it, they question whether it even exists. Go play some cookie cutter RTS :rolleyes:

Re: Stacking Luck
 
you know, this made me really wondering. How does decay work actually (and burden of time)? let's take our demon lord friend bh'awb here. i summon him, then a wizard cast burden of time. when he get slayed in battle he return to home. is the demons' existence world influenced by the burden of time? if yes, are you telling me that no one out there get pissed by getting old a lot faster suddendly(e.g. bh'awb's wife, Zhuzhan the housesuccubus)? if not, what is that is aging? the soul? the atoms? we have our own personal time?

This should explain it. It's pretty much like this:

well, the shape and/or size of a clock doesn't influence the speed of the hands of the clock, so you are suggesting that there are more than one "times" but our actions do not modify it (or them)?
And for my information, there 2 clock on a brown retctangular-like shaped thing , 1 on a tree and the last one is on what?

Humakty January 14th, 2010 09:24 AM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
We all know time is limited, so it SHOULD stack. At least when casted by a mage, for angels it might be different. Damn bootlickers !

I believe it's a decapitated bearded duck. I've rarely been wrong.

The point of my illustration is that time bends, it folds, so it also should stack.

I'm quite sure that a 4-handed creature holding 4 clocks will be able to stack time a lot more efficiently.

Humakty January 14th, 2010 10:29 AM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
I'd have thought a clock with four hands would rather be detrimental to measure time stacking.

No, no, no. You just don't get it. The significance of four clocks goes beyond your meagre mentalities.

I don't blame you, though - you've clearly been educated stupid.

The 12 hour or 1/2 Day clock is an intended EVIL against humanity - indicting every human on Earth as Dumb, Educated Stupid and Evil - for imaginary Cubed Earth has 4 Days within simultaneous rotation.

Do you realize that a 4 corner square rotating 1/4 turn creates a full circle? A full rotated square will create 16 corners, 96 hours and 4 simultaneous 24 hour Day circles within only a single imaginary cubed Earth roation. This amounts to a spiraling quad helix of Earth as it revolves around the Sun - rotating as it revolves around the Sun, to induce the value of the Sun revolving about the Earth. This act demonstrates that both Sun and Earth rotate around each other simultaneously - thus creating Opposites existing only as Opposites with a zero value existence between the binary and cancelling to nothing as One or God theism. All Creation occurs between Opposites, and exists only as Opposites - with a zero value existence. As One or as a Godism, all Opposite values cancel out to nothing. The Circle you see around Earth divides Earth into Opposite values equal to a zero existence. As One or God, both Earth and Human cancel to nothing. The whole of the Universe is composed of Opposites - with a zero value existence - that camcels to nothing as One or a God. Humans worship ONEness of DEATH, thus they are destroying the LIFE of all Opposites by which all Creation exists. I have found Evil lies in the Bible that will rock religious and academic values to their primitive origin. There is no Human or God who can match my Cube Wisdom as a Cube Phenomenoligist - The Cube God Measurer. While the Circle of Earth rotation is a perpetual enbodiment as it is void of the Corner Time notches that accumulate as aging Life for the 4 corner residents.

Have you mentality to know 4 Days rotating simultaneously on Earth?

Have you the mentality to know that "4 corner square" is redundant? :banana:

Wow. I think this may be the first thread I've ever seen where a Time Cube post was actually on topic.

Or at least on the current topic, which has drifted far away already. But after Time Cube where do you go?

Re: Stacking Luck
 
Um, seriously, does luck stack?

Quitti January 14th, 2010 03:51 PM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
at least up to -6%

Kheldron January 14th, 2010 04:14 PM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
I wonder if a quickened human stacks time better than a four handed rudra if both hold a wristwatch on each of their wrists?
Does it make any difference if some of the wristwatches are digital and the rest mechanical?

this topic is a zombie, you can't kill it and it will eat the brain of who post here

on topic
quickened humans stack time worst because they consume time faster, it's easy.
Someone want to bet how long time will be the topic before someone switch?

It is nice to see that in the year and a half I have been away no one has lost their sense of humor.

Well, duh. It's widely known that sense of humor stacks.

Especially if you measure that year and a half with digital wristwatches.

Swan January 16th, 2010 03:29 PM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
sense of humor may stacks, but don't forget that it decay with an increased rate as you get older

Swan January 16th, 2010 04:09 PM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
here the equations for sense of humor calculation:
someone think it's a equation linear Y= -x +H H= h +w
but the truth is that it's a curve, which equation is
Y= -x^2 + ax + H H= (h+w)/x
Y=sense of humor x=your age H=humor you gained since x h=initial sense of humor
w= humor stacked from life experience
a= the age when you stopped to see the nice things in the world
when Y<0 it became sarcasm mixed with cynicism, a mixture which % can be calcuklated with an equation i will not post here

Will Boots of Youth keep my commanders funny forever? Also, if I empower in Blood Magic and cast Rejuvenate, will my commanders recover their lost sense of humor?

Also, does sense of humor stack with time and/or luck?

Swan January 20th, 2010 10:16 AM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
hmm, you don't age so boots should keep your commander funny, don't forget the humor power of an item made by slaughtering innocent girls.
humor don't stack with time, but works well with luck: a lucky and funny commander will have more succes that a funny and unlucky commander.

I've noticed that good luck is not usually funny, it's just good. Bad luck, OTOH, is indeed bad, but can also be absolutely hilarious. Does this mean that having a sense of humour indicates an evil alignment? It would explain a few things. ;)

Swan January 20th, 2010 02:57 PM

Re: Stacking Luck
 
yeah bad luck is hilarious, but being lucky makes your humor more effective, because well, you are lucky.
Don't forget that in any movies the evil is always funnier than the hero, so yes being evil stack with humor

Was I wrong?

On the contrary, you are wrong. And furthermore if your mage has the sword of Aurgelmer he will refuse to even go into battle if you script him to cast Luck so that ll show ya.
