*To Those Hosting Games that Fyron is in*
 

In case you didn't know, I recently moved to college. The internet connection here is rather spotty, and it goes down a lot. So... I won't be able to play turns on a regular basis. If you want to set the games to ALPU, that would be nice. If not, that's ok too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'm sure once you get busy with school work, you won't be playing in those 20-30 games as you did during the summer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

High School and college are two totally different ballgames...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yea College you can slack more because you no longer worry when the teacher says "If you don't study you won't get into college"

Re: *To Those Hosting Games that Fyron is in*

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I can't agree with ZeroAdunn more.

Generally, only the top percentile of high school students go to college which makes the competition for marks much more fierce.

Then there are the distractions of college which we all want to sample. Many students lose themselves in it.

The first year is always the toughest. The faculty usually weeds out students until an "acceptable" level of enrollment is achieved.

Complete the first year and the following ones are much easier.

But all work and no play makes for a dull boy. Entertainment is important and helps to maintain a balanced perspective in life.

With all the competing demands upon us as well as our oun desires to satisfy our needs, finding that balance is not only interesting and challenging

When You hit a situation that requires some morals ( or what ever you want to call them ) instead of wasting time thinking about it.

Go.

"Would Conan do this?"

If the answer is yes then do it.
If the answer is no then go rewatch the first movie and then ask your self the question again.

Repeat until answer equals yes.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Tesco, I am not sure that is good advice.

Say, a person runs over a little old lady crossing the street. A lot of people have the instinct to "run away".

Running away may allow the person to possibly avoid facing the repercussions of hitting the little old lady.

However painful staying at the scene may be, there is a greater likelihood of not being charged (vis-a-vis running away). And if they do charge you, the likelihood is that it will be for a less serious offence

But if you do run away and if the cops do find you, you will be charged with hit and run and God knows what else.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">How many do you mean by "top percentile"?

In the US, 61.7% of the graduating class of 2001 entered college the following fall. (The Web search I did to dig this up produced an URL too long to repost.)

Re: *To Those Hosting Games that Fyron is in*
 

Does that include junior colleges as well as normal colleges? JCs admit anyone that is breathing and 18. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Like compare universities where there are admittance standards and junior college where if Fyron is right they admit anyone.

I never attended college, but I did attend three universities to obtain three degrees. With faculties like Arts and Science, the standards are not too stringent. Faculties like Commerce, Law, and Medicine the standards are very high.

There is a strong (but not exact) correlation between good marks and the confidence the student has to enter university.

Students in the bottom 50 percentile are much less likely to apply to go to university than the students in the top 50 percentile. And of the applicants, the ones in the top 50 percentile are much more likely to be accepted than the ones in the bottom 50 percentile.

Of course, I am asuuming that all things are equal with the student in the top percentile and the student in the bottom percentile. Things like being a mature student or having course credits can shift the odds more in favour of the bottom percentile student being accepted.
