I would think the easiest thing would be to map a dungeon (use polygons) onto a google map and use markers for the people. Dice is just a bit of code away I'm sure.

LOL it's true! On the last one I've actually had someone say "Oh...I didn't know why you had marked them" when I had expressly said I was marking before I did. sigh

Perfect age and economic bracket would be what I would say. Probably 3 years either side would work well too. Earlier decades would have encouraged other tech geek but the early 70's late 60's was definite good to geek time to be born.

You've been to an electronics store, rung up your merchandise, and the employee at the door asks you for your receipt. Do you (a) Willingly comply -- after all, every store has to discourage shoplifters somehow (b) Feel insulted?
I comply...no need to be rude about it. Although legally, they don't have the right to search your property...and yes, it is your property once you've paid for it. Only Costco can legally get away with this as you allow it when you agree to their contract upon joining.

I'm insulted -- but I'm still polite about it, because it's important to always be polite. Sometimes I smile brightly, say "No thank you!" and walk by. Most of the time I go along with it, but I don't like it.
- Mitch Wagner
There's also the option of politely declining. They can't require it, even though they might like it.
- Goldie Katsu
Willingly comply. As long as I've done nothing wrong, why get all bent out of shape about it. At least here in Austin, Costco and Fry's check receipts and merchandise of every person who walks out the door, so it doesn't phase me any more. They're doing their part to keep shrinkage down, which helps keep them in business and, hopefully, keeps the prices I pay down.

If the checker at the door also waits tables at night at a restaurant where you under-tipped them, then you *already have* stolen and will now be frisked. That's what I learned on FF http://beta.friendfeed.com/itblogg... anyway :P

Sad. The key phrase I think is: "Until they realized he might be serious." We are so used to sensationalized fakery...if its broadcast and not our friend how do we tell it's real and how do we know when it's someone doing it for the lulz? "Just ignore the troll" has its dark side. No one wanted to hear "ha ha faked you out - you dupe."

I love the creativity and style of steampunk. My personal style is very Victoriana (taste in Jewlery and clothing) so I suppose that when this extends to technology it is no wonder that I love it.

How much do we take our senses for granted and how can we used multi-media to share an experience that would otherwise be unavailable to many with only one medium.

I remember talking about something like tigerbow back in 1999/2000. Now there is a context for it and a market for it. Interesting watching society evolve.

There is something about the shiny reflections of the floor that makes me want to touch it. My mind imagines it to be very cool to the touch and smooth.

lol and I was just coming here to let you know it wasn't about the pain it was about the "it's just a fashion statement". I was only briefed last night.

How much of reality can be fabricated? How do we vet our news sources - mainstream or otherwise? Just because it is seen many places doesn't necessarily prove its veracity. It could all be from the same source. (Don't even need a DNS hack really - social engineering is so much easier.)

And how many things use the phrase "and eye for an eye" (which means the value of a rich person's eye is the same as the value of a poor person's eye) as an expression of vengeance and yet no games have been pulled because of use of line from the holy bible. Vanity of vanities; all is vanity ;)

The idea of the game evolving with the player's actions is a fascinating one. One random question - although I'd love it is there enough a market for those who want to explore and not have the "how others did it" forum posts to get them through?

When I quick glanced at this photo the center stairs reminded me of stairs on digs of temples or pyramids. In future archeological digs will malls look like (one of) our places of worship? (not meant as a political comment but just as a visual one.)
