Man I hate coming into a project whenit is 75% done. Don't want to contradict what others have already said. -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 09:36
Bear with me here. A question has four possible answers, labeled A, B, C and D. - prayformojo Oct 22, 09:36 22
- B -- nm - kelly Oct 22, 09:41
- B -- nm - Krusty Oct 22, 09:38
- If it's randomized by a person, B. If it's randomized by a computer, A. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 09:38 9
  - that's interesting -- nm - prayformojo Oct 22, 09:40 2
    - Totally flase, though. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 09:40 1
      - I didn't state the confidence levels :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 09:41

- D. Always guess D -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 09:37
- B. It's the new C. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 09:36
- my first instinct is C, but then I would think that of *course* they would expect me to pick C, and pick B instead. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 09:36

- report it. -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 09:32 7
  - next time you go to Ika, there is a dropdown on the top of the signin page, Is Evony on it? as most of their related games are. -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 09:38 2
    - it's a different company. I'm wondering if they got a hold of a members list or something. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 09:39 1
      - I've gotten Evony emails and chaulked it up to spam... -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 09:41

      - word -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 09:40

  - Yes, I just haven't decided where yet ... speaking of that, though - kilbo, could you generate a longer list of STers Paranormal Activity predictions? - Beryllium Oct 22, 09:25 2
    - Hmm. I don't have any way to know who is an STer and who isn't but it wouldn't be too hard to make a list of all predictions for a given movie -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 09:29 1
      - fair enough ... maybe a "top 20 closest" or something. Or a Top 10 Closest, and a Top 10 Closest PIRR. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 09:29
