Workshop Booze Up IV - Enough with the hangovers, get talking!

[Captain Carthage]

Quick how do we perform mathematical CPR!?

[Silver Wolf]

First we need to pull out the sternum! Quickly now, no time to waste!

Someone fetch a car battery!

...and realising how little I understand people. And how little people understand statistics. And argh. I think I should stick to here in future, here's civilised.

Yes, just stay here. (see below)

Maths... too much maths... dying...

That's because you double-pluralized it; "math" is already plural.

[Phoenixguard09]

I fear for the world when here is considered civilised. I mean, sure we're of a higher standard than, say, TaleWorlds or Warseer or TWCentre but by God! We're feral!

We are still on the interwebs. Do not forget men, there is no civilisation on the interwebs. There is only TROLLS!

Another report.

Two sawn off heads, split in two parts.
Human brain is so complex.

Math, despite actually being a contraction of mathematics, sounds and looks as though it isn't plural. Maths on the other hand keeps the s from mathematics, to show that there is more than one 'mathematic' being talked about. Also, what did the s do to America in the first place?

You don't say "hairs" when referring to all of them on your head now do you?

[Marcus]

But hair is most commonly referenced as a single thing, even though it is made up of many hairs. Maths is a general term for a varying range of numbers, equations etc. And those equations and numbers are distinct, and rarely referred to as one object, because they vary immensely. Hair doesn't much, at least not on the same head.

[comrade_general]

Ah, but we use the term to refer to all of it as a subject, not a varying range of numbers, equations, etc.

i.e. "I'm doing my math homework."

Besides it seems like a complicated bit of pronunciation, because you have to violently scrape down your tongue with your teeth when going from the "th" to the "s" sounds, when much simpler is it to say math. Math. Math. Math.

I have a pretty random question...

Is modding Total War games hard?
I was thinking about making TEATRC mod for MTW2.

[comrade_general]

I personally think that modding MTW2 is ten times harder than RTW (which is the best ). But it's up to you.

[Jubal]

It does vary. RTW is generally considered the easiest to mod.

[Silver Wolf]

I personally think that modding MTW2 is ten times harder than RTW (which is the best ). But it's up to you.

But the gameplay mechanics do not fit the TETRC settings. MTW2 would be the best choice...
And I no longer have RTW.
