This is the one I usually use. It should work fine. Make sure there are no errors in the gmf itself either. GMF Compiler] GMF Compiler [/URL]

John visited an old people's home and began visiting with a blind, elderly lady. As he listened and learned from her experiences, he helped himself to some peanuts he saw in a jar at the side of the woman's chair. Having finished most of them and feeling a bit selfish, he asked the woman if she would like a peanut too. She replied, "Oh, I can't eat those things, my dear. I just suck the chocolate off, and then drop them in that jar next to my chair."

I think that MadBeaver and maybe Rojo are going to enter too.
BTW: I think that secret entries are better for objectivity.

SB, the SawTester looks cool and effective. But I could foresee the vulnerable sides issue, and maybe a SRM prob too.
Maybe your saws idea would work better as a (non-SnS) HS; more stable, no side protection issues, ... I actually have made 2 and they're pretty effective.
Oh yea; and I would echo with Nar as a (factual) mantra, make sure there's 'no empty space'.

Doesn't mean it can be easily stopped, though..... cause society IS degrading,.... no doubt about it.

You guys, 'Upload' your entries, so ACAMS can present them all 'anonymously' (for unbiased voting).

Very nice, S-32. Cool design.
BTW: ACAMS I thought the builders of the entries were to be incognito?

ACAMS: Haven't gotten struck by a bolt from the blue yet, but I still appreciate input, cause it's good for my cpu.
S-32, the more I think about it, the more I see it as plausible. Thanks for the arena idea. Still need help though, so anyone interested, please PM me.

Urj, it's not that simple. Under your premise, let me ask you (no harshness intended): Is it not also my own decision if I want to judge? And who are you to judge me for my own decisions about me? It's OK for me to judge, because I choose to. You cannot judge and impose your will upon me. Since you choose not to judge at all, then you cannot judge me for my decision, without rendering yourself a hypocrite.
And if we don't/can't evaluate/judge/assess, then does this mean that 'anything' is OK/right? Obviously not. (See CB's post above). So then, who is to judge/decide for a relationship/group/society what is right and wrong? What if ACAMS did not judge/evaluate/assess any one who came on this forum? What would happen to the forum community? Chaos.
No-win situation....
The point is this:
If we run only on instinct/tendency, then external control(rules,etc) are necessary to impose some kind of social order.
So neither is freedom.
Only consistant, internal logic-based, self-control, (1) helps us rise above tendency level-functioning, and (2) removes the need for external, imposed laws coercing conformity for social order.
If the steering and brakes on your car were broken, then it could not stay on the road or interact with other vehicles in any harmonious way. One could then, put up barriers and gaurd rails to keep the car in check and somewhat on the road. But if the car would own it's brokenness, and deal with self's issues to grow as a vehicle, then it would be able to function rightly on the road among other vehicles.
It's amazing, here in Mass, we have a requirement that all vehicles undergo an evaluation/judgement/assessment of it's conditon, before it goes out onto the road to interact with other vehicles. But we do not do the same with ourselves... Duh! And then wonder why our interactions with others results in scrapes and fender benders; (relationships don't work out).
Ok. I'm done...

Looks like a skinny Master Cylinder to me.
Hey! I think I could make that bo..... err...*proving the point*
BTW: Goose, CB, and I are forming a Union, so you better watch out or we'll ban your skinny bot.

Those laws are meant to keep us civilized. Take them away, and we become a mere pack of highly intelligent beasts.... [/COLOR] True, CB. But, Externally controlled/enslaved.[/COLOR] You can't call an animal "free" because they are ruled by, not laws in the political sense, but instinctive impulses. You know like me the three basic "laws" for survival: eating, surviving and reproducing. And, it works too for us humans, although not strictly. True, Nar. Internally controlled/enslaved. It is a somewhat involved, but very important subject. In simple short words, the only thing that can free us from (#1) the internal enslavement to tendencies/instinct, and (#2) the external enslavement of imposed rules and laws (needed as leashes to to hold the irrational dogs in check) is consistantly reasoning, objectively working minds that possesses self-control. If we each don't grow/mature toward this end, then the #1 will be true (no internal self-control), and then inevitably #2 will be imposed to maintain some semblance of social order (hold the dogs in check). This would require each to objectively examine self and then deal with the issues there. CB, what if the principles of order were not externally imposed upon us, but internally formed within us (intrinsic rational self-control); i.e. 'responsible' freedom?

I didn't think of that kind of arena. But sounds good...
I was thinking of using 4 'Force', laterally aligned into a (square) vortex. It's like the small river in the 'BattleGround' Arena, that I need Spyguy to skin for me... It will be have water (remove collision) and then 4 or more 'Forces' applied as described above.
We'll see...

Oh, I've got an Idea!
Whirlpool arena. This is a normal arena, with a spinning disc in the center. The thing is, that there is two rings outside of it, spinning at slower speeds. I'll explain.
Disk is spinning at 400
Ring one (inner ring) is at 300
Ring two is at 200.
And there is some spikes on the walls. Nice idea, S-32. This might be do-able. I will try your suggestion, if others can/will help... for I cannot do all of the work myself...

I think we should settle this by fighting online.
(Joking.)
I'm fine about gay people, I just hate such unkind behaviour to people. I agree. Are you telling that homophobia is genetically determined? homophobia: The term "homophobia" is a misnomer in the first place, used as propaganda to make any 'contrary opinions' concerning this life-style appear to be dysfunctional/wrong/bad.genetically determined: No, I'm not suggesting such. I was just turning the tables for the usual rationalization for giving license to any conduct one feels like doing. And as far as genetics, under the evolutionary schema, we are nothing but accidental products of our environs, and therefore my functioning can be nothing more/less than the genome I happen to inherit (i.e. Determinism). Thus we can do no differently; and I cannot help but function as I'm 'wired' or 'tended' to (i.e. feel). But we also happen to have 'minds' and 'wills' for understanding and choosing above mere instinct/tendencies. You cannot hold people responsible to be 'civil', when they can only do what they are tended to do; any form of 'civilization' is undermined. And this is what we see taking place today. Reason must rise above the level of a beast, else an Alpha ruler is needed to impose his will upon the rest of the pack. Personally, I find that two men hugging and kissing shocks something in me, perhaps decency, or something like that. What? Decency? What is this crap?
But hell, we're free countries. Gays are no danger for democracy. For underage kids? Some will be punished for that. Some, because obviously only some of them are child abusers.
Passing an anti-gay law? But, laws are supposed to be the domain of reason, not the process of feelings, e.g. hate/dislike here.
Dislike gays, personally, okay. But please, no Nuremberg laws again. I 'm not suggesting such, but rather an appeal to reason above forming relationships (hetero or homo sexual) based solely or even mainly upon stimulation/non-stimulation (sex). But I cannot expound on this here, else Spyguy will nail me again *hehe*. Maybe I could start a thread for some discussion about this, in all my spare time...(or maybe one of you). Conflict is a very interesting thing to be studied. I think so too.

Ugh, Homophobes. Hardly....S-32, Do you ever not agree with, and then vocalize that to, someone, because you disagree with the way they function(say/do)?....Like the assessment above, and this comment below:Inf(Pys), STFU. [/COLOR] That doesn't necessarily make you a 'biggot' or it 'hate speech'. Therefore, if you can assess and then express your opinion about how others function (like you did ACAMS and Pys[even before he spoke]), then they can too. Besides, maybe ACAMS and Pys 'were born that way', and thus can't help but find homosexual behavior objectionable.... Be fair and logical. 'Relativism' is a bottomless cesspool. If you have MSN, then we can talk about it. Input is appreciated...

In the mid-west we learned to check our shoes and gloves before putting them on.
I've seen them, but as the name implies they like to stay secluded.
Good thing it's passive and not pro-actively aggressive.

I once was bitten by a spider that had ingested a bit of U-238 isotope.
It didn't affect me at all....

I see a thief:nope:...
or a fly:eat:...
Gotta go....

Sage and I are completing ours, ACAMS. In a couple days at most...
(I'll have Zulu beam it right over.)
When the others are done, W-Nut. And make sure you follow through...

W-Nut, Hosting a Tourney is cool, and appreciated. But right now there is BBEANS going and RAW about to start. So just wait until one of these is finished, then have at it.
And when you host, start a new thread, and list your class, rules and parameters.
BTW: it's allot of work, but fun too.
