Greetings,
Now I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, but don't let that fool you, I've been busy!
Read more for info on all the new junk I've added.
New Site Creator/Editor
I've been working on this for a while and am pretty tired of it, as such it hasn't received a lot of testing, so I expect it to be pretty buggy for a few days. If you encounter reproducible errors, post here or send me a PM.
I've also added a "Holiday YTMNDs" content box, if your site has a keyword like: christmas, kwanza[a], ha[n]nukah, chan[n]ukah, etc, it will be in the running for this box. As always, keyword abuse is grounds for site deletion, so don't try and cheat.
I am also working out a new system for limiting edit changes, you can read about it here and discuss it here.

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd / Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo / Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd / Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo / Folks in a town that was quite remote heard / Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo / Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard / Lay ee odl lay ee odl-ooh
What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness
And say to you, "Everything unutterably small or great in this life will have to return to you,
All in the same succession and sequence, even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself - the eternal hourglass." Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?
Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him:
"You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine!" If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you,
Or perhaps it would crush you;
The question in each and everything,
"Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?"
Would you lie upon your actions as the greatest weight!
This life as you now live and have lived it before,
You will live once again
And there will be nothing,
But every pain and joy,
And every thought and sigh,
And every pain and joy,
And every thought and sigh!
Or how well disposed would you become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
The question is the greatest weight!
It seems that, in its early days, YTMND acted like an infant, imprinting the first fads it saw, permanently. Now, quite arbitrarily, fads like NSMB and Peppers are indistinguishable from YTMND. Somehow, folks think that these fads ARE the essence of YTMND, instead of a chapter in its development. Rather than moving on, people keep going back to the same dry well, years later. It's a shame, really.
OK KaneRobot... how about instead of thinking of an idea that encompasses everything from AtoZ like, you know, "Guy stealing bike with someone chasing and 'n*gg* stole my bike' playing" you pick a concept and try to do something creative with it. Pick anything. Pick, say, "The difference between the norm and the normal" or "Giraffes look like trees" and run with it. Or, you know, do 11 things at once like I do. If you run out of ideas, it's probably because your idea of an idea is too narrow.
A circuit diagram (also known as an electrical diagram or electronic schematic) is a pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the different components of the circuit as simplified and standard pictograms, and the power and signal connections (buses) between the devices. Arrangement of the components and interconnections on the diagram does not usually correspond to their physical locations in the finished device.
“The function in question can completely and correctly be implemented only with the knowledge and help of the application standing at the end points of the communication system. Therefore, providing that questioned function as a feature of the communication system itself is not possible. (Sometimes an incomplete version of the function provided by the communication system may be useful as a performance enhancement.)”

I also agree. The game creates a significant personnel group, gives them ratings and then doesn't follow their history. At the very least managers hirings and firings and career records should be kept. It is surprising that this is overlooked. Everyone that starts a new game this year and expects to buy next years version will not have any historical data on managers etc. to look back on.
We are going to include separate dwarf and elf leagues (independent leagues) where dwarf and elf players will develop specific skills such as increased HR power in the dwarven players and increased speed in the elven players as an example. The "professional" human league will then be able to draft from those leagues (as well as their own minor leagues). It will probably be limited how many elf or dwarf guys you can have on a team though.
Okay, I'm going crazy. The end of my eyelid somehow got swollen and I keep rubbing and scratching causing my eyelashes to curve and go into my eye. It irritated the sh*t out of me so I kept rubbing it and pulling it and I took like half my lashes off and it's addicting now. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.
From Wikipedia: "...his condition [of near-total blindness] appeared to have little effect on his productivity, as he compensated for it with his mental calculation skills and photographic memory. For example, Euler could repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he used could indicate which line was the first and which the last." In short, Leonhard Euler is greater than you and gets three times as many ladies.
The practice of douching is now largely restricted to the United States[citation needed] , where douching equipment is often available in pharmacies. It is estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women aged 15 to 44 years douche regularly[citation needed] . About half of these women douche every week. Many European women douche but because of the confusion with the French meaning that a douche is a shower, it is called vaginal irrigation.
In the 1970's Marion (The Mom) in Happy Days (with Ron Howard as Richie, and Henry Winkler as "the Fonz") would write only "TP" on her grocery list. There was an episode in which she sent her son Richie to the store for "TP" and was chided for her modesty. The 1990s animated series Beavis and Butt-Head frequently referred to toilet paper as "TP" ("I need TP for my bunghole"), and the terminology subsequently caught on among the general public.
There are two main uses: as a verb and a noun. Using the word as a verb, one could say, “Dude, that suxxorz!”, meaning, “That sucks. It is not good.” Using the word as a noun, one might say, “You are the suxxor.”, meaning “You are a bad person; you are bad at what you do.” Literally translated, this means, “you are the suck,” but it could also mean, “you are a sucker (i.e. fool).”
An updated version of the format premiered in the United States in 1972 on the CBS television network. In this new iteration, contestants place one bid on an offered prize; the player who bid closest (but not over) then got to play one of several mini-games (dubbed Pricing Games in most countries) for an additional prize. One contestant, through various elimination formats, could find themselves winning a large showcase of prizes at the show's conclusion.
Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday. Why? [...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.
Hilbert spaces allow simple geometric concepts, like projection and change of basis to be applied to infinite dimensional spaces, such as function spaces. They provide a context with which to formalize and generalize the concepts of the Fourier series in terms of arbitrary orthogonal polynomials and of the Fourier transform, which are central concepts from functional analysis. Hilbert spaces are of crucial importance in the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics.
Hey guys at the end of the night my favorite DJ was playing the Macguyver theme song and I laughed so hard I spewed Washington Apple out my nose.. I also was proposed to by a Frenchman and one of my friends spit gum into my Woodchuck bottle from a distance of 4 feet. Best night evar? Certainly the oddest...
Your first task is to complete the Hunt: "Dalmasca's Desert Bloom." The
Cactus Flower that you get from this Hunt is a necessary element. In addition
to this you will also want to complete the Hunt: "Marauder in the Mines."
Make sure not to sell the great Serpentskin. This can still be completed
without it, but the rewards will not be as good.
It begins with Dantro who is located in the Dalmasca Estersand (at the camp).
He's the one who gave you the Dalmasca's Desert Bloom quest. Make sure not to
do this until after you have completed the Tomb of Raithwall. He'll tell you
to head for the village on the south bank of the Nebra.
Take the east exit from here and begin heading very far north. About three
screens or so north, just above the Banks of the Nebra. Dantro's wife is the
villager standing in front of one of the houses. In return for the Cactus
Flower you will get a Bundle of Needles.
Leave the village and then immediately come back in. There is now a group of
people waiting by the dock at the north beach. Speak to the kid on the dock
and agree to accompany the boy.
! Max, doubt you'll ever read this but I hope others will follow (and hats off to those who already have said something); Please, please make NSFW YTMNDs default as viewable on the main page. Many very funy YTMNDs are not being viewed because most don't know about the option to view the front page. The front page is like the holy grail. Don't deprive passer-bys of it. Embrace the racism, nudity, and profanity that makes YTMND great.
