Tactics Discussions Archive 2006 Tactics Discussions Archive 2006 By Ray Belanger (Rug) on Friday, February 03, 2006 - 12:00 am: Edit how come no one uses this firum any more? By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Friday, February 03, 2006 - 04:31 pm: Edit 'Cause no one has come up with a good tactical conundrum that needs discussing recently, I'd figure. Any ideas? -Peter By Kenneth Jones (Kludge) on Friday, February 03, 2006 - 09:39 pm: Edit ISC Vs. Hydran How should the ISC handle the determined H that is determined to close and moves to take the plasma on diff shields. By Scott Moellmer (Goofy) on Friday, February 03, 2006 - 11:46 pm: Edit === Concentrate std G('s)/F combos, or EPT? ;) By Andy Vancil (Andy) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 01:34 am: Edit Concede. The Hydran is invincible. (Except when he gets to range 0 and the HBs miss...) Seriously, though, if the Hydran tries too hard to charge and you are ready for it, he will lose. String launch plasma, OL the PPD, park, launch shuttles -- if he charges through all that, he will not have enough left to hurt you as much as you have hurt him. The key is to figure out at what point to stop trying to stay away from him and brace to receive the charge. If he catches you while you are still trying to run away, things will not go well for you. By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 01:55 am: Edit I don't think string launching plasma is going to work that well--between the ship gatlings and the two tractored fighters gatlings, it'd be pretty easy to chop them up and lose a couple flank sheilds. I'd think that launching both G torps so that they'll hit inside of 10 unless he turns off is the way to start the game--if he turns off, you might be able to score an OL PPD on his aft sheilds. If he doesn't turn off, shoot the PPD as a standard, blast up his fronts with phasers and a rear launched F as he closes, and plan on keeping the range open as long as you can. On T2, run as far as you can and reload, plan on parking either by hitting the wall or starting that way on T3, and hope you have shot him up enough by the time he corners you. -Peter By Andy Palmer (Andypalmer) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 02:16 am: Edit String launch the torps (standards + pseudos + an F if you can), OL the PPD. Do NOT stop. The Hydran likely won't be tractoring the fighters (power+vulnerability). Turn 2 - RUN! Still, this IS a tough matchup for the ISC; one hex of position off on T1 and its all over. By Kenneth Jones (Kludge) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 09:03 am: Edit I've tried mass launches. String launches etc. The Methane head still kicks my hinie So any help/arguments etc will only increase my understanding of this match up. One tactic I used to use was a Fast/medium/Fast speed plot with a PPD shot ending at R10 with a dual G launch with a ready HET, and a F chaser. I'm thinking on going back to it but unless I get some decent internals the H will chase me down before I can rearm and ream my ship By Ken Lin (Old_School) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 11:15 am: Edit There are many ways to play it from both sides - overall pretty even. However, the ISC has the capability to be the aggressor on the 1st pass. If the PPD is firing at R15 (sounds like you are trying to entirely avoid r8), that is taking a lot of the pressure off the Hydran because he doesn't have to worry about your phasers. How about fire the OL PPD at r8, with some combination of torps out 4-5 hexes in front of you, and holding your phasers for r5 (if he contnues to close) or r8 (if he turns off). Believe me, that is a lot for the Hydran to deal with, and if he crashes through, you still have plenty of additional torps to chuck at him. Give it a try, and report back. By Frank DeMaris (Kemaris) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 02:19 pm: Edit The last time I took the ISC against a hydran, I took a Paul Scott approach. Oblique at R10, launch the F and G torps on that side, turn in (ideally to R8 for a PPD OL, maybe just 5 pulses). Continue stringing out torps, including pseudos. ISC timing must be perfect, but he can strip the hydran of weaponry before the hydran gets close enough for the kill. Unfortunately, the hydran thought my setup was so good, he turned off and maintained R9 for the rest of the turn. Sigh. By Andy Vancil (Andy) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 04:03 pm: Edit Peter, String launching has its risks, but so does mass launching. The difficulty with facing the Hydran (in any ship) is that it doesn't have to make as many decisions in EA, but can react during the turn. If you launch en masse, that simplifies the decision-making for him. If your timing or board position is off just a little bit, he can gain a big advantage. If you string launch, then he has to make more decisions - turn off or charge through. If he decides to turn off, then you still have plasma on board. If he decides to charge through, he can end up taking a lot more damage than intended when you launch more. If he charges through one and then turns off when you launch more, he has eat one for no gain. String launching can take away some of his advantage in reactivity. The charging Hydran can be brutal. In one memorable victory I had, when the ISC conceded, I was down about 120 shield boxes, and he had one down shield and 75 internals. The key there was that after I had evaded/gatted down/taken on the flank his torps and cornered him, he was still trying to run, rather than stand and fight. An important thing to realize is that the Hydran can't just blindly charge anyone. He can't have the speed, and the fusions armed, and the gats ready to shoot you, and the gats used on torps, and the gats available to knock down your suicide shuttles, all in one turn. He can end up at the doorstep with less firepower than his opponent. At the start of the game, mass launches make more sense. If you can delay the close-in fight for a couple turns, you can maybe take care of the fighters, wear down his forward shielding a bit, let him slow down a bit to rearm phasers, and so on. After that, I think the string launch is best. By William E. Wood (Wxmanwill) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 04:52 pm: Edit I think your focus as the ISC player should be controlling the range (w/speed) and sanding off the Hydran's front shields. No ship is more vulnerable to the mizia thang. You have a one P-1 advantage so it will come down to a race between your ability to get his front shields down before he makes a hole in your shields... to let his hellbores chew on you. Good luck. By hughes b hoyle iv (Skein) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 04:54 pm: Edit Hydrans always get me My general approach for the attempt is offside g launcher as an enveloper range 10 to tempt the turn off. PPd at 15 to chew through shield . Turn towards far my start corner and launch the g and f together. Hydran just eats it all. Even with 20ppd dammage , 40 from enveloping g , and a stacked 40 g and f. He will phaser use his 4 phaser g`s on the torps and just degrade them too much. You just cant make him turn away. He will get the range 8 shot in return and you cannot engage any farther away and do any dammage at all with your puny plasma. His 4 fighter fusions beams and his 5 phaser ones will drop a shield and then two overloaded hellbores will hit. On turn one he will brick to stay with the fighters while overloading the bores. Turn two he runs and setups the turn 3 impulse 1 instant kill. Not a dang thing you can do about it. By James Mcmurray (Jmcmurra) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 08:12 pm: Edit Prior to saying this I should mention that I've only played one tournament game (my hydran vs. his andros). He said he'd never been beaten so I beat him :-) Hughes: Why are you enveloping the G on turn 1. You've already said it won't scare him away, so it would probably be better to just launch it normal. It also forces him to try to decide which G is real. If you overload you've given him all the info he needs to keep coming in. By hughes b hoyle iv (Skein) on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 11:18 pm: Edit Because he only needs one shield the front one to keep me from miziang all his weapons away. When you string launch which you MUST do as a ISC you allow him to take 2 plasma sets on the other two front shields.

    1 PULSE MAGAZINE: An exploration of Athens Ohio’s entertainment culture ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _______________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Journalism ______________________________________ by Bridget Nora Mallon May 2013 2 The American public seeks repose in the entertainment industry because it gives them the chance to escape their everyday lives, to indulge in something that does not require critical thinking and to take a step back from the sadness and defeat that dominate most sources of news. Countless people look for something light at the end 3 of the day, whether that be a rerun of their favorite TV show, a new album by their favorite band, or the latest release of their favorite magazine, instead of sitting down to watch the evening news, or read the daily newspaper. Magazines, in and of themselves are a form of entertainment, which makes them one of the most appealing sources of information for Americans who consume some form of journalism. Even if they are hard news based, magazines are perceived as more entertaining and enjoyable than other news sources. The average consumer sees reading magazines as a leisure activity, not solely as a way to find information. Unlike newspapers or TV news broadcasts, which people are likely to consume while engaging with other stimuli, magazine readers spend extended, uninterrupted, periods of time with their favorite publications. The average magazine reader spends 42 minutes with each issue, and is unlikely to engage with any other media during that time (MPA, 2011-12, p.

  • Stuck! the Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation Abstract
    DAVID SCHLEICHER Stuck! The Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation abstract. America has become a nation of homebodies. Rates of interstate mobility, by most estimates, have been falling for decades. Interstate mobility rates are particularly low and stagnant among disadvantaged groups—despite a growing connection between mobility and economic opportunity. Perhaps most importantly, mobility is declining in regions where it is needed most. Americans are not leaving places hit by economic crises, resulting in unemploy- ment rates and low wages that linger in these areas for decades. And people are not moving to rich regions where the highest wages are available. This Article advances two central claims. First, declining interstate mobility rates create problems for federal macroeconomic policymaking. Low rates of interstate mobility make it harder for the Federal Reserve to meet both sides of its “dual mandate”: ensuring both stable prices and maximum employment. Low interstate mobility rates also impair the efficacy and affordability of federal safety net programs that rely on state and local participation, and reduce wealth and growth by inhibiting agglomeration economies. While determining an optimal rate of interstate mobility is difficult, policies that unnaturally inhibit interstate moves worsen na- tional economic problems. Second, the Article argues that governments, mostly at the state and local levels, have creat- ed a huge number of legal barriers to interstate mobility. Land-use laws and occupational licens- ing regimes limit entry into local and state labor markets. Different eligibility standards for pub- lic benefits, public employee pension policies, homeownership subsidies, state and local tax regimes, and even basic property law rules inhibit exit from low-opportunity states and cities.

She stated that the minutes would be sent out by email to all members and they should read them before the next meeting so that they could be approved. Citizens Participation Period Ms. Fielding stated that a number of comments had been left online and one person who had requested to speak. Ms. Cook stated that the person who had signed up to speak was Emily Walter and unmuted her. Ms. Walter stated that on Sunday, May 31, there was a protest against police brutality that was met with police violence. What happened after the protest was an act that violated the rights of the Eastside community. Law enforcement agencies descended into a pre-dominantly Black neighborhood, blocked off streets with military vehicles, ordered citizens to go inside their homes despite the fact that the curfew was poorly advertised and hastily put in place and threw tear gas canisters into groups of people that included children and elderly.

  • New Insights in Alzheimer's Disease
    pharmaceuticals Review Journey on Naphthoquinone and Anthraquinone Derivatives: New Insights in Alzheimer’s Disease Marta Campora † , Valeria Francesconi †, Silvia Schenone, Bruno Tasso and Michele Tonelli * Dipartimento di Farmacia, Università degli Studi di Genova, Viale Benedetto XV, 3, 16132 Genova, Italy; [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (V.F.); [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (B.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors equally contributed to the study and both should be considered as first author. Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by memory loss, cognitive impairment, and functional decline leading to dementia and death. AD imposes neuronal death by the intricate interplay of different neurochemical factors, which continue to inspire the medicinal chemist as molecular targets for the development of new agents for the treatment of AD with diverse mechanisms of action, but also depict a more complex AD scenario. Within the wide variety of reported molecules, this review summarizes and offers a global overview of recent advancements on naphthoquinone (NQ) and anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives whose more relevant chemical features and structure-activity relationship studies will be discussed with a view to providing the perspective for the design of viable drugs for the treatment of AD. In particular, cholinesterases (ChEs), β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau proteins have been identified as key targets of these classes of compounds, where the NQ or AQ scaffold may contribute to the biological effect against AD as main unit or significant substructure. The multitarget directed ligand (MTDL) strategy will be described, as a chance for these molecules to exhibit significant potential on the road to therapeutics for AD.

  • Prospector October 8, 2020 Homecoming: Minus Coming Home
    Student Newspaper The Volume 120 Edition 2 Prospector October 8, 2020 Homecoming: minus coming home... Carroll students find new ways to celebrate John Phillips Staff Writer o football game, no king or queen, few alums on campus. Welcome to Homecoming weekend COVID-style. Carroll's Homecoming weekend is typicallyN filled with tailgating, sporting events, and the traditional bed race. How- ever, this year Homecoming week wasn't your typical event-filled week, thanks to the Coronavirus. Fortunately, Homecom- ing still included some fun and informa- tional events. One of the events that pushed through and became a part of the Homecoming festivities was the All Gender is Perfor- mance: Exploring Drag event. Initially inspired by the censoring and cancellation of the drag show on campus last spring, the new drag event explored the history and cultural role of drag in society and the LGBTQ+ community. The Thursday night event included many Carroll College professors, includ- ing Dr. Jeanette Fregulia, Dr. Leslie Angel and Dr. Andrew Thomas. The event was moderated by Dr. Dean Pavlakis. Besides just informing students about drag, it also brought students together. "Events like this can change peoples' lives, particularly those who may be nonbinary, queer, questioning, etc.," said Photo courtesy of Garry Marshall Fregulia.
