Moderators, I have a suggestion: to somehow contain the stream of words generated by certain entities, it would be worth limiting the maximum size of a single post, say, to 2000 characters: those who need to will still write 2-3 posts, but it will require more effort.

The moderators do not have such authority.

I'll suggest something else. There's a function to ignore users. I use it from time to time, and the list of talented individuals keeps growing.

I recommend it! ))

I imagine how tournament organizers write rules that are 3 pages long, and everything else is 2 pages long...
My message is 100 characters long, up to the words "my message".

Yes, I forgot to mention one more thing: on Twitter, there’s a “draconian” limit on the length of a post (160 characters, or something? I don’t know, I don’t have an account there) – and yet, people somehow manage to write! :)\nAnd also, I’ve wanted to write this for a while, primarily for ariputra, and for others who might follow his example:\nA.P. Chekhov said: “Brevity is the soul of wit.” A smart person is not the one who dumps gigabytes of (useless) information on the heads of readers of his posts, but rather, the one who can express his thoughts concisely and clearly. Take an example from another classic – A. Blok; this poem has been quoted endlessly, but that doesn’t make it any worse:

Night, street, lamp, drugstore,
Meaningless and dim light.
Live for another quarter of a century -
Everything will be the same. There is no way out.

You will die – and you will start again
And everything will repeat itself, as before:
Night, icy ripple of the canal,
Drugstore, street, lamp.

When you can write like that, people will want to communicate with you! :)

And another thing; I've been wanting to write this for a long time, primarily for ariputra, well, and for others who will follow his example:
A.P. Chekhov said: "Brevity is the soul of wit." A smart person is not one who dumps gigabytes of (useless) information on the heads of readers of his posts, but, on the contrary, one who knows how to express his thoughts concisely and clearly.

I already tried to convey this to R55Max, ariputra, and others.

FOR Marmot - http://ria.ru/education/20110406/361614150.html
RIA Novosti, I hope you don't consider this nonsense? You can find the bill, which comes into force on 01.09.13 and was adopted in the 3rd reading, yourself. I see that some people's brains and analytical thinking have been completely hollowed out...

Added 3 minutes later
And regarding the statistics on drug addicts. Maybe someone can surprise us with it, well, how exactly do you calculate it without taking into account the number of drug addicts somewhere? But based on the amount of drugs flooding Russia, you can draw certain conclusions and understand the interests of some individuals...

Screamer1982, since you asked for it – let's discuss your reading comprehension. :)
First, look at the date of the news: 06/04/2011.

The new law "On Education" in Russia may come into force...
"We will not rush the adoption of this bill until we have brought all points of view as close as possible," said Balykhin...
the new version of the bill on education will be discussed at the August pedagogical readings...
at the end of September, it will be considered at a government meeting, after which it will be submitted to the State Duma, and at best, it will be adopted at the end of the session.

Now tell me: where does it say that this law has already been adopted, and where does it say that school education will become paid for everyone?
Regarding drug addiction and statistics – of course, no one knows the real state of affairs better than you! ;)

heroes have completely hollowed out some people's brains and analytical thinking

And you can attribute this to yourself.

To Marmot
I don’t claim to have exclusive insight, but due to my work, my eyes are open to our entire system. I’m not completely innocent myself — I have several years of experience working in the Federal Drug Control Service, personally shutting down clubs like Prosvet, Tunnel, and Help. I currently work at customs and still see all the inner workings from the inside. It’s very sad to watch so many people assess facts based on the media rather than reality.

I’ve already tried to explain this to R55Maxa, ariputr, and others.

In each case, brevity is measured differently. Sometimes 100 characters seem brief, sometimes 10,000 characters. Sometimes brevity is needed, and sometimes it’s detrimental and makes phrases dull.

Many brief phrases require explanatory information, and most often not because they are not formulated correctly, but to convey the full depth of the phrase to the maximum number of people who have different ways of thinking, and everyone thinks differently.

Yes, you can find the bill we discussed earlier on the website of a Russian newspaper. However, it is written in a very convoluted way, and as usual, there is minimal publicity (as was the case with the decriminalization of Article 188 and a host of other amendments from December 7, 2011, to the Criminal Code). We will not argue further on this topic; I will only be happy to admit that I was wrong in the future.

Is it possible to do something about one-way teleporters in the HD mod (so that they work as two-way teleporters)?... And implement a guild of mages restructuring?

Yeah, and remove morale from neutral creatures, add troop experience, a bank, and classes.

When you start playing HL+U maps seriously, you'll understand that humor is inappropriate. :)

And also, is it possible to do something about the one-way teleporters in the HD mod (so that they work as two-way teleporters)? And to implement a guild of mages rebuilding feature? This is very critical when using the HD mod for HL+U templates.

...and also, wouldn't it be nice if each barrel of honey had a spoon that would scoop the honey and put it in your mouth...:D :smile54:
Or maybe it wouldn't be too much trouble to manually change the teleporters on the map if you don't like them?

work + dacha, no time
need to spare a bit for summer )

I'll reply soon, maybe briefly
maybe even the muse will help me )

oh for crying out loud, what does brevity have to do with it? if something interests me, it doesn't matter if it's long or short — I'll read it,

and if it's not interesting, you can always just not read it :-)

the thing is, in my subjective opinion, it's either: you don't like the person, or their delivery, or what they're saying, and that's why people harp on brevity

An old theater. curious gazes.
Whistles in the hall. and the actors come out.
Colorful masks. forms of attire.
In the sky like in a fairy tale. the sun of hope.
The stage shines. very beautiful.
The light impresses. there is potential
But the actor is choked by fatigue. it seems no love remains in the heart.

Meetings, embraces. quarrels, strife.
Sisters and brothers. people are actors.
Lips and hands. passionate scenes.
Happiness and torment. vows, betrayals.
Envy, desire. pain, pleasure.
Sin, repentance. death and birth.
Grief, loss. flame of suffering.
Duty and retribution. collapse of expectations.

Search for truth. weak faith.
The wise are right. happiness is a chimera.
Old age, illness. doubts in the heart.
Everything is useless except humility.
Hope stopped warming the heart.
The body fell flat, a mere garment.
The body is a shirt. the body is an apartment.
Bach's music. the music of the world.

The director's plan. pain intensifies.
Life leaves the actor's body.
A farewell song. glitter of decorations.
Sobbing in the hall. thunder of applause.
Scarlet roses. everyone in admiration.
Ribbons and tears. weekdays, oblivion.
The viewer leaves and reflects. someone always dies in the play.

The theater beckons. a new play.
The heart is bored. no interest.
The heart yearns. suffers in silence.
And does not rejoice and does not weep.

The heart has so little earthly happiness. the heart sought a different happiness.
The heart so yearns for eternal stages. the heart laughs, an eternal youth.
Where the refuge of all stories in the world is. where real children live.
Where actors are the pinnacle of perfection. and directors are forms of bliss.
Where all roles are played forever. where heroes do not die.
Where they know no grief or boredom. where the source of songs of parting lies.

Medium recently gave a cool example with a grandmother. A similar situation: the grandmother has a washing machine, but she doesn't use it; she prefers her usual method... plus, she has a valid argument: such complex technological advancements could lead to global catastrophes.

The third installment of Heroes of Might and Magic wasn't given to the world by God, but by an ordinary guy from the Netherlands, who didn't even imagine that you could play online at such a level. Accordingly, there are quite a few minor details that he couldn't foresee (or even guess about).
