Getting everything you want is a demand, not a negotiation, and implies bad faith.
I've not seen any reporting which details what the supposed differences are, how far apart they really are, or any substantive detail at all.
I doubt that both egypt and qatar would jeopardize their role as mediators by selling a vastly differing counter-proposal as an agreement, and the fact that bibi's office is talking about sending it to their team rather than strongly rejecting it makes this seem to me more like israeli positioning than reality, but we'll have to hold firm judgement until actual details come out.
This third-party brokered cease fire has been the cease fire that israel and the US have accused hamas of holding up because they want to paint hamas as the belligerents, now that hamas has agreed israel has to undermine the legitimacy of the deal otherwise they look like the belligerents.
If it turns out to have all been meaningless theatre (this is a developing story), it was israel and the US who set the stage and invited the audience.
It's been my experience that most people's patience for george lucas decreases dramatically the more they love star wars.
Dear god in heaven - I'm pretty sure that applying percentages to a d20 violates the geneva convention.
Thanks for the horror story! What a cautionary take in how to destroy an otherwise serviceable core mechanic.
They're connected by a counter so it's an easy slide.
It sounds like you did a lot of research and aren't claiming to have found something new that every expert has missed.
I'm not sure why you're directing either the comment or the anger to me though.
Could you elaborate a little on the design issues?
From Wikipedia it looks like you roll 3d20 looking for at least two successes, where the TN is a character attribute.
I find success counting mechanics are much lower cognitive load at the table than adding up mechanics, plus there's a sensible limit to the number of dice and players will always have the target number written on their character sheet.
Plus that gives you a fairly clear 4 levels of success which is always easy to interpret as crit/pass/fail/crit fail.
I personally don't like using D20s but that core mechanic seems fairly smooth and elegant to me. Where does the physics degree part come in? Too many overly complex subsystems? Weird character creation?
I would love it for boiling pasta and then draining the water.
Iowa, her affections, like the rivers of her borders, flow to an inseparable union.
And this statue offers that union to come suckle at the proverbial teats of those mighty rivers.
Interesting! It doesn't to me. I don't feel that meaning in the context of sentence that is contrasting 'dark' with 'friendly'.
The only other time I can think of 'sitting in a cave' being used is by my parents before they would turn on the room light when they found me playing video games in the dark. Another context that is just about light and not size.
But I could believe that some people associate cave with small.
We're animals. Like all social animals we have behavioral norms and individuals who violate them in circumstances that benefit them.
Many animals display empathy, both in their behavior and neurology. Many animals understand, remember and display reciprocity. Many animals mourn. Many animals show strong evidence of forming assessments of individuals from other species.
Our actions are determined by the sum total of our genetics, experience and social expectations, same as any other social animal.
