This is, by far, the most boring off-topic conversation that I've seen on an Erfworld thread. Can we get back to talking about the potential for a Maggie/Sizemore hookup?

all this razor stuff is starting to give me a headache. So I went out and tried to find out the meaning...

Ockham's Razor is the principle proposed by William of Ockham in the fourteenth century: ``Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate'', which translates as ``entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily''.

A more straightforward application of the Razor is when we are face with two theories which have the same predictions and the available data cannot distinguish between them. In this case the Razor directs us to study in depth the simplest of the theories. --->http://physics.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physic...ww/node10.html

So the Razor says the simple explanation is better than the not simple explanation. But each explanation must use the same available data to come to different conclusions but the conclusions can't be unprove-able... Like you can't say ...
"Atom bombs work because God just $*** himself." How do you unprove or prove that?

... if a fantasy world has anything in it that violates the expected norms or science (for instance, D&D owlbears), it is explained away as being a magical effect. In this case, we already know the eruption was caused by magic. So the possible results are unlimited...

A 40 foot high undead lava golem arises in Gobwin Keep. No master. Nothing... except a pretty red headed girl holding some pliers.

Of course the golem falls in love, picks her up and carries her to the top of the mountain...

LOL! I think you understand what is really important here.

You have a dirty mind.

That really hurt my brain. I think I'd rather hear about the 40' uncroaked lava lamp golem.

It occurs to me, actually, that Maggie and Sizemore already are hooked up... with Wanda. And now the three of them are on their own in the Magic Kingdom, with nothing to do but...

You want to hear about the 40' uncroaked lava lamp golem hooking up with Scarlet?

I hear your pain. In the spirit of negotiation and compromise, let's discuss a Maggie/Sizemore/Wanda/Occam mega-swing.

Actually, what' going to happen is that the lava lamp golem will carry Scarlett to the top of the volcano, then Stanley arrives with the Dwagons and tries to shoot the lava lamp golem down. A little bit like this:

Truer words never spoken. This tread started out very interesting, with all the discussion about blood and body fluids. That helped me writing the plot for a Anson/Jillian/Wanda/Stanley/Sizemore/Misty/Maggie/Bunny/Manpower/Mung/Bogroll/RedMonsterDwagon Slash Fic (that story is by the way here). Sadly nothing interesting came after that.
Until now.

Oogh! Is that the live or uncroaked version of Manpower?

I see Wanda and Maggie in dominatrix gear whipping the rest, who are naked except for just enough accessories to look like the Village People, copulating in every possible way while singing "Oops! I did it again!" by Brittany Spears.

That's what you get for not running when somebody unrolls a Shockamancy scroll.

I love the depth you give your main characters, and the gritty realism with which you bring them to life in your slash fic.

I like the setup, but the ending left me wanting more.

More interesting would be a Maggie/Bunny thing. Yowza. Mung can be in it too, I guess. They need someone to guard the door against intruders.

[Jon Pander]

If we -have- to have a guy involved in the 'mega-swing' couldn't it be Mung instead? And replace Maggie with Bunny.

Now we're talkin'.

While I agree it is deep characterization, the twist ending was far too derivative of The Sixth Sense. I mean cmon, that ending came out of nowhere. So forced.

I followed the link, because I don't want to miss that action, bu I only see the title "Anson and Jillian and Wanda and Stanley and Sizemore and Misty and Maggie and Bunny and Manpower the Temporary and Mung and Bogroll and Red Monster Dwagon have sex. " I opened in Firefox and Safari on a MAC. Unless I am being dense and that *is* the plot. If so, that's cool--all it would need is a bit of artwork.

I'd like to think of my short story not only as the first erfworld slash fic, but as the first slash fic in the style of the New Objectivity.

[DevilDan]

Yes, it's a boring "aside," but I feel compelled to state that I doubt that the casters got points for the volcano's kills, just as Wanda didn't level continuously from all the action her uncroaked saw or Sizemore didn't level from the battles fought by his golems.

It's not a rickroll? I guess I'm just too darn cynical....

How do you know Sizemore didn't level? Or Wanda for that matter? Bogroll levelling was only mentioned as proof Ansom was dead.

(Don't look at my avatar that way! It could still happen.

Dude, you're foolamancing yourself.

A rickroll is beneath me. That was new in 2007, now it isn't.

Yeah, seriously, time for a new sig..... I don't think even the new linked mancers could uncroak Ansom now....

But Occhan's Razor is a rule of thumb. Pehapps the McDaddy of the Rules of thumb, but still

Given two models that describe the same effect we should pick the simpliest one. And hey that was a great thing in the Heliocentric x Ptolemaic models.

The problem is that it is no final proof.

In the formal expression, it provably identifies maximum probability. See "Minimum Description Length Induction, Bayesianism and Kolmogorov Complexity", by Vitanyi and Li (doi:10.1109/18.825807).

Sorry; pet peeve.
