The Turtle plays best with people who don't know him at all, or people who know him very well. People who don't know him at all generally leave him alone to create world peace. People who know him very well know that the curse is powerful and can cause real effects, and thus they leave him alone. People who don't know him well, but know him, want to make an example of beating him just to prove the curse? doesn't work.

The turtle believes there is a sort of magnetic attraction between himself and asshatters, which draw them preferentially to him. The force of attraction is inversely proportional to the number of times the player has played with him (people who don't know him, and learn of the Curse?, tend to attack him preferentially to test it) and also inversely proportional to the distance to his borders (they have to be adjacent to attack, a universal truth in Lux.

Generally, yes. He is acting out his part of the Curse? and will throw the game to the person who was the least aggressive towards him if possible. However, if you attack him and earn the Curse? it does not necessarily mean he will attack you until he can't (i.e., suicide).

far as keeping turtles together, it is typically not wise to keep turtles together that are greatly difference in size or from different regions of the world. For adding in fish, frogs, salamanders, lizards, etc, it is not really a good idea. Read through the article linked below for more information on what and why.

This is just one more example of polarization by reflection. Although the light from the sun is not polarized, it can be separated into two polarized components that are reflected and transmitted in different amounts by the surface of the water (Fresnel laws). More of the horizontal component will be reflected than the vertical component, thus partially polarizing the reflected light (except if you look at a glancing angle or straight down).

If you attack the Turtle when he has either completed a continent or obviously is about to (thus removing his income), farm uninvited, or do anything which in general lux terminology would be considered "asshatting" the Turtle, you may earn the Curse?. The Curse is a probability field that makes it unlikely you will win the game. Of course, the Turtle may not win either; the Curse? does not help the Turtle, it only harms aggressors against him.

of June 28, 2007 there is a 97.3% chance you will lose the game (that is, not come in 1st) if you attack the Turtle. Currently the Turtle wins roughly 20% of these games. There is a 98% chance you will not be first. This is based on 182 games lost by those who earned the Curse? vs. 5 games won. Updates will be posted at the top of the FAQ.

The Turtle is basically peaceful. He likes to let others act out their aggressions and bring peace and order to the world by winning the game. However, there are Unbelievers who do not want world peace and so they attack the Turtle. The Turtle hardly ever attacks first, but of course he must eventually do so to win the game.

the Turtle if you are making a play for an end-game and it is necessary for you to win (as the Turtle usually has no cards, this means there is usually no strategic advantage in killing the Turtle until you are about to win; thus the Turtle is next to last to die.)

The Turtle is well aware when he is being used; if it is in alignment with the Curse? he has no objections.

Aside from being able to declare peace, the Turtle's wife says she hates the "death noise" and wants it changed or changeable. Otherwise it's a near-perfect game. ALL HAIL DUSTIN

Improv is improvisational theatre—a theater art in which there is theater, but without all of the complications of blocking, scripts, and knowing whose turn it is to talk. There are many flavors of improv, but most are striving for more or less the same goal, namely to create something off the top of your heads that seems as though it was rehearsed. Improv can be an idea generator, a warm-up or characterization exercise, or as at usually is in our case, entertainment and fun.

Phone can read such parameters required to identify (location of) BTSes like their numbers (see test 11) or TA (see test 1), but readed TA couldn't have been distance from BTS station in straight line (signal can break down) and continuosly isn't possible finding, in what direction (what corner) BTS stations are located (which are "seen" by your phone). So, it's possible to identify area only, where you're (in cities, where BTSes are located more close, it will be more precisely).

To define what a vampire is you need look no further than Chambers' Twentieth Century Dictionary which offers the following: "An accursed body which cannot rest in the kindly earth, but nightly leaves its grave to suck the blood of sleeping men [and women]." Witney's Century Dictionary concurs that the vampire "maintains a semblance of life by sucking the warm blood of living men and women while they sleep.

Turtles and Tortoise belong to the same family called Testudines. However, the Tortoise is a member who is well...

You can use the following measurement in order to decide if your turtle needs a bigger accommodation: The accommodation should be at least four times the length of the largest turtle, the width should be at least three times the width of the shield. The height of the water should be just as high as the average length of the turtles.

Especially turtles that get fresh meat are very sensitive to salmonella infection. Chicken meat is one of the great causer. A method is to fry or cook the meat first, only this is not good for the animal. After all, they do not get it cooked or fried in nature. If you follow the tips we give you at the various descriptions of species, the chance for infection is very little. Make sure you always wash your hands with a disinfecting soap after you have been close to the turtles with your hands.

Since the red eared sliders are (sub)tropical animals of origin, most of them will have a winter sleep. Yet, these animals are found throughout all of the United States. All these animals come together at turtle farms, and the animals from all regions are crossbred here. Even the animals we have here for years that copualte get children from 'mixed' parents.
