Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

little mermaid,

Je pense qu'il ne faut pas faire toute une histoire pour cette modération. Simplement, ne pas parler de politique ici. Quand on présente une ville ou un lieu, ou que je parle d'aéronautique (avec les boomerangs et les frisbees), il n'y a pas de problème, même si ce n'est pas directement lié au WCG. On partage quelque chose de joli et/ou intéressant. C'est les sujets à polémique qu'il faut éviter.

Note: Penses à me rappeler de mettre à jour la page des badges, quand tu auras fini le prochain.

I think we should not make a fuss about this moderation. Simply, do not talk politics here. When presenting a city or place, or speaking of aeronautics (with boomerangs and Frisbees), there is no problem, even if it is not directly related to the WCG. We share something nice and / or interesting. It is controversial subjects that must be avoided.

Note: Remember to remind me to update the badges page when you have finished the next one.

Fléchettes & 501 / Darts & 501

Comme pour moi le Base Camp c'est des cruncheurs qui partagent un barbecue, il faut bien que je vous apprenne les bases statistiques, pour que vous ayez une chance de me battre.

Le but du jeu est donc de faire 501 points, pas un de plus ni de moins, le plus vite possible. Le centre rouge vaut 50 points, et le noir 25. La ligne au milieu représente les triples, et l'extérieur les doubles. Et on lance les fléchettes par trois, à chacun son tour.

Si on sait bien viser, on va viser le triple 20, soit 180 points en 3 fléchettes. 360 points en deux tours. Au 3ème tour, on fait deux triples 20, et un triple 7. C'est la partie parfaite, on ne peut pas faire mieux.

Le problème, c'est qu'on arrive pas forcément à viser juste à tous les coups. Et si vous regardez bien la cible, juste à coté du 20, il y a le 1 ! Donc si on ne vise pas vraiment très bien, il y a un risque de faire 1 point, au lieu des 60 qu'on voulait.

C'est là qu'entre en jeu les statistiques ! Si vous regardez à nouveau la cible, vous voyez que le 19 (dont le triple rapporte 57 points) a comme plus petite case à coté le 3. Si on est pas très précis, vu les cases à coté du 19, les jets 'ratés' vont statistiquement rapporter plus de points, que ceux qui serait ratés en visant le triple 20. Je vous invite à faire le test quand vous aurez l'occasion, si vous ne jouez pas souvent aux fléchettes. Vous devriez voir de vous même la différence (surtout si vous prenez le temps de noter les résultats).

Et oui, les fléchettes, c'est aussi des statistiques, et du calcul mental (pour les triples).



As for me Base Camp is crunchers who share a barbecue, I must teach you the basics statistics, so you have a chance to fight win me.

The goal of the game is to make 501 points, not one more or less, as quickly as possible. The red center is worth 50 points, and the black is 25. The line in the middle represents the triples, and the outside the doubles. And we throw the darts by three, each in turn.

If we know how to aim, we will aim for triple 20, 180 points in 3 darts. 360 points in two rounds. In the third round, we make two triple 20, and a triple 7. This is the perfect part, we can not do better.

The problem is that we do not always have to aim just right. And if you look at the target, right next to the 20, there is the 1! So if we do not really aim very well, there is a risk of 1 point, instead of the 60 we wanted.

This is where the statistics come in! If you look at the target again, you can see that the 19 (whose triple earns 57 points) has the smallest box next to the 3. If we are not very precise, given the boxes next to the 19, the 'misses' will statistically yield more points, than those who would be missed by aiming for the triple 20. I invite you to take the test when you have the opportunity, if you do not play darts often. You should see the difference yourself (especially if you take the time to record the results).

And yes, darts are also statistics, and mental calculation (for triples).

Absolutely right stefada, the forum rules are clear and the mods are just doing their jobs.

Sure.
History is full of people who were 'just doing their jobs'.
I guess I didn’t read them rules close enough
- or take them rules seriously enough
- or thought there was special rule bending ....
I polished my post for hours before publishing as I have done most of my posts.
This has been a humiliating experience for me as well as a saddening one.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Little Mermaid,

Faut passer à la suite, il n'y a rien de dramatique à une modération. C'était juste pour nous rappeler, qu'on est pas ici pour faire de la politique, c'est tout.

Aller, un magnifique coucher de soleil sur l'île Chiloé, pour bien commencer la journée :
---------
Must move on, there is nothing dramatic about moderation. It was just to remind us that we are not here to play politics, that's all.

Go, a beautiful sunset on the island Chiloe, to start the day:

Right, stefada.
It's the narrowing of the tolerance spectrum that can worry you
- unless you're into processing of fine mechanic parts

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

- a beautiful sunset on Chiloé, Chile, stefada, or a hot air balloon sunrise in Luxor, Egypt


Good Morning Base Campers!
Shop talk
The badge for July’s top40.nl 2.0 trek is ready and
approved by the Badge Review Committee
- which was easy.
The Chairman made it himself biggrin



The motive is an owl.
The owl symbolizes many things to diffent peoples.
It’s behaviour and looks
– hunting at night on silent wings
– its howl which can be scary to some
– its eyes, forward looking like our own and the cat’s - an amazing precision night goggle hunting tool
- its ability to turn its head at least 180 degrees
alien 2 plenty of things to feed your superstition

Where I come from the owl is the bird of wisdom.
And that is what this badge should mean.
Captain adriverhoef is wise and knowledgeable,
he examines the issues in depth,
he writes his posts pædagogically,
he gives feed-back,
he’s always willing to help
- perhaps more of human traits than owl ones
At our top40.nl trek
– which was not called 1.0 because we did not know we would return
the badge focused on adriverhoef’s exceptional knowledge of music and his love for it.
2.0 will focus on his wisdom and knowledge.



3.0?
cool We’ll find something if top40.nl 3.0 comes up
… charcoal, containers, languages ...

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Little Mermaid,

J'ai mis à jour la page des badges. Au moins tu es sûre de ne pas perdre le nouveau. Et tu les as tous au même endroit.
----------
I updated the badges page. At least you are sure not to lose the new one. And you have them all in one place.

wink

J'espère qu'à l'occasion de ce trek, la Team top40.nl va monter très haut.
----------
I hope that on the occasion of this trek, Team top40.nl will go up very high.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Thank you, stefada. We'll see what happens.
You have educated us about a lot of flying, so now we are at the hot air balloon.


I remember we read in school about Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition
that happened more than a hundred years ago.
From the name you would think he was French, but he was Swedish as were his two companions.
They all perished during their attempt to reach the North Pole in this manner.

The shape of the balloons is captivating for me.
How about you?
Like an upside down old fashioned wrecking ball.
Riding in one also.
The silence - if the burner is not activated - and the gentle movements.
