A tank with 0-100 mph in 2.4 seconds and armed with 12 field guns is perfectly possible - the engineers *will* make it fit in - it'll just have more flaws in the design. It's quite good (recommmended investigation). The same principle could be applied to biological entities. Giving a creature lots of perks like infra-red vision, massive chase speed & camoflage (desert) could come up with random flaws like rear blind spot, unable to cope with normal temperatures (extreme heat only), must lounge around all day and also smelly. :) | Ling Lo of Remora (Top Banana) _O_O_ Elec Eng Dept, Loughborough University, UK. kllo#iee,org -- MUD-Dev: Advancing an unrealised future. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00222" HREF="msg00222.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PK and my "Mobless MUD" idea</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00232.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PK and my "Mobless MUD" idea</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00235.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PK's: A solution?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00222.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PK and my "Mobless MUD" idea</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00299.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: PK and my "Mobless MUD" idea</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00234"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00234"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00224" HREF="msg00224.html">[MUD-Dev] META: Mail archives and MIME attachments</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 29 Apr 1998, 01:25 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00320" HREF="msg00320.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: META: Mail archives and MIME attachments</A></strong>, Jon A.
