My New Name :)
I successfully defended my Ph.D today and so I have taken advantage of the forum name change feature

Of course, this means I now have - yes, you guessed it! - MORE TIME TO PLAY CIV2!!!!

Yay!

Mao - Some tricks just can't be taught to old dogs.

Hendrik - Of course we'll have some new updates! I have a review of DARAOE on the way, and there is another review already formatted and ready to go. Maybe I'll even get around to updating Platehead's.

Well done mate!

The resistance you have put into your study and research when Civ2 was just sitting there on your drive, calling like a siren, "Just one more game, just one more turn..." - well, it shows super-human dedication!

Cheers!

But what's even more important:
Will there also be more time for updates of the SLeague? Just wondering...



The number of updates generally corresponds with the level of contributions from within the community. Keep them reviews coming!

Well done!
The highest degree I ever got was "%STRING0 the Magnificent" at the end of a Civ game.

I hope that no one of you doctors will ever try to find a remedy against Civ2-Addiction...

what was the topic on which you promoted? We might think of some questions you can't defend.

I'm a cognitive psychologist (= someone that studies thinking, learning and memory).
My topic was memory and problem solving. I showed that people can rapidly store plans into long-term memory in a task they have no experience with, and talked about the mechanisms by which this occurs.

Congrats to you, too, then, Prometeus!

Once more a proof that Civ2-fans are intellectual people...
Compare it to people who play stupid shooting games.

Damn, I still got a few more years to go before I am a dr.

Hi, Steve, I ran several experiments using the water jugs problem. Essentially, people are shown three jugs, each of a different size. They are told how much each jug can hold (for example, 8 liters, 5 liters, and 3 liters). Then they're told what their goal is (for example, to get 2 in the first jug, 5 in the middle jug, and 1 in the last jug). Moves are made by pouring from one jug to another, stopping when you fill a jug or run out of water in the jug you're pouring from.

We forced participants to plan ahead and only enter their moves when they actually knew the solution. To make it even more fun, we interrupted them following the planning period but BEFORE they entered their moves. We made them do something else for a while, and then said, "So what was that plan again?"

There were several other experiments aimed at showing storage in long-term memory, but that was the most critical one.

Congrats Dottore!

P.S. It's a good thing that Xin Yu wasn't participating in the study. I'm sure he would have come up with innovative ways to move the water from jug to jug:

Pre-Dr. Blackclove: "No, no, that violates a house rule....you MUST pour the water!

Xin Yu: "Well, the readme didn't specifically prohibit siphoning!"
