Atilla's just this guy, you know? Temporary Measures.


Tanner: How was St Atilla's College for Ninja conceived? Was it a natural birth?

Atilla: I summoned it fully formed from the nether planes. 20 Hit Dice of newbies had surrounded the forum and NEHS was mortally wounded. I figured it was time to intervene before someone cast Feryn's Flaming Post.

 

Tanner: Would you say that it's reached greatest potential or do you think that there will be more added to it?

Atilla: I don't think it will change until v1.5 is released. As is, it covers more or less all the tricks of the game - the rest is mostly a matter of practice. However, the next version of N will have alterations to the physics, and some enemies - in particular, better paths for drones and floorguards. We'll probably have to add some levels - or at the least change a couple of descriptions - to deal with the changes.


Tanner: Can you be counted on to put together something similar for Robotology?

Atilla: Regretfully, no. I'm not sure that I'll purchase Robotology, nor that I will still be an active member of the community when it is released. For a start, I will finish my degree later this year - some things will have to change.

 

Tanner: We have Atilla's Quintilogy of Five and Atillus Secondus. Do you have any desire to release a third map pack?

Atilla: You want to know? Elucidation comes first. See?


Tanner: Was your user name in any way influenced by a certain Mongoloid?

Atilla: If you must know, I was accused of being related to a certain Hun after a string of particularly sarcastic remarks. I have not always been the paragon of patience and benevolence I am now. I use the double L instead of a double T because it's less common and thus more distinctive.


Tanner: Do you act mad because you think you're better than the rest of us?

Atilla: People who think I act mad haven't got the joke.

 

Tanner: Two trains leave a station at exactly the same time, travelling on parallel tracks. Both trains are identical but one has a slight eccentricity in it's wheels that causes it's coefficient of friction to be 0.1 less than that of the other train. Given a five hour trip, a weight of 100 tons each, an acceleration of 7.5 mph/s and a maximum speed of 120 mph, how many minutes will the first train arrive behind the second if both the wheel and the track are made of hard steel.

Atilla: None. According to the question, the trip time for both trains is five hours.
