DotA Ii discussion thread DotA II, what is it? A history. DotA II (no longer an abbreviation due to copyright issues) is a 10 player game where opposing teams battle it out to take down the other's 'throne'. The game has origins from the Starcraft map Aeon of Strife, and was developed into a Warcraft III mod by mapmaker Eul. It was quite popular as a custom game alongside many others at the time. Like many customs it had many publishers at the time each with their own version, one of the most popular versions was by Guinsoo called DotA - Allstars but it was heavily plagued with balance issues. A mysterious figure called Icefrog decided to publish his own version of Allstars which the community found to be far more balanced and fun to play a

The Gas Mines of Uranus Project Icarus is an ambitious five-year study into launching an unmanned spacecraft to an interstellar destination. Headed by the Tau Zero Foundation and British Interplanetary Society, a non-profit group of scientists dedicated to interstellar spaceflight, Icarus is working to develop a spacecraft that can travel to a nearby star. Adam Crowl, Module Lead for Fuel and Fuel Acquisition for Project Icarus, investigates the pros and cons of various fusion fuels required to accelerate an interstellar vehicle to a nearby star.

A couple suggestions. [header] Reorganise the rules [/header] At the moment, the rules are fragmented into many seperate threads: [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/show/rules]Official rules.[/url] [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Basilmarket-Rules-290.html]Extended version.

Therefore many new users will be suspended unknowingly that they broke a rule. This problem could be solved if the later two threads were merged with the offical rules with spoiler tags to preve

Bullied child makes a stand. Casey a child who has been bullied for many years by many students at his school finally makes a stand while some of the bullies are trying to record their act to post on YouTube. Here is the video: Casey recieved 4 days academic suspension for his act, while the bully recieved 20. I believe the suspension of Casey is unfair as it shows that if students stand up to bullies in ways other than the ineffective 'tell a teacher method' which students find degrading and also encourages the bully further as it shows 'weakness'. Furthermore, punishing bullies with suspensions does not make them not a bully - it just removes them from the school. Showing bullies the hard consequences of bullying I believe is a better way
