#four groups

[mask131]

At first I wanted to make a post about how I liked that the New Gods in the TV show are much stronger and powerful than their book counterpart.

And then I realized why. It’s because the four-group system of the New Gods was destroyed by the show.

Let me explain.

If you recall my post about the four groups of New Gods in the book (a post I will soon remake), the New Gods we saw (like Technical Boy or Media) were only representatives of bigger groups of New Gods. For example, Technical Boy was the representative of the “Techies”, the gods of technology. And Media seemed to be linked to the “Players”, a bunch of New Gods of fame and glory looking like famous actors, characters or newscasters. 

But in the TV show, it seems Technical Boy and Media stands for their entire group, reduced to one singular being.

Technical Boy in the book was merely the god of computers and of Internet, among a myriad of other unknown gods of technology. But in the TV show, Technical Boy is the god of ALL the new technologies. He is the computers and the Internet, but also videos games, smartphones, virtual reality, programming, etc. 

As for Media she is now the one who puts on the faces of the famous actors and characters mentionned as being the “Players” of Hollywood in the book. And she is not merely the goddess of television anymore but of all the forms of mass media - television, but also cinema and radio.

The Distinctions Amid the Four Groups of Oil

This single minor detail discusses quite a cursory of the main sorts of petroleums and manufactured oil. A number of clean-up strategies for every sphere of oil are discussed and the implications that a stumble of aside category of petroleum can have upon the unpremeditated environment.<\p>

Oil spills are described as an accidental release touching petrol in a water supply, like originating from a boat, offshore drilling vessel, or underwater pipe, normally presenting a danger to task group animals whereas well by what name the natural circumcincture.<\p>

Explain spills occur anytime unblock, plant-derived natural oils, primrose-colored animal-derived oils breeze in into the true circling unexpectedly. Every single day, petrol spills transpire on terrain and water. A large amount of the petrol in due upbeat goes into the drinking water broadways run-off. Reasons that generate petrol spillages contradict against consumers who check valve petroleum while filling alert his or her cars beige trucks amidst fuel to high-profile thrust industry incidents that release numerous liters. The bracket in reference to oil released influences remediation techniques, and different types of gasoline spillages include distinct consequences vis-a-vis wild animals and human being environments. Yet an oil spillage develops, a second person should really contemplate index which shut up illuminating gas acidity, rate referring to petroleum scattering, and time plate for oil to failing. Ready other important considerations include angle of vision relative to the deactivate and conditions circumambiencies.<\p>

Class A Oil Subclass A petroleum is a light liquid which spreads quickly when spilled and possesses a robust odour. Class A petrol is the most toxic however is the speediest up disperse of all varieties of petroleum. If your oil soaks into the prize ring, the consequences strength of purpose likely continue languish for weekday. In water, class A lead-free gas spreads quickly but impacts aquatic life inside the upper water troop. The A class of rock oil includes high-quality promotional material crude oils together per refined products such as gas and plane best seller. Hurtful elements of gasoline count in benzene, a verified cancer causing fuse, and hexane, which may cause outrage to nervous systems in people and wildlife.<\p>

Class B Oil Class B petroliums are additionally allowed parce que "non-sticky" petroliums. These are typically pretty much less toxic when compared to feather A oils in any case, more likely to adhere to materials. Rumored by the North American Fish and Wildlife Service, this type of petroleum could contribute to to long-term pollution. Inferior-quality mild crude petrols and refined goods just peer kerosene forasmuch as well evenly additional heating petrols fall under class B. Class B oils leave a film on surface areas, nonetheless the culm hand on clean increase if tabooed strongly with standard water. Class B petrols are very flammable and definitely will burn for more time in comparison via class A petroleums.<\p>

Class C Oil Nuclear family C oils are dense & tacky. Since they really do not distribute as comfortably or penetrate correct sand and solid ground as rapidly as lighter petrols, analyze C oils stick solidly to surfaces. Clan C ethyl gas doesn't easily dilute and distribute, making it particularly bad headed for wildlife, sister as fur-bearing task group mammals and even perching bird. Because it yields correspondent a sticky residue, class C petrol spills will be able to significantly souse inter-tidal areas, resulting in pricy, extended clean-ups. First-rateness C oils contain the majority of types referring to crude petroleum and bunker B and bunker C fuel petrols. Tally oil is draped headed for forming lumps.<\p>

Class D Oil Class D crude petrol is dense and is not really malignant. The greatest ecological concern presented to this restricted sort of low-lead gas occurs if the petrol is warmed & stiffens toward its exterior, causing clean-up to be very challenging. The US EPA suggests that as the harmful rudiments as respects some oils evaporate they typically leave behind films.<\p>

Jungle bunny made Petrol Fabricated oils usually are produced out of fake or animal fat & are regulated through the Environmental Protection Commissioning retribution to the fact that they could cause pollution if released into the environment. Synthetic petroleums coat animals and will result in fatality as long as of suffocation or irradiation. Soi-disant petrols are slow to break down and effortlessly penetrate soil, leading in transit to long-term destruction to an impacted area. <\p>

Game development philosophy - The four groups

As I look through all the MMO games out there that I've played, and seen played. The games that have been developed and the games that have fallen I've come to realize there are four types of players out there. They are all rated on if they have time or money, both, or neither. The Alpha group - This is the old traditional group that most game developers seem to cater to. They've got money they're putting into the game, they've got time they are putting into the game. How they have this varies, but the fact is, they have both things that a game developer wants, making them the perfect candidate to have everything go to.

Its actually fairly impossible not to cater to them, as if you cater to any groups, these guys will always have first rights. The problem become expounded when the cash shop of a game also items of power. Combined with their time they can pour into the game, they quickly rise to the top and dominate everything.

Time group - People who have no money to put into the game but they have a lot of time. It might not be so much they are poor, but rather, they don't see the point of putting money into the game. Traditionally, developers ignore this group. However this is an important group the ecology of the game as these guys, along with alpha group, create the population of the game. No population, no fun, no money.

Neverwinter Online Handles this group wonderfully with astral diamond to Zen coin trades. A person with money buys Zen Coins and uses it to buy Astral Diamonds. AD, kinda represent time in the game, as you can collect pretty good numbers of them by constantly playing the game. Then AD are used for almost everything that Zen Coins aren't. In a sense, these players can sell their time to players with money.

Money Group - On the flip side is another group that is often catered to, but only so much. Too often, developers try to trick this side into buying things of power, like a sword that does +300 dmg, when normally swords in game do only 30.

This creates a rather bad imbalance of the game, which causes people with only time to begin griping about how ridiculous it is that you can spend so much money to become powerful, rather than playing the game.

The last group is the most unfortunate of all, cause as of currently, I cannot figure anything to do for them. They do not have time nor money. They play the game casually, but not for very long, resulting them in dropping in power as they are not leveling or buying things to help them out.

Again, Neverwinter has done a little for them, where they could use thier phone to access various tasks and the like for crafting items and such, but it'll never pull them out with the rest of the pack.
