in 13th november 85 years ago sumthing famous happeneed in an oil producing country.what is it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.49.89.223 (talk) 15:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not listed on 13 November or 1922, so can you please elaborate? Perhaps what country?  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 15:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe it was 1921; it's still October. --  JackofOz 15:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nothing important happened on 13 October 1921, 13 October 1922, 13 November 1921, or 13 November 1922. At least it is not listed here.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 15:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You are not using the word "famous" correctly. Aud Schønemann was born on that date. She was very famous as an actress, in Norway, and apparently Norway is the third largest oil producing country. Her birth was not a famous event however.--Shantavira|feed me 17:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It must have been a slow news day. The best I can find is that the United States Supreme Court ruled that "the Japanese can not be citizens of this country." (On a weird note, the diary entry of Howard Carter for that day was: "Two donkeys") Clarityfiend 05:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That's what the cite says, but I hope the Supreme Court got the spelling right in its judgment. "Can not" is quite a different kettle of fish from "cannot".  --  JackofOz 23:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Conflict : vietnam
Hi, could anybody please tell me the name of the song that was used in the trailer to conflict vietnam as its name eludes me.

Thanks in advance 87.102.93.246 19:38, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If the trailer is the one shown here:, then the song is called Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. Here is the wiki entry on the song: . Sin257 21:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking for a link that I cannot remember, please help
I was busy doing other things and I spotted a link for an angel game that needed an article, and I wanted to get my son playing it with a view to writing an article with his help, so if anyone knows the one I am talking about I would be grateful if they could let me know, thank you.--DitsyDaisy 20:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

precedurally generated plot
Is there any game with a procedurally generated plot? — Daniel 23:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Did you click on the link that you made to procedural generation? It contains an entire section on video games. Or, are you asking something entirely different from what the article discusses? -- k a i n a w &trade; 01:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The section on video games doesn't have an entry for a game with aprocedurally generated plot. I'm wondering if someone managed to make a game with random quests, like in Progress Quest, but that it connects somehow. — Daniel 02:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The closest I can think of are "sandbox" games like Sid Meier's Pirates that have a bunch of plot elements that the player can hit (or not) in any particular order. There's not really any over-arching plot in Pirates, though. APL 19:55, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. The whole reason you as the character are there is to save your family from their evil kidnapper whose name now eludes me. Of course you don't have to save your family, and the only negative consequence is a lower final ranking (which can be mitigated by mass plunder). 161.222.160.8 22:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
