ScorpionI see so many Cmds talk about this ignore/blocked list.
How do they read said Cmds posts or for that matter bother to answer them.
Or is it the same as the Cmds that threaten to leave or have left the game but are still here causing grief throwing around insults.
Grow up.
The Ignore list was made by Artie upon request by quite a few people with the hope to finally tone done the hostilities that others like to throw around. Because Artie doesn't allow these things to run openly rampant on his site. If they would get out of hand he'd delete entire pages and tell people to grow up.
As the creator of this site he has more important things to do then playing Kindergarden Cop.
The people that are on my ignore list are there for good reasons. The whole idea is not to read what they write or even bother to respond to them.
There's silence on my side, and I welcome it.
There's also some truth in your third sentence as well.

One or two are taking it all super-serious though.

LordPsymonI'm not talking about monetary value, I'm talking about the aesthetic. Amethyst is much prettier.
Ahh, aesthetics! Can’t take ‘em to the bank though can ya?

Exactly!
And tbh, diamonds have an inner fire that no other gemstone does, making them the most beautiful!

I quite enjoy how much diamonds can vary depending on their impurities, red, orange, blues, purples, all of them still diamonds

son of khzvoltzIf a planet was to eclipse the sun with people on a natural satilite to see, would that be a Planetary eclipse or a solar or whatever?
Just an "eclipse".

Hmm... I'm not sure if there's an official term, but I'd hazard a guess that planetary eclipse would fit.
:O what happens if its a binary planet? The plot thickens...

Occultation if one body completely obscures another body from view. The Moon can occult background stars and other astronomical bodies, and maybe the other planets in the solar system but I'm not sure if that's how the orbits work.
Transit if one body passes in front of another without completely obscuring it. Venus transits across the Sun, and as far as I know so does Mercury. Satellites in orbit around Earth can transit the Moon and Sun if that's how the orbits are aligned.
Those terms are more accurate in extrasolar cases instead of getting into the weeds of it being "lunar", "solar", "planetary", etc.

Well now... In a solar eclipse the sun disappears. In a lunar eclipse the moon disappears. For a planetary eclipse the planet would disappear. Remember, these are named before modern science based on the effect, not the cause.
