Talk:Theories

Proving

Here it is decided whether a theory should become a theorem. Under either agree or disagree put your signature with time stamp, depending on if you think the evidence is binding. Feel free to edit your decision at any time. If 5 or more people have voted with 95% or more agreeing and and contradicting theories have 5 or more votes with a 5% or less agreement, then it will be considered proven and moved to theorems.

Biology

Jungle

• What, other than watering, determines when a square of jungle will become denser?
  • Each square grows at the same rate, regardless.
    • Agree
    • Disagree
  • Shartak is divided into sections, and when one square loses one level of density, another square in the section grows by one.
    • Agree
    • Disagree
      • Disagree; the effects of the Shartak Deforestation Movement showed that mass deforestation of the jungle did not cause random jungle squares to gain density, although it will regrow within weeks --Delaco 06:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
  • When one square anywhere on Shartak loses one level of density, another square grows by one.
    • Agree
    • Disagree
  • Jungle can grow at X:05 and X:35.
    • Agree
      • Possible - Shargle eggs hatch exactly at 0:05 server time, and NPCs attack at X:05 and X:35. Jungle density also happens to increase by 1 for eevery week, but growth could also be determined by density (i.e. d9 could take 3 weeks to reach d10)
    • Disagree

  • Whenever an animal dies the same species appears somewhere else.
    • Agree

    • Agree
    • Disagree
  • Different animals are more likely to appear in different locations.
    • Agree
    • Disagree
• How do animals move?

    • Disagree
  • Animals are most likely to move the same direction that they previously moved.
    • Agree

• How do parrots talk?
  • When someone says something to a parrot then it may be repeated.
    • Agree
      • --TripleU 05:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Disagree
  • When a parrot is taught something, only that parrot may say it.
    • Agree
    • Disagree
