Topic: Round turn


  
  Round turn and two half-hitches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The round turn and two half hitches is a hitch used to secure the end of a rope to a fixed object such as a post.
The name comes from a categorisation of the knot: a round turn wraps the rope around an object (this might seem like two wraps, but it is one complete encirclement of the object), and two half hitches, which are the two little half-knots used to secure the end.
Someone tying this knot too enthusiastically might end up with a knot called three half turns and four half-hitches for example, which would be a perfectly valid name also.

 Turn-based strategy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once every player has taken his turn, that round of play is over, and any special shared processing, is done.
However, when a particular player gains access to the game during his/her turn it is not uncommon to value the time taken by the player to make the move to improve the fairness of the game.
In chess, a pair of stop clocks may be used to track the time taken by players to make their moves.

To teach a high-quality round turn, ask your students to ski a square turn shape (hesitation turn), which develops patience and control through the middle of the turn.
Skiers who break a single turn into two turning movements with a straight run in the middle will be less likely to move their upper body too far to the inside and behind the center of balance.
The timing and flow of their normal turns should show a vast improvement since they are now using the entire turn shape, including the middle, to control speed.

Although this is the easiest short-radius turn to perform, its movements are no less important than the more difficult short turns: the skier who masters the proper movements of this turn betters his or her chances of success with the rounder turns.
The mechanics of this turn allow it to be the shortest turn possible and thus extremely effective at controlling speed in narrow corridors, steep terrain, or when negotiating a tight bump line.
In reaching short turns the path of the CM is not tied to gravity so much as it is to the deflection and direction of the skis carving through the snow.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Summon Monster duration
It seems to me that this is the last round of the spell and summoned creatures act normally on the last round of the spell and disappear at the end of their turn.
This is the last round for the spell as it only lasts one round, so the monsters "disappear at the end of their turn," whereas you might expect them to normally stick around until just before your initiative in the next round.
I think it should be considered round one, for that is the round is was activated and when it affects characters - it lasts until sometime into round 2, that's true, but it's not affecting anyone in round two unless they walk into it's area of effect.

 Ski Instruction: Turn Shape
(After all, nobody wants to go faster and faster, from turn to turn, all the way down the mountain.) And this is where skiers have two choices: They can twist their skis sideways and skid, or they can continue turning slowly, patiently, almost gently through a round arc.
When you make a very round turn, it is actually the round shape of that turn that slows you down-not the force of your own turning action.
A round turn results when your make almost no twisting movements to get started; when you transfer your weight to that outside ski early, and keep it there.

The rounds are equal in length but are non-simultaneous; that is they do not have exactly the same start and end points for all characters and monsters.
While the turns are one after the other to make battles easier to manage, in game time they are realtime based, like in BG and NWN.
All character actions, ie, turns, are individually played, yet, they are meant to be considered as having been played simultaneous by the end of the round.

 A Thorough Explanation of Combat: How TOEE's Turn-Based System Works - Atari Forums
Note: The round calculation can begin with any player, so it can represent the "clock moving from 2 back to 2 again or 10 back to 10 again, etc." This is especially useful for casters whose spells may have one round or multiple round durations.
A round of combat could be a full round action, or a standard plus move action (though a second move action may be substituted for the standard action).
If last round, you took a five foot step towards him, and then did so again at the beginning of this round, you would be able (and in range) to do a full attack, which even if you only get 2 attacks, that is 1 more than you had from moving 10 feet and attacking.

In all other cases, students who commented upon decisions to withdraw stated that assignment turn-around had no relevance, or was a minor factor.
Many students slow their pace of study if they wait for feedback before completing the next assign assignment This, in turn, slows turn-around time if the students seek extensions.
While some courses have stated policies regarding extensions and penalties for late submissions without adequate excuse, in practice lateness is very common (9,930 of the 16,626 assignments with full data) and excessive lateness is rarely penalised.
