I actually just looked up the exact meaning of face value, and perhaps I was using it wrong.
The face value of a coin, stamp, or bank note is the value printed on the object.Face value (idiom), no more or less than what is stated; a literal or direct meaning or interpretation.
But, from what I believe it means, you don't necessarily have to have a face to have face-value, in fact, when the term face-value is used, it is most often used to describe inanimate objects, which typically don't have faces (Do not bring up clocks, watches, etc. or I will hit you).
It's an odd phrase, as the English language goes, and to even find the right meaning of "face" in the
dictionary
you have to look pretty far into it.
4. outward appearance or 8. the main side of an object are the only definitions that I've found that remotely fit this instance of the use of "face".
Take an object made of a precious metal, such as gold, and compare it to something made of, say, stone.
The gold object will have more face-value than the stone object, because gold is more valuable than stone, in most instances.
I guess it depends on appearances, both physical and mental.

This one understands. A more literal translation would be "an outward name." This one agrees with that assessment.
This one also wonders where the Elcor and Salarian participants have gone in this discussion. This one could be made to feel silly if this one was the only one who wished to continue participating in this exercise.
Praise be to the Enkindlers.

So apparently when I bought two stacks of hangers, I got just enough; I have one hanger for each of my funny insulting t-shirts with one left over...yay me?

Had to replenish goods and supplies, car broke down mid-way. Very annoying. Manged to discover a good burger place though.
Also, tried Assassin's Creed Revelations. Very hard game. Challenge within acceptable parameters. Gorgeous visuals, multi-language, fluid animations. *sharp inhale* Though that's to be expected. Ubisoft rarely makes mistakes.

This one believes that the last sentence of that post should have been, "Had to be Ubisoft. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."

I beat Borderlands today. I was kinda expecting things to turn out the way they did.

I won't. I developed a new theory after my original one got somewhat debunked, so I don't think what I said should spoil anything :P

Can't wait to turn 21 so I can just drink. Maybe then I'll be able to unwind like everyone else around me.

I'm going to eat you all. For real this time.
careful. I'm known to have high levels of cholesterol. Wouldn't do any good to your figure.
Ugh, spent several hours training new assassin apprentices on Revelations. Leveled most to 12. Sent one on a mission with a 5% probability of failure. She failed and died. Very frustrating.
At least the city of Constantinople is nicely rendered. Historical accuracy of monuments appreciated. *sharp inhale* Few players appreciate true art.

I don't think it's glorious at all, I just want a way to stop being rigid to the point where I want to cry 'cause I just can't relax enough to have even the most minor irl-social interaction with anyone I don't know near-completely.
it's been a piss poor day. igore the wine-fest and I'll even delete if you want, just needed to get it off my chest with a little annonimity.

Hey, if you've seen my recent rants, you have no reason to think people will get upset at you for posting this :P
Sorry that your day hasn't been going well. Feel free to rant some more, I know how liberating it is :)
