Dont worry. I got everything you sent me yesterday. Ive just been a little swamped. I should have adjudication within an hour or so.

They are due only if Austria does not submit build orders. Otherwise, I will give extension as necessary, though I would still like to continue quickly. Also, Skynet, it would help if you sent me your orders ahead of time, such that if you forget AGAIN you would have something to fall back on. Two reasons: 1. I am the GM, and as such must be a neutral party. It is not my responsibility to look after any one country, but instead to maintain the integrity of the entire game. If a player does not give me orders, I cannot ethically make them up, even if there was only one option. 2. If Bokishi does not submit orders for W02 or S03, it will display to me that he does not have the dedication required to play this game. Thereby, we will locate a replacement.

I gave him quite long enough to submit them. If I do not have them by this evening at 2400 UTC I will void his builds. And we will continue to Spring 03, due tomorrow. If he has not submitted orders by then. he will be evicted and we will need another player.

I know we agreed on today as a deadline, but given that Bokishi is a new player, I will allow him another day to send in orders. This applies to any othes who have not submitted orders as well. If need be, Bokishi, read the first post. It has my contact information and links to the rules.

Not really. But once in a while, it is fun to harass him.

I have never intimated, nor believed myself to be, the smartest person in existence. I understand full well that there is always someone better. DL and others may very well be smarter than me. (Nice job at sucking up to DL, btw.) I have no problem with that. Hell, for all I know, you could be smarter than me. But the empirical evidence does not seem to support that statement, does it? Also, you cannot lack mentality. It is a measure of your personal abilities and thus is relative to the individual. No one has no mentality. Furthermore, Id like to thank you for saying I lack stupidity. Wow, I never thought I would see the day you complimented me.

The best characters were in the spinoff The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. That show was awesome.

It is an occasional wish of mine to be able to siphon the talent out of others into myself. Your skill has reminded me of my desire. Thanks for the inspiration. Also, welcome back, Sirius.

I require adulation! In the form of a card of course. :D "

Agreed on all counts.

Recently, you have begun to remind me of a member who once posted quite frequently here. Her nick was Alexia. Don't worry DL, you'll always be smarter than half the men(Not including me) on these forums in my book <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dont flatter yourslelf, Jizz. It only makes you look pompous and arrogant in addition to your previously established lack of mental clarity and maturity.

Sorry everyone. A sudden emergency came up and I was required elsewhere. Again, my apologies.

It wont end until we get rid of Bush, his cronies, and their faulty politics.

I agree. I just felt that since we hadnt had a good row on WOT in a while, this might provoke it.

According to a British study being published later this year, men are on average 5 IQ points smarter than women. There are two men of IQ 125 for every woman of the same and 5.5 men of IQ 155 for every equivalent woman. However, the study also claims women are able to achieve more than men with equal IQ "possibly because they are more conscientious and better adapted to sustained periods of hard work." __________________________________ Above I have merely described the study. Here are my personal feelings: Such tests are unreliable. Yes there are neurological differences between men and women, but they have more to with genetic role than any increased or decreased level of intelligence. I feel women outstrip men in many areas, just as men outperfrom women in others. This is more so due to societal conditioning than ability in many cases, though. Also, attempting to define one gender, race, etc as superior to another is preposterous. It serves only to divide in a time when we need to focus on the unity of humanity. Simply because I cannot resist, I will include the following statement. Do not take this as any indication of my personal sentiments. Take that, feminist bitches!

Sounds like a personal problem. "

You'll have to be a little more specific. Suggestions as to character builds? Suggestions as to gameplay?

The fact that he is a BIO rep should indicate a certain level of bias. The majority rarely, if ever, bite the hand that feeds them.

I also use correct grammar whenever writing, no matter the format. I suppose it arises from my literary tendencies.

See below.

They would say that regardless of number, unless the failure was so overwhelmingly obvious that it would require mention if only to dispel rumors. Companies lie. This is a fact. They lie to make their products look better; the lie to make themselves look better: it is a basic tenant of capitalism. A company's responsibility is to itself and its investors (in most cases). As long as the public buys their products, most companies could care less what happened to them. Game development studios are slightly different in that their customer base is already small (in comparison to other markets) and thus they must humor as many as possible. Therefore, the communication between devs and fans, the opportunity to feel a part of the project by making suggestions, etc. Yet even then when a game company gains a reputation, they sometimes rest on their laurels. If someone doesnt't like their new games, they werent the intended audience or they didnt understand the genius of it. The fault for a game failing is placed upon the consumer, because the game is the devs' baby, of course they did everything they could to make it the best. Effort does not always equate sincerity. Game studios are there to make games, yes, but also to make money. They cannot make games if they do not have money and thus money must be their primary objective. Usually this leads to increased focus on quality. On other occassions, it means splashing the company logo everywhere and referring back to previous successes so as to engender sales based on fan favorites. In some cases, particularly in the RPG genre, it means both. I do not say there is anything wrong with either method. They are acceptable advertising tools. Hoiwever, to attach your name to something, you should be satisfied with the final product. I understand there are deadlines, but sometimes you just have to say it isnt done.

You mean today right? He said he cant use the computer lab at midnight, and he doesnt know exactly when his personal system will be up, so he will probably miss.

Ah, I did indeed misunderstand your intent. I agree your favorite color sucks would have been more obvious, especially seeing as my sig is song lyrics. Usually, I would not have defended against such an attack, but as I said, the words have personal significance.

Sorry, completely missed that. Ive been rather swamped lately. Carry on.
