The Last Samurai
I've been on the fence about making this for a while but I figure what the hey Please forgive the bad cropping job, I'm lazy First thing first Here we gave all the different game modes What is in a name? I'll probably die really quick but at least that will keep this fairly short I picked this clan because they have a lot of land. The symbols are honor, generalship, swordsmanship, and land ( I think so anyway, I don't have the manual anymore). Land is the most important stat as it determines how big your army can be and bigger is always better So it looks like I was right about what each symbol means but that's probably because I'm a symbologist in real life. Anyway, after saying how land is the most important I go ahead and choose honor as my family advantage Now we meet the hatamoto Lord Munesada and he introduces us to our rivals who will all be positioning themselves to become the next hatamoto In order of their power we first have this guy and I don't know about you all but I don't like him already Next up is chump number 2 in line. He will probably be my first target Next is bottom guy well technically he's above me but just barely and it it's because I'm new. He may be desperate enough to try some dishonorable acts against me but I dunno, he has kind eyes And now we have me and yes, I do get my eyebrows done Now it's time to decide how we want to spend our time moving up the ranks Equip more samurai - Exactly as it sounds and the more land we have the more we can equip Practice kenjutsu - Train your sword fighting skills. I never really do this and I actually don't even know if there is a point to raising your skill Drill your troops - Practice your general skills by commanding your samurai in a mock battle Donate land - I never ever do this one. You get some honor I believe but at the cost of land which means at the cost of troops Travel- take to the world map and seek adventure

The funny things thread
cut and pasted from elsewhere I was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when the phone rang. ME: Hello. AT&T: Hello, this is AT&T. ME: Is this AT&T. AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: This is AT&T. AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: Is this AT&T.? AT&T: Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr. Byron, please? ME: May I ask who is calling? AT&T: This is AT&T. ME: OK, hold on. At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting. ME: Hello? AT&T: Is this Mr. Byron? ME: May I ask who is calling, please? AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: This is AT&T? AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T … ME: The phone company. AT&T: Yes, sir. ME: I thought you said this was AT&T. AT&T: Yes, sir, we are a phone company. ME: I already have a phone. AT&T: We aren’t selling phones today, Mr. Byron. We would like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. ME: Now, that’s 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day? AT&T: (getting a little excited at this point by my interest) Yes, sir, that’s right! 24 hours a day! ME: 7 days a week.? AT&T: That’s right. ME: 365 days a year.? AT&T: Yes, sir. ME: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That’s amazing! AT&T: We think so! ME: That’s quite a sum of money! AT&T: Yes, sir, it’s amazing how it adds up. ME: OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big one at the end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you send an annual check, can I get a cash advance? AT&T: Excuse me? ME: You know, the 10 cents a minute. AT&T: What are you talking about? ME: You said you’d give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per year. I’m just interested in knowing how you will be making payment. AT&T: Oh, no, sir. I didn’t mean we’d be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a minute. ME: Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you’ll give me 10 cents a minute, that I’ll give YOU 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I’ve read about things like this in the Enquirer, you know. AT&T: No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for ME: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please? AT&T: Sir, I don’t think that is necessary. ME: I insist on speaking to a supervisor! AT&T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold. At this point, I begin trying to finish my dinner. SUPERVISOR: Mr. Byron? ME: Yeah. SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a minute program. ME: Is This A T &T? SUPERVISOR: Yes, sir, it sure is. ME: (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I could do to suppress my laughter and I had to be Careful not to produce a snort.) No, actually, I was just waiting for someone to get back to me so that I could sign up for the plan. SUPERVISOR: Ok, no problem, I’ll transfer you back to the person who was helping you. ME: Thank you. I was on hold once again and managed a few more mouthfuls. I need to end this conversation. Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the other end of the phone. AT&T: Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are interested in signing up for our plan.? ME: No, but I was wondering - do you have that “Friends and Family” thing because I’m an only child and I’d really like to have a little brother… AT&T: click……..

My tankish Jedi Shadow just arrived on Belsavis at level 45. I don't find his voice as annoying anymore but I'm pretty sure that I've already figured out who the first son is unless they pull some trick where it's a character I haven't met yet

- What you having for dinner tonight?
Went to some wine bar and had some appetizers and pizza We were sitting in a corner and I was facing the window and a (I'm assuming because they were holding hands) gay couple walks by outside. One gentleman splits off from the other and points directly at me walks up to the glass and puts his mouth on it and starts making out with the window. I'm just sitting there thinking to myself why does this kind of stuff always happen to me Anyway, the food and wine was very good and this is what we had thin baguette topped with gorgonzola cheese and honey mushrooms stuffed with italian sausage, prosciutto & cream cheese sweet corn ravioli tossed in a brown butter sauce with toasted pecan dust white pizza with homemade gorgonzola sauce, pear, red peppers drizzled in honey and some kind of meat platter with olives, capers, and mustard- SW: The Old Republic Part 5
Yep, same as the Powertech I mostly pull people into traps but also off of platforms or just away from the goal or ball carrier. It also has immobilize if you spec into it which makes it even more valuable on defense or for pulling into traps.- SW: The Old Republic Part 5
My favorite class for huttball is is my Vanguard tank Between storm, harpoon, aoe, and guarding whoever has the ball (if it's not me) it's just too much fun. The problem I have is that the team I'm on usually just wants to murder the other team with no regard to scoring or stopping the ball carrier- Reconciling different perspectives on grieving
Sorry for your loss You are a better man than me because I wouldn't have taken it down as you were honoring her in your own way. It's big of you to have accommodated your aunt's request but it was wrong of her to ask you to do so I had a situation similar to Ros in when my mom died our family split and a lot of us still don't speak to each other. But perhaps if we had been more willing to bend as you did then maybe we could have remained close- What you having for dinner tonight?
Currently having chicken fried rice for lunch Not sure what I'm going to do for dinner but since the wife is having a girls night out I'll probably just finish off some hot and sour soup I made the other day- Lebronnnnnnnnnnn Jamessssssss !
