yes, people who don't want the cut sections of the game will not get it... And I think your the only one who fits that bill... <_< Deadly_Nightshade <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And the many people that have since moved on.

Yes, the chuck norris craze. People are sheep.

Loosely translated. OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exhibits A and B. Though maybe he meant I was Prawned? Do you think I am crustacean?

You might have to abstract it in a sense. WHat do you mean by "manipulate the sphere" though. Because you could just put a sphere around someone and let them walk around, without being able to interact with the environment.

Not sure how that's logistical. But anyways. I would actually wager that the Soviets would be much less likely to actually do that for a common soldier than any of the allied nations. Maybe for a higher ranked person. Saving Private Ryan does depict a scene though, where plate steel was welded to the bottom of a plane because there was a General inside, which cost the lives of the people inside (including the General). Stuff like this did happen on all sides.

I'm going with the "some goober thought he'd be funny and type in "owned" and misspelled it, but to save face he made up some bogus explanation. Someone else saw it, thought it was witty, and started intentionally do it." Since that day, IQs have persistently dropped.

Hmmm, maybe I'll work on a synopsis of the plans of my NWN2 module sometime.

All that says to me is that Obi-Wan can still win, even when it seems he's lost.

Your insistence of RPGs holding Roleplaying above all else makes me think you'd be a prime candidate for a LARP.

Ideologically though, it's something the Soviets would never have tried. From a logistics perspective though, I don't know why it'd be so difficult for the US to do that. Why would you think only the Soviets would do it, logistically speaking?

Can you still build a Starbase there yourself, even though it's an asteroid? That's the concern I was having. It's great to have your own level 5 starbases What's Piett's ability? I haven't gotten him yet in my Empire game.

That's why I value representation. It gives me +3 happiness in my 6 largest cities (I usually play the bigger world sizes), and has the same upkeep cost as despotism (which provides no bonuses). Another concern I have is that by allowing other religions to come into my lands, I end up giving other nations free money. I've never really tried it, but I could see an advantage of going for respresentation and mercantilism, while maintaining closed borders. I can't remember if you can still trade techs with closed borders though. How much will opening the borders for trade help you at the moment? Do you have any connections to anyone outside of along that river? EDIT: I'm pretty sure some mods have come out to modify the attributes of the religions. I don't blame them for not touching that subject though.

Didn't I recommend it to you? Or was that Band of Brothers?

Not at this stage of the game. As you said, I don't need organized religion because I'm building units, and the happiness bonus for a state religion is usually mitigated by the fact that I can get representation from the pyramids. And while I don't get any bonuses from similar religion types, I don't get any penalties either. I don't hardline the Open Borders....I do eventually open them up. Just not at the beginning of the game.

Building ships is stupidly fun. I can waste hours just PLACING components, let alone deciding what to put on the ship.

*brandishes his axe*

Sounds to me like Jediphile would be a bigger fan of a LARP.

I bet people that don't care wouldn't.

True enough. I don't typically go for religions as often anymore, so the religious trade is a bit moot.

Simply saying "assonance" would have worked. Though I guess I know now for the future. You have made me a better person.

I have heard that there is actually some truth to the idea of removing a soldier that lost many siblings from active combat. Though the idea that they'd send a platoon of soliders to go and do it seems far fetched.

Sort of like some consonance (or would it be assonance, as the hard 'E' sticks out more, but it's more the 'lee' that is carried over). I guess it's just rhyming

Slowly...and excruciatingly painfully. Hmmm....do my last two words make sense grammatically?

The East has acquired 159 points against the West, with the West capturing 177 points against the East. I guess this would be in 300 games as each team plays 10 interconference games....or I guess it'd be 150 games, since I counted each game twice.
