The Escapist: The Rise and Fall of Troika
I love the US approach to the rules of sports: there ARE no ties! :D Doesn't a football match have (after an exhaustive list technical metrics) a coin-toss to decide the game?

If you are really interested, you might want to analyze the relationships in more detail, using transactional analysis (it's a popular tool used today by Analytical Psychiatrists, for one). Though that might cause a lot more consternation than you are prepared for: people like their neuroses, they are comfortable.- Do you like WW2 grand strategy naval wargames?
Dad "landed" on an airstrip in New Guinea built on a mountain: the gradient was about 30% ... Gordegazelle (definitely need to check that spelling) Ridge?- Should have said
After all, it's expensive to get good vegetarian meat these days, after the Thatcherian mechanically-reclaimed-meat diet supplements; so a good grain-fed human would have a lean fillet ...- Should have said
Alternate_Superme: "Yes, yes it is. I like to kill them with my bare hands, too, as it adds to the flavour." *eyes glinting with far-off look and glowing with maniacal fervour *- Do you like WW2 grand strategy naval wargames?
The US took over my sechool and used it as a base during WW2; they even built what we used as the theatre up until the eighties (at which time a purpose-built structure was designed, with enlarged capacity and a more in-keeping fa- Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Stories
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.- A New PC

The peaceful example set by the more extreme doctrinaires of the Abrahamic religions?- Favorite Quotations
However, you don't say "Ich bin ein Berliner", either; I'm a little rusty, but it would be more like "Ich bin aus Berlin, auch". Is that correct, German speakers?- Movies You Have Seen Lately
I'm pretty sure the dubbed version has a (ever-so-slightly) different script, just from watching it back-to-back in English and then Japanese ... certainly I like the way Japanese say "Yessir" / "Ma'am" / "Of course" / "Without Delay" / etc ... what is that utterance- Happy New Year
And so another thread reaches the end of its brief and interesting (?) lifespan. PS No its not.- Oblivion Thread
A single-player not-the-chosen-one plot is just like every other single player game just without the implications that the main character was fated to the experience: a dungeon crawl for loot and experience.- The Comicbook thread Pt. IX
Hey, that's not too bad. I was expecting something painfully arty; y'know, like "I suffer for my art so now it's your turn," type thing.- Oblivion Thread
I think you've got the discussion 'round the wrong way. I was asking you to clarify how your definition of a single-player not-the-chosen-one plot was different from a MMORPG instance, and you have singly failed to do so.- Oblivion Thread
But they aren't dead if they have respawned.- The Comicbook thread Pt. IX
Now you tell me. Though I bet it would be far too arty for my taste.- The Comicbook thread Pt. IX
I can't believe you guys FORCED me to buy a graphic novel written by a GAIMAN! [/joke in incredibly poor taste]- Favorite Quotations
I may have been reading the Union Leader's speech that paraphrased (or just took the first sentence from that one of) JFK, because I recongnize the only the first sentence. Also, as a tangential editorial, a "Berliner" is a small sugar-coated pastry.- The Legend of Lylox: The Sword of Infinite
A. And anyone fatter than me is fat, regardless of how fat that is. Because I'm not. Fat.- Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Stories
What? Limited choices! What if you wanted to kill the character in the first book (in some brave, martyr-like fashion, of course)?- Morality in PnP
Drunk-Good. Drunk-Evil would commit random acts of violence against others.- ... Fallout PnP?
I'm no expert at FO, but isn't it a very combat-unfriendly environment ... or is that just at lower levels?- Favorite Quotations
Well, if I could find it then I could quote it. :D It was the statement that whilst one man is a slave then we all are. It may not have been JFK, but I think it was; a British Union leader quoted it a decade or so ago, too. - New Year's Resolutionz
