What sequel do you want made.....
Gary Oldman is a true chameleon actor. I think that villain is one of the best, too.

What's your dirty little secret?
A complete change of scenery might help, like moving to a new school. But that also may not (if a student from your previous school has moved there too, for example). It is even better if you can re-enter the lions' den and make peace with your (inner) d

Sweden's Twisting Tower
And this is the main reason americans get so aroused when we're discussing politics: you're confusing the industrial world's dislike for american foreign politics with some sort of unfounded hatred for the american people. That is not the case (and I have no clue where you get it from). Yes, we joke a lot about americans being fat, uneducated and having a taste for poor beer and odd sports. But not more than, for example, swedish people making fun of finnish people for being a humourless bunch, intent on killing themselves with a bottle of Koskenkorva in their hands. It's prejudice in a (mostly) harmless way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You forgot the abysmal chocolate confectionary. (Although "English" chocolate isn't much better.) I happen to admire the USA; it isn't perfecct by a long chalk, but it certainly is less guilty of a lot of the sins of the older worlds (old Europe, greater Persia and the Arab states, et alia). It is farsical to compare the human rights records of most countries with the US; still, the US is not free from blemish (past and present crimes against Native Americans; African Americans; Latin Americans; etc). So when I make a criticism, it is not from a point of hatred, but a willingness to improve the government / society to make it better for all of us (as we in the rest of the world are impacted greatly by the goings-on of the US). When I see abuse of power, or corruption (especially of something very worthy) I must speak out (it is the duty of all of us); that does not mean I wish the system ill: I wish it convalescences. A lot of US citizens seem unable to seperate the message from the medium: they seem to take all criticsms personally (present company excepted, of course). That is just rank immaturity; I would hope that we all can rise above it.

KotoR 3: Ideas and Suggestions
So we have an automatic "no lightsabre zone" for our intrepid Force Sensitive to traverse! Now, given the rebreather technology (as seen in K1), all we need to do is stage a fight scene underwater, sot he FS has to use Force Powers and/or an alternative weapon. I wonder if Havok is geared up for an underwater physics work-out? :cool:

What sequel do you want made.....
Um, again, really. But I don't like talking about others on the forum; because they don't like it and I haven't asked them.

Sweden's Twisting Tower
Yeah, I don't know about the Swedish tower (it looks to be designed along similar lines), but the Gherkin was designed to accommodate all the requirements of a modern building, as well as allowing the windows to be opened to save on heating and cooling bills (which are phenominal in other buildings of a similar size). They twisted the block design to add some high-wind tolerance, as well as the natty look.

Good info there, Ender; I'm still digesting it.

Sweden's Twisting Tower
Well, considering the cloying poverty and asphyxiatingly carcinogenic environmental polution of their neighbourhoods (perpetrated by US corporates exploiting the lenient and pro-business Mexican environmental laws) across the Rio Grande, I'd say it's a no-brainer.

I feel inferior
Blue is good for colourblind males because, to them, green LEDs look the same as red ones. So he is (inadvertently, it would seem) making his creation sight-impaired-friendly, too!

Obsidian Forum Diplomacy Game 2 (OBS-2)
Then Unit A's support is cut, and units A, C, and D hold in their positions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True (AFAIK "). And if there was: Unit E supporting Unit D attack on Unit C, then Unit C would be defeated (retreat if available), but its attack on A still stands, even though it is dislodged / disbanded (Rule 15).

T.O.M.B.S, vol 2
I don't know what you are talking about. Firstly I remember no such passage in HHGttG. Secondly, even if such hypothetical passage exists, the rules were stated by Ender in the first posts. Hence my rating of your READING COMPREHENSION penalty. That is all. PS SpellMar has kindly pointed out your error with tomorrow. Plato, The Forms, as outlined in Plato's allegory of the cave, in The Republic (Book VII).

Obsidian Forum Diplomacy Game 2 (OBS-2)
Aaarrggh! I actually initially thought that was true, and I had that in the first version! It does make a difference. I have re-calculated and updated the map and order status for 1903 Spring. I have also included the rules for easy checking, so that we all know why the results are so (and if I have made any other mistakes, please let me know asap). Apologies once again for the inconvenience, team. :">

Does Revan's fate make any sense?
Having problems with reading comprehension, Gabs? At least voluminous reading should help remedy that, so I'm doing you a favour. Of course, it is a little concerning that you are invariably able to sum up all the thought you spend on a subject in under two words ... "
