<cough> pointybum@hotmail.com Hi people. I've kinda walked out to the off license and forgot my way back. Cant remember the last time I was here, but it's good to meet the friends and foes again at that place they call the 'fisher's plain.' :)

I think you guys should checkout 3dna - its a virtual desktop where you roam about in 3d as if you are in a flash pad. The best part of it is when you are outside with your chosen skybox - some of them are absolutely amazing. I tried to upload my virtual pad to show you guys but a 159kb file is clearly too big...

gee', a ranking system where we sit and say 'I wrote more crap than you'. :D

Gobalopper answered this question before - the connection leaves EA's domain once the game is launched. The speed of the game is down to the status of the internet that connects the 4 players together. Thats why same teams, same whatever can vary from game to game. It is usually what is going elsewhere in the world that can affect the connection speed and strength.

i noticed that it says i am a mentat? is that a good thing?

lol - wipe their noses too?

lol hello gents i see nothing has changed then

dont i get a mention?

A vacant minded emperor player broke into my palace, knicked my smelly underpants and went out for a wander (obviously to try and pull a few birds). He then crepted back in and put them back exactly where I left them, hoping I wouldnt notice. Well, I didnt notice, but every body else in the street did. Doompower informs me that he like many others, saw my skumdoc name in bc rooms. He even paged me but I conveniently went deaf, so he thought. If espionage was the chain of thought, wouldnt it be smart thinking to use a lesser known skum name, and perhaps use a player who actually plays bc's so to not arouse suspicion? Gunwounds drops in to say hi. He tells me my skumdoc account got hacked into and it was sendakon. He said he was paged by him (as skumdoc) saying hi. Later on Procyonb breaks a habit of a lifetime and actually tries the art of talking instead of his verbal toilet. He tells me it were Gunwounds that hacked into my skumdoc account and did it to lose points etc. Well, Procyonb wasnt satisfied with my reaction and predictably launched himself into that verbal toilet. FEW multi nicked, organised losses, and now they have approached the digital bit stream approach to point rigging. So, if you're schloppy like me, y'know, use a password that remotely resembles 12345678...... need I say more? ;) bless em

lol finally here.. just come from a damn long walk from arrakis.. just forgot my house keys.

What help would an alien give? If Afghanistan had their ways they'd use cranky wooden trebuchets to launch their so-called stinkbombs against the 'mechawarrior' clad american army. It's definately 3 minos vs 1 assault tank when it comes to comparing ranks. I think the aliens would sit in and watch this one. 8)

Intelligence is measured with ability, and if you measure ability with survival, death by natural selection by a smarter cause encourages intelligence growth. This intelligence growth encourages the learning curve and logical problem solving, which together comes with experience, experience and its frequency offers better survival tools. Here we are today. We consider every human being as intelligent, greater in some areas, and poor in others. If you look at our ecosystem, we run the planet over the top of the natural habitats of creatures that have been hear before us. We have kicked them out of their own natural patches and forced to live around our own. Obviously this is not an emotional thing but a death by natural selection. If it isnt that, then it will be domestication. Basic farming, then intellgent farming, and then to a village, town, city, and before long they are networked together and we have it today as globalisation. We have systematically bullied all species off their territory and made it our own - not with malice but with instinctive thought for survival. Our hands are the best in the world - intelligence came from the use of our hands - our hands are what makes us successful above any living thing on this planet today. Hold your right hand up and touch each finger with your right thumb, and then repeat the process with your left hand. Name me a creature that can deliberately do that - such precise control of dexterity, even our closest ancestral relatives cannot even perform such a simple feat. So, if we do get alien visitations, chances are they will have the use of limbs similar to ours. Their own survival code would be similar. Lets face it, if you landed/flew/hovvered anywhere on earth that is heavily populated, the widespread panic and hostility would scare our brothers away. The use of stealth would be the logical approach and thats how in the last 50 years, with the advancements of measuring and recording technology, more sightings and mysteries had occurred than any other time. If they land one day, I hope they dont pick afghanistan. ;D

As the mods had said it, F moving on.

The Man Who Thought His Wife Was a Hat ;) One such great book by Messrs Sacks.

Emp, I was inspired by your post on build orders - your website caught my (otherwise bad) attention span and was quite informative - you couldnt really knock it. It was when Nav raised his ugly piled arse I started to question the moderators integrity at running a fair and balanced web-site. The banning of that young peep for chipping 'I know' was hardly annoying to any individual person, but compared with nav (as if you need telling), its a full on attack regardless of the relevancy. Good for you with the bo's, keep em comin.

In this post, I talk in the present. The present is now - Nav is the issue - today. Whoever has been here before me, good luck to them, but it doesnt make them a master no more than a newbie. I am exercising a view that nav has been caught being defamatory on a daily basis - he has publicly apologised but hasnt said what for, and why. I like to think the mods are acting in moderation to all posts, to protect dialogue from a wide age range, and to keep the standard of topics high. This is not what we are seeing here - it appears that the banning of one individual for 'spamming' harmlessly and then compare this effort to Nav's posts. Erm.. I hate to say it but it looks like there is preferential treatment offered here.

Mr Gob, You managed to ban a little harmless kid just for saying 'I know', and yet nav is still here saying quite unbelievable things below the belt on a daily basis. It now comes across as you giving preferential treatment - if I read the forum contract to you it will remind you that offending minors will be removed - Navaros is a persistent offending minor using all his resources to upset and offend - his intent is so crystal clear. It is a free planet Mr Gob, but only free til another is offended - if I said I want to fuck your mother and stick my knob in her hole' on a daily basis, would you wish me a good thrasing, at least in your mind? This has gone on too far Mr Gob, you have got to start listening to the people that use these boards, and you also need to honour your contracts that protect yourselves as well as the individuals here - Nav is certainly attention seeking and this is clearly all he has in his life, but it is not up to him to offend who he likes, when he likes, and then still gets away with it. The blocking feature is fine, but imagine standing in a crowded room and someone shouts something offensive to you, and the choice is either to ignore, or respond. It is extremely hard not to respond isnt it. So, in some respects its a useful function, but in reality, it doesnt work cos you are curious to know what was said in order to.... once again, defend oneself. Ban nav Mr Gob, you know it is the correct thing to do - you have more than enough evidence, more than enough reasons, and more than enough clout to do something that will benefit the main contributors, and it would certainly make your day smoother, wouldnt it?

It got implemented to shut you out, at least figure that one out nav. What other great ideas have you got that can assist users in terminating your existence here.

Well, it's been said that older people tend to get stuck on their favourites - I like to think my musical tastes evolve than to stay in one camp. Pink Floyd, Thievery Corporation, Led Zeppelin, Air, Groove Armada, Steve Vai, Porcupine Tree, Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Ac/Dc, Jimi Hendrix, Megadeth, Metallica, Zero 7, Van Halen, Gary Moore, Rush, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Joe Satriani, Ozzy Osbourne, Duran Duran, Foreigner, Vinnie Moore, Dire Straits, The Clash, Marillion, The Doors, Kingdom Come, Winger, Steppenwolf, Prophet, Queensryche, Alice Cooper, Loudness, Kiss, The Jam, The Sex Pistols, Django Rheinhardt......... Note no Eminem or Korn, or Limp Biscuit. Does that make me old fashioned? Oh yeah, got a few favourite collections of spaghetti western theme tunes.. great to listen to whilst playing emp, funny enuff. :P

Nav, you are one great fucking dork. Brennq happens to be one of the politest, considerate, and fun players online. He's also a great allie, a potential air traffic controller because he is so focused on all aspects of the entire map than just the small pocket areas. You have been warned about your ill contributions so many times, why can't you just cop on and enjoy the fruits the game offers instead of either constantly criticising the players, the software writers, or the forum administrators. Failing that, go and do something less dangerous for your head instead - grow leeks or grab a pad and join some dots or something. Seriously, you are not fit for these forums, and judging by your recent contributions, you are appearing not fit for the game either. Lets face it Nav, how many more dents to your weird pride are you going take before finding yourself forcibly removed, once again?

i agree

what a twat

Here is another one - 3dna.com This is probably the most innovative desktop enhancements around - you simply sit in your virtual world with everything at hand close to you. Imagine being at the decks of star ship enterprise - this is not far off from it. Again, beefy video card and buckets of memory will be needed - if you havent upgraded your pc just for this then you dont know what you're missing. And no, I dont work for the company. ;D

so where did humans come from then.
