HAH Gelderland rulez 8) don't be surprised if a couple of beardy barbarians come at your door to kick your western assess :)

Anathema · December 28, 2002

Drenthe here :P

I've seen it in stores, but it doesn't appear particulary impressive.

Terror · December 28, 2002

So what town/city do you ppl live in?

I live in Zelhem (near Doetinchem) about 25-30 km from the German border

gryphon · December 28, 2002

I've got a female accuantence in Gelderland . . . somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

I'm now win a verry small town somewher well. . . in the middle of nowhere to ;D

It's quite strange. . .the town never had an internet connection .. just analog or ISDN .. . .after I've moved in there and argued my ass of for a T3 all of a sudden there was a connection.

But you're totally right, my "Western ass" doesn't belong in the country ;)

I can't wait untill I'm living somewhere again where I could walk my dog to the beach, without having to travel for 3 hours even to get near the darned beach :-/

Anathema · December 28, 2002

That's funny. My town is called the middle of nowhere too. But it lies in Drenthe.

heh that's right, get your garbage smelling ass out of our country :P .

And you don't know Doetinchem? You are a teacher for gods sake... c'mon...

Graafschap, does that say anything to you?

Anathema · December 28, 2002

He's a teacher?

Terror · December 28, 2002

i believe so, it is a long time ago though when i heard that, i might be wrong.

gryphon · December 28, 2002

I'm a teacher ! :O

That's a new one for me to, I know some one called Nema a techer ones .. ..

Could be you ever heard me say I had to give classes a uni, but those where occasional and not as a teatcher. I'm way to young for that. ;)

But what makes you think I don't know the location of Doetinchem ?

And I'm sorry, although I've been dragged to soccer games for about 2 years by a girlfriend I ones had . .. the love for soccer didn't caught me though ...

cuz you said middle of nowhere :)

anyway, about that teacher stuff, it was exactly that uni thing yeah. I thought cuz of that, that you were a teacher. I dunno how old you are, but cuz me thinking that you were a teacher i thought like betwee 25 and 30 years

gryphon · December 28, 2002

Nope, I have some field experiances with things they like comment one from time to time. That's why I'm a speaker, well sort of.

But still a student to.

I'm a bit below the first age you've mentioned. :)

Anathema · December 28, 2002

Must have been pretty scary finding out you were a teacher ;D

gryphon · December 28, 2002

You bet y'a.

I'm still shaking where I stand.

Terror · December 28, 2002

hmm well, i have a teacher at school who's only 24.

Anathema · December 29, 2002

Well teachers are people too, I suppose. My mother is a teacher and my father used to be one :)

Terror · December 29, 2002

sure they're ppl, except for my teachers.. they are only ppl as long as they do not teach :) . In class they only seek to bug me or something

DukeLeto · December 29, 2002

This is nice, but isn't it all a LITTLE of topic? Just a little? ;D

Terror · December 29, 2002

hmm i guess you're right... still, at least now i know something about my dutch comrades

gryphon · December 29, 2002

You know a bit about us, but we all about you.. ..

Anyway, who here knows ther origionall board game that started StarFleet Command and Armada. It was made by the Armarillo Design Bureau somewhere back in the '80s I recon.

Under the name Star Fleet Battles. The board wasn't all that big, simple ship-icons a little bit more complicated ships and the rules are enormous.

When you bought all the expansion packs they'll end up about 10 CM, with another 45 orso for the ship data. Lot's and lot's of ships.

Terror · December 29, 2002

oh, i oriented on it once. I wanted to know what it was like, and start myself... until i found out the price.

OMG that stuff is expensive, and it's hard to come by.

You know all about me? like what? hah, you ppl know less about me than you might've wished.

gryphon · December 29, 2002

Yep, it doen't come cheap unfortunately :-

But the game has been worth it for me. I've played ot for a while. Liked the rules and how ther where interconnected. One of the best in board games I've encounterd.

I liked it when the released the first Star Fleet Command, so we could finally play with others [ execpt the group of 5 we had of which 2 good players ] without having to travel for more then 2 hours :P

We even gave a demonstration of the computer game at a "trekkies" convention those days.

So if any of you guy's has ever been there, this has been the first real indication of who I am in real life. . . [ mind that I'm not a trekkie . .. anymore ] Anyone remembering me ? ;D ;)

Terror · December 29, 2002

eeeeh... you were a trekkie? eeeeeuw ;)

yeah i like star trek, from time to time. Starfleet Command was pretty cool. It could irritate at times though. (you know, when your weapons get destroyed 0,5 sec. before you wanted to fire and stuff)

gryphon · December 29, 2002

Happens to me all the time. But luckaly there are numerous of other options to supprise your enemy.

Suddenly tracktor him and send bording parties combined with boarding shuttles and SS shuttles. [ in that order or your SS could destriy there shuttle bay ].

With a lucy strike he will be more then just cripled. But don't try to take over the ship, that's way to hard. Criple it, and then self destruct it. Your apponent will be mad as h!ll ;D

And don't worry, I wasn't a trekkie for long ...

Terror · December 30, 2002

oh :O i usually just captured the ship, too bad that it only helped me out for the rest of the mission. Not the campaign. I hate it though that photon torpedoes miss so often

gryphon · December 30, 2002

Yea, overloaded ones are only effectieve at short [ no verry short ] range, prox-torpedo's are. . well usefull at verry big distandes. . .else useless to and th enormal torpedo is well .. useless at all ranges :P

But those phaser 1 banks arn't aal that bad ;D

Coming within short range of those and your ship is gone within 2 shots.

Unly Starbases have them though. :-

Besides that, if you'r not used to fighters they can be darn anoying.
