Yeah, but it's a little less likely to turn our stomachs when we think of Dawn and one other person. 

I'd hate for him to get a reputation as the "guy who holds everyone's hand".

That's a story better left to be told in person.  I'll tell you at the next L-Day I manage to attend.  (between 1/9 and 1/23)

I earned Eagle, but due to some political horseshit I was never awarded it.  I still consider myself Eagle though.

I'll explain to you some time.

General Discussion / What did Santa bring?

« on: December 25, 2005, 12:01:58 am »

Heh, I celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so I've already had a visit from Santa.  This is the place to tell us what you got!  No jealousy.  No showing off (bragging).  Just tell us what you got.

I have received:


The Essential Su Doku


Blink by Ted Dekker


A Star Wars Poster Calendar (I love my fiancee!)


Rubik's Professor Cube (yes I can solve the 3x3 and the 4x4)


A LEATHER briefcase with smart strap for my laptop.

I also got a leather bound, gold leaf BEAUTIFUL copy of The Iliad and The Odyssey (my sister rules!)

HA HA HA!!  I know it was unintended, but that pun was great - that may be why there's all this drama with GoRC.

Anywho . . . yeah, I cook.  I was taught by my grandfather (an ARMY cook) how to cook when you don't have the stuff you need, so I know how to make almost anything taste good.  Being an Scout (from back when being a Scout meant something) helped.  I would have to turn whatever I could into a nourishing and good-tasting meal. 

Consequently, if anyone ever wants to try some GOOD rattlesnake chili . . . just find me a six footer and I'll cook it (anything smaller and you won't get enough meat for chili).

I think it's too late now . . . .

Man, next L-Day we have at someone's house, I'll grill it up!  Dawn, you need to have my cooking ;D

The last two links are broken. 

I'd love a widescreen aspect ratio copy of those!

heh, I'll say here what I've said already about concept sketches:

EMAIL ME!!!

I'll crank them out as fast as I can.  How quickly I get them scanned in is a different story.

As a mathematician, I've found that there are two basic types of research.  Public and private.  Why not incorporate that?  Have a base research (public) that can be purchased, and then several different upgrades based upon the research dedicated to whatever by the player (private).

This way, no one has a MASSIVE advantage, but everyone is unique.

Suggestions / Re: Player expansion of the game

Hmmmm . . . I'm digging that.  We could even have regions of planets for "rent".  Imagine the interesting FPS stages you could have if two warring factions purchased space on the same planet.

Seriously, give me ideas and I'll crank out sketches as fast as I can.  (now the problem is getting them scanned in)

I REALLY hate to bust your bubble on the drone, but that looks even more Star Wars.  Say hello to the TIE Phantom.

Heh, to quote my favorite cartoon:

Bender: Let's make this interesting . . . everyone give me 5 bucks.

*everyone gives him 5 bucks*

Bender: There, wasn't that interesting?  *starts to count money*

Yeah, I got it. 

I have over 2000 physical posts.  Dawn's count is over 3000 but his physical count is something more like 800.  The closest person to me is probably Fudge.  He's got like 1200 or something.
