dell 2405FPW (24" 1920x1200). about to add either two more and put them in portrait (for 3600x1920) or two 2005FPW's (20.1" 1600x1200) on to the sides. the 20.1" monitors are a lot more affordable, but i'd ideally prefer the monitors of the same model, so that the colors and luminosity match. i will game on all three using SoftTH.

[quote]Are you telling me to Frak Off?[/quote] no Seth, neilo was making a rhetorical point. if you read what he was saying closely, it amounts to: "if opine on something you're not a part of, the people who are might likely tell you to frak off. don't you agree?" the "you" is seeker or people in general.
yeah, seeker's a tool. [quote]@Dys..well done mate. Mr Gone..as in Mister Gone from The Maxx. Thats the only Mr. Gone i know.[/quote] yep that's the one. not that i wish to emulate a serial rapist by any means, but after thinking about it, he's really, really evil for some pretty twisted reasons (besides the whole serial rapist thing, which i read as something he did specifically to get to Julie Winters, not as a joy in itself). i mean trying to trap people into a subconscious
on another note, i decided that my renewed effort should have a renewed MV character, so i've renamed my 1st character to Mr. Gone and given him an appropriate new avatar. check it out. http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=player&id=6201 update: i played seven ZYWs today. the first two were on smaller maps, but the next five were gigs ranging from the mid 70k to mid 80k range. i added over 100k to my character score.
good game motti! you should post some tips on getting ZYWs up that high... as committed as i am, i'm definately not the same caliber you are.
[quote]This entire post is just childish and I'm meant to be the child here. I'll tell you what I see... I see grown men and women complaining about someone's mistakes on a gaming forum. A GAMING FORUM PEOPLE... That's all it is. [/quote] cheating is still cheating. if you invested any time or energy into MV play, you might understand why it's so irritating. [quote]Just step back and see what your doing people. Not just to Harborne but to our community here.[/quote]
[quote]BUG: With random opponents I've been having one of my opponents come up as "Custom Civ" with the same color as mine fairly frequently. My solution for the moment has to just not play with random races.[/quote] pretty sure you have to delete your other custom races to prevent them from coming up at random.
cross-quoting? [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote]Aww. Can't we do both?[/quote] heh, of course you can. i was only speaking for myself, though i'm glad you're on board with the "thrust for more points" idea [e digicons]:grin:[/e] i just don't have energy left at the end of my day to spend time thinking about trolls, 20-year-old kids and other other people i generally place in the "loser" file. life's too short, ya know?

nice! i think he'll notice, personally, just never admit it. but i don't think he'll overtake the top 3 any time soon. he's at 5 million, looking at almost 9 million just to overtake the dilopmats, 13 million for us, and 25 million for y'all. that's a looong road.
hey guys, i have an idea. instead of complaining about Harbourne, who is indeed a turd (to put it very, very nicely), i'm going to show him that he's got nothing on us. i'm gonna to set a goal for myself of playing at least 50 ZYWs over the next 2 weeks. it won't be easy, since i don't exactly have a lot of spare time, but i'll find a way to do it. don't get me wrong, i'm not going all "think positive" or anything. competition is good, and this is the sorta thing that'll only br
We'll just have to put some work in to keep him out of the top 3. Shouldn't be hard, I doubt they let him play GC2 at day care...
nice pic KP. Blindness (the novel) wasn't a "suspense" story. IMHO it was more like one of those stories about how fragile "civilization" really is, and how easily human beings can and usually do revert to a state of barbarism. but it wasn't as simple as that, as all that depravity and inhumanity was juxtoposed against people who were sensitive, deeply compassionate and openly vulnerable. Sarmago won the novel prize for a reason. i'm just hoping the movie holds a candle to the novel.<
okay off topic, but is anyone looking forward to seeing (no pun intended) Blindness? the novel was one of the best i've read in years. http://www.blindness-themovie.com/

I've got used to Outlook. Word ane Excel are cool if you know what you're doing. XP has been a fine OS for me. but i wouldn't say that i like any of them. i've noticed lag time with new posts for a while now, maybe about a week. i can't tell if it's a consistent lag or sporatic. it is, in my observation, pervasive across the various means where a new post shows up, i.e., in the forum itself, in the recent posts list, and in the forums lists.
nope, he hasn't really shown up on the ToE forum either. BTW, DEATH TO MICROSOFT ACCESS!
other people can give you karma for various points you make, or just to boost your ego, or because you're in charge of the number one empire and they're bandwagon jumpers... you know, whatever.
i think that's how one would made spheniscidae singular, but i never actually took latin so you'd probably know better than i.
i dunno, my 3rd character still doesn't have any games so maybe then. i've been on another not-gaming-much spell.
i should have this thread in my recent posts list. now i do. prepare to be annoyed and pestered!
[quote]No wonder alot of you guys don't like to vote....[/quote] yeah, sorta like being asked, would you rather use a smith & wesson or a glock to shoot yourself in the face?
thanks [e digicons]|-)[/e] and of course....
[quote]We can show you how to boost your scores and make it into the top ten if you'd like. You know where we are.[/quote] we'll even make an exception, since you're "good", and not require the usual blood sacrifices. only one blood sacrifice in your case. may i suggest a feline or spheniscida?
i bet if Spore was a better game there wouldn't be quite as much uproar about the copy protection. from what i've seen the game itself looked rather disappointing for all its hype. hell, there were people i know who never game talking and asking me about Spore. from what i've seen it has elements from a number of different games, but none of them are developed enough to be good. a game is more than the sum of its parts. throwing a lot of mediocre small games together does not make one
