Where's the Evil? There is certainly a dichotomy between this statement and your forum persona. Maybe Good Sunshinebringer is really not all that far off. You liked that one huh? No Mumblefratz, my online persona is probably way off when it comes to my beliefs. I am very religious in the sense that I thoroughly believe in God, and Jesus (and fe
We would be alot better of if the IRS was scraped infavor of a tierd consumer tax. But then the whole issue of the IRS being totally illegal in the first place would come into play... and I doubt that there's a federal judge presiding anywhere who would slit his own throat to rule against his employer.
We are somehow "entitled" to a worry-free and happy existence, by the simple act of being born into this world. QO your remarks sum it up nicely. Thankfully there are those of us who do beleive you do actually have to WORK for a living to EARN a living. I am not delusional about life not being fair and I know full well that you ha
Mumble is humble about his wages, but for someone down here in North Florida, he sounds very rich--unless you know something about the cost of living in the Boston area. I was shocked when Mumble revealed his hourly. I wish I could make a third of that an hour as it would help keep the 'monkey' off my back. It seems that anymore all the wife and
Some stuff around here's almost tempted me to try Civ4, but I can too easily believe this is too true, and when you put it together with the well-known resource hog problems that game has, well, thanks for the memories, Sid... I guess I can understand where you are coming from with that one G.W. but I have never had any issues with the game, any
Never played GC1 either so I don't have experience with what they bring to the game but I can get a pretty good idea based on what I've read in some past comments made by GC1 players. I think it would add a little something to the mix and the idea itself is definitely probable in terms of something like space monsters lurking in the cold depths of space.
Thank you for the timely and informative response Kryo. That was what I had assumed, but you know about assuming... And as always Kryo, you are the MAN! Haven't said that for a couple of months and didn't want you to forget it.
Just trying to update my game to the 1.40x.071 version but when I go to the downloads section in here it only offers v1.40x.067. Is there something I am missing? Just wanted to know because the game isn't actually installed on my work computer and going through Stardock Central isn't so easy, especially if I have to put it on a flash drive, take it home and upload it, and then still have to go online to activate. At least this is what I believe I have to do. Not sure since I haven't even upload
f you're evil the evil races are better allies than the good races are if you're good. How so Mumblefratz? I've never strayed from being an evil civ so I wouldn't know the differences when it comes to ally interaction. The Korx are always useless unless I carry them for most of the game but the Drengin have always fared well in my games, especi
a few winter's orbs in my sidebar went a long way A very helpful artifact(I believe, it has been a few years)to have! I almost always made black/red decks but found an all blue deck to be almost too powerful if you have the right combo of cards and can get enough mana going early enough to utilize some of the awesome spells. But black was by far
At the risk of getting flamed, I would like to say that the proper terminology for the whole 14 hours of work thing is Wage Slavery, which is very much alive and well in all 'developed' nations as well as 'developing' ones, and especially here in the good old US of A. People need to look at one major point in all of this and that is production. To me, health care sucks up way too much of our money, and pays out way too much to doctors, dentists, etc. for their work. They technically produc
the first time i used this term was when i played magic: the gathering. a cheese deck was composed entirely of cheap, direct damage spells Yes, I hated this aspect of playing Magic. A deck like this totally took away from the enjoyability of just playing the game. Now I can understand if you're playing a tournament... then you would definitely w
Not that it matters much but I was wondering if anyone knew how often this forum updated itself to show the most recent post. It seems like I can refresh this page for twenty minutes before something I responded to shows up, other times it is almost immediate. Again, no big deal, but sometimes it can be annoying.
Cheese, from the latin origin Cheesiusus Maximusius, meaning to use underhanded measures in order to gain an advantage against one's opponent at all costs, even though said 'underachiever' could have probably won without using such measures. Also found under Cheatius Asmuchus Asican, a longer and more specialized meaning, which seemed to be used only by the Peepeeouchwhenpeeing tribes located in the Nile Delta before the Great Pyramid descended from the heavens.

You didn't read all the posts did you Lenuis? The OP said; You stray from the point, which was you didn't read all of the replies.
How do I decide on a personal icon? Simple. I use my baby pictures.
The "want it now" generation seems try to make everything faster. Simply put, the Bible can now be read twice as fast for someone who can read this form of language. ( I personally find it very hard to understand myself.) I think one thing that is lost in this is the ability to allow your mind to reflect upon what you have read. The Bible is
While we may not all be perfect, it is worth the effort. Why do we need grammar-nazi? To keep the 1337 Uber speak from replacing English, that's why. Exactly my dear Watson, exactly.
Again, success is how we, as individuals, define it for ourselves. This is true. However, there is a chilling undertone to this... Psych research students did a study on human "relations" so to speak where they tried to determine what factors make people in general gravitate towards or away from other people. It was designed to show how we
Yes I have noticed a definite improvement over the past week or so. I originally attributed it to my switch over to FireFox, but that apparently wasn't the case. Regardless, it is just one of those things that I've come to roll with, although the website issues did decrease my forum reading quite a bit for most of last week. No problems posting from forums.galciv2 though.
Oh, I see, you've bought into the fallacy that we're only in this game once and the one who grabs the most stuff before they dies, wins? Sorry for not keeping all of this in one reply but work has called and you know how that is. Anyhow, in reference to your comment which I've quoted, it seems then that you would believe in reincarnation, correc
You do yourself no credit to love those who love you. It is how you treat those who don't like you that will measure your success. Were you recently watching the Passion of the Christ? Same line, same tone...
And they use their secret feminine wiles to lure their husbands away from the game. That's a good one. Secret feminine wiles... My wife just pokes her head into the office and gives me one of those patented stares of hers and that's all it takes. No wooing, no wiles, no little slip of the nightie to show some leg... nothing! Just a stare. M
Enter social programs. While it may not apply to the folks mentioned, it certianly applies to some areas. The gov't writing checks each month to the aforementioned lazy folks in the post above. Yes, it is sad that programs which were meant to actually do some good end up getting hijacked by what I like to call "welfare worms". My own brother in
This thread goes from grammer Nazis to Oprah... *** hangs head in shame *** Maybe so but that's how we keep this forum interesting! My hat is off to you for being able to drive a Ford, let alone one as old as that 72 that you speak of. As fa
