[quote]Wild one, should we start a new thread as I find some of the above comments offensive? [/quote] Right - if one of my people is offended, it's time for The Iron Paw to take action. MM77: as much as I love you, you can't get away with trashing people and then put a smiley at the end of the line - it doesn't wash. I ask you to respect the OpCentre. Unfortunately, access to threads is public, so starting a new thread doesn't solve the problem. If you want to
[quote]Or is that poor ironing one[/quote] Hmmm....Mrs. Wombat would have a very definite opinion to offer here...if I let her read the thread.... ;) And hey - nice score Hurls! [Message Edited]
[quote]Wouldn't it be less painful to just go with my vote?[/quote] What, you think this is a democracy? Hell, I'm just letting you all feel good. I'm the only one with the admin priviledges...and it's a military outfit. ;p The Iron Paw
AARG! I make that four votes all, with black smoke and Piers to vote. I am a little sensitive to Obi's comment about grabbing a prestigious symbol for a game; Killa and I share similar feelings about the use of "ANZAC" as an empire name. Anyway, lets see what the others say.
OK - we'll need to wait for all the votes if there isn't an obvious winner. It's a race in two, unless there are other strong feelings. I'd favour stripes over triangle, so that's two all with one observer for stripes. Actually, the Israeli one was kinda neat, too. Keep the votes coming... ;)
Is it just me, or is the 'mercenary' idea just the stupidest thing you've ever heard? No offense Steve, but this joker plays TWO games for you, then leaves, TAKING HIS POINTS WITH HIM?! Hope he enjoys the virtual snags, snooks.... [Message Edited]
OK everyone - last refresh! Gold star this time, and that's just about it. Thanks in particular to Jaws who really hunted up some good ones; the problem is that an image with ANY complexity seems to simply trash out in the forums. So far we've had: 1. The 'foxhead' 2. Medal of Honour 3. Silver star 4. Dragon on spaceship 5. Sgt. stripes 6. Delta force (the triangle - Killa I dont know what Delta force is; Quack will know!) 7. Gold star Really, the on
Just an idea to throw into the melting pot re pop growth: players seem to reject the value of the relevant trade goods that increase population and morale, which are inevitably linked. If you cant do without speed (I tend not to need it on small maps), I would suggest giving the trade goods route a try. You'll need to collect the set: Aphrodisiac, Virtual Reality Modules, Regenerators, Ultra Spices etc but these can be purchased from the AIs during the game. I am surprised at the relative pop gr
[quote]it the wombat i tell you.. only allowed to change logos a number of times a day and the fatso pretender is taking all the slots[/quote] I heard that! Just watch it, bat-boy.... ;p It would be evil indeed if I can use the compu-thingy better than the evil ones can....muhahahahah.....
Hey, hey, hey...and welcome...HAREL!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: Well, we just couldn't let that literary talent languish in some other empire, could we? Refresh AGAIN - this is the Delta Force icon. I hear that the sgt. stripes is the likely one, but I have one more after this to try. Humour me, OK?....
[quote]All the best to Special Forces and their invite-only empire![/quote] Thanks Ray - appreciate it! :) Methinks Killa is working out some Oedipal issues here... :sniff!: Welcome Piers! Congrats on the new arrival - pass me a glass of that Ale! [Message Edited]
This reminds me of the traditional stoush between Aussies and New Zealanders. The best quote I ever heard came from David Longe, then NZ Prime Minister. He was asked about too many Kiwis emigrating to Australia. With a wry smile, he said: "Well, the outcome is the average IQ of both countries increases!
Killa - just keep eating those hallucinogenic eucalyptus leaves...you're setting a writing Metaverse record at the moment - and all of them gems! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: Nice work Jaws in print and on scoreboard! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: Refresh again - as Cypher says, another day, another icon! An old army classic this time (where is Sgt. Hard?). I've got two more to try - another type of star and the Delta Force symbol, coming soon. Sorry my muse se
Puny, eh? Mmmm...when I can find some time to write, I shall have my revenge....[glances over at Killa, narrowing his eyes]. "The Iron Paw" will not take this sort of nonsense, not even from a comrade-in-arms... Hey - big public welcome to Special Forces for black smoke!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
OK people - refresh and check this icon out. This one's modified by Jaws (it's a dragon riding a spaceship). Jaws - the latest one you set me didn't work at all on the forums, you couldn't distinguish the SF and it looked like a multicoloured splodge. Not your fault, and thanks for the effort - but it seems the images have to be really simple to look decent on the forums. I have another 4-5 to work through, so let's see what everyone thinks. And Jaws - congrats on No. 2!!! [Message
Alright - what's going on? >:( I've just received ANOTHER request from black smoke to join Special Forces. It would be nice to receive some direct COMMUNICATION from you guys, rather than feeling I'm just standing here holding the door open. Have the three of you decided to go on, or not? black smoke, if you really want in - you HAVE to talk to me/us; either in our thread, or me at [email protected]
Yep, definately potential here... Hard Mullets Mullets Incorporated Seize the Mullet All you need is Mullet Mullet-Men Attack of the Mullets The Mullets Strike Back Return of the Mullets (a trilogy) :SURPRISED:
