Happy. Thanks for asking.

I think he wants details.

Just kinda thinking out loud here, but I bet gay men don't go out for Indian food very often.

Fuck man, you are such a homophobe. You think there aren't gay east indians? You think they starve themselves before making sweet bum love? Get a life, JLP, and for God's sake stop picking on the gays.

It's called "raita" you ignorant racist homophobe.

So...JLP...since we're having such an interesting chat...playing any games worth talking about? Reading any good books? Porking any underaged girls? (I'm trying out this "Just talking to people" thing pENIx goes on about...let's see how it goes....)

There's a reason we don't do the talking thing here.  Want to know what it is?


MOVIES: The other day I pirated all of Red Dwarf, and I've been working my way through it.  Fucking great stuff, there.  Saw the new Deniro/Pacino thing.  It's a turd.  Also watching my usual array of conspiratorial propaganda videos from the Conspiracy Central bittorrent tracker.

GAMES: Crysis still won't run worth a damn on my computer.  Space Siege is a Gigantic Turd that could have been so much better if they'd bothered to hire writers or voice actors that didn't completely suck.

BOOKS: Re-reading the Dune series (Frank's books, not he-who-must-not-be-named's), for the billionth time.  Considering reading the Bible for the first time in twelve+ years.

UNDERAGED GIRLS: I'm essentially celibate these days.  I'm not too pleased about it, but I don't care enough to go trying to do something about it.



You see, Wilber?  Do you see why we don't do this?  Have either of us gained anything by this?  No.

NEGRO ALERT: THE FOLLOWING POST IS TOO LONG FOR NEGROES. IF YOU ARE A NEGRO, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READ THIS POST!!!

Haha...okay...it's a midget joke. I'm not sure I qualify - I'm a few inches more than double his height, but the joke was well played.

Well...the personal stuff wouldn't play at all in the day or evening, but at 2:30 AM it's mildly entertaining. When I lost my wife to cocaine I went into a bit of a depression and the only thing that pulled me out of it was watching Red Dwarf and BlackAdder. I have them pretty much memorized. As for the Dune books - they're worth reading and reading again. Having done so I'm finished with them, but there's no denying their worth. As for reading the Bible, somewhere in a box I have a book called The Bible Reader that provides exegesis on all the important parts from three perspectives: christian, jewish and moslem. Not only does it save you the pain of skipping over the begats, it gives you some good insight into the differences and similarities of the three religions.

As for games, I believe I covered the ps3 aspect the other night so I won't bore you with that again. On the comp. I'm playing Travian - basically the modern version of Hammurabi, with lots of differences of course. The server I'm playing on has some 46.5k players...most of them about 12 years old. It's mildly entertaining, but I'm at the point where I'd be quite happy if somebody took me down and released me from the drudgery. 

The game I miss playing the most is Descent...remember that one? I wish they'd update it, there was nothing funner than cave crawling and bot shooting in a super-responsive little space craft. That was the game that taught me how to use the hat button...damn...I really miss my hat button.

Anyways...hope I haven't bored you too much. One question: why the celibacy if you're not enjoying it?
(Hey pENIx...is that right? Should I end with a question?)

I believe that to be the average age on just about all of the servers.  Still, I do get a bit of a sadistic kick from their whiny messages after they say some-thing extremely stupid, and I've set about systematically destroying their villages (Eventually, forcing them in-to deletion).  But, yeah, other than those moments, the game can be a real drag.

Remember, hell, I own all three.  The best was the second, which I played 1v1 over a 19200 baud modem connection for many a long night, once upon a time.  My favorite trick was to blow the reactor, sit at the map's exit and defend it as long as possible, then book it out the exit leaving a cloud of mines floating in my wake.

Ahh, and the level editor for that game... due to the way the map geometry worked, you could make tesseract levels in it, like a figure 8 map where the tunnels occupied the same space in the middle but didn't actually intersect.  Great shit.

EDIT: I recently ripped the soundtrack off of my old Descent 2 CD.  Great soundtrack.

I had all three as well, second was definitely the shit (I mean that in a good way)...but the only one I still possess is #3 which was too short and didn't have half the tension or fun of the first two. It does make you think...with all the power of the modern processor, and the incredible graphics capabilities, I still mourn for jaggy old Descent 2. I never used the level editor - in fact the only level editor I ever used much was for StarCraft. I became a StarCraft junky for a couple of years...spent countless (and cuntless) hours on Battlenet getting my alien ass blown off by Korean hive-minds. 

Question...any chance of getting that CD rip off you? I know I'd like it...and so would my dear old Pa, who got me into Descent in the first place.

Also, I note that you avoided the celibacy question. I won't probe into what's obviously a delicate issue, other than to ask, what the fuck's the matter with you?

I know that jerking off a lot leads to hairy palms, but I didn't know about the stigmata. Rough luck.

Dec! Another person to practice "just talking to people" with. I can't believe there's an-other soul here nerdy and all-alone enough to waste his life playing Travian. Hey - if you're in the NW area of server 3, would you mind turning me into a farm? I have a lot of work to do....

Sorry - Can't help you there.  I only play the speed servers.  I tried one of the standard servers on the COM once; But, I found the up-grade times required after the first level to be unbearable.  Even the speed servers can be rather dull most of the time.  I only play to have a few "lulz' with my friend from Norway.  At the end of each server, I all-ways swear that I'm not coming back for the next round; But, she all-ways manages to talk me in-to it.

By the way, the UKX just restarted earlier this week if you're looking for a new server.  It's the only one that I'm playing on these days (Having three separate windows open for three different servers all of the time grew to be too much of a hassle).

WilberCuntLicker wrote:

The speed servers sound much more bearable...if I feel like doing this again that's definitely the way I'll go.

Let me know if you do be-fore the next UKX starts (Which should be a-round February) and we can register for the same quadrant.

It's a date. Remind me if I forget - seriously. I have no calendrical acuity. It would be great fun to form a stoned, drunken, geriatric alliance.

Will do - Assuming that I remember my-self.  My last two alliances were WW holders; So, I've a few in-game e-friends who definitely know what they're doing.  We'll just have to see which ones return next round (Most of them skipped this one due to the quick restart date {Only five days after the finish of the last server}; So, I went with a small, unknown alliance for a change this round).

"15-croppers" are too much of a hassle to maintain as far as I'm concerned.  Occasionally, I'll settle one as a village to "burn" my excess resources in; But, for end-game, I generally prefer a "9-cropper" as my capital, and try to have most of my resource fields up to level fourteen or fifteen ensuring that I can "spit out" much-needed reinforcements at any given moment (That obviously includes level twenty barracks and stable and a level eighteen tournament square).

And, yeah, the kids generally have no tact what-so-ever - Again, there-in lies the potential "lulz" (I forced five of them in-to deletion last round - Good times).

So, does any-body else on here waste as many valuable hours of their life on this damned game as Wilbur and I (I'm assuming that any-body who doesn't quit following the conversation some time a-go)?

WilberCuntLicker wrote:

We're thinking about 15-croppers as communal investments. I chose a 9 as my 2nd village, and it's paying off nicely. I certainly wouldn't want a 15 as my 2nd village - too big a drain on the resources of the first.

Yeah, they're fine as a third or fourth village (Can sustain a good sized army and easier to defend than an oasis); But, it never fails to amaze me how many players settle a "15-cropper" for their capital.  I had to "sit" an alliance member's account for a few weeks last server whilst he was vacation, and found the limitations a bit annoying (Only to a slight degree mind you as it wasn't my damned account, and - Thus - not really my problem).  He was all-so a Teuton which didn't help matters as far as I was concerned; But, that's "an-other story."

And, can I assume that you had the sense to save that "9-cropper" for your capital?  It'll seriously pay-off come end-game (Assuming that your alliance has a "shot" at building a WW).  Mine was producing over 35,000 wheat per hour by the end of the last round (You know, when the "multis" tend to over-look the "pushing" rule).

Thanks for the tip - I did have the good sense to make my first village a residence, and the 9-cropper is still around lvl 6, so I haven't been thinking about royalty. Our alliance is nowhere near a WW - we're currently struggling to fend off a couple of enormous rivals. You do get a lovely sense, from this game, of how stressful it must be to have a cancerous gang of bullyboys spreading through your end of the universe like an aggressive cancer. I am still amazed, in this game, by the numerical sizes reached, and the awesome, if abstract, scale of the battles. And I know I ain't seen nothin' yet.

I'd suggest that you limit your-self to only one "bad habit" then.  You can either continue to scratch your ass every five minutes, or continue to chew your finger-nails; But, they really do make for a bad combination.

If you're dealing with catapults, you might want to go a-head, and start a stoned-mason there now.  It'll seriously reduce the damage (All-Though, any-body with a level twenty rally point can target it; But, it's rarely the first consideration as taking out the main building, barracks, and stable tends to more effectively cripple your opponent).  And, next time a-round, you might want to consider Gaul over Roman - Compare the attack and defense statistics betwixt the two for the "higher-end" troops (All-So, Gauls have stronger walls and larger crannies and Romans generally make for a more attractive target as - Among other reasons - they tend to be the tribe of choice for "n00bs").

If they're hitting crops (A-Side from those supporting a WW), they're either idiots, or they were attempting to target a structure that hasn't yet been constructed/reconstructed.  Observing their pattern over the next few attacks should let you know which applies.

Now with my resources all up to 12, with 4 13s, I'm pumping out the defense in expectation of all hell breaking loose.

Ah, I didn't realize that you had fields at that level in your server village.  You might want to wait until you're ready for level eleven fields in your "nine-cropper" be-fore you set it as your capital then; Be-Cause (As you most likely all-ready realize), all of those fields are going to drop to level ten once you make the switch.

Actually...it's good that you told me cuz I did not know.

As for Teutons, the only advantage is that maces are so cheap that losing a few hundred is no more than a minor annoyance.  Sure, their wall is near-indestructible; But, as it provides fuck-all for defense, who gives a damn?

Not me!

You'll see some major differences when you try a speed server (Especially when it comes to "hero points" - They really fuck you {And, not in the good way} there on the standard servers).  And, speaking of heroes, if you go Gaul next round, I'd recommend holding out for a haeduan for your hero.  Most people that I know go with theutates; But, the choice seems rather short-sighted to me (Most of them are just so damned anxious to get their hero that they can't be bothered to wait on "haeds;" All-Though, I do realize that a few do choose the theutate for the speed).

There don't seem to be heroes on this server. Or, now that I look into it, stoned masons.... Am I on some crippled version of the real game?

I'm so pleased I was able to bring the two of you together.
