I just make a room when I need one, Tass, on any server that seems to be deserted

Teh sux.

Get one of those all-in-one IM programs and come back! I want ot chat with you every day.

[Jamski]

These all-in-one programs are like WinXP. They have lots of features, ask for updates, have no security, and crash.

I like my little direct-access client It has NO features, and a text prompt to do everything instead of buttons

[Nubclear]

But does it keep a friends list?
No.

Thus, you need something like Trillian.

[Jamski]

I'm quite capable of remembering who I know

-Jam

[Nubclear]

True, but you never knopw if they are online or not.

[Jamski]

I can always *ping* them, if I really have to know

A Leffe please!
/me turns to the nearest Hivean.
There's something I've been wondering about for a few mission years: How do you give your unit names a blue font: "Yangbomber", "Liberator" etcetera? Granted it's long ago I played PBEMs, but as far as I recall I haven't seen this before in any game I played.

Ah, I guess we see the role of "God" differently. Personally I consider the authority of a majority of the ACDG players higher than the authority of the God, whose task is among others to execute the rules decided upon by the players. So IMO if a majority of ACDG players decide defections are not allowed, then they are not allowed, but if they change their opinion later, they are allowed after all.

I disagree with this for one primary reason. I don't think rules should change midgame without the CMN's consent. Rules were voted for in the begining, and agreed upon. Changing them on the whim of the people, when it may affect one faction adversely more than others, is bad form, IMHO. However if everyone agrees, or if the CMN thinks it's ok too, then it's ok. Also, it depends how the poll is worded. Many polls before we were unsure about. Also, as Tass says, the CMN sees all, the voters don't.

But hey, I'm happy with it either way, and I doubt they'll be a problem with either from not on

/me offers Drogue an Orval.

I'm sure you're gonna like this one, 8 promille...

[Maniac]

Percent would be better IMHO. 8 promille sounds like coloured water.

We shall immediatlyt upload a copy of partyhard.exe into Jamski's new implants! And now, as the new function, you must ask your internal function your name, and I will be the first to continue the age old tradition of buying drinks for the newcomer.... wait, you're the barkeeper..... never mind, we'll get you drunk on your own liquor, AND make you buy us new implants! Throw away that useless Hive currency!
