Aurillion Province

[Maniac]

I wouldn't rush units or formers unless absolutely needed, only facilities, because for buildings it's only 2 energy per mineral, while it's a lot more for units. And I agree with Cedayon you shouldn't put fusion power on it.

[Method]

oh, right never thought of that (the fission)
but maniac, rushing it IS absolutely needed

[Maniac]

I would define "absolutely needed" as a mind worm or a military unit threatening an undefended base.

[Method]

well, ok....but aurillion currently has zero boreholes, and 1 former at every base just won't do. i'm trying to boost production here, and i'd like to get these former out as quickly as i can. besides, it's not as if we're strapped for cash here is it?

[Method]

***announcement***
Aurillion province now has 3 boreholes


now, i was planning to set up a thread like maniac's, so i went searching for images

UNPD
(changed to UN pizza)
or


DEM (did a google image search of deus ex machina, but since i have no clue what it is, i picked this because it looks cool )


ZG: didn't find anything. what is it anyhow?

Xanadu:
(another "WTF is $BASENAME1?"->google->first cool image i find)

UNMI

or

DEM: a PC game... game of the year sometime ago, actually.

Zanarkand Gate: You haven't played FF10!? And you call yourself *evil*!?

... ah, err... ... I mean, "Zanarkand" is the name of a city in Final Fantasy 10

[Cedayon]

k, a pic of Zanarkand (after it got... sorta messed up):



Another one, from before its little incident:



Also, DEM may just be referring to the Latin phrase for (bad translation)The methods/machinations of God(/bad translation), rather than the game "Deus Ex"

[GeneralTacticus]

I believe the original DEM was a plot device employed in Greek plays to resolve problems by divine intervention.

[Pandemoniak]

Excellent pics, Cedayon !

And indeed, GT's right, Deus Ex Machina is the latine expression for the divine intervention that solves a plot, originally an ancient greek tragedies drama effect.

[Method]

i somehow don't think showing people a picture of a barren wasteland will encourage immigration

but the second one perhaps

Zanarkand Gate: You haven't played FF10!? And you call yourself *evil*!?

only FF8, and i uh, didn't enjoy it

[DeathByTheSword]

Q: if you get Postcount reduction you get notifieed right? and if a thread is deleted you lose all your posts?

EDIT: sorry wrong place

I didn't like FF8 as much as the others... and FF10 is leaps and bounds more fun and enjoyable than 8.

Don't forget to poll boreholes TKG.
