LOL - I forgot to change my 'Poly sig (now done)
I just caught a glimpse of the quote as the post took effect really quickly - but it was Tolkein in an old interview giving (I think) the origins of the name Minas TirithComment

I dunno what you guys are talking about...?
I'll go look in the embassy...
Edit: what the heck, I'll go look in all the embassies.This is what it means to be a Spartan. It's not the killing or the suffering that matters. It's the purity of focus, without fear of death or pain.Comment

Death. Destruction. Disease. Horror. That's what war is all about.
That's what makes it a thing to be avoided.

Yes. The quote database is notorious for a mindnumbing abundance of Star Trek quotes, few of which are really quotable. We compiled a list of the quotes you have in the SMAC text files, but I don't think the admins ever added them to the database even after I had toiled for a couple of hours to format them properly.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test.

I was around when Kirk was just starting to save the galaxy. This stuff is immortal (to people like me).

Oh, and certainly there are TNG quotes there too, from the time I was a bright-eyed child. But it's as if someone's dumped entire scripts in there.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment

I see that the Angels have pulled out of a posible Ind Econ for Flex trade (roleplaying, "in character" that the embargo we are proposing cramps free flow of information - neat argument)
How about offering Gene Splicing for Industrial Economics, straight up, no embargo (only Morgan doesn't have it, and they'll (Angels) will get it from the gaians in 5 years anyway - we can even say that, 'cos they'll know it already)
(I know I was promoting a Soc Psych exchange, but it doesn't sound so desperate when we ask for a level 2 tech - Industrial Economics (opens the path to Environ Econ) for our level 3, instead of asking for a measly level 1 tech)Comment

Yeah, I'd go with that. Better getting something out of it than nothing.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment
