Haha.

It IS fun watching all these people bash each other. I sometimes eat snacks while reading the OT forums. It should be called the OT-Cinema.

[Mr. President]

Yeah, it's like a soap opera. Well, without the interesting characters.

[Sovereign]

Hehe. Wanna place bets on who turns aganist who next?

[Mr. President]

Hmmm . . .

Gay members (MrFun) vs. libertarians (David Floyd)?

Communists (Comrade Tassadar) vs. sarcastics (Lazarus and the Gimp)?

Pro-China (mindseye) vs. creationists (Lincoln)?

[Frankychan]

David Floyd is a libertarian?

The OT is pretty fun cause you can say stuff so long as it's within bounds of Apolyton.

I see Sovereign has been pretty active as of late. Don't get addicted to Apolyton man. Sometimes, I just 'Refresh' the boards just to wait for new replies. That's how bad it gets.

Anyway, back on-topic....Crimson is it ok if I destroy a couple of ships in the upcoming battle? If so, they'll only be minor ships and mostly 'back-effect'. But there's something you gotta confirm for me. I'm thinking that Drone ships are gonna be well-built (considering ingame the Drones have the best Industrial capability). Is this true, or did you have something else in mind?

[Mr. President]

Yeah, that's fine.

What I figured was that Drone ships are structurally sound - well designed if you like - but that their weapons and other technology are somewhat "quaint" and approaching outdated. Certainly behind University or Morgan Industries technology.

[Mr. President]

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
You'll understand it all bye and bye.

[Sovereign]

Heh. My ulterior motive for going to the OT forums...


err... I shouldn't say any more. I've said too much!

Mother****ing communist! Your mother sucks **** in Hell!


/me takes a deep brief.

Sorry, juct came from the OT.

[Mr. President]

Sorry, I was tired.

[Sovereign]

Heh.

Lonestar blowing up sure is fun to watch.

[Mr. President]

I'm getting too picky with respect to internet images and whatnot, and I blame my mother's new laptop.

See, I use the internet on said laptop, which is not only fitted with a broadband connection with unlimited downloads, but also comes equipped with Adobe Photoshop Elements.

The main effect of this is that I no longer hold back from changing my avatar to a picture that I think is cool, like my current one of a Dakmor Sorceress. I kept using Photoshop features that I didn't even know what they meant, until the image looked bad and I had to throw it out, go back to the big picture, and copy the requisite part anew.

But I think it looks reasonable now.

[Frankychan]

Well, that is cool. I don't mind the Magic: The Gathering avatars cause you pick some pretty nice ones.

As for me, I'm stuck on Disney Villains and plan on using all of them in a row. Right now I have Clayton (from Tarzan) and have about 5 or 6 more in different variation. I have about 8 or 9 other Disney villains with about the same variation in them.

But going back on topic, my post is just about done. I won't mention too much about ships blowing up and stuff, except for my own. It's probably going to look like the opening shots of the battle between the Drones vs. Hive so I'll make it with that in mind. I won't mention any Drone ships blowing up, but I'll have my ships explode from kamikaze runs. This way, Crimson you can do the damage from your side, and hopefuly vice versa. But if you want, you can blow up a couple of my ships, but please leave the command ship "relatively" intact.

I just have to go over the draft and clear up some stuff. But all in all, it's about done.....planning on doing "wave" tactics.
