I have been told I act older than my age. Old fogey? I'm a year younger than you are!

As for reaching out and touching someone, I like long-range missiles. The most impressive thing I've heard recently is that the Apache has a kill range of four miles.

Bah. I prefer the tried and true 45 km range of the Crusader Artillary system.

"Hey, Osama, what's that whistling sound?"


Although, on the note of Hellfire missiles, being a Predator UAV driver over Afghanistan must be pretty fun.

"Let's see...we think OBL is somewhere in this area...bunch of dudes huddled around a fire...guy in the middle is standing up...firing anti-tank hellfire missile now...yep, he's turning his head...ooooohhhh too late."

Where's everybody been recently? Surely there must be more to this forum than me and Lonestar talking about lacrosse?

Hmm, that gives me an evil idea.

I think not, Meestar President!

[Mr. President]

You think those ships are going to stop me? Ha! You are . . . correct!

Well, I've finally managed to get my next story post done. Franky, Lysander just sent Yang a message.

[Mr. President]

Liked your new post, General. Drone Republic President Adams has both an ideological and a personal dislike for the Hive, so if it reached her ears that they were helping Lysander, she would increase economic and military aid to Menelaus. I'm wasn't planning on having her send troops. General, Franky, we'll talk about it more as necessary.

Damn straight.

Oh dear me, I saw that pic of a Star Destroyer just as I was intensely listening to the Imperial March... a coincidence? Most likely, but interesting still.

[Frankychan]

just checking to make sure that I'm still around...My overdue post is becoming unexpectedly difficult. Writer's block is killing me.

I've gone over two drafts and both of them looked like doo-doo. I want the Hive posts to feel more dark but they keep coming up feeling brighter than they should be. That, and since I've seen AOTC two times now...my drafts sound closely like the Galactic Empire.

ARGH!!!!!

Gen Tact-k, I'll go read the latest posts.

Everyone-please forgive my slacking! I'm trying to get it done but I cant get over my "block". If any of you have any recommendations/hints/help that any of you can give me, I'll appreciate it.

[Mr. President]

Don't worry about it, Franky. Whenever you're ready is cool.

Writer's block is killing me.

Woah, sorry man. Must be going 'round, as I seem to have come down with a very bad case of it too...

[Kassiopeia]

Got rid of my block for a bit. The saga of Greg and Filkins continues...

[History Guy]

The scary thing is, I'm meant to be working on a post...but I haven't a clue as to what I shall write. The only ideas I have right now are for, believe it or not, the Peacekeepers!

Any thoughts on what on earth I should do?!

[Lonestar]

Yeah? Well, maybe I'll invade Earth! That'll break some writer's blocks!


(Just joking, the Protectorate has no interest in Earth......yet)

[Kassiopeia]

Yeah? Well, maybe I'll invade Earth! That'll break some writer's blocks!

Something drastic, aye?

I have been fooling around with a parallel universe thingie, like that of Sovereign's but not quite.
