Good job and a good time. Sorry I couldn't show, but in my own defence I did say I probably couldn't make it this time, I shouldn't have been on the main roster anyways. :/

//Jack

*drool*

//Jack

Ok. You asked for it. Maybe this weekend.

//Jack

Put me up as a reserve to the reserves as I really doubt me making this time. But I do applaude the thought behind it. Let's do a kill-all Quaterhell efter it!

//Jack

Re-install and wait for free weekend is all I'm saying.

I can make one. But don't tempt me. I'll be wandering around there for hours asking stupid questions.

Actually wouldn't Castle = Fortress?

[/ QUOTE ]

Castle is a reference to the chess maneuver of Castling, rather than to the architectural structure called a Castle. Hence my forum Avatar.

I was actually looking for a term synonymous with "Discovered Attack" for the Praetorian name, but settled on "Checkmate" when I couldn't find anything suitable in the 2 minutes I allowed myself to look.

EDIT: To add clarification:
[ QUOTE ]
In chess, a discovered attack is an attack revealed when one piece moves out of the way of another. Discovered attacks can be extremely powerful, as the piece moved can make a threat independently of the piece it reveals. Like many chess tactics, they succeed because the opponent is unable to meet two threats at once. While typically the consequence of a discovered attack is the gain of material, they do not have to do this to be effective; the tactic can be used merely to gain a tempo.

I always thought of castling as 'go hide'. Don't go anywhere Castle.

- For some reason your Windows 3.1 won't recognize it.

Sorry, that should read:

"To your surprise, it won't install on DOS 2.0"

(And BTW - when I was 12, the ONLY computer I had access to ran on an HP 2000 mainframe via a teletype terminal aat 100 baud (no K ), and was called 'STT1' (It was a Star Trek simulator written circa 1973); and I STILL don't consider myself 'too old' for CoX).

[/ QUOTE ]Similar here. But I was 17.

Congratulations, Steelclaw. You made me feel old AND young at the same time.

The first computer I had access to was a Vic-20 which you connected directly to your television set. I was around 10 at the time.

Each key had a sub-set of "graphics" on it so you could literally make graphic programs using only Print or Printtab() commands.

I created a boxing program using stick figures in this manner.

The memory on it was so small that anything more ambitious than an Adventure style text game would deplete it.

It didn't even come with a disk drive... you had to use a tape recorder to save your programs... and lord forbid you forget which digit counter your saved file began at.

And yet.. here I am... still kickin'... wheezin'.. but still kickin'..

There's a Country Western song that sums up how I feel about my age. It goes like this:

"I ain't as good as I once was... but I'm as good ONCE as I ever was."

[/ QUOTE ]

Arrgghh! Now I feel very old if this is old. :-/

//Jack

This should be posted on the wall in every AE building.

*watches Guardian crumble and is not a happy camper*

If you feel you have to. But you know you will be sorely missed. You know you have a home here anytime you might want to drop back in.

Take care Noire.

Well then to clarify... nobody in THIS THREAD!

Nice dodge.

//Jack

I was a newbie for two weeks but that's just me.

//Jack

Jack Power = Joe Blow?

//Jack

This entire thread reminds me that you're a newbie for about a week but a n00b for life.

//Jack

Welcome back. Swede here and have never found playing on Guardian to be a problem. You'll run into Europeans on any server you pick so that shouldn't be a problem.

The server question. Freedom is biggest but as Emberly said, the idiots are as plentyful as the good players. You should know that the two top servers have so far had problems on the different events with greying out from time to time.

Freedom is a hate or love thing depending on who you ask.

//Jack

PS. City or United?

Happy Canadia day!

Just finished both the TF and the SF tonight. I must say I liked 'em both about equally, if anything the villain one was slighlty better.

The final fight was darn hard but we got him in the end. This is just what I have been wanting for a long time. A challenge. Though we played the villain one on challenge level one.

Have to love some of the CoX comunity though.
"We want new stuff!"
"Here, have some new stuff!"
"This new stuff blows! I hate you!"

Where in Grandville is Barracuda hiding?

A lot of lifes gets ruined by the ignorance and stupidity of other people.

Sorry for your loss.
