  1. I didn't think they were doing that exclusively... just thought it was a thing for awhile, kinda like the myspace stuff.

    If it's a permanent thing though, we need everyone who's both here and twitter to sound off so we can nominate a twit to copy/paste over here.

    I'm not over there so... eh.


  2. Maybe I should PM the link for the download site to Niv...




  3. I'm holding them hos... err... the smileys are my guests right.

  4. ...

    So... the US would relatively safe since we do it month/day/year?

    And we're still here.

    Get a Dodge. Mine has a thingy that displays current fuel usage and overall usage in MPG (miles per gallon). The same thingy also shows temp (you can even change it to celsius ), how much gas is left, how many miles worth of gas is left (great for when your low and trying to figure which gas station to go to)... and I few others I don't remember cause I don't use 'em that much.

    I've been looking through the old announcements for it and I still haven't found it so I'm sorry about that. But anyway, I recall an LGBT event that occurs yearly... Pink and Somethingorother Ball...? I think?

    Anyway, sure it get's griefed, nothing worse than the Hami raids of old though. And it's a huge event. I know it was Ex Libris that posted about it before she left us for greener pastures, but damned if I can find it.

    Seems like it'd be really cool if (as in another thread) they opened the server lists to everyone so y'all could go too. Or at least, allow the global channels to cross, then y'all that'd like to could join the existing channels like 'Pride'.

    Something I forgot but just remembered. Apologies and all that. Anyway, feel free to PM the devs about stuff if y'all want. Not en masse or anything, but for the most part, they'll read and answer (if they can).

    I wasn't sure if y'all could PM them prior to our merging but figured it couldn't hurt to throw that out now that we're all in the same playground.

    Edit - Oh, another thing I forgot but just remembered!

    If you've got a chance, please peruse this thread. It's been a favorite of several NA folk for a while now and... well... if you just read the OP's posts in it you'll see why.
  10. Is it possible the filter is bugged again?

    Hrm... fist. Let's see!

    Edit - Guess not.

    Ages ago, us merikans had a poker game... I won Europe. All of it, apparently.

    They got mad at me when I kept dropping y'all on my enemies... I think that's why they gave me massive, shiney, orbital space cannons of doomity doom...

    By the way, I hope no one was hurt in the prior dropping of Europe. Except California. Them I don't mind hurtin.

  16. The only other language I know well enough to communicate in other than a couple of random phrases is sign language...

    I'm not much help here am I.
  17. Dunno if it's much help but you could get a couple of contacts and do a pic of yourself...





    One of each?



    Or one of these?

    Hope so, just jump in. It's your forum as much as ours now, right?

    To be honest i'm thinking of never posting on these boards again, it's not like I'll be missed or anything what with all these Americans stating 'welcome to OUR boards' everywhere i look.. To be honest I don't feel welcome at all as they obviously just see this forum as THEIR place (Ok, generalising, but i've seen it a lot). I miss the EU boards. This place is alien and just feels unwelcoming and plain wrong.

    Run by Americans, for Americans
    There's a thread around here somewhere where I posted links to existing threads for specific suggestions because, like you say, it's our forum now, your's, mine, his, her's, our's... So jump around and make fun of us. It's not like we'd notice too much, we make fun of ourselves frequently... it's why there's a comic section that allows almost anything.

    I haven't heard it used, ever, in over 30 years of living in Florida and Georgia.

    I think it was a common term in black & white movies before the technology of color film was invented.

    As for GM response time, it's anywhere from a few hours, to your petition being automatically closed without even an automated email... In 4+ years of playing, I've NEVER had a GM get back to me in anything less than 3 days...


    Ok, we -have- to open the server lists to both communities now.

I was wondering, maybe a thread like this would be a good idea to post ideas or messages to the developers where they are now more likely to be seen (and maybe even issues brought up get replied to sometimes like it's been done on the US forums since forever? :) [3,401 since 20th April 2007])

    It would be really cool if we got the same kind of interaction and I think we should give it a chance Maybe start up a separate costume ideas thread if it gets busy
    Let me help a little. Developers' Corner is where the official thread for suggestions to Sexy Jay is located. It's huge, but don't let that bother you too much, he keeps up reading it and sometimes even posts in it.

    There's some other threads there that are interesting as well. Jump in, y'all are here so the section isn't just US anymore, right?

    There's a couple of threads in the Base Construction section specifically for gathering ideas for the devs pertaining to bases.

    And there's a few stickied threads in Suggestions that y'all might want to add to, but before starting a new thread, prepare yourself. That section scares me almost as much as the AT specific areas.

    Once the Dev Digest and the Community Digest (in the Developers' Corner) are working again, y'all can stalk the devs just as well as the rest of us. It's fun!

    Jump in, jump around, have fun. Oh, if you really want to break your mind or spam your post count, there's always the Games section.
