LivingHellfire

I registered as VIP for a month, to see how it goes.

One of the things that I really wanted to do before I stopped playing a while ago was to become an incarnate with Liv, and it never happened.

Well, that's my goal now, now that it's possible. I'll be playing as much as I can, however I'm looking for anyone who's on and sees me on, drop me a line and I'll be willing to join any incarnate trial on the go, time permitting.

Cheers, folks... it's nice to see the old familiar faces, and just as nice to see some new ones.

I'm not sure I canput up an avatar, but the awesomeface will return if I'm able.

It's cool that the Sat mats are still running, i was pleased when i saw that. Glad to be back. I'm gonna play for a little while and see how it goes and I might even resub if. I've been playing eve online for the last few tars, so its nice to come back to a much more casual friendly place., especially with so many friendly faces

I used to play this a long time ago.

I played largely on Justice and posted in the Justice forums as well as general discussion, blasters, suggestions and sundry.

I'm back and trying to get in touch with some of the folks that I played with a number of years ago.

The Legendary Living Hellfire flies again!

I'm not a fan of these new ones either... But at the same time I have to recognized that it's likely due to how attached I was to the old ones. I "knew" them, if you know what I mean.

Weird... I wonder where my posts went. It's not like I said anything bad, or anything. I wonder why they would've been pruned.

Darkbridger is the best SatMat leader ever.

I'm fine now... I don't think I want that much milk a day anyway. Half a litre a day is more than enough milk for a full grown adult male.

I'm assuming it's because of lactose intolerance?

When I was 19 I went away to school. I had no money, and what little money I had I spent on booze and drugs. Obviously, I flunked out of school.

However, before I left and while I was still living at home I used to drink over a litre of milk a day. I just loved it, especially when it's nice and cold... I still love it. Anyway, when I was at school I never drank it, no money, right? So, after 8 months of literally no milk, when I returned home I had the WORST lactose intolerance even after having just an 8 ounce glass of the stuff.

Now I'm 33, and I can have a glass of milk or two, but much more than half a litre and I still have "issues" (and by "issues" I mean violent diarrhea).

Try a regimen of probiotic yoghurt for a month and see if it helps.

Why do you not just hang up after you tell them who you are? or are you not allowed to hang up? As in "sorry ma'am you have dialed a wrong number you have called Flight operations have a nice day". *click*

[/ QUOTE ]

And if I did so, would I be able to come here and rant for the amusement of all?

I think not!

[ QUOTE ]
Not just males, although it takes longer to sort out.

After all, one's brain is still forming/developing until well into the 20's, which is what makes drugs or alcohol even more damaging to a teenager than to an adult.

[/ QUOTE ]

By 19 most girls have moved past it because they tend to start earlier and finish earlier than males. 19-year old boys are comparable to 16-year old girls. The difference is that they simply manifest differently, but the degree of immaturity is very similar.

That's also why I'm glad that most of my "extra-curricular activities" tended to manifest after I was 24 or so. I tend to be a bad boy sometimes when it comes to those issues...

Except more of the elderly people than teen-aged boys woud probably have a valid physiological reason for not hearing you clearly. Plus, when there's money involved, especially if it's the only income, I think people are already so on-edge that it doesn't take much to push them over. Mess with my rent or food money and I'll have my cranky pants on, too.

[/ QUOTE ]

A strong argument can be made that the huge amount of hormones running around a 19 year old male's brain like their pants are on fire is in fact a valid physiological reason. One recent study has likened the hormonal influx during the teenage years to cocaine addiction.

God knows at 19 I wasn't fit to be let out of a house or near a means of communication. Or popcorn for that matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

You beat me to it.

I've seen a number of documentaries that really illustrate the reality that the human brain in the late teens (especially males) is a hot mess of cross-wired behaviour and input.

I bet Hellfire would flip if i called and tried to order a pizza.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually...

There's a pizza place somewhere in Alberta or somethign that has a 1800 number similar to ours as well, so we get the odd call from their customers as well, but they're very, very rare.

But those people are alright, they at least pay attention to my phone greeting and realize right away they misdialed. I have no problem with that. It's the stubborn old goats who want to argue with me, as though by simply insisting that they're right that they can somehow alter reality.

Huh... that description is oddly reminiscent of 19-year old boys, as well, now that I think about it.

Flight Operatio-HEY!

*nods*

I agree completely.




Just out of curiousity what exactly was that number to your workplace again? I'm only asking so I can make sure my own grandmother never calls you accidently. Technically she's not Canadian but it sounds to me like the absolute last thing you need at this point is yet another old codger calling you up who isn't even Canadian to begin with. So just to be safe PM me that number and I'll save you the headache.

In the words of Alan Shore's grandmother...

"This smells funny... and I'm not going to eat it."

What the hell is it with old people?!

Do they think that because they're old they have a [censored] license to be rude or something?!

At work we have a 1-800 number that's literally one digit off from the old-age pension division of Human Resources Canada. So, at the middle/end of every month we get these old, [censored] codgers calling up (usually women, I'm not sure why) wanting to talk about their pension.

I always answer the phone the same way... "Flight Operations, [last name]" and what happens... ? "Yah, I recieved a letter in the mail, I haven't gotten my pension cheque... bla-bla"

WHAT PART OF "FLIGHT OPERATIONS" INDICATES TO YOU THAT I HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH YOUR [censored] PENSION?! [u]LISTEN WITH YOUR [/i]EARS!!!![/i][u]

Then, as if that's not enough, once I make it clear to them, usually by having to say it five times that this is TRANSPORT CANADA, and not HUMAN RESOURCES CANADA (it's not even the same number of syllables for [censored] sake!!!), they then proceed to argue with me about what phone number they dialed!

If I'm lucky, they'll just hang up. No goodbye... nope, no "oops, sorry about that", nope. Just "Oh- *click*" as if it's my fault, as if somehow I've inconvenienced them.

That's if I'm lucky...

If I'm not lucky I then have to have a 15-minute conversation with some 70-year old French-Canadian woman who sounds very much like she was rode hard and put away wet about how it's MY fault that she misdialed and answer a survey about what number SHE dialed, what number she was supposed to dial, what MY phone number is and who the hell I am.

I had one old [censored] actually ask for my supervisor because he thought I was giving him the run-around. So convinced was he in his own infallibility that it never occured to him that he dialed the WRONG [censored] NUMBER!

I swear to dog, I'm going to surround myself with honest people and if I ever get to that point where I'm a rude, self-entitled old jerk that they'll just put a bullet in my head and bury me in a shallow grave somewhere, as befitting people who are [censored].

This'll be another of those cases where they release something highly exploitable, then when it's exploited there'll be wailing and gnashing over at Paragon Studios, bemoaning what evil people their subscribers are. Shortly thereafter there'll be another Sermon from the Mount about how we're to play the game, thereon the heels of which will be bannings and suspensions of players who did nothing more than play the game within the confines of the implementation.

Players will enter missions, kill bad guys to get experience and influence, and they'll be disciplined for doing so.

I'm jaded and cynical, but at the same time it's nothing I haven't actually witnessed.

Well, I get woken up around noon today, my mom at work had found a offer of someone selling Lab puppies, and as soon as she heard where it was, she headed home from work, woke me up, and off we went with a friend of hers. The name of the town where the puppies were? Liberty, NY. If you recall, my dog's name was Liberty. So if thats not the Universe lining up for you to show the way, I don't know WTF is. Here's a picture of our New Happee, Belle:

Sorry, dude, I had to flag that picture as innapropriate due to overwhelming squishy cuteness.

As long as it annoys a red-name, I'm happy.

We spend enough time being annoyed by stupid, lazy implementation that it's about time, as far as I'm concerned, to suggest that perhaps a little turn-around is fair play.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure you realize "a little turn-around" would do nothing to improve the situation. It would probably just lead to thread deletions and possibly bans on forum accounts.

So, probably not a good idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

It wasn't actually a serious suggestion... The only way it would work is if it included every single poster who visits the forums and their total compliance with what would amount to a mini-revolt. Never happen. I kinda thought that was relatively self-evident...

I see mod8 has already gotten to this thread

stupid, lazy implementation

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously not a software developer. Always annoys me when people assume that any and every bug is due to stupidity/laziness.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting.... I don't recall claiming that "any and every bug" is due to stupidity and/or laziness. As a matter of fact, I never claimed that the developers were stupid, only that some implementation is. At the same time, I won't do you the discredit of claiming that you're saying that there are never any bugs caused by stupidity or laziness.

As long as it annoys a red-name, I'm happy.

We spend enough time being annoyed by stupid, lazy implementation that it's about time, as far as I'm concerned, to suggest that perhaps a little turn-around is fair play.

We should organize all the posters on the forum and create a kind of group protest whereby we all start every single one of our posts with;

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wwwwaaaaaaaaasssssssssss
ssssssssdddddddddddsssssss

Maybe it'll annoy them all enough to actually do something about it.
