Good times! -

I'd actually seen the Paragon hotel on the Googlemap just because the name was so apt for a City meet.
£36 sounds good to me. Oh and for how long are we staying on each day?
It looks alright though, leaving the other half to do as she pleases while i'm at the meet! -
Resistance is Futile
-
Dress up? Does getting out of bed and putting clothes on count?...
I shall most certainly be bringing my own laptop aswell!!
Should anyone need it, I can bring a second one but tell me before I leave. -
I was in a team earlier doing a few Vig missions in Steel canyon when one of my team mates pointed out that all the residents had disappeared...
There's plenty of people kicking about in Praetoria so what happened to all the locals?
Has anyone else noticed this? has it been mentioned before? Or am I mssing out on somthing?
Nemesis plot perhaps? -
Union as it's awesome and i'm there
But like BBQ Pork said, Try both and see whats right for you!
If you do join union make sure you sign up for Union Chat and Sals Badgehunters channels for plenty of people willing to help and advise!
But whatever server you join, join the Europe United channel. It's a new channel designed to unite all the european servers for events and such like! -
8x Fire/Rad Corrs!
or 8x Thugs/whatever (dark for me) MMs -
The servers are sooo dead! Theres's actually nobody on! Waddya mean GR? Whats that? Some sort of car?
Why are you talking about cars when my favourite game is dying? this is serious! -.- -
I get a note telling me that i've applied my slots and they are being processed. However I back out the server and re-enter and the slots are there ready to be claimed again.
Sure it'll sort it's self out soon enough! -

Trekkie though I be, I agree that the Borg have always been stupid when it came to assimilating Earth. Both times they used just one ship and came within a hair's breadth of succeeding, so why not send more than one ship and guarantee success?
Easy answer.
Like Douglas Adams once wrote: Space is big, like really big, mind bogglingly massive etc... Most of the Borg as far as we know are in the delta quadrant. Even with Transwarp drive it takes years to get from the delta quadrant to here.
If they used the transwarp conduit netwok thingy the amount of energy required to move a fleet large enough to ensure complete destruction/assimilation of the entire Federation, accross the galaxy would be astronomical.
Then taking into account the amount of species still in the Delta Quadrant yet to be asimilated and the fact that the Federation is too far away to be a real threat (Before Voyager destroyer of Borg)
Then since Voyager crippled the Transwarp network, killed the Queen and provided the Alpha Quadrant with Uber borg killing weapons, It wouldn't make logical sense to throw ships against an enemy that could destroy entire cubes with one torpedo until a defence had been developed. Not to mention they already have one of thoses type of enemies at their doorstep and after their losses to both Voyager and Species 8472 (Hate the name Udine) it makes more sense to consoldate and rebuild for now while another Queen is bred/created...
The first cube to attack the Federation was following the Enterprise and was already a long long way from Borg space before it continued onto Earth via the famous battle of Wolf 359.
The second cube was supposed to take out the Federation before it even existed.
Neither of these "attacks" were full frontal assaults. Rather a scout and a somewhat blunt attempt at a surgical(ish) strike.
If you want Full on Borg invasion though, Read the Destiny Novels. Dubbed not canon since STO took on the Post Next Generation story but still a good take on a Borg invasion.
The Borg in my view are just Logical, if a little complacent...
As for The most Stupid Aliens... Never Watched Signs, so its a toss up between the War of the Worlds Martians and Gungans... Actually come to think of it, wasn't ET a bit dim? -
Mums BACK!
WOOOOO!
Welcome back mummy!
-
Oh and if anyone knows the area can you suggest a hotel somwhere close by, preferably with a spa or somthing for her and parking for me?
Oh... and not too expensive >.>
Please. -
Damn, Read this on Facebook as we'll be able to use both US and EU servers...
So much for wishful thinking...
But yay I18 and GR!!! -

Ok, put me down for attending!
Bringing the girlfriend aswel but she's going to go shopping and visit spas and such like.
I'll be driving down from Inverness most likely early on the Saturday and staying 2 nights me thinks. Havn't booked a hotel yet but ill do that later in the week!
If Anyone is stuck and lives not too far from the A9->M73/74->M6 I cann see what I can do about a lift maybe. -
I quite like Europe United aswell and for Villains I'm thinking Unruly Europe, or European Unrest/Upset or somthing like that

Never been to a player meet before... they all seem to be so far away
But if I do come i'll bring my laptop, and perhaps 2 CoX capable laptops by then! -
Wasn't it supergirl, somwhere, somwhow at some point in time had to have an operation that involved a robot arm/machinetype thing that had a Kryptonite scalpel attached to it?
May have been JLA but not certain (Somthing to do with Cadmus making Galatea?) -
I get irregular card activity emails from the HSBC telling me my card has been stolen...
