Question For Farmers

Despite being as urban as you, although not on the east coast, I've been to farms and to the odd Kibbutz, so farming isn't such a foreign affair for me. There's an odd sense of pleasure when you're tired after a long day of farming, as you look at all the nice crops — and drops — you've grown and harvested...

The best part is, if we can define words however we want, we can never, ever be wrong about anything, ever! Want to prove X = Y? Broaden the definitions of X and Y until they prove our point! W00t!

Hooray for muddying the waters!

2 - 6 CoH years. If I remember my calculations correctly our CoH toons experience one day for every hour we experience, based on a full day/night cycle.

Assuming that and based on one year our time = 8760 hours then our toons experience 24 years for every one year we live through. This means my 6 year old toon is actually 144 CoH years old. That is not only old enough to work on a farm, but he should be sitting on the front porch with a shotgun and a straw in his mouth talking about back in the day when the dust would swirl up and cover Atlas park while lowbies had to go to Perez Park as part of their training.


(Math may be slight wrong, very wrong, or made up. Pie is real)

True, but thanks to Mender Silos we have the ability to go back in time and become our own grandfather. Thereby allowing several versions of us to exist in the same timespace. Being that only a single version can exist in any given timespace this is corrected by micro-paradoxes in our personal timelines, allowing us to maintain the same relative age to our reallife counterparts even in the face of hundreds of years.


Plus...My main is a Cyborg. Cyborg=Magic so I c'n live 4eva!!!11!1!1ONE!11!1



You buying any of this??

Actually no... he'd be mostly dead, you of all people should know!!

Keep in mind... some people enjoy creating and implementing plans. That rich guy may be doing what he wants to do, too. Applied to the game... some people enjoy figuring out how to maximize the xp/influence earning rate.

The OP is not just the fisherman.... he's the rich guy because he asked "why" instead of minding his own buisness.

That reminds me of my buddy's family from NYC that came to stay at his family's house one summer in Elkton, Maryland.

He had some friends over for some weekend slacking and beer while they were there.

The kids were like, maybe...6 and 10.

So, anyway, we are shooting darts, drinking some brews..and it starts getting towards dark. The time when the Fireflies come out and start their little lightshow.

I darn near lost my shiite when I heard the older brother say in a VERY distinct NY/Brooklyn accent, "What da f*** is that? Yo! Come here and look! (to his sister) Those bugs a**** are glowing! How do dey do that? Dats f****** CRAZY!"

He and his sister just went bonkers over them. We got him a jar with some holes in it and sent him home with some.

I NEVER heard a young kid curse so prolifically before or after that. He will make a fine sailor one day :P

The story I posted doesn't go against making plans and having fun working hard to implement them. The lesson of the story is mainly "Plan for yourself and let others plan for themselves".

I can't tell you anything about the Original Poster because I don't really know him. What I do know, is that for most people, we're sometimes the farmer, and sometimes the rich guy... it just depends on when you catch us, and like you've noticed we may have caught PK at a "bad" time.

I always loved Eggplants, sadly, the wife's allergic! oh well, more for me!

Erm, you think? Because I think the lesson of the story was actually "do what you love and then you'll truly be rich". The story was painting the poor fisherman as the "truly wealthy" man because he was doing exactly what he wanted and had a great quality of life, while the "rich" man was actually poor because all he valued was money.

That's the advanced lesson that can only be understood by those who have already learned the first simpler lesson.

Besides, if there's anything I've learned about people, it is that if you point to them that what they think they want isn't really what they need, they tend to get pissed off at you, especially if you're right
