Apologies if I am slow to respond this weekend. 10 year highschool reuninon so i am out of town. Will get better answers for people on sunday or Monday.

We're down two players anyhow so its not a major deal. Take your time and have fun.

[BigJKU316]

Back in town.

If people could get turns in tomorrow I will get them turned around ASAP.

Done and in.

So....did they still think you were a nerd? For some strange reason, the people I still know from high school love that about me

Really it was kind of funny. My group of friends were not the pure nerds (most of us played sports at the school of various sorts but did avoid the heavy drinking and drug use of the more meat-headed contingent) but we all took college classes and worked fairly hard. Among the 8 or 9 of us that showed up we had two pharamacist, three doctorates, five masters degrees, a bank vice-president, a nurse-practicioner and a professional comedian who was fresh from a tryout for SNL when he arrived.

There were a surpising number of people who really wanted to relive high-school and showed up in letter jackets and other such things. Facebook is a wonderful tool because you just knew they had been laid off from their job bolting aluminum sheets onto aircraft wings or something like that.

Did run into an ex-GF whom I had an on and off thing with going for years (waste of time to have HS relationships btw) and that carried on into college before I finally told her to just not talk to me anymore (she became a drug addicted ultra-leftist wacko) and found out she found had found gainful employment as a maker of fine coffey drinks in our hometown. Had to stiffle a laugh at that one.

After having searched rather a lot to find the image of a ship that better suited what I'd prefer my vessels to look like, I've found a rather well known example of ships. Basically, I'd invisage my fleet to look a lot like the vessels of the Covenant Navy from halo. I picked the anonymous Nihydron thing because...well it was a pull-engine ship, not because it suited my view of it. But the Covenant fleet looks pretty much how I'd like my vessels.

Sorry for changing things again, i know its hardly relevent but still.




You'll have my turn fairly soon Big.

[Deepcrush]

Hey, its your fleet man so do what you want with it. Thats the whole point.

[Mark]

I object. Why does he get cool looking ships, when mine look like flying guitars, Tsuki's look like can openers, and Deeps look the same as those from 200 years ago!


Just kidding LOL

[Reliant121]

I object to your objection.

Cardie ships look like flying spades, not guitars.



I kid, each of those three have good qualities. Cardassian ships have beauty in their utilitarian logic, the Breen have beauty in their truly alien looks and the Klingon ships just look bad ass.

[Deepcrush]

While the basic layout of my ships remains the same. Their overall design has changed greatly over the years. The only reason any of them look like the ones from two hundred years ago is because they were built two hundred years ago.

Of course you're just mad because my ships work.

[Sonic Glitch]

Big, at this rate just advance everything for one year for me. Once i'm back from vacation i'll revamp things for next turn

[Deepcrush]

I think this turn mostly just counts as a free turn for everyone. We don't have to argue every year IMO.

[Tsukiyumi]

...We don't have to argue every year IMO.

I disagree!

[Deepcrush]

In other news... the KE has declared war on the BC for the hell of it.
