I've gotten hooked into the tournament playing ciruit (wargames: Flames of War) since the beginning of the year. Placed deadlast in the first one. Placed
second in my second tournament. Qualified for the Nationals in July. So now, I'm on essentially on the circuit playing in nearby tournaments, as well as
playing the local LGS. Met another crazy bunch of guys. So if you guys don't see me as much, you'll now.

Hey, just a reminder, someone's gotta pay the light bill, and none of my alts are Fable or above (the required minimum rank to pay the bills). It's
claiming it was due today at 7:49pm...

If you think of Tom Riddle as Serpentor/ Cobra Commander's analogue and the Deatheaters as Cobra, this song might work. How big an effect? How much mana
Doug puts in.

Subject: LF someone to give me combat training
Date Posted: November 13th, 2013

Hello! I'm a brand-new AI - I've only been awake for three days! - in a brand-new body, and the person who woke me up says I need to learn a few things. (No, not *those* things. Ecchi!)

One of the things I knew how to do when I woke up was use a knife in ranged combat. (When I *can* fight. In the tests I went through yesterday, sometimes I was too afraid to move, much less fight.) But my boss says he wants me to learn to use a knife in hand-to-hand combat, too. I don't know if I want to - that would get blood on my blouse or skirt - but he said I should have the skill just in case.

Can anybody tell me where to find a good knife-fighting teacher? I like butterfly knives, if it makes a difference.

Just a teaser.. That's 'Yemaya'
"No can brain today. Want cheezeburger."
From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman

My computer is running Windows XP. It has a high speed internet connection, and a second computer in my home is connected to the internet through a wireless
connection to the box that is hooked up to my computer. The last time I used Windows Update on the other computer, the connection was lost. To reconnect to the
internet from that computer, I must type in the "Network Key". I cannot find the piece of paper with the network information that the guy who
installed my connection gave me. Would the Network Key be saved anywhere on my main computer, since it is the one with the actual physical connection? If so,
where would I find it? I've spent two hours searching for it through every likely looking icon on my Control Pannel.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

In recent news, Uwe Boll has said that if one million people say he should stop making movies, he will.

Now, he probably won't do what he says he'll do, considering his track record, but any chance to prevent more horrible video game movies is a good
thing.

It's at just over 100,000 signatures as I write this, up from the 80,000 range it was at last night.

So it has recently come to my attention that I've been going about slotting my Emp/Rad defender, Emerald Blast, *completely* @#4!@#$ wrong. Why? Two
words: Enhancement Diversificawhatzimination. ED.

I'd like a little bit of advice, pretty please. She's geared towards MASSIVE HEALS. That's her primary function, her entire concept (such as it
is), and so on. The only reason I took Rad as a secondary for her is because it 'fit' a bit better than some others and, let's face it, solo
action sucks if you're light in the 'punch' department. Plus, Mr. Whiskers likes the green glowy stuff.

Anyway.

So the deal is, I've got six slots on each of my primary heal abilities -- Healing Aura and Heal Other. I'd *like* to crack 300 per zot with Heal
Other, and crack 200 if possible with Healing Aura; currently I'm turning in a consistent 247 with HO, I think it is. Yesterday I slotted a couple more
heal enhancments, expecting some bang for my 40000-per-SO-enhancement inf. It was 240 or thereabouts before the slots. Bwah? I was stonkered until I came
across a mention of ED and the light dawned. Doh.

Can someone give me a crash-course in how to handle ED? Do invention enhancements apply towards it? How about SO vs DO vs Training? Cheese doodles or french
fries? That sort of thing.

Also: is there a way to cut down the 'cast' time of these abilities? I know about recharge rate reduction (got at least 1 of those in each), which is
cool, but HO especially takes enough time to hit that, often, an ally has dropped before I've finished applying it. I want to get it as close to instant
as possible.
