My local electronic game store no longer carries CoX game time cards.
And, me and credit cards are not a good combination:
This equals when my game time expires in April...
I'm gone from CoH. It sucks, but I have almost no other recourse.
Sad, sad panda, indeed.

I cannot think of too many invertebrates that qualify as attractive to human astetics. With the exception of perhaps butterflys and Jelly fish, most of them fall under either repulsive, or too different to even form an astetic opinion of. The trick though, is distinguishing between unattractive, and threatening. While a toad may not be attractive, it isn't threatening. Conversly, while a Jaguar may be quite attactive, I'll just stay in the car for now, okay?

Ironically, the car he's hiding in is also a Jaguar.

The last few times I've been on and checked out the supergroup window, I've spotted a couple of toons who have been members of the Legendary for a while but apparently have never run in SG mode, because they have earned exactly 0 prestige for the group. And I'm not talking about people who're close to the 120-day limit -- I'm talking folks who have frequently been on within the last day or two each time I've checked.
I'd really appreciate it if, when you check the SG display and see that one of these people is logged in at the same time as you, if you would send them a /t and urge them into SG mode. I don't care if they run part-time or full-time, as long as they throw a little prestige into the pot -- otherwise they're making use of the base and the equipment there without giving anything back. Anyone who persists in staying out of SG mode will be kicked. And you can warn them of that, too.
Thanks.

Shizuru, Lora'Lai -- I'd like to get together with you and discuss a new round of promotions. If you check out the membership roster thread, you'll note that our upper ranks have thinned out quite a bit from attrition, and we have a huge number of folks in the lowest rank. I think we need to evaluate folks for promotion and build up our cadre a little.

Bob,
If I provide the archives (.zip, .rar, .7z?) will you up them to the website for easy one-click downloads? I was just looking at DW II, and as lazy as it sounds, I didn't wanna download all those individually again, so I figure it makes perfect sense to volunteer to be the 'archivist'.

As has become typical in early March in the last few years (those who know me well will know why), I'm in a bit of a funk, and not much use for writing
anything remotely upbeat. (Edit: Which means my collabaration with Griever is still just sitting
there - sorry, Griever.) But I've got an idea for a maudlin Fenspace story. Thing is, it's set much later than any story yet told. Not by a year or
two, either - it's about two centuries down the timeline...

I'll probably write it anyway just to get it out of my system. (Heck, I've already got the first line down: "If I'm lucky, this will be my
last transmission."). But "writing" isn't "posting". Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I posted it once it's done?

About six months ago, I changed things here so that you had to register to post, because of a flood of spam posts that hit us. Well, it being half a year, I'm willing to take the risk and open us up again. If we get hit with spam posts once more, I'll go back to registered-only permanently, mind you, but for the moment at least I want to try to get back to the slightly more freewheeling environment we had at this time last year.

I just recieved a package shipped via Federal Express.
As I was paying the driver he had to borrow a pocket knife.
In the following discussion I learned that Federal Express drivers are not allowed to carry anything with which it is possible to defend themselves.
What do you think of this?
Anyone a Federal Express driver?

This is technically not a work in progress. I've unofficially shelved this while I finish...other things. I'll probably get back to it at some point, though. I'm just not certain when that point is. Eventually.
However, I've had this stuff sitting idle for a couple months. So I figure I might as well share. It's an origin story for the Island and its crew, and a bit of a writing experiment. Think heist or caper movie, based mostly around dialogue. I was trying for a quick, breezy style...dunno if it works, but...

Does it still count as fanfic if it's film, rather than text? Oh, who cares!

It's almost like the B5/ST aspects of UF, just... parodied. Wildly. They squeeze in a reference to every Trek series and movie ever made.
Oh, and everybody dies. But in funny ways.
The space-battle animations are actually Really Darn Good, considering the the source. And... is it just me, or is their Ivanova a *perfect* dead ringer (persona-wise, not appearance-wise) for the Real Deal?
