The new created organization GRABS has confiscated all the Canadian Bacon shipments in the Galaxy, due to the lack of cooperation from the undead, they will nt have more bacon until they accept my demands.

Without bacon the undean start to decompose.

A new Galactic organization of pirates, bacon lovers and other gentlemen have been created and it is called GRABS, so here we are declaring a total blockade and confiscation of any shipment of Canadian Bacon that is being send out of the Undead empire, any of these shipments located in the FOTR Space will be confiscated. So do not intervene when the GRABS Special Forces intercept the freighters, we only give one warning.

A nice joke to cool the effects of the Bacon embargo

Cars and Computers

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating (by Mr Welch himself):

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size derriere.

9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.

10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

12. Everytime GM introduced a new model car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine.

It's nice to laugh after having my butt kicked by altarians this week end in may first maso attempt.

                        
#637  by Citizen Nastavnik - 2/23/2004 2:27:41 PM

Maybe it was because I tried to skip a level: I just managed to submit a crippling medium,, with alliance victory (but I intend to continue till the military victory: there is too bad blood between me and altarians for that alliance to last at all...

Masochistic medium-size maps are painfully difficult. I can win them, but not every time. You'll have a better chance if you either go for a smaller map where you can rush-conquer others, or a bigger map where you'll have more breathing room.

the pretty ones came in the other cargo with the label Toxic Waste!!!

You might have said that earlier. We dumped those in a black hole.

No worries they were insured, another shipment with the pink label on its way, those are the ones you really wants (Altarians beauties)

Just a reminder, the polls are still open in The Senate Halls for a name for our alliance in the Clone Wars. Check it out!

Thanks!

Yes, I'll try that. Already, going back to crippling helped a lot. I wanted to give another try at the lost maso, but since I had updated the game to get the new 1.2 a few strange things happened, as disapearing improvements in more than half the planets. That wasn't a problem to transform the alliance vic in military vic for the crippling game, but for the maso, in such a bed situation already, if I had to rebuild all social improvements, it would mean another unavoidable defeat. And one per week end is all I can take...
I'll start a new cripling tonight, if not too much work to do. But there are definetelly not enough events for me to reach pure good So every game I play, I actually make my all wwhite smiley harder to get .

                        
#647  by Citizen Matthew Downie - 2/24/2004 5:53:36 AM

You're not even close to a white smiley. Your morality is 1.79.
http://idle.thehueys.com/midwest/statbot/statbotover.php?Name=Nastavnik Link
Mine's closer, at 1.42, but even though I have a morality of over 95 every game I submit it goes down at such a slow rate that I don't know if I'll ever get there. I wonder if I could get them to delete my one evil game from my record?

Yeah i know. Since you're at 1.42 and still no little white face, I must really be far away. I calculated that if the breaking point was 1.5, I would be 11 pure good games away. But if it is rather 1.2 then it becomes an impossible 56 pure good games away.
Suddenly I understnd why Terl told me he gave up trying to reach that!

                        
#649  by Citizen Matthew Downie - 2/24/2004 6:54:37 AM

I'm going to start writing my own morality events. There's too many where if you click the good option, you only get 1 point of goodness. I'm perfectly willing to suffer 40% morale penalties on my worlds, I just hardly ever get the chance.
