Yep, I'm out of fuel. No more flaming, no more posting, I'm outta gas. It's been fun guys. A red H ran, I know you'll miss me. Lack, I know you will be fighting to hold back those tears. But tough it out you guys, I may not be gone forever, then again, I may be gone forever. It depends whether or not gas prices drop.

A red H ran, I give you my old (or was it yours to begin with ) Mk 3 asbestos suit. It wasn't used much, since I believe on agressive defense, nobody really had a chance to flame me.
Oldwarrior, I give you my flamethrower. All you have to do is point and pull back on the trigger. You should be able to master this one.
Nell, I give you ten bucks for rave CD when I get money.
Yin26, thanks for showing people that it is funny to piss people off.
Singularity, thanks for showing people its annoying to piss people off.
Lack, thanks for letting me use up the rest of my fuel on you, it was greatly appreciated.
Goob, Darkstar... thanx for actually having an open mind about things (the shoot reagan thread), its nice to know that not everybody is ignorant. Imran and his hired hitmen await me now due to that comment.

Yeah, I almost died in a tragic forum crash a few weeks back, too, but just like in a cheesy soap-opera plot, I survived (of course, my face was torn off in the crash, but that's old news). Come to think of it, I haven't pissed anybody off lately:

Trippin. I hate to say this, but nobody gives a damn if you leave. You were never welcomed in the first place. You intruded on us and now you want us to feel some kind of grief when you leave? Are you really that pathetic? Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, O.K. good buddy?

[If that doesn't get the heartbeat going again, we'll really know he's dead. ]

Quick, get out the nitrous oxide tanks! The only way to save him now is send him on the trip of his life! No those are the propane tanks. Put them back. Don't light that cigar! BOOOOOOOOOM!

Thanks trip, so I told you how I set myself on fire once and you just want a good laugh and see me do it again. Seriously it was good to know you but you will be back . They never stray far from home. Take care.

Tripping, what, your new prescription for the migraines is that good that you can't flame anymore? Wow. Serious medication.

Hope you pop back by before we get burnt out on whining about how Firaxis is once again ignoring us, the (Ig)Noble Consumer by not fixing SMAC in enhancement 4 and now we have to wait for SMAC X, the SMAC of a new generation of suckers, to see any hope of any fixes. Maybe that will get you flaming us again.

*****Warning******
Reposted from the Non-SMAC Related forum.

SMAC Addiction, Type 6: Forum Compulsion Syndrome (SMACA-6: FCS). This highly contagious syndrome affects nearly 100% of people who visit the SMAC BB. Early phases of the FCS may manifest itself as reading but not posting (the lurking phase). This phase has a variable duration but eventually the victim will become a poster (the second phase of the syndrome). However, there are many documented cases where an individual will develop full-blown phase 2 the moment visit the site. Phase 3 of FCS involves the breakdown of resistence systems as the victim spends more and more time in the fora posting more and more frequently. Eventually, as the victim loses their friends, job, and health, Phase 4, the Collapse kicks in. The poster, due to mental and physical constraints, severely cuts down or totally abandons posting. This is only a temporary/transitional period until the casualty starts with Phase 1 or 2 again.

Good luck. I can recommend some fine therapists if you feel you need some help.
Sincerely,

Come back when you have refilled your tanks, or even before (you don't really need to flame someone in each post, you know )

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I said I wouldn't be back. Ok, I'm full of ****. But like Yin said, nobody gives a **** about me. I don't have a full tank, but I have enough to complete my goals. Somebody pissed me off about a comment on newbies (could that be Victor), so now I'm out to give the newbies some revenge. Ok, so tfs did a pretty damn good job at it already, so why does he need to be flamed again? Because he is a ****ing moron. Simple enough. So my methods may be harsh, so what. He made a stupid comment, and he still hasn't apologized for it. He blames everything on newbies. Well since he considered tfs a newbie, I am pretty damn sure he will consider me one. I'm just going to give him something to whine about.

You can download Impossible Mission (and some C64 emulator as well) on http://www.c64.com.

On the note of Impossible Mission (wasn't it Mission Impossible?). Has anyone here played Diablo and listened to the guy in the town centre ... he says "Stay a while ... and listen" and you wonder if one time he's gonna say "... stay forever" 'cause it's the _same_ voice.

Just a little note on the Diablo game.... You might also listen to the blacksmith's voice .....kinda sounds like Scotty from the original star trek . "What can I do for ya.....captain"(I know he doesnt say captain but it seems like he should.)

Hey, thanks for the welcome back sandworm. Although I do have to flame you now for turning my thread into a C64 thread. just joking, i won't do that that would be wrong. Anyhow, I need to find A red H ran, I can flame him.

December Man,

I missed you, if nobody else did. There was never anyone could throw a thread off-topic faster than yourself. What with all that breathless, panting bantering about Corazon. You missed the resurrection of Yin in his new persona as Brian Reynolds' gopher toady and a lot of my bad poetry. A forum crash (Multiplayer) funked up my previous user name's password. So, I had to resurrect myself, as well. Welcome back into the fold.

He had asked me how I was succesful in quitting mj, and I told him one of the biggest helps was relocating to a different state. Wonder if he is busy relocating now? I told him that it wasnt much of an answer he could use. Wait till I give my advice to someone on how to quit cigs. So far...9 days for me and no cravings or problems whatsoever.

Thanks DS... you know how I did it...I got pneumonia. That scare in my chest was enough to let me see the light. Anytime I think about a butt...I just remember June14@8:30pm..thinking I was having a heart attack and having my wife come get me at work and rush me to the emergency room.That will scare you into reality. Good way to quit huh?...just get sick. BTW... heart is fine ....lungs are screwed for now but getting better.

True though... I wonder whatever has become of the King of the Flamethrowers? Where has he gone? Fallen through a dimensional gate, perhaps, like so many of my Scout Patrols?

Hey guys, I'm here. I had to go off to college for orientation day... funny thing though.. I missed, well actually skipped and umm got medicated most of the orientation. Then the bastards, since I came in after 1 in the morning (I came in around 6 ), I got the honor of scheduling last, but since I'm in honors courses, I got to schedule first anyhow.

You gonna desert the ravers' cause and become... omigod... a LAWYER?!?! The mind boggles... actually it doesn't, seeing as my boyf is a raver par extraordinaire and also a very successful criminal barrister... it can be done, but you have to remember whether you're talking to a posh client or a fellow party animal.. hehe
And don't forget to take your flamegun to court with you... some of those judges can be even more hassley to deal with than Yang on a bad day!!

Nell, et al - Tulane University law has had one of the most effective poverty and civil rights law centers in the entire US. So effective that the offended powers that be have used the state bar and the legislature to restrict the range of clients that they can represent, unless that's been reversed very recently.

So if tripp goes there to be another ragin' cajun lawyer for the rest of us, more power to him. If he's gonna go there to be another millionaire lawyer for rich white boys, then I hope his flamethrower gets lost in a bayou somewhere.

MtG - Then I guess you will be wanting me to keep my flamer then, because I'm not gonna become some rich pig lawyer. I'm want to go to Tulane because of their excellent civil rights law center. My friends dad is a fairly prominent Republican and he hates Tulane with a vengence just because of that fact (shows you how the republicans really feel ).

Michael:
Sounds as if the legal system in the US works rather differently from over here... here, barristers don't get a choice of which clients they represent... if you're free and a case comes in, you *have* to take it, provided that your fee is covered (which, given our Legal Aid system, it usually is). It's called the "cab rank" rule and is intended to ensure that good barristers can't pick and choose their clients. Solicitors, who are gaining some rights in court these days, *can* pick and choose, but that's under review. Seeing as it's the barrister who actually speaks for the client in court, that's not so much of an issue.
Hey ho... vive la difference!
Nell
PS: Trip... I was only kidding... I can't see you becoming a fascist millionnaire lawyer who goes around oppressing the masses, somehow
