How am I a Newb?
« on: January 13, 2018, 06:28:38 PM »
That's what the sidebar says I am.  283 posts, a member for 1 year, and I practically own the AAR subforum... how does that make me a Newb?  I might be relative to some long timer, but in absolute terms, no way.  I think the categorization algorithm could use a little tweaking.

I realized I don't need 2 things that sound like a rank or title, so I'm not charming anymore.

I'd like to think of a more clever way to make the 2nd reference than using the word "tanks" again.  That said, "Into the tanks!" is my favorite phrase ever, related to SMAC.  And I don't mean the kind you drive on a battlefield.  I originally thought of being "Emperor of Paste" but that didn't quite seem right.  "Emperor of Soylent Green" introduces a completely different fiction, not right either.

Well it would cost me 500 to change to "Emperor of Goo", and I think "Emperor of the Tanks" is better anyways.  It doesn't cost me anything to change the "Into the tanks!" line so I'll wait until I have a better inspiration about it.

* Random quote

The entire character of a base and its inhabitants can be absorbed in a quick trip to the Rec Commons. The sweaty arenas of Fort Legion, the glittering gambling halls of Morgan Bank, the sunny lovers' trysts in Gaia's High Garden, or the somber reading rooms of U.N. Headquarters. Even the feeding bay at the Hive gives stark insight into the sleeping demons of Yang's communal utopia.
~Commissioner Pravin Lal 'A Social History of Planet'
