As Jake attempts to look like his favorite mudder of all time:

Especially when there's no penalty for default.

Face the facts, you're a union member, you're going to be treated as such. If you don't like it, don't be in a union or make changes so you can be proud of what you "stand for".

Unions are an out-dated model, it's why they are going away.

Corth what are you, 90? Who uses the word "bawdy" anyhow.

Can anyone explain the deflation process in a way that I, as someone who could care less _usually_ about financial/economic problems, would understand?

I was under the false assumption that inflation, like taxes, was inevitable. Deflation seems like a foreign concept...

Ever heard of Heisenberg? He had something relevant to say about your so-called "test".

I don't see any problem with how free market forces are working... If they approved every single warranty claim, prices would go up as they replaced TVs for morons who dropped them. I do have a problem with the particular idiots that handled my case and you can be sure I will be thinking 2x next ti...

The Toyota manufacturing method has been adopted by several big name companies for a reason. Is it any wonder they can mop the floor with stupid American companies? Most of the savings come from logistics, which is quickly becoming one of the highest expenditures for most businesses these days as th...

On extremely rare occasions I have dreamed of a particular single "frame" of sight that I can recall upon seeing that sight as if it were deja vu. Believe it or not, it doesn't change the fact that it's real enough to me to entice me to believe that there's a possibility of time being a st...

Burn-in is technically possible, but more than likely won't happen.

Global demand for automotive gas is way down, thanks in part to the global economic downturn. We should be so fortunate to have the world economy 'collapse' every once in a while. (oh no, great depression, just like Iraq was Vietnam, and Obama's going to change everythi-stop exaggerating.) Sarvis W...

My band-aid suggestion, at this point, is to increase the power of the players... I would also think that the smaller group sizes would bring competition back between guilds. It would allow for small groups to zone together regularly and form a group identity. That is something the mud sorely needs...

Tasan

That's my line you camel-jockey.

Get out of my thread.

That's not an accurate statement, Gene. It said that 91% never received any monetary help, via family, in starting their business. I love how it says they live well below their means at 80-100k per year. Obviously, if you are building worth, you don't SPEND every dime you get. Everyone who passed 6t...

Match.com is the best, duh.

None of those factors were influences in my situation, nor Ashiwi's, nor Tasan's... How about this: Do you believe that people who are poor due to substance abuse, teen pregnancy, or dropping out of school are a majority or minority of people who fall into the bottom 20% income bracket? There are o...

I say we take 700 billion to Vegas and bet it all on black.

At least then we could have gotten something back.

Anyone in here ever actually been poor? Man.. if I wanted your life story I would have asked for it, sheesh. Oh oops, I did. I like that story, can you tell another one? I've been "poor" my entire life. I went to rich kids school because my parents worked their asses off their entire life...

Tasan

What is with you and your "holier than thou" attitude? Seriously, how about you drop it and take things with a grain of salt. I want the system cleaned up, not eliminated entirely. There's quite a large difference. Get off your own soap box. Also, Gormal's from Oregon, so we all know what ...

This guy bought a compewter instead of food for his kitty. It sickens me :(

Tasan

Yeah, real tough to feel sorry for someone that blew their settlement money in half a year and now wants us to pity them.

Oh woe is you indeed.

Tasan

I didn't say you misread it, I said you saw what you chose to see. As you and anyone else is wont to do. My "bitching" is the same as everyone else.... unmitigated ranting against that which I can do nothing about. I'm not sure what the point of continuing this line of discussion is, but I...

Tasan

See, the thing is I'm 100% with you on this part. In your first post you mentioned nothing at all about people defrauding the system, so it's hard for me to avoid thinking you're just engaging in revision to not sound like an asshole. Of course, you then had to insult me so that parts still pretty ...

More attractive? What the fuck are you smoking, man? You should share. Really. Because I don't think I've ever seen anyone living in a house with a leaky roof, eating the crappiest quality food, depending on a government check to keep the house heated, and unable to even afford basic medical care w...

I think Nonox's Paradigm would be a much more suitable title.

Think about all the construction worker jokes, 1 guy to dig a hole and 5 guys standing around supervising. $13-18 an hour to hold up a sign that says "slow". $20+ an hour to be a general laborer ect ect ect... I can see the need for more work on our roads and bridges, but it should be don...

Tasan

All I have to say is, what in the fuck happened to personal responsibility... oh right, the government and bleeding hearts have made it obsolete by making the alternative much more attractive. Why pay taxes when you can be lazy and get free money from people who do work hard? Why not have another 3 ...

I think it's about time you guys got away from the inherently ridiculous setbit to -5 hitpoints proc and changed it to be something more "toril 2.0"-ish. Make it a constitution-based save and then make it do moblevel damage +- 20 to con for a duration based on moblevel. 60th level Paracs =...

Why mess around with a classic zone anymore than necessary due to code changes?

Seriously, they already screwed up Jot Invasion this way.

If you want to change zones, stick to the newer "messed up when they came in" zones!

I blame people like Lilira, Ashiwi and Sotana. They have obviously dropped the ball when it comes to providing ample opportunities for RP outside of RPQ-related events.

For shame, ladies.

Hrm, I came across some logs I have stashed away apparently...

Not sure if they are what you are looking for though!

With the amount of pills he's taken in his life, no one would have had to go to Canada for cheaper medicine had he sat out a few games. :(

It's just difficult to be an optimist about this industry for me, these days. It's just difficult for me to be an optimist about Toril these days. </troll> straight to digital download too, like GT:Prologue, and Warhawk, for $40, which is great if you've got the space on your drive to accomodate it...

Containers when held are most likely supposed to be statless, much like other wearable items that you can also hold.

My first memories of Jason were with Essete and him as a lil' guy here. Essete was watching a movie one night while we were grouped and apparently there was a bear in the movie that was going to be killed, but it could talk and it said, "NO! Bear want to live!"... so from then on Essete wo...

Can I play as Richard Dean Anderson? Otherwise I fail to see the relevance of this MMO.

Maybe they'll have a "egyptian serf" class. I could excel at drinking beer and building pyramids.

Tasan

I still think your 3000th post disappearing is > this.

I mean really... that's just a teabagging and a half.

Thirded. And corth i believe the basic stance is that since Eil doesn't have access to recode the whole mud in one foul swoop as was Shev's plan he's doing it in pieces that he does have access to/is able to code. (correct me if i'm wrong Eil that's how i read it.) I didn't think Eli knew how to co...

I fully endorse this product or slogan.

There's no transsexual option, either. You can't have a MUD sexuality survey and leave out all the human female rogues in the game. Yeah, human female rogues :) And Birile, I have a little bard, what does that say about me? Read this far too fast and thought I saw "I have a little bard in me&q...

Yeah I'll never forget my friend's story about his friend and the bar they were in in Thailand. His friend had said at one point that he was so drunk he didn't care if they were guys.
