The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

The "official" unemployment rate is at 9.8%. Unofficially it's around 15-16%. Furthermore, there is no REAL growth in the economy. Artificial growth doesn't count. Stimulus programs do nothing other than "stimulate" the economy with current spending from consumers who would have purchased the product a year later, and aren't going to do that anymore. That's NOT growth. Obama is a tool.

That was not nice Gideon... not nice at all! 😐

My schedule doesn't afford time for me to dick around with you on another set of forums, Nebaris. SW,R is a pleasant pasttime for me and a few others and I'm not going to allow you to complicate it.

Unless I'm wrong and you actually planned to contribute, in which case I'll remove the ban.

(Keep in mind, though, that it can be put back on a whim.)

I did kind of plan to contribute thought most of my creativity would probably be injected into my own creation (Ages of Omniverseria - RPG Maker VX) but I can at the very least promise that I'll direct all of my shenanigans exclusively onto Captain Rex. 😄 (if that's not going to be a problem...)

Out of curiosity, is there room for an entirely original story to be created within the history of the Star Wars universe or is it entirely based around enhancing existing stories?

Both.

Edit: I removed the ban, welcome back. Any questions can be posted there, I'm going offline here.

Cya.

Cool, the former would probably be more in my style; leaning more towards creating something from scratch rather than having to make sure it fits into place alongside existing works.

😄

Mwahaha.

I will kindly ask you to respond to my thread please.

the Clone Wars games ?(THe ones based on Age of Empires engines?

OMGOMGOMGOMG

Why wasn't I told about this?

I saw improper use of "begging the question" in the paper recently. Even those all-knowing and worldly artists known as the Media slip up from time to time.

Because people don't talk to you?

Srsly? That game is already oldskool. I wouldn't say it's better than Age of Empires though, just different.

Age of Empires is the gold standard.

One question:

(They have chocolate milk now!?!?)

But srsly. It sounds interesting. Will I get Jedi?

you will. Many many many of them. It was okay. I found it a little repetitive, a little too quickly.

All those games were made 50X more difficult by the creation of the fortresses, the computer would have 10 fortresses, and you would need so many troops to invade anything. Defense was easy, conquering the world always took an epic effort.

This is the new gold standard for using emoticons within parentheses:

[(myl) I rather doubt that Mr. Will is aware that he's "already been called on it" — that would be giving him too much credit for lack of ego-involvement :-).]

Also, a question. Given this post:

When phrases are coordinated, readers infer that the the juxtaposed elements are in some way parallel. Careless coordination produces unwanted inferences. Today's Daily Beast serves up an object lesson:
[quote]
Stunned colleagues Friday described veteran CBS News producer Joe Halderman—who was arrested outside the network’s West 57th Street offices Thursday in the alleged scheme to blackmail David Letterman—as a rogue and a womanizer, a lover of literature, a “smart frat boy,” a swashbuckling journalist, and an occasional barroom brawler who distinguished himself in dangerous war zones and occasionally displayed a certain reckless streak.

F***ing literature lovers.[/quote]

What inferences are expected that cause the illustrious David Beaver to damn literature lovers?

[Guys, this went way over my head. The aside is clearly talking about Halderman, and I can't see any implications beyond that. Some of it might be that it is 10:30, but I'm freaking out here. What did I miss?]
