Heretics! Burn 'em!

You going to argue spelling with the Catholic Church?

And the paper wouldn't run my ad, something about Fair Housing Laws. I blame you, MrSpkr. SSN Hint Of The Day: Misquote. Now sod off.

Welcome aboard. Don't worry, at this point everybody is a newbie. BTW, you spelled Belisaurus wrong.

Just couldn't hold out, could you AJ? Try a little harder next time. I'm sure the ever efficent Aussie post is even now trying to get CMBB to you. *snicker* Anybody want to guess which kangaroo's pouch it's in?

About a six pack.

Incense ... for people who want to play pretend. </font>

((HEAD BUTT))

Whirlpool commercial dryers that are two frickin weeks old and don't work, suck. A tenant that has made a new six month lease to stay at the Iron Bar Motel, sucks. Cable companies that drill holes in your apartment building without permission, suck. And the cable still doesn't work, which sucks. You all suck too. SSN Hint Of The Day: Talk with your hand over your mouth. Now sod off.

Got one, but thanks.

I thought you were under court order to stay away from there.

Agua Perdido, Iskander, and MrSpkr, front and center!!! I do believe you scum owe me something. A nice QB setup, something in the 1000 to 2000 pt range. I'll let you pick the parameters, that way it'll be entirely due to your gamey map if, through some quirk of fate, I happen to lose. Seanachai, dalem, and Papa Kahn, you're next. Also, in honor of receiving the blessed goodness of CMBB, I have decided to change my sig. It is particularly apt for you lot. SSN Hint Of The Day: Butter up the boss. Now sod off.

I got mine and at least half of you don't. So there. Has anyone seen the jewel case for CMBO? It was right here on my desk a couple of years ago.

Just a brief note to point out that my trip on Lake Minnetonka with the Minnesota Wing of the MBT was not a total squandering of an beautiful evening. It did elicit a nasty e-mail from both Shaw and my long lost squire, Hanns. Other than that, it was a complete waste of time. As you could imagine. If you had two brain cells to rub together. SSN Hint Of The Day: If the mistake is in your favor, don’t correct it. Now sod off.

Cruel, jon, very cruel.

Thanks!

Everybody knows you don't mess with a elderly hausfrau.

Thanks. I could never have figured that out myself.</font>

One more chance to send Seanachai to the bottom of Lake Minnetonka coming up tonight. Time to rid him of all that angst. Do dalem, Papa Kahn and I put him in the deep spot where no one will ever find him? Or in the shallows where the carp surely will? Your opinion is not wanted, but what the hell. SSN Hint Of The Day: Pay tolls with $50 bills. Now sod off.

Germans. sodding bastiches... I hope BTS fixed it so the Russians are uber on their copies. SSN Hint Of The Day: Read other people’s mail. Now sod off.

Ah, but we are using our grog powers for *good* instead of *evil*. This isn't an "are the #307 2.7cm Amperfield sprockets adequately modelled in SC?" type of debate. It's whether a particular game effect is far too powerful compared to its historical counterpart. I think the history matters. As for game effects, the solution I'd currently favour is tone down the air firepower (fewer casualties but more hits on supply and readiness), and increase the damage done by ground units to still make breakthroughs possible.</font>

To ignore the current grog poo flinging contest and get back to the matter of game balance... I would agree that AA tech should give ground units SOME ability to withstand air attacks as the easiest solution. Don't know how much and whether it should be limited to just against the fighter units. That would have to be play-tested. Keep in mind that a tech advance applies to all units for the rest of the game, you don't have to keep paying for it, so it could be a major change. Questions: Has anybody bothered to max AA tech out in a game yet? Does anybody bother to invest in it at all?

I'm going to work through them by date. It's going to be a long war...
