It's really not that remarkable. Many people enjoy the feeling they get from being admired by others. Some almost crave the attention, and it can be a form of obssesive behavior itself. You and I just can't truly relate to the experience of being viewed in such a manner, since we don't have the physical attributes that are neccesary to attract such admiration. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif


Hmm... I can recognise myself in that...
What can I say? I just know myself very well.

Either you're admitting that you like attention or you actually have the "physical attributes that are neccesary to attract such admiration." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Well, what do you think, my friend? Both of course.
Just take a look at me and you'll instantly transform in a homosexual beast and go around and chase me all night long. I've been known to have that effect on both sexes... hahaha...
And of course I like the attention, it really makes me feel in control. I'm a control freak you know.

Hmm... it suddenly occurs to me that you know an awful lot about the true me now. I must plan to have an assasin shadowing you all.

Simply shadow the Assassin yourself, dear Deadstar. As the Assassin attempts to shadow yourself, she will have to remain concealed from your eyes, which will not be an easy task if you are shadowing her yourself.

Since no Assassin can perform well while being stralled, you will be perfectly safe, so long as you do not break this life circle. Should you falter in your shadowing efforts, consider your life forfeit by these simple rules of logic.

If the Assassin does not realise you can be now be killed (after a few days of unlimited tedium shadowing someone shadowing you, your mind can be a bit sleepy), your duty, as a honourable denizen of the Cantina, is to report this situation with all haste to the shadowing Assassin. We cannot suffer such failures in the behaviour of our Assassins.

Alneyan, You refer to this Assasin as female and as yours. I Do hope my fellow schemer and Expert in the realm of "Information and Truth" would not be trying to remove myself from the picture. I agree however, I will not accept failiure in the realms of Assasination, unless against me, I'm more than willing to allow Assasins of the world to fail against me so that they keep things in perspective and prevent ego-inflation, which is hazardous to an Assasins wellbeing, I have heard that many cases of Death are actually Terminal.

As a Humble Denizen of the Cantina any Assasin Shadowing me will have treats instore from this Red Hot Poker Cannon that GT left behind when he began his peaceful ways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
The "ours" was merely a manner of speaking. Our little association does have such Assassins, hence the use of the possessive pronoun "ours". I do not have one Assassin at my disposal however, did not contract this Assassin I never heard of, and cannot possibly know that this Assassin (whose very existence remains a mystery to me) is female, let alone that she was available for employment. As such, I could not ask your head to this Assassin I have no knowledge of, even if I had wanted to (perish the thought!).

Alas, there can be no such rule to the standard guideline of Assassins, and so you will be no exception to the cold blade of these lethal killers unbeknowst to me. However, I could likely rescind this order I never gave; to do so, you but have to manage to find the adress of the lovely person displayed in Slynky's first teaser. Once you have done so, I will gladly remove any non-existant contract from your head.

The Tiger can never begin acting in a serene manner, unlike my peaceloving self. I will grant you that he did mention chastity belts and the like, but why should such... erh... devices regarded as being "peaceful"? To the best of my knowledge, the Tiger did not even hinted at what purposes he had in mind. As such, I discard any such thing as a Tiger being peaceful; at best, it is hearsay, and at worst a full-blown conspiracy to tarnish his name.

Edit: Obviously, the moment I post my query, I manage to get the answer on Google at long Last. Tsk. (For the curious reader, this side note was about Liddy and the Watergate, as Geo mentioned both one hundred Posts below)

I don't think that is supposed to be a death sort of look. That looks like one of the characters from Farscape.

I'm sure you're right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif, I never watched Farscape. Thanks for the info!

Timstone September 25th, 2004 02:17 PM

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
Yup, that is one of the Farscape characters. I really liked Farscape one of the few new SF-showes that managed to intrigue me. I'm disapointed that it wasn't showed my country (lovely Holland) anymore. Ah well, things change.

The Last pic was very much to my liking Slynky. Good show. Bis, bis!

RD & Alneyan:
Gents, you're making it far too complicated for my assasins to kick your butt. You know what? I'll cancel the contract, have the assasins assassinated and kill you all with a nice big juicy nuke. Deal?

Alneyan September 25th, 2004 04:35 PM

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
I have no problem with your suggestion dear Timstone. Note, however, that this thread will be deleted should you ever attempt something looking like a direct or indirect attack on myself. I do not speak for RD however.

Likewise, using unconventional weaponry for mere assassinations is a tad bit overkill. I would have expected you to figure out more subtle ways to kill someone. And obviously, standard nukes may trigger massive retribution from other powers in this world, thus resulting in an equally swift death for yourself.

I certainly hope your warning is nothing but mockery RD. I take it you did do something funny with his food today, or even yesterday? Otherwise, telling him in advance you will try to... erh... to show your skills as a cook seems a bit counter-productive to me. What? Was it only friendship? A odd word.

On a side note, may I link back to my favourite from Last year thread? The full thread is available here .

RD! Do not follow the same path as Growltigger! Do not become a peace-loving leader! Blood and assassinations are part of our duty as Princes of Enlightenment and Benevolent Rulers.

Unless... unless it is only a new kind of affection striking Albion. Growltigger grows peaceful, and Raging Deadstar thinks of peculiar concepts such as "friendship". Hopefully, Dogscoff will remain a barbarian/valkyrie of some sort. Otherwise, the Cantina itself will become a merry-go-round at this rate. *Shivers*

Timstone wakes up walks into his throneroom and a servant brings him his meal. Timstone orders his servant (a nice lady with vampteeth and long curly black hair wearing nice tight black leather clothing) to taste the food. The servant eats the food and stays alive. Timstone thinks the food is save to eat. So He consumes the meal with no side-effect and goes on with normal everyday live. Suddenly He feels a cramp in his tummy. Fortunately he has no worries whatsoever, because a short time in his sarcafocus (I don't know how to write it properly) will completely heal him and render him free of any nasty poisons and the like.

Sorry RD, I will remain on this Earth to pester humanity for the rest of my long life. Your puny plan to poison he via my food is not very effective. YUou should have tried blowing up my home, my computer or something even more brutal, my GF. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Damn, I'm giving him good ideas, bad idea. Stupid me...

RD & Alneyan:
You two are cool guys. Me like you! RD, we should explore the universe again on my timetraveling gearbox.
Nice pic by the way.

Sarcophagus aye? You been watching too much Stargate my friend, and I know way too much Egyptian Mythology/History. The word itself is really interesting, so if you want to know the meaning go Here.

As for blowing up your girlfriend....I'm not that stupid. Remember the phrase "Hell hath no fury..." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
Yeah, I've been watching too much Stargate alright. I've bought Season 7 and I have watched all the episodes in a matter of two weeks (I wanted to spread the episodes, but failed). Damn , that was very cool.
And one of those badgirls is wow! Hathor, here I come!
Thanks for not blowing up my GF. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hathor...Pah. Osiris was much better. Well, the Stargate Version anyway. In real Myths Osiris was a he!

Obligatory Stargate Quote:
Daniel : She's Hathor, the goddess of fertility, inebriety, and music.
Jack O'Neill : Sex, drugs, and rock & roll?

Haha... LOL.

I've only sen SG SG-1 season 1 and now season 7. I've watched the preview to SG Atlantis. I don't know what to think of that. On one side I say: "This is soo stupid, they're using SG as a milkcow.". But on the other side I'm very curious to see it. More of the same! Wohoo!

Fyron September 27th, 2004 02:27 PM

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
Atlantis definitely is not up to par with the original Stargate. This may just be because the actors have not fallen into their roles yet though...

Re: Dragon*Con Photos (and comments)
 
I think we'll (we in Holland) shall she Atlantis no sooner then 2006 or something. And when we start seeing Atlantis, the serie will be showed to us is a period of about 5 or 10 years. I freakin' sucks that the tv-stations will buy only a very small part of the serie, smear them out over a very long period and show a lot of reruns (back to the first episode). All this just to attract one or two percent more viewers. If a serie is cool to watch at, the serie will attact it's main addience in it's first period, I think there will be an addtional one maybe two percent increase in viewers (people who never have seen the serie, not the verterans that leave. So it's not an overall percentage) due to the reruns. Stupid policy. When I become a tv-tycoon, I'll... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Nirrti is my choice for the most beautiful (and yet strangely, the most evil) of them!

What Atlantis lack for me is Stargate's linking ancient history with aliens and future technology. That is part of what hooks me into series...beyond stuff blowing up!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I just started collecting the series (Season 2 on its way), and its fun to see that they really seem to have had a focus and direction from the first season. It's fun to see these shows in order! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Still, they are making a good run of it, and the stories are moving along well.
