Anyone know what the ranks are at what number of Posts? Just curious as to how many times I've got to get into this scheme to get another rank.

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

Ooops... uh, I mean, into this very informative and purposeful thread. Not scheme. No scheme here.

Not bad, but if you are interested in staying on a minimal budget and buying at the 'trailing edge' instead of the 'leading edge' you could have gotten an even better deal at dumpinggoods.com where lots of vendors dispose of their 'obsolete' stocks.

So that means I only need around 176 more Posts to be a Major? SWEET!

Well, I knew that already, but it's still cool.

At least I'm combining this all into one post, instead of participating in the more shameless variety of post-padding http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

--edit: And I made two more Posts, and am editing this one to say I need 174 more Posts, instead of posting again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Well, well, well,.. what do you know, sometime during my 'sleep-cycle' we managed to cross the 10% barrier of this race.

FYI: I've been up 2 hours allready, and I have stuffed some 'requested-goodies' into Aaron's e-mail Box. Just like an elf, I prepare my goodies while he sleeps and they are ready for when he gets up.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

P.S. No, I can not say what the goodies are/were. (But I'm betting you can guess what they were for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif )

Why do people yell "Echo" to see if there is a echo? Are they afread if they yell something else, that someone will answer?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

Because echo-cho-o-o has a nice reverb.

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

Because Echo was the name of the nymph that (IIRC) Hera punished, by allowing her to only repeat what others say. Hera was a rather nasty ***** of a goddess, with a big jealousy trip. I think Echo was one of Zeus' many "conquests", and since Hera can't really get back at hubie directly, she takes her wrath out on the mistresses, their children, and humanity in general.

Echo also had a big crush on Narcissus, who ended up seeing his reflection in a pool of water, fell in love with his own image, and ended up starving to death. Which is why we call people who spend way too much time in front of the mirror "narcissists".

Eric Flint and David Freer did a hilarious re-take on the greek gods in a book called Pyramid Scheme.

Really? I put that quote, almost verbatim, under my senior picture in my high school yearbook but I didn't know someone else had said it. Maybe I thought I came up with it but was remembering something I had read long ago. Very interesting.

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

I am almost there.

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

here's one.. "A person who smiles with their eyes has a warm heart. A person who smiles with their teeth has a cold heart, and a person that smiles both ways has a genuine happy heart."

Can't remember where or who said that, but I do remember the phrase.

Re: Thumbs Up to all you Modders..
 

fyi,.. I installed the Starcraft Battlechest on friday and managed to play a bit yesterday,.. man that was/is a great game. I can't believe that Blizzard have shoved this potential bonanza in the back closet in favor of a slew of warcraft crap. (which has alwasy been basically the same game but given some minor facelifts.)

SC came out in 1998, and is their single biggest selling game title. (yes it has outsold WC2, WC3, Diablo, and D2) So what exactly are these idiots waiting for? I have a good mind to convince Aaron that his next project should be SE:Ground Combat (an RTS to put SC to shame).

Sorry for the rant, but but,.. but.. Oh nevermind.

Thinking of starting a full shipset for a new Nomadic Race. I think that Portrait would be perfect. It's even the same color!

Sample of Nomad starship attached. It's not finished, so constructive criticism is always appreciated.
