Strategia does realize he's in trouble. But, he quickly places a call on the earth-to-orbit phone and then stands by, looking relaxed.

The orbital plasma launcher crews are happy again.....

Thankfully my GeesKat were all forced to watch Troy as form of mental toughening so had put the hat in Quarrantine.

Remember the old adage: "Beware Trjoans, their complete smegheads"

Strategia watches amusedly as the plasma teardrop eradicates all of Phil and his forces. Big badda boom and a large crater.

You know that cheap Dutch Plasma just isn't worth it. You shouldn't have skimped when building that orbital plasma, half the price I'll grant you, but I've seen water pistols with more firepower.

Let him have it boy!

The Geeskat let rip with their rapid fire pulse grenade launchers. Carefully firing in a circle around Strategia they remove all support from the floor. As the last peice of the floor drops away. Strategia just hangs there while gravity looks the other way, abit embaressed.

Do drop by again

El Phil turns off the anti-grav drive and Strategia falls into the pit of Budweiser bellow

Re:
 
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....."[big sploosh]

And I didn't use Dutch plasma launchers, or skimp on the construction cost. I hired a team of skilled Hiigaran engineers, and paid a high price. But I'll play along.

El_Phil April 22nd, 2005 02:24 PM

Re:
 
Ahhh you may have paid a high price but I think there was an error in your translator. When you heard "The works been done." they we're saying "You've been done."

Besides it can be a launcher from anywhere, but if it launches Dutch plasma (the 108th state of matter) then anybody can withstand its alleged power!

Use quark-gluon plasma, it's several trillion degrees http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Would vaporize anything, probally even neutronium.

Re: Monkeys
 
Didn't use a translator. I speak Dutch, English and Hiigaran perfectly.

Quark-gluon plasma? You do know quarks and gluons are what make up protons and neutrons? And btw, it's nothing compared to what I use to generate plasma.

Subquantum particles from before the Big Bang.

Each plasma teardrop is a small Big Bang, it just doesn't expand because a universe already exists around it.

O.o I don't think I get it either. What is sane but the opposite of a crazy person? But shouldn't there be two opposite crazy people somewhere? Does that mean that there's no such thing as being sane?

El_Phil April 25th, 2005 08:51 AM

Re:
 
You could argue that there is in fact no such thing as "Sane", certainly no absolute standard anyway. It is all relative and depends upon circumstance and company.

So a person considered 'sane' by society at large would be in the minority around here, hence 'insane' round here.

David E. Gervais April 25th, 2005 09:00 AM

Re:
 
What does crazy have to do with insanity?.. nothing, they are close cousins, but not 'connected' in any way. Crazy is closer to 'Wild' than 'Insane'. Of course they each have their 'perimeters' and they may overlap, but they are definately not the same. Then you have subsets of Wild, Crazy and Insane,.. Berzerk, and Frenzied. There sure alot happening in and around these terms, and they do seem to all apply to this thread, so I guess in the end you are right, it's all the same. But it isn't at the same time, hmmm,.. this needs more thought..

Re:
 
Well if it was simple it wouldn't be fun would it?

Insane does sound more medical and scientific. I mean you wouldn't have "Arkham Asylum for the Criminaly Crazy" would you? Although it would sound funny I suppose.

Whereas Crazy, for me at least, is someone choosing to do something odd/dangerous/weird/whatever but with no medical reason, they just felt like doing it.

Some tentative thoughts.

I think insane is having conflicting motivations driving your actions, causing you to have opposing actions. Something like that.
