Hey, does anyone around here like turn-based space strategy games? 
|
Hate them!
|
So why are you posting on a forum dedicated to one?
|
I was just wondering the same thing. Space Empires IS a turn based space strategy game for all of you who have never made the conection.
|
Hey Kerensky. Space Empires is most certainly NOT a turn based space strategy game. Get a clue, man. It's turn based space strategy game. Sheesh. The nerve of some people.
|
Hey, my head feels pretty spaced right now. Like it's spinning. Weee, lack of slepp is funn!
|
Now THAT is what I call a lot of quotes.
|
How is that a lot of quotes?
|
IMPRESSIVE.
|
How so? It isn't even giving me side-scroll bars.
|
How so? Most people use a needle and thread.
|
Funny, most people who I know sew use a sewing machine.
|
Hmm, how narrow can the inner quote box get?
|
Looks like excessively nested quotes can mess up formatting just like large pictures. The minimum width of a quote box appears to be dictated by the longest word in it, "Nodachi" in this case.
|
Guys, what is the longest word in the english language? PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCO - I think it is a lung desease or something. Not really
|
Floccinaucinihilipilification! That's all I have to say on this matter. That word is one of the longest words not related to science, though it doesn't have much of a meaning (it basically repeats the same thing a couple of times).
|
And there is always antidisestablishmentarianism, which can actually mean something (besides making the forum suffer).
|
Right. However, if we were to track back into time to the beginings of the English language, the universally spoken english language as we all know, then I think we would find that our barbaric forefathers first spoken word must have been "NO." I mean it was the first word I learned.
|
It is extremely disconcerting to see my name getting contorted like that! So of course I'll add to it!

I believe one of the Old English words for no was "Na" (as far as I know, the vowel was not really the same as our current "a", but I am no Old English scholar), though this word did not quite have the same meaning as our no.
That was just a pretence to add to the thread though, and see what happens if we shorten Nodachi to "he"... Will the middle box be much shorter? Will it break the forum at last? Will John fall in love with Mary?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
Strategy and anyone are now the limiting factor; I guess we won't be able to make you even smaller Nodachi. Actually, this isn't true: a Battlemoon fully loaded with planetoid-mounted napalm should make you much smaller.
However, the quoting madness must stop here: I am the spirit of moderation after all (stop sniggering you in the back). Must... resist... temptation of quoting.

You're right. I really do feel for the ones who come in late and try to sort through all those replies!
On second thought, no I don't!

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
Actually, mass quoting makes it too easy to browse the thread: reading your last post allows to read the twenty last posts or so at once. We should really edit all our posts to put the quotes in a random order, hence making it much harder to read the thread. That would be pure evil, and so fun... for us that is.
That should be my last post on this thread for a while; if you still see me posting here in three minutes, feel free to use lethal force to get me out of the thread.
