    Nah, that's not really the comparison. It was mostly a comparison between the AI and actual other players. The game AI is incapable of using it's killers effectively, and telling when to follow up blocks and when not to. So even if you're facing a 2300 Chaos AI team, you're not gonna leave...

    I can guarantee that if you poll a group of people they would have no idea who the prominent world leaders are, or hell, even who their national representatives are. We have an ignorant population, and they're happy that way. I've been reading cereal boxes since I could read during...

    Just so you understand how this works, because it's kind of weird here -- Your TV atm is 780, but you can't field 11 players. You have 10, plus 1 MNG, which means you have 9. This means that you're going to be given 2 journeymen for the match, period, and they are included in your TV at the...

    I linked this in IRC, and probably other places, but just so it's here for public consumption --http://elyoukey2.phpnet.org/sac/ Be advised that when determining probabilities for agility actions, you need to find the base roll, which you do by the "Rule of 7," and then add modifiers. You...

    Well that's no one's fault but your own then. I read the ingredients of most of what I eat. I'm not gonna claim to understand what everything is in everything, but a lot of the compounds are pretty easy to figure out if you think about them for awhile. Particularly with beverages these...

    Well, if you've ever spilled any, it's pretty obvious that it's sticky when it dries. Other than, you know, the ingredients on the side of the bottle.

    Huh, well, it's interesting that's it's changed in the last few years, but I've always kinda been skeptical about the numbers anyway because they rely 100% on people accurately reporting their sexual activities. It's not like there are people lining up to participate in clinical trials to see...

    I'm pretty surprised at the difference in the amount of injuries caused by players as opposed to the AI. I've played 50 game campaigns against the computer and not suffered any serious game changing injuries during them. This...this is just a bloodbath. I've got a pretty good idea of how...

    Birth Control

    I'm gonna go ahead and admit I didn't take Bio 101, but the last stats I saw, withdrawl was around 70% effectiveness, and condoms are in the 98% range when used correctly. So yeah, of course it's somewhat effective, but it's not anywhere near as effective as proper contraception.

    I have to say, I am just fucking shocked at the enthusiasm for this game. I never really thought we'd get more than about 15 guys doing this, and instead we've got double that, and the first day we're capable of playing new games, we've got half of them done. I'll be around most of the day...

    Makita doesn't perform like you think it does all the time.

    Match Day 2 has started. You have until Tuesday Feb 5th to schedule your matches, so a bit over a week again. Here's the schedule for this week, so you don't need to log into the game to communicate. Cyrus has been added. Hooray for new blood.

    Yeah, like OneOfOne said, my mortgage broker was fucking awesome. His estimate on my mortgage was within $10 of my actual payment, and there's no way he could have figured out what my homeowners insurance was without seeing the house, but he did.

    Fantastic. Glad to see all that shit worked itself out. Cyrus will be replacing my Orcacide goblin team when I get home in the morning, so if you're playing them (Vycron I think?) You're now scheduling with Cyrus. Still have one more spot to fill out the league if anyones interested.

    Yup, just made my alt account an admin to check it. If you guys are watching the game and it gets played and goes off without a hitch, go ahead and validate it and then End the Day when it's done, and people can start playing Week 2

    Get pre-approved first. Then you can take the knowledge of how much you can get a loan for, and what the payment on that loan would be and make the correct decision for your property. Note that your pre-approval only lasts for a certain amount of time (6 months? Something like that). After...

    So I get a lot of questions in IRC and in games about positioning, and truly it is the most important aspect of the game, once you understand how to play it.

    Saying there's no risk is a bit disingenuous. You have to use your debit card for transactions, which is significantly more risky than using a credit card because they don't share the same protections under the law. Now, whether that's an acceptable risk or not is up to you, but I phased out...
