A tribute to the best and greatest thread in the world: Off Topic

[Psychosplodge]

Not quite as big, and significantly more one sided iirc.

[Kirsten]

yes, the israelis have had big successes with their tanks, they destroyed over two hundred arab tanks for a loss of three of their own in one engagement. not on the scale of Kursk though. but that is the issue really, every time people write off tanks, another tank battle comes along...

also laser gatling guns...

When you have a Challenger II no one wants a tank fight...

Bloody hell.

People bemoaning Apocalypse because a known incomplete list of formations doesn't feature their favourite. Therefore it doesn't it exist, cannot exist and will not exist.

Because clearly the first rule of Apocalypse is 'you may only do as we bloody well tell you'.

SCREW YOU TOURNAMENT SCENE! Making people worry about what is or isn't 'official'.

The SKY IS FALLING. The CHAPTER of marines is too powerfull and under costed! Waaagh!

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed.

I often think that if people worried less about winning, then just like life, they'd enjoy the game a lot more.

Me, still planning a Stompa/Dredd/Kan horde....

[Wolfshade]

Yes, it is all about the win and not about the game.

I always feel dreadfully embarrased when I am tabling my opponent and every dice roll seems to go my way, what I need 6 5+ saves? roll :dice like thunder: a collection of 5s and 6s show

[Psychosplodge]

You should stike a pose and say something like,

Eat superior dice rolling you lousy cur

[Mr Mystery]

Yup :)

I'm a well known luck vampire in my area. If you play me, the dice gang up on you, and shower me in high rolling love when I need it!

But a bit of humility, shown throughout the game, and no pretence that jammy rolling is anything to do with tactics or strategy? All is fine!

[eldargal]

I'm a bit like that, also the cockier the opponent the worse they roll. It happens when they make sexist comments though, every time someone (usually newbie or guets) make a remark about going on easy on my because I'm a girl or that girls can't play I tend to table them by turn 3.

I have zero concerns about Apocalypse in terms of datasheets, you can always make your own, old apocalypse encouraged it. I hope GW also put blank datasheet pdfs up on their website.

[Kirsten]

so much for Saatchi's attack on Ms Lawson being playful...

"I feel that I have clearly been a disappointment to Nigella during the last year or so, and I am disappointed that she was advised to make no public comment to explain that I abhor violence of any kind against women, and have never abused her physically in any way."

"I am sorry that we had a row. I am sorry she was upset. I am even more sorry that this is the end of our marriage," he added.

never abused her physically, except of course for the time he did and was caught on camera. saying he is sorry that she is upset is an unbelievably sh***y thing to do, what a total smeghead.

[eldargal]

Yep it's the worse kind of non-apology.

[Mr Mystery]

What next? Hitler to return from the grave, and explain the whole thing was meant to be a bit of a laugh and it just sort of got out of hand, but hey, boys will be boys, no harm done eh?

Screw you Charles Saatchi. Your treatment of women is as piss poor as your taste in art.

And in other news, looks like Labour remain on course to win in 2015. Just caught Chris Grayling, justice secretary bury his head in the sand about UKIP leeching Tory votes, and instead rant on about how left wing Labour are, and why this is a bad thing. Because of Unions and stuff.

Was a fantastic game. He won in complete style. I suspect he will gain the number 1 spot very soon.

Indeed. Hard fought and well deserved!

For those who missed it, the score is misleading! Murray took the second set 7-5, despite coming back for 0-4..... Utterly demolished Jocovich at times, yet neither gave an inch.

Awesome bit of sport, and I mean that as a non-sport fan. Caught it in 3D, was double brill!

Psyduck is adorable, less adorable than Liara though.

Aw fact I wish I had remembered on the 4th of July: Libertas/Liberty was originally a Roman goddess who was also the patron protectress of prostitues and known as the Mother of Harlots. So the symbol of New York and one of the symbols of 'merican liberty, apart from being French, is also the goddess of wh*res.

'Your honour, clearly Mrs Brown a dangerous, delusional pensioner of questionable moral fibre who has it in for my client. Everyone knows, you never see Ninjas...'

'Damn straight Mr Defence Lawyer. I find Kirsten totally not guilty on account she never done, and instead sentence Mrs Brown to death for being a mad old biddy what reckons you can see Ninjas'

[eldargal]

Well it was going to happen, the subscription model is on it's last legs and some form of free to play is the future. So long as it isn't pay to win (and it doesn't have to be) it really isn't bad. The item datamined from WoW is a potion you can buy which increases exp by 100%, not really pay to win. Surprised it has taken Blizzard this long really, people have been paying power levelers to level their characters since the beginning.

I usually check out each WoW expansion for a while, I actually like Pandaria but my main is 90 or whatever the level cap is now while my next alt is...62. Leveling through the old game was tedious enough, though they shook it up with Cataclysm. Leveling through teh first expansion Burning Crusade stuff is just a lesson in boredom though, I can't manage it. If I still played WoW regularly I would pay for this potion.

That dog story was quite quite shocking.

And once again the dog will be put down and the owner will be told off. Funny really it proably should be the other way around.

[Kirsten]

I played WoW for a while, got it when the second expansion came out and I enjoyed it, got three characters to the mid 20s. quite fancy playing it again with the more recent expansions.

[eldargal]

It's quite fun, starting to show it's age a bit. People like to bash it but it really is like the McDonalds of MMOs. Easy to play, accessibly, low system requirements, enjoyable enough if that's what you're after. By no means is it a bad game. I prefer SWTOR though. LOTRO before that.

man who made threats to kill people on facebook jailed. what I find hard to swallow about this story is that apparently he showed 'genuine remorse' over his actions. saying you are going to get a gun, drive into a school, and kill people is not an off the cuff remark. it isn't a badly worded or heat of the moment comment you later regret, or a joke gone too far. it is a very deliberate thing to say, I find it hard to believe he posted all these threats, on two different tribute pages, and now realises he has done wrong...

It's getting a bit Dakkadakka in general 40k..... Don't worry. I'll handle this!
I'm away from the forum and it all goes down the crapper.

Hello all, Happy Tuesday.

Freaking troll.

[Mr Mystery]

I dunno man.

He's more the 'ignorant and arrogant teen' if you ask me.

If he calls me 'son' again, I'll just casually illustrate I've been gaming since 1989, which I suspect predates his birth....

[Wolfshade]

Just remember Proverbs 26.

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
...
11 As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.


Because sometimes the old book has useful commentary.

Just remember folks, that proper finger placement when typing a valediction in a professional email is important.

The "T" key is very close to the "G" key and can cause all sorts of mayhem if you flub your typing of "Regards."

Well being a troll suggests an intended outcome, where as if he's merely ignorant he can't be intentionally trolling and it's everybody's responsibility to inform him of his ignorance? He can still be an idiot though if he chooses to ignore such friendly advice...

I rather fear that young man has just sort of missed the point. In general.

You can always spot a teenager. They insist on trying to bring age into it.

Seriously. Calling me son. I'm 33 for goodness sake! But, I shall take it as a compliment of my youthful complexion and posting style!

I'm not sure he's a teenager, I think he's in the USMC so sure he might be around 18 but I think its more likely hes early 20's, 23 at latest

[Psychosplodge]

Is he?

Darklink, give him a slap.

A little too early to think of the weekend, though yours do sound good.
I'm just going to be BBQing Friday-Sunday with various friends and family so that should be fun.

Might even arrange for some 40k action on Saturday morning, but I have the nagging feeling that I have forgotten something.

Aye, but she said a long time ago that my work is more specialised and will always move for me

PLus shes from Cov originally, so not the end of the world

I know theres a GW, and hopefully a gaming club so i'll live with the move. Plus moving North means everything is a bit cheaper and i may actually be able to get a house

[Psychosplodge]

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Games Day this year is looking... Odd.
Going back to a smaller venue, when there have been problems with overcrowding the past 3 years? Not a solution me would have said.

Also, you basically have to get the train there, and there is no model. It just seems too expensive for not a lot of filler.

[DrLove42]

Gamesday has downsized. There is none of the club/gaming participation gaming. Its focusing more on seminars, meeting designers and takling things through. Also there is only 4000 tickets, instead of the 7000 they sold last year

[eldargal]

People need to start taking a sodding camera and filming the bloody seminars. I mean how is it you get morons filming themselves breaking the law all the time and posting it to Facebook but 4-7000 bloody geeks in a hall can't manage to film a bloody seminar.

Wheres the information? I may be being dense but can only find the option to purchase a ticket?

[Wolfshade]

Yup Yup 4,000, no model, no staff discount on the tickets could this be an improvement?

We certainly have complained at the number of people previously so who knows if this is a good thing or bad, but with the price of the ticket the only thing I know for sure is that I won't be there to tell first hand.

[Psychosplodge]

IDK what to do, quite enjoyed last year, but no special model? hmm...

[eldargal]

I know the GD model isn't included in the ticket price but surely they haven't dropped it completely?

First the trains. Then we stopped them doing it to the NHS. So now they've decided to sell the post office.

As someone has pointed out, the public can now buy shares in something, that at present is already owned by the people

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23249466

[Psychosplodge]

Even Adam Smith supported a single post system on the basis of It works.
They've already made it difficult for years by letting competitors collect mail, take a cut and then make Royal Mail deliver it at a much lower rate than they would have before.
Plus apparently about fifty percent of the staff are surplus to requirements and don't do anything and there is far too much management.
And when they take agency staff on there is no English language requirement, which does wonders for sorting mail by address...

I may have some inside knowledge

[Wolfshade]

I am generally in favour of things being the private sector, however, I feel very strongly that the Post Office should be owned by the public.
We are incredibly lucky here to have a postal service that runs daily deliveries to your door. Want to post from the Scilly Isles to Outer Herbidies, that costs the same as a letter to your neighbour and can be delievered next day with a 1st class stamp.
What we see in other countries with privatiesed Post Offices are people needing to rent a post box which they then have to visit to collect their post, that isn't an improvement.
In rural areas the Post Office don't just deliever letters, they also run ferries and minibuses to larger areas and back, we would lose this.
We see it already, large couries like TNT who already do deliveries of their own, subcontract back to the Royal Mail to get their letters/parcels delievered to out of the way places.

Possibly Trains don't know if I'd apply it to any lower level of transport than that.

[eldargal]

Popsicle was referring to rle68.

Our train system was at it's peak when teh Big four companies ran it and went into decline after nationalization so not sure that's the answer.

[Wolfshade]

Trouble is if you don't have trains + busses / trams / trolleybuses you end up with them in competition. For instance a village near me has a station and bus stop, they have a bus and train every 30 minutes, but they arrive at the same time at opposite ends of the village so if you miss one you can't get the other.
What you need is proper integration between them both.

well it grew back a few times so that was when I decided to just dig a hole in the skin, not sure what was in there, was kind of hard to see

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Could we have a less... disgusting topic? It's making me wretch.

[Deadlift]

Please bear in mind this is going back to the 70s. As a kid I had a skin complaint that resulted in me having body warts on my arms and abdomen. About 20 in total and if I remember rightly it was a virus that caused them. Anyway apparently it was a very rare condition that our hospital ha not seen before. The Dermatologist who was looking into my case thought he had the answer. This was to have four nurses pin me down to a bed and jab each of my warts with cocktail sticks dipped in vinegar. Very painful and not just a little scary. My mother obviously became a bit dubious about this type of treatment and my mother went for a second opinion.
2nd Docs solution was an acidic brown paint like substance that was painted over the warts daily, this paint slowly burnt the warts away and after a couple months of treatment I was cured and only had a few scars to show for it. Sure the treatment was a little uncomfortable, but nothing like being stabbed all over with cocktail sticks. Unsurprisingly I have a huge phobia of needles.

[Nabterayl]

My understanding is it's always a virus, but one that sticks around in a fairly localized area, so the trick is just to remove the infected tissue. Whether you do that through freezing, burning, excavation, or changing the environment of the tissue (which is why washing a lot might work, and duct taping the area sometimes works as well) is not really important. The catch is that it's hard to be sure you've caught every last infected cell without doing a lot more tissue damage than you really "need." Thing that worked best for me was having a doctor excavate the wart with what was essentially a tiny melon baller-shaped razor, then cauterize the resulting crater with an electrical probe.
