Operation Enigma, breaking the code!

Well I don't mean to be picky (obviously I do) but on the the subject of nipples one would normally expect 2 - no? :D

Granted, normally you would but this is ED, one nipple per season is good value apparently! :D

And yes this is about a PvE 'exercise' of the minor faction system that just happens to feature the Code. Should be fun.
 
Hello, Dave1235. :)

After seven days, over four hundred posts and more raah! than you can shake a big, sweaty stick at... it looks like it's finally winding down. Not bad, old chap!

Lessons I've learned:
• The Lave Cluster Campers (and all their apologists and collaborators) really don't like the idea of their victims obtaining any kind of a victory;
• Some people have the most amazingly one-sided and back-handed definition of the phrase 'mutual respect' that I have ever seen;
• Mr Mobius seems like a very decent person;
• CODE members should probably try and accept that they're almost-certainly going to have to bend over, put their heads between their legs and kiss their minor faction goodbye;
• The Lave Cluster Campers really, really don't like the idea of their victims obtaining any kind of a victory.

Two pizzas, three containers of instant noodles, four boxes of chocolate eclairs and a near-infinite amount of coffee were consumed during the gradual making of this post.

Good luck, Dave. :)

Sad thing is I'd reckon your pretty much right.
 
Many of these groups have spreadsheets etc of pilots who are members or allied, and indeed kill on sight lists. They typically check them over teamspeak and a "leave alone" or "kill" is issued.

So what are you saying? That Code's only option is to kill any and all CMDRs in their 'home' system that aren't on the Code members/allies list? Wow, now would be a really bad time to be a newcomer wanting to join Code....
 
There is no long term gratification in trading.

What about Elite status? This is a long term gratification and the essence of the Elite games.
PvP is more or less stuck on but if there is another Elite game in 20 years, it will have long term gratification for grinding for sure, while it may or may not have PvP.

Of course he is right. This was scientific research. How do I know?

Back from sushi night!

Doumo. Kampai!
 
Ok, at least with Hutton we had the cojones to fight people in open. Let us know when you have the testicular fortitude to do the same.

^^^^ Ditto.

Interesting how some people seem to measure the worth of their manly bits by the particular way in which they choose to sit on a chair and play with toy spaceships.

Please, tell us more about it.

Personally I prefer cold sake - heating it up means the alcohol evaporates ;)

(Lived and worked in Japan for 6 years before moving back to my native Scotland in late 2012 - didn't like the earthquakes - especially that magnitude 9 in 2011 - and didn't like the fact that the house I bought there was 33 miles from the ushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant).

Funnily enough I'm not much into raw fish, which proved... problematic... whilst living there ;)

As anyone who's seen ready brek adverts from the 70's knows highly radioactive food is good for you.

That would be a problem, more so if you disliked noodles, or rice.
The thing with cold sake, it has to be a very good sake, the less expensive ones taste awful.

My only experience with sake was urm, unpleasant. It's like drinking olive oil :(

Now Japanese whisky though - some of that is actually pretty good stuff!
 
I had a single malt bottle brought back from Japan, very good, it has recently won global whisky awards, yet side by side taste test against single malt scotch, to me, the scotch won, hands down.

I don't know. You'd have to convince me. With a wide range of Japanese and Scotch whiskeys, in rigorous repeated sampling, over several evenings, in multiple varying conditions. :D




All in the name of science, of course.

Drunks of Sol approve!

Some single malts are extremely nice, some of them remind me of that stuff you get at the dentist :) Here in America, you get a lot of single malt snobs. They know absolutely nothing, and are best laughed at.

Hey QziQza, long time no see. And I'm not trying to get it merged, I was refuting his comments about trading.
