State of the Game

[Fishy]

Has it been swarmed and destroyed yet?

There's a commendable effort by CMDR @Erei to keep it alive, but it's still petering out.

Yeah they had the whole emoticon thing perfectly nailed back then.

I guess they had to with so few able to read.

Nt lyk nw, innit.

 

[Erei]

I think my hometown was originally called "morons in the damp"
If not, they missed a trick.

Just checked, mine was apparently called "Limonum".
Which mean citrons.

We are not known for citrons. I don't think they'd even grow. We do melons.

Rubbish, I had a BX, ZX, XM and a C4...

That's about the current/new console. You have to wait a few weeks, at least, for the one about "old" gen console. Where the real drama is at.

Citroen is dutch for citrons. Not latin. Try to keep up.

Q.E.D.

don't worry - exploring is dangerous enough

they almost could have made it a tiny bit dangerous but they made the plasma loops too small so that you have to really really try to scoop low enough and in their direction to risk colliding with one

i'm pretty sure the game is being run by someone who hates the game and all it's players. doesn' seem like so many decisions in how things get implemented can be done so by accident.

Sorry, my Grammar School latin was 50 years ago... I don't use it much these days apart from writing fake prescriptions...

Wouldn't 'Road to Nowhere' be more appropriate in this thread?

Do you? I only know you for 732 because history lessons in primary school. After that...

Some are still worth remembering. If you say it in latin, it's suddenly 50% more clever, even when it's stupid.
For example :
"asinum asinus fricat" (the donkey rubs donkeys). Which is a way to say "the stoopid stay together" AKA the modern

And "in vinas veritas". The truth is found in the wine.

And "in vinas vino veritas". The truth is found in the wine.

Fabulous! Also the DS (3).....

...swoons...

Fun fact: My hometown is to blame for having to mess about with stupidly small bottles of shampoo in your hand luggage following a terrorist plot in 2006.

It's great for cursing too.

I sometimes can't decide if I use latin or Klingon to spew a good insult

I always liked 'Bibo Ergo Sum'.

I Drink Therefore I Am.

Yes, really!
