TNT voted yes to amendment 2.4 after it was a done deal. Gee that was bold after nuts abstained and MIA and we voted yes. I really wanted to post "Nice, anybody on TNT got cajones?" Apologies to our female members, but igor is a neanderthal.

Please join me in hoisting your beverage of choice in celebration of the venerable one's birthday. Said occassion does not take place until 3/16 but I thought I'd get an early start. This national holiday is typically celebrated by donning green undergarments and running amok on or with a cape. this year it will be celebrated to coincide with St. Patrick's Day. :beer:

I've been nerding out on space stuff lately. For those of you in the ~Middle East or Northern Africa.. There is a TOTAL elcipse (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEmono/TSE2006/TSE2006.html)coming your way on March 29. I really wish that I could fly to North Africa or Turnkey to watch it. For those of us in North America, there is a Total Eclipse that will happen in Aug 21, 2017 (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEplot/SEplot2001/SE2017Aug21T.GIF)that will cut across the US.

Also there is a big concern among amateur (and I presume professional) astronomers about light pollution. There is a website that is trying to get some reports about Orion and how many stars you can see in that constellation. Go to the GLOBE's website (http://www.globe.gov/GaN/index.html) and report how many stars you can see.

Yeah, it's gonna be just above 50% here :cool: .
But I don't think light pollution is a big concern in N Africa. :hmm:

If I was as close as you are I would take off and drive to where I could see the totality.

btw, the light pollution was another train of thought in Tubby's train station of Thoughts (TM)

The MIA build pattern is starting to p me off. The time has come to start gathering the clan for the war to end all wars.

This is for discussion, but how bout we put a couple of trebs into our border towns and then build the offensive forces?

MIA has had a free ride so far on the wars. Let's ask them to declare on TNT and then make peace with TNT in a PC manner.

Let's also, in a sweet lovable way, ask nuts what they want for war with MIA

TNT Practicing Biological warfare on the idiots:

Originally blogged by Tubs (sorta):

It was time to put youngling Rower to bed and Mrs. Rower went to get her some water. It's all a bit fuzzy but we noticed a HUGE wasp looking thing up by the fan. I told her to take the youngling and put her to bed (I was going to do it). I didn't let them get near the kitchen after I saw it. Youngling Rower has been bitten by a wasp already and she didn't even fuss. But this thing was monsterous and I didn't want to take any chances.

So after they were in the bedroom with the door closed and reading books, I started hunting for a can of bug spray. I never found it. So I started trying to figure out what to kill it with. I got the fly swatter and thought "well if this doesn't work I want something in my other hand". Then fell off the chair. So I got the dust pan out too and put it on my head for protection. So here I am in my kitchen with a flyswatter in one hand, a dustpan on my head and a huge bug on my fan. As I move closer my heart started getting faster because I noticed the wasp had neon yellow letters on it's back. After the thing took flight, my heart was racing because I saw the letters said Dinsog Bug Works.

I swatted at it with the swatter. Bah! It's like King Kong swatting at the airplanes, never would I hit him. After a quick offering to the Meleet, I remembered I killed half of a nest of carpenter bees (the size of bumble bees) when I put out our new mailbox. So I was in good form. I swung and with the first swing the collosus flew accross the room, hit the wall and landed on the floor. I used the dust pan to pin him down and looked at him. Then I broke him so he couldn't fly. I thought that I killed him and then I put him in a plastic bag just in case I didn't. As I type this the thing is trying to escape the bag. Anyway, I did some research on what my foe for this evening was and it turns out to be the Ovorp Hornet. It's the only true hornet native to the other continent.

Interesting editing job, AK! :lol: So this is how fact becomes legend, huh? ;)

Now if each of you tell it based off of the previous person's interpretation, then it would be legend.

We're still waiting for Eldar and Minuteman to get here.

It appears that this game begain in 10/2005. How many PBEM games has KISS completed?
Actually, this game began earlier than that. I found my original "I'm Here" post dated August 10, 2005. I believe we were already on turn 7 or 8, and I was as totally lost then as you feel now, jb. The answer is zero completed. :p

I think this is the first MTDG that K.I.S.S. has played as a team, and it seems like it was the first time ever for this type of game on CFC. I'm not sure if the idea originated at Apolyton with inter-site games. Whomp or Tubby could probably give you more background.

If it wasn't for the anarchy I would never have played. I just can't get into the whole idea of government in Civ. I really like this anarchy stuff though.

I've self banned myself from other demogames cause I can't take the legalese.

OMG: have we really been at this for six months? :lol: scouts been slacking :)

Turn 1 was played on July 30th so we're approaching ten months. To put that in prospective: Tubby's kid was probably conceived after the game started.

@Bugs - I LOVED your reply to Donsig's comment that he wasn't appreciated!!! :lol: Maybe we should name him Team KISS "MVP", huh?

MVP - Perfect! I was going to name him our top field commander :salute:

@Bugs: I just read your comments in "Recent Developments"....and I think that was just...

Wrong.

Very, VERY funny, but wrong. :lol:

OK, so send me out to the woodshed. The man is such a whiner. I've seen guys step on themselves with old-fashioned golf shoes and do less damage than that idiot did to TNT. Other than Dinsog, can you name me one person who would send a SOD like that one forward?

He did a better job managing our war effort then even you did.

OK, so send me out to the woodshed. I'll do nothing of the sort. You were not "wrong" for saying it. It's just "wrong" that it should be so true, and so dad-gum funny! :lol:

You did nothing wrong... it was just so right that it was... just wrong, man. :cry:

I'm with Scout, Bugs.

How could it be so wrong, when it feels so right, because you (Bugs) light up my life...

Well I think that I'll be able to catch up on everything.... I'm back at work and am SUPPOSED to be at my computer. Whereas at home for the past couple weeks, I was NOT supposed to be at the computer. So hopefully after I read everything I can contribute a little more.

OK, here is a philosophical question;

Would it be cool it I started a thread here in KISS land about my band's CD?

My idea is to post the link to the website where we will have streaming audio. Then you guys can listen to it and give me feedback. i.e. - Song 1 stinks, song 2 is OK, but I really dig song 3. That kind of stuff.

What do you think?

I would rather have teammates give me feed back than the general public if the stuff stinks.

You have some very musical folks here Bugs. SW spins, Daghie has his own band and most all of us like music...a lot.
I'd dig it if you put it up here. :band:

I'd love the opportunity to hear you. No amount of talking about music can replace actually listening to it. :)

Great idea Bugs. If your stuff stinks? Well, Phil Rudd of AC/DC fame put it like this:

OK, I'll start a separate thread. I hope the mods will keep it just in Team KISS and not move it like they did Simon's word game.

If you put game related stuff in it, they'd likely just lock the topic if it gets too spammy. If it has 51% relative matter I think that you are ok.

well i dunno why it got moved when it has been allowed elsewhere but i spoke to the mods about it and not heard much back yet.

I dunno why either. Some of my responses were definitely meant for this group to see only, like "inconceivable -----> birth control". And the stuff about my being born in 4001bc or 3500bc was just an inside joke for this group. I'm a bit embarrassed to have the whole board reading it. :blush:

Thats a bad indication of my question...I know it's silly, but should I change my name to just "ansar"?

Mods: please delete if this is spam.

Well you can't spam but post what you'd like and we'll let Rik Meleet decide. We talk about a lot of junk as you can see.

should I change my name to "ansar"? no "the King"?

1. These are discussions between teammates. these discussions build esprit d'corps.

2. I'd go with just Ansar.

I agree with Bugs on both points. I like Ansar as a simple name to use, and nobody else has it.

So far as the esprit d'corps is concerned, the somewhat off-topic conversations bring me closer to my team mates. As I get to know the other members of our team better, I care more about them and how we fare as a group in the game. Just discussing builds or unit moves wouldn't likely accomplish that.

in the spirit of non-related questions....

Should I wear jeans or khakis to work? I have to wear long pants due to ... well I guess we're a manufacturing plant so I'm going with safety. Jeans are supremely comfortable after wearing them for 3+ days without washing and durable. Well-fitting khakis are comfortable but will get dirty more. Also they will force people to ask me "Who died?"

I was told by my 1st boss that it doesn't reflect well on me to wear hole-y tee-shirts that I got for giving blood in college so I have to wear a collared shirt. I was upset at this one.

:shake: Issues. Just put on your granimals and get to work. :cool:
