Random Rants XXXIX: Coming up with a title is stressful

[Takhisis]

It's England's revenge for first dumping them IRL and now dumping them on the game as well!

CFC is more down than up .

 

[shadowplay]

Database errors!

 

[GenMarshall]

The site died.

The site died.

I blame the free CivV weekend bringing in the n00bs, clogging up the already stressed server.

Fix yer servers Thunderfall!

Forum problems again?

I thought it was the storms in the area bleeping up my internet, but....

Rant: For some reason, the site problems coincided with storms in my area, and thus made me think my entire internet was down.

You accidentally included the question mark into the link.

I have no idea what people are talking about, which makes me think it's the number of people online (since I'm on when most people on this site are asleep).

I feel sick and have to do a presentation tomorrow. Also I accidentally italicized this post and can't be bothered removing it.

Why so obsessive? Just go and do something else.

Why so obsessive? Just go and do something else.

Personally I agree but not really the point. Everyone has different passions/obsessions and I doubt either you nor I would view things as casually if OUR favorite thing was taken away.

So we must stand solid behind CivGeneral to fight the good fight against the crap servers

It is generally good practice to advocate reliable servers on a site you frequent rather than go "Meh, I have loads of other things to do. To Hell with CFC!"

Buying some Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries at the store, a thought came to mind. Why can't people ever realize that the word "ultimate" does not mean best, but last? Where the hell do you think we get the term penultimate from? That does not mean "close to best", it means "close to last" damn it!

So yeah. Use ultimate correctly.

 

[DroopyTofu]

They're the last to die?

 

[salty mud]

ultimate [uhl-tuh-mit]

noun

the best, greatest, or most extreme of its kind.

Your argument is invalid. English is famous for having one word with many different meanings.
