While We Wait: Part 2

[MjM]

Listen carefully Lurker,

You come to my HOME, insult my QUEENS, and bring the WHININGS of OTHER PEOPLES to my doorstep.

This is madness you say?
THIS IS THE NES FORUM

Good G-d in heaven, another 300 reference?

There's a reason I haven't seen that movie...

 

[Israelite9191]

Likewise. The more references I hear from it, particular that scene, the more hateful of it I become.

Back to discussing NESing - and updating, for some of you.

I have been thinking recently - shocking development, I know - and have decided to start off modding with a relatively simple NES. Once the map and timeline are done, who would be in for the Colonization NES I was toying around with earlier - the a planet is colonized, as a way to preserve humanity without earth's mistakes. However, some classic rivalries still exist. - With the map, I would divide it up into the different space agencies lands claimed. Then the agencies would break up, and you could form an existing nation (ie Iraq or a nation of an existing culture ie Kurdistan). I have a storyline in mind that would be posted in the preview. I would allow you to create your nation and pick an apprx. area, and then set up so that many nations are there. Any thoughts and people willing to play, or should I set it up as a normal cradle NES?

Update Race - random guesses
2) SB - first draft done
6) Iggy - before Thlayli
7) Thlayli - before Iggy - more time saying it will be done before iggy than doing update, from what I can tell.
3) MjM - Sunday
4) Hq - had problems with Brazil
5) Birdjaguar - computer fried
1) Niklas - pms almost done, would be gone if not for

300 - Never seen it. Wanted to at first, but decided against it. Dont regret it at all. Anyways, most people have seen it thrice by now but dont want to go again.

It really is a good movie, I couldn't resist.

If I had to choose the single thing (beyond food and shelter) that everybody wants more than anything else, it would be "to feel welcome". Welcome in their family, at achool, among people their age, at work, and at play. Nothing in this world is as powerful in providing for the welfare of another person. We all want it and yet have no qualms about denying it to others. Being denied "welcome" is in fact a root cause of many of the world's woes. It begins with strangers and can only take place between individuals. We failed tonight to make lorgen feel welcome when he came to our door.

Either colonization or normal cradle would be interesting: perhaps colonization would be more novel at this point. However, if it were colonization, then they would no doubt have seen the entire planet, so there would be little sense in making a cradle.

300 - Never seen it. Wanted to at first, but decided against it. Dont regret it at all. Anyways, most people have seen it thrice by now but dont want to go again.

Sounded like a mutilation of history, so I didn't watch it.

I put forth my best efforts, but he ignored them. After a while of watching insults fly I blew a gasket.

I hath failed.

I'm not regretful. As much as i like helping people, i HATE pretentious people that much more.

This sounds interesting. There is a good chance I would join, as long as it isn't a cradle.

 

[Swissempire]

I support colonization, no cradle.

Tolerance everyone. The argument with Lorgen was just a lashing out between people both becomign convinced they've been insulted, then extending into real insults.

I'd hate to give the impression that our forum is hostile and unwelcoming. People won't stay and twist NESing into something we don't like. If they don't enjoy NESing, they'll leave. Cutting off our influx of new NESers is the best way to condemn our little culture.

Wow, I was at a cabin for almost a week and Niklas didn't manage to finish his update. What a lot of waiting.

While I wait, I'd like to ask Isry what convinced him to mention the "blasphemous personality cult" in his user title.

It is very much a mutilation of history. But it's fun to watch. I mean, admittedly, I spent half the movie sitting there going "Oh, come on! That did not happen, and the other half cheering like all the other blokes in the cinema. It's engaging, in a horrifying, soul-destroying way.

Colonisation sounds interesting, j_eps. I'd prolly play it, in my usual haphazard, hardly capable, confusing and defeatist way.

tell me about it

Spoiler :

so should I switch or stay just a tad longer for the sheer point of screwing everyone else up?

 

[Oruc]

Should have just left Abaddons nes in the other forum.

 

[jeps]

What I meant is that it could either be colonization or cradle, but not both, Obviously if you are advanced enough to colonize a planet you are advanced enough to have sattelites showing you what it looks like.

But I will do the colonization one.

 

[Azale]

You do realize that guy told you to go to hell right? He is the FIRST newbie who has ever acted like this. Screw him.

Abaddon's NES should be in...the NES forum. Just like sports topics don't stay in OT for very long.

@j eps, colonization!

@Lorgen
Good riddance, there is no need for close minded bigots whom judge a community by the interactions they had with a few members here.
