King DrunkWino

[quote name='LJ Scott' date='06 April 2010 - 08:37 AM' timestamp='1270557412' post='2250290'] I've raided two pretty large nations this week as a result of this. How does that make you feel? [/quote] Nasally congested. I'll leave the floor open for silly questions for a few more minutes if anyone wants to get anymore in.

After a year, I can claim somewhat of an expert knowledge of quite a few drugs. Even get advice from an excellent pharmacist that happens to be a friend of mine. My wife actually brings her over to gauge my dosing strategies. I think she might even be writing a paper on it.

This ain't CN for a bit kiddos. This is just the honest to goodness rambling of a DrunkWino. So, I've got this pain in my side. Put your finger on your belly button. Now go about 3/4 of the way to your hipbone. My pain is there. It feels like there is a very angry midget with a knife trying to cut his way out. Ever been to the doctors office and they ask you to rate your pain from 1-10. My !@#$ gets cranked up to 11. This is the 1 year and 1 month anniversary of the midget stabbing his way out and as you can imagine, it sucks major $@!. I've been to every kind of doc from ER docs to gastrointestinal, appendix surgery, all the way to pain management. Here's a hint folks, when you get sent to pain management, it's basically the docs waving the white flag cause they just don't farkin' know. I've been to a couple chiropractors and now am taking some physical therapy (basically to get me out of the house and active,) and acupuncture. The funny thing is that the acupuncture is a Chinese man who learned in China, got a job in Sweden and the job shipped him to the US. Anyway this guy is actually pretty sure he can do some good. The other funny thing about acupuncture is when you get the glass bowls on your back. Anyone who's tried acupuncture has probably had this done. What the guy does is heat up the rim of mini-fish bowls and sticks them on your back. When I say sticks I mean he works the bowl to get a seal on your skin. It looks like maybe an inch of skin gets sucked up in the vacuum. I'll have to remember to post picks sometime. It looks like I got in a major rumble with an octopus. Anyway, back to chronic pain. Man, I hate that term. They call it chronic but you'll get your $@! thrown in prison if you actually get some chronic. That doesn't bother me too much, after all I get good meds. Anyone who's had dealings with me in the past year, know that I was probably tanked up on Oxycontin. Seriously, I got pills to calm down the central nervous system, muscle relaxers I'm taking three times a day at max dosing. When that ain't enough (which is usually once or twice a day,) I got some hillbilly heroin to fall back on. I even have a cane I have to use because sometimes my right leg doesn't really work right. Cane, opioid based pain meds, and my mom even had lupis. I'm a real life House without the obsessive-compulsive puzzle solving needs. On the other hand, I do thing Lisa Edelstein has a pretty hot $@!. So why bore anyone with all this beyond typical attention slut (whores get paid after all and sluts work for free,) reasons. Admittedly not much, just thought if anyone wanted a peak inside the drugged up nutball behind the DrunkWino, here you go. On the other hand, this being the internet and this being a game that can get addicting and time eating, I think it's a safe bet there are a few of you out there that have your own medical conditions. Some may not be as bad and (hopefully not,) some might be in a not so good position. Maybe it'll help you to know there are more of us poor ****ed !@#$%^&* running amok. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to quiet my midget down. 2 oxycotin pills with a tequila chaser...followed by a few more hits of the tequilla chaser.* *Warning- You might not want to try that on your own. I have an unfortunate high tolerance for most of the good drugs, morphine don't do jack for me for example. Therefore I find the need to fortify modern medicine with some good old fashioned home remedies....at least that's what I tell myself.

[quote name='Prodigal Moon' date='06 March 2010 - 01:59 PM' timestamp='1267902264' post='2216135'] I honestly agree, mostly because I think joke terms are a bit humiliating, but it looks like you guys had fun with it. Well done indeed. [/quote] One players version of humiliation is just another players version of some good clean fun.

Methinks you'd be busy with other things. If not, I might suggest deleting that idea before someone comes along and decides to give you more to do.

I suppose it might be too late, but I hereby evoke my privilege as a [i]Cactus Emeritus[/i] to absolve James Dahl of any wrongdoing and state that it was a very fun idea.

[quote name='Omniscient1' date='26 February 2010 - 04:58 PM' timestamp='1267221723' post='2205377'] at least you got pizza. She could have let you argue with the people on the game until you starved to death. [/quote] Meh, must be newlyweds still.

It's a nice idea that won't really work. Points for effort though. /step 1 for a better CN: A bunch of people need to quit acting like they're in kindergarten. //If you read that and are experiencing a temper tantrum, I probably mean you.

[quote name='Ejayrazz' date='25 February 2010 - 01:02 PM' timestamp='1267121139' post='2203213'] Indeed, ALL the power to em', but I don't understand how this relates to me merely expressing an opinion? [/quote] It doesn't, at least I don't think. All this running in circles has me confused. I'm sitting out next dance and drinking a beer. Wanna review?

[quote name='Ejayrazz' date='25 February 2010 - 11:48 AM' timestamp='1267116699' post='2203129'] Indeed, but giving your opinion doesn't automatically mean we are trying to run anything. These are public halls, I am not saying anything along the lines of his opinion being inherently wrong, but rather me disagreeing with it. Not a big deal, bringing other topics up such as "He is running the alliance, not you" (paraphrase, also respectfulness has been acknowledge with your words) means little to nothing as it true, but pointless. And, as I stated, I understand we all have different opinions and though I respect it, I disagree with him and find it silly. We're dancing in circles here over nothing. [/quote] Of course we're dancing in circles over nothing. A topic doesn't get to 40something pages and 800+ replies unless it's a great big circle dance. Like I said though, even though both of us find this entire affair rather silly, it's quite obvious that it won't change the position of the NSO in it. Since Ivan is here saying that they freely accept the consequences without incessant whining, then as silly as I find it all I can really say is more power to 'em. /hell, if a freaking beer review was all that was holding this up and not that the NSO found that particular peace unappealing, [i]I'd[/i] do the damn beer review for 'em //and you can hold me to that

[quote name='Ejayrazz' date='25 February 2010 - 11:25 AM' timestamp='1267115331' post='2203103'] The problem is when someone accepts it without hesitation then returns a few hours later completely shocked that such a term was offered. Normally I would agree to your assertion, however when something is initially accepted then declined over the injustice, you think it would have been declined from the gecko, meaning I think there is more meaning behind it -- THAT is what has angered many people, not because of their different views. Ivan states him giving the word to his members mean something, but what about his words to foreign alliances in terms of peace? You are also stating they have the right to do as they please; I referenced that, however he is a seasoned player and although I would never infringe sovereignty on an alliance as they do as they please, I find it somewhat foolish to continue fighting over an issue which he initially agreed to. He has the right to be offended by such a term, I have the right to think it is a little silly, and for some reason, I do not feel unjustified in doing so. I am not making a revolutionary statement, I am merely disagreeing with him as he is disagreeing with myself. [/quote] Honestly, I haven't really kept up with all the back and forth over the past month so I really have no idea how the NSO/Fark negations went. So, as somebody with absolutely no knowledge of how it went down, I can only make some educated guesses. Let's say that Ivan and Fark are talking peace and Ivan says "Those terms sound fine with me only let me check with my members and see what they think." The NSO membership comes down with a resounding no and Ivan goes back to Fark and says "Sorry, I reject the terms." Now, I freely admit this is simple leaps of logic that could easily be wrong so nobody try to quote it as a factual account unless you like sounding like a moran. [quote]Ivan states him giving the word to his members mean something, but what about his words to foreign alliances in terms of peace? [/quote] What's more important to the leader of an alliance, his word to his followers of his word to others? I look at it like a leader has to take care of the wants and needs of his followers first and foremost. [quote]I find it somewhat foolish to continue fighting over an issue which he initially agreed to. He has the right to be offended by such a term, I have the right to think it is a little silly, and for some reason, I do not feel unjustified in doing so.[/quote] Honestly? I'm with your point of view here and think it's a little silly. We're not running the NSO though, so it really doesn't matter much.

[quote name='Ejayrazz' date='25 February 2010 - 11:01 AM' timestamp='1267113927' post='2203077'] SO because of an innocent beer review, you disregard it as humiliation and now you'll subject yourself to paying tech and money, or eternal fighting if you're too thick headed to fight? [/quote] Now that depends on your point of view like so many of the truths we cling to. In my case, I'd have no problem at all with writing a beer review. I've actually been tempted to work out a deal that I could war with Fark every couple of weeks just so I'd have an excuse to find new beers, get tanked on them, then write a typo-filled review. The thing about it is, that's just me. Even if a beer review is seen by 90% (just to throw that out there,) of the public as a fun harmless little thing, there's still that other 10% who see it differently. Does that make them wrong? No. Maybe the 10% see it as undignified or even too much of a OOC thing to be appropriate. There are many reasons that the 10% would find a beer review unacceptable. It doesn't make those folks wrong or thick headed. It just means they see the world differently. In the case of the NSO, it's pretty obvious that they're willing to fight on rather than do a beer review and that's their right to do. A person has any right that he/she is willing to accept the consequences for after all.

[quote name='Lord Zymeth' date='22 February 2010 - 11:11 PM' timestamp='1266898261' post='2198469'] Now you know why the people of Bob hate me so... At least one of the reasons of many more that I may or may not be aware of... [/quote] Maybe you do know this and maybe you don't. One of the perks of re-rolling is that you are now roleplaying another character, a different one than before. That is unless you id yourself as your old character. So, I'd say just hush up. Planet Bob doesn't hate your guts because planet Bob doesn't know who the heck you are. The bad news is thanks to this thread, we're learning.

I hate hearing of people leave the game in situations like this. I don't really blame you or GOONS, but damn, this kinda !@#$ sucks.

What's with the mad face? Drunk $%&@s need loving too. WHY DON'T YOU VALIDATE ME?!?!

Thanks, but I got it covered. Astronaut Jones is hooking me up. Seems he had a little problem from the sanction bug because he decided that this is a game and the point of a game is to have fun. He was good enough to look out for a brother even when somebody else decides his brand of fun isn't theirs. /Yeah, basically I'm taking the time to take a shot at the weenies who called sanction. Don't like it? Suck it.

No, me drunk.

My handle is DrunkWino and I pop pain meds like Pez. I even have a Oxycontin dispenser. So yes, it could have been written by the same person. Unless I have multiple personalities. In which case that sucks because both personalities are my idols.

Shut the $%&@ up you stupid !@#$%^&. Serious as a heart attack if a heart attack were popping opiates and washing them down with rum. I've even got the bum right leg. I am the real life House for all intents and purposes and one thing House got right is that everyone lies. You stupid !@#$@#$ halfwits that are either !@#$%*ing about or soon will be !@#$%*ing about reps need to step back and realize that you're !@#$@#$ morons. Is that clear enough for you or do I need to use more filtered words you dumb$%&@s? When reps get passed down that are meant to cripple an alliance, then you have real reason to talk. Until then, when token little pissant reps are given that are either symbolic or cover the damages the winner sustained in winning, the only !@#$@#$ thing you !@#$stains are doing is running your little traps, trying to sound all important. You know what that bothers me? You remember the story of the little jackass that cried wolf? Basically he cried so much that people decided that he was lying and dumb$%&@ got eaten by a wolf. That's you. You're whining and crying is basically annoying everyone and the result will be that when the really crippling reps show back up, nobody will care because they're sick of your !@#$@#$ whining. So do the ones of us that are actually against the crippling reps a favor and shut your damn holes. You're whining because you want attention. Maybe mommy didn't love you enough. I don't know and I don't give a $%&@. You're lying by saying that your crusade is all noble when all you want is attention and good press. Meanwhile, you don't give a $%&@ if you actually piss all over those of us that are sick of unreasonable reps and want them not to return. So again, shut the $%&@ up. Got a problem with it? $%&@ you.

The winner gets no rights that the loser doesn't give. If the loser says no, then the only thing the winner can do is continue to war. That might scare the stat whores and the newbies of an alliance, but anyone who's been around the block once or twice quite frankly doesn't really care all that much. Hell, they might look at it as a good time to reroll for better resources. The winner can force nothing upon the loser that the loser doesn't agree to. In that vein, the winner is really at the mercy of the loser. Funny ole world that way, isn't it?

The conqueror only becomes the conqueror at the consent of the conquered. The second that the conquered reseeds that right, then the conqueror becomes, well nothing to the conquered. So what you really mean is that the rights of the conqueror come only from the consent of the conquered. Which is why crippling reps mean very little in the scheme of things. Either the conquered decides that the conqueror has become too much of an $@! and tells them to $%&@ off, or the conquered decides that the conqueror isn't that much of an $@! and decides to simply take care of business before telling the conqueror to $%&@ off. Either way doesn't matter too much since it eventually ends with one party telling the other to $%&@ off. Until somebody finds a legal way to put a real gun to the head of the player of the character that's a member of an alliance, the rights of the victor come solely from the consent of the conquered.

I have no beef with simple reparations. It's the ones designed to cripple an alliance in the wild hope that most will leave than pay and eventually that alliance dies that I got beef with. Even if you despise a certain group of people, why the $%&@ do you think for a second that you can just bust them up? Honestly, it's a load of chicken**** and even though some folks that I might just like do it, it doesn't excuse it.

That's gonna be of a problem there Cupcake since you just happen to be one of the best at what you do.

If you ever have a need of somebody to run further testing on it, I'll help for a modest fee.

XD, I think the problem is there are lots and lots of Star Wars alliances and not many Star Trek ones. If there were a big enough Star Trek one, somehow I think that Ivan might let the NSO out to play for a week. Other fun wars that could happen include: IAA vs <any Republic themed alliance>, MK vs BTO (Mario vs Turtles,) The RIA vs. just about anyone for some randomly insane sounding reason, FOK vs TGE for some mythical European cup, That conservitive alliance vs FARK with the reason given as "Suck it libs," GOD vs CCC (although we already had that one,) and one from back in the day, IRON vs RHUST. I'm with ya. There are tons of ways that wars could be more frequent and a whole lot more fun if folk just broke the current endless cycle and broke loose with some fun.
