  1. I wouldn't take Salithus for his word on that, Uralica. Usually when someone is beaten they will look for any excuse that they can find, fabricate or exaggerate to attempt to help them dig themselves out of the tight spot they fell into. (i.e: TBB)

    However I don't know anymore than you and the rest of the bystanders on the OWF so I can't be certain. But I can be sure of it.

    Actually, GOONS did touch on this somewhat on OWF in response to my post there. I have to wonder if sal will try posting a rebuttal to that in the thread. Either way, it really wasn't much of an excuse for taking the forum down. But, this is CN. I've seen forums DDoSed for less. (Ionizer did this to Macedonia because they cut him loose after he attacked my then-alliance mate Giant Jellyfish in CCC after I had just started playing. Imagine housing two alliances on one forum :P)

    And please, call me Jarkko. :)

  2. As much as I don't like tech-raiding, I must say, the results of this one were quite inspiring.

    As someone whose nation suffers from acute gephyrophilia, I also agree with this line :P

    Simply look at any stable truss bridge. Are the beams configured in the shapes of squares? No. The bridge would be weak if they were. They are configured, in fact, in the shape of a triangle, the perfect shape.

    I know the engineers behind Uralica's longest truss bridge, the Volga Narrows Bridge, would praise The Director for his correct assessment of the perfect truss beam.

  3. Also, did anyone else notice that apparently 300 million soldiers were brought back to life between the Karma War and TPF War? :blink:

    (the Karma War picture shows 4.3 billion dead, but in the TPF picture it's just over 4 billion)

    And then again, the picture of the height of the TOP-C&G War shows 6.9 billion dead, but if you check the stats today it's only at 6.6 billion. Some kind of bug in the casualty counter?

    edit: just realized, it probably just adds up the total casualties of all current nations. So when people with high casualty counts are deleted, all those brave fallen soldiers are wiped out of existence. :P

    I think the count is based on extant nations, meaning that when a nation deletes, its casualties go with it, so to speak.

  4. Dont get me started on idiots behind the wheel.

    Way to get me started. :P

    I was stuck behind a slowpoke once, and this wasn't the bad thing - the bad thing was her coming to a complete stop to let a bus in and leaving me with my rear end in the intersection with the light changing.

    On the Trans-Canada just coming into Langford (a borough of Metro Victoria) some idiot decides to basically hang a left turn into nowhere, so here I am in the left lane of the highway behind this git, and I had to slam on my brakes. So I just rail on the horn.

    Also, 50% Island drivers do not know the meaning of "STOP." Lights are fine, but when it comes to signs, they treat them like "Yield" signs. I don't care if you're in the back of the line or the front of a line or all by yourself. The sign means "stop." Completely.
