Remember guys, if we choose one of the moons, we have to choose between terraforming it or just digging in and creating an underground colony there.

We don't have to colonize the moon, just use its resources to aid us in colonization of the planet. Besides, it would be ridiculous to try to move an appropriate amount of water up TO the moon...

Comets. They are useful.

EDIT: And demonic spoons avatar would be very appropriate.

The main selling point of buying a game instead of stealing it is that you get it quick and easy.

Oddly enough, this is the main reason I buy games on services like Steam rather than buy them in a store. Downloading Civ 5 only took about 38 minutes, during which I was also streaming a movie and I think my girlfriend was doing some other stuff. Once it is purchased, I don't have to keep up with the DVD or the serial key as well.

Personally, I find the main point of buying a game instead of stealing it is that you get the game legally.  Ya know, the knowledge that you won't be hit with a massive-scale copyright lawsuit with a $2000 dollar settlement. 


But yes, digital downloads are an incredible thing. I have a filing drawer full of the various CDs, manuals, etc. that I accumulated over the years. There was a time when I was constantly swapping CDs (and often decided which game to play based on what was already in the drive, lazy me!). The only time I've reached into that drawer in the last 2.5 years was once to reinstall WC3. The lack of CDs and connected serial keys alone is enough to convert me to digital distribution, never mind the automatic installation of patches.

Of course, if your internet is slow and your bandwidth low, I can see downloading Civ V to be a real pain in the rear. So, to those people, I say: "Umm, sorry!" 

If a company goes under, you're fucked.

Blah blah no-cd crack blah blah.

I dont think Valve is going under any time soon.

Geothermal activity is good for power generation and might bring up useful minerals.

Are we running on a deadline?

Zoom in on that dot in the upper-right of the planet.

You could use some RNG on the internet, like http://www.random.org/.

My lack of good observation rolls is quite disconcerting. 3 rolls and the only better roll has been only 1 number higher. And the others exactly the same as the vs rolls.

Definetly not going to the guildhouse. Staying in this place would be rather suspicious too, gonna have to find a place less expensive too. There should be no suspicion of a technomancer looking for shelter with this weather too.

Personally I think you should read the thread. I think someone would catch it if you started metagaming too much.
