Neither of you could be bothered to read page 40?

I just tallied last years numbers from the announcements, you might note that febuary last year was roughly the same as this one as well, so this seems like a decent life to many at first, but I can't say I've ever checked rent in toady's area..

I'm personally living for 10800 a year roughly, but that isnt considering my tuition of 3000.
my own rent is 550 a month, I spend 100 dollars in groceries a month and have 250 spending money.
Serves me pretty well given my active life style, I do often buy things on a whim, but I dont smoke, I drink cheap if at all, and my electricity and internet are inclusive to my rent.



I'll do that now actually, for a decent bacholer pad if I can find it, but if someone actually knows his actual rent disregard this.
Also does he have a car? I don't so I save bundles already there.

Looking at rents in his area here http://www.rentals.com/Washington/Bremerton-Silverdale/
I have come to a rough figure of 825$ a month for renting a fairly modest but comfortable place. (But what if he has a mortgage?)

$32516.44
-$9900.00
$22616.44
Anyone from the area have a rough grocery bill?
Insurance for the home?
Does he have any medications or health issues?
How much furniture does scamps tear up on him?
Car Insurance (if he has a car, and if not, bus pass or taxi fees?)
Does he travel anywhere out of town?
What does toady do for fun, and how much does it cost him?
Old loans to pay off?
How much can he put away for a rainy day?
How much can he put away for retirement?

If you factor that all in, money can disappear very fast.
I dont need to worry about the majority of those expenses, which is why I can afford living on $10800, and why other young people like me in college, can afford to do so.
Considering how talented he is, how much of a following he has, and all those other factors, he could be working for some big game company as a programmer making around $80000 more than the $32500 quite easily.

Anyone who thinks he is tossing our money around and not giving anything back to us is simply a fool.

I'm going to make a donation now myself, and it will be the best 20 bucks I've ever spent.

edit: I think I might also make a new thread about this to show more people the rough funds I've calculated.

TROLL.

I'll say.

I find it more of a challenge when you dont have everything you need or want.
I try to find very flat areas. I am currently on a map which seems devoid of stone other than that in my stream and waterfall.

Cleared hundreds of trees for farmland and have made above ground houses in crazy manner.

Building a fortress entirely out of water. (Yes Water)

It's possible to make the walls via massive floodgate useage and mechanisms.

I actually ran out of stone at one point, was really weird.

DF Multiplayer would require its own seperate client based off the games sourcecode.. which I doubt will be released for some fair time, as toady hasnt even told us what all the personality skills do yet.


I'm no expert programmer or anything, but I Do have my hand in it now and then. The console would have to control a diff civ than the regular which would be patched to act as the games server, controlling all the placement of the units on the grid most likely through memory editing, as I do not believe npc's can as yet be designated to do tasks.. but in the case they are that would make it even easier. as you'd only have to mirror the designations and commands. 
Designations would be client side of course, as server side would cause jumbles of dwarves fighting kobolds for building walls, resulting in spam job cancellations.

I used to play brass.
Any chance for a baritone/trumpet/trombone? (all are written the same)
