Sirus, on the other hand, is being increasingly rude. I thought you didn't care, dude?

He had a really bad day. He posted about that in the Rage thread.

Had?

Well, ain't this a great fucking Saturday.

Assigned to pick up a load 60 miles away in the opposite direction of my route. That's an extra 2.5 hours in transit time tacked on to my day. Then I arrive, discover that the load is not ready. Wait on hold for ten minutes, dispatcher tells me to sit and wait rather than just have me bring the empty trailer along to the trading point. Experience tells me that I will be here at least another hour, probably two unless they are having a slow day. No idling allowed on the property either, so thank fuck it is windy and somewhat cool today. And now I find out that my return load must be delivered rather than be brought back to the company yard, so that's another 30-45 minutes of work later tonight. I will be lucky to log out of work by midnight.

I wonder how many of the "yes" votes are actually FEF players

The rule with alien psionics is that if the aliens can see one of your soldiers, they can target all of them with psi.

I don't know why that's the rule, but it is.

That's fucking ridiculous.

It gets worse. After a certain number of turns (20, I believe), the aliens automatically know where all of your soldiers are and can psi them.

Re: Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies

Welcome to the entertaining world of Mockbusters. There's a company called The Asylum that specializes entirely in making incredibly shitty movies with titles close enough to actual popular movies that people pick them up by mistake, thinking they're getting the other one. This is actually their business plan.

Includes such gems as:
Snakes on a Train
Transmorphers: Fall of Man
The Da Vinci Treasure
AVH: Alien vs. Hunter
The Day the Earth Stopped

There's a full list on their wiki page including which movies they're ripping off.

The local video rental store (back when it was still open, anyway) had tons of those, along with some low-budget porn version of Pirates of the Caribbean. Just sitting on the shelf

Well it we're gonna go that far back...

Holy fuck I never even knew about that one O_o

Anyway, I still don't see a need for a sub-board. I'm guessing there are far more D&D games here in FG&RP and no-one's ever considered a sub-board for that.

Yeah, I highly doubt that. Count them if you want. I seriously doubt that the remotely active ones outnumber 33 (35?). You have enough threads to fill at least two pages.

What Blade said. Maybe half of those 33 threads are active at all, the rest are, just like the majority of the D&D games, dead or simply inactive.
Voted for Don't Care, because while I don't see the need for a sub-board I'm not going to be very perturbed if it happens.
