Is there a good macross? The original show doesn't do it for me.
I'll be honest, I kinda' liked the Robotech books.

On the bright side, the tobacco industry's thriving.
Silly darvi, m'pretty sure pipe-weed would be illegal in the states. Tolkien apparently occasionally called it tobacco, but it's also notably psychoactive.

[...]it gives patience, to listen to error without anger.

What I'm saying is that stuff is probably closer to weed. All hobbit immigrants would bring would be jails full of short people.

Hoohoo, yeah, "would_be_in_prison_if_poor = true". Stick a fork in the guy, he's done. Nevermind it's because of a shitty prison system, I don't think the general public is going to give a damn there.

Thanks for the article, though.

He added that the public might come to see Richards sentence as the result of  “how a person with great wealth may be treated by the system.”
Haha wow no shit. That is ex-freaking-actly how the public is going to see this.

Okay, what needs to happen is that Rito needs to remove Dominion or TT and keep this as a permanent gamemode.

That there are people willing to do that kind of arguing for pages and pages doesn't necessarily speak to whether they were enjoying it, so much as whether they were under the impression that it would be possible to "win" the argument which they had engaged in, and that doing so would have positive rather than negative consequences.
It... doesn't even mean that. People have been willing to take some time off (if that -- it's a lot easier to play and type than it used to be. I know I was waiting for some turns to finish processing while I was typing some of th'stuff I threw in) from games to talk about them since games were a thing. Not because they want to "win" or anything. Just because they like talking about video games. I enjoy playing video games enough I'm willing to shoot the shit a 'lil in the down time, or while m'doing something else, y'know? And then there's other reasons, o'course.

Look earlier in the thread :P

Brought roughly the same thing up around the bottom of the first page ('least so far as default posts/page goes).

It's been popping up something like at least once or twice a year since, uh. Since I joined, I think.

Better is Turmoil 2, oddly enough. You get less events, but turmoil 3 has a great deal of nasty events that get enabled (either that or gain much higher likelihood... it was one of the two). I run 2T/3L quite often. Nearly the same amount of glorious random events, considerably less barbarian invasions.

The closest thing to a problem with the ultrabless is that most of the nations that don't get crippled by scales that bad don't really have the sacreds to pull off a bless strat. The exception might actually be LA Ermor in D4, though. Consuls are freaking beasts* even without a bless. Though that's more an "SCs SCs everywhere" strat than your conventional bless strat. Sorta' like Jotun occasionally does with those big frost giants, iirc.

*They're basically half cost, zero research wraith lords.

I, uh. I've enjoyed more SEED fanfiction than I have episodes. Do think I managed to get through most of the first season (Season thing, anyway.) when it was on TV with a missed episode here and there and, just. Ah. I can't really remember it, other than a vague sense of "I don't want to." Something about a red (pink?) haired psychopath and other junk? Details fuzzy.

Nooo, no. Tiru read his sentence carefully. When you're on voice chat and someone says "no mic" ...

Haha, oh yes. Several of the shields are kinda' incredible, and the eyeloss one is one of the earliest ones available. Excellent on defensive critters for just ruining entire armies, heh.

Unless you're talking about disciples, having a dominion with a minor Earth bless will do nothing for the pretender's survivability.
*blinks* Oh... odd. For some reason, my memory was telling me there's some way to get reinvig via caster levels. Do believe that was a mistake on my part, yeah.

Though it would do a little, ha. E levels come with some prot :P

I can confirm through anecdotal evidence that the lions don't cause the pretender to rout. Besides, with 30 Morale and more than twice the HP of the lionesses, would it even be a problem?
If it counts, it counts. Autorout is autorout. But yeah, if they're not enough to trigger the HP threshold it probably wouldn't be an issue. Was operating under the assumption they did and were sufficient, heh.

If it doesn't, then not so much of a problem. Doesn't help the poor lass much, but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

China had Lü Bu. I think I speak for all right minded individuals when I say that is all that needs to be known.

I don't understand what this is supposed to communicate.

That's become pretty clear over the course of the thread.
If it helps any, the implied question behind Glyph's statement was "Would you clarify?" Which... I wouldn't mind m'self, since that's a pretty ambiguous statement, and I'm fairly sure Glyph's trouble is more with your method of communication than the concept you're trying to communicate.

Regardless, I don't think humans need to be a monolith (assuming such words mean roughly what I take them to) for the metric to give a decent idea of whether the industry is getting better or worse at doing its job. I'd be quite happy to see other metrics, though, if you or others would be willing to provide.

E: Totes agree it's not the best measurement in the world, but there hasn't exactly been much in the way of alternatives proposed, sooo...
