Barbed wire is more effective than one might think, if used in large coils. If we had a large amount of it for some reason, I would saw we should use it as a basic perimeter until a better wall could be made. If we had guards on duty, we'd be fine, since it would take Z's a while to get through it.

I won the Apple Design Award. Who's up for a party?

Damn, never would have thought me buying that app would give money to a tifer. Plus I'd be pretty happy with 700$ a day, I barely get 100 when I'm working. -
You accidentally ran over some animals. No, you're not. Simple as that.

Going to shower in my shared bathroom, and the shower has patches of water all over from where the last person showered. I don't know why but it just irks me.

More than good, I have a connection that ranges from 50-150kb/s down, 30-50kb/s up, and I only lag when its in the 50 range for down.

The bad only outweighs the good based on opinion. I know several people in my school who have a 3.9 or 4.0 gpa, are athletic, and smoke weed, and a few 40+ year olds who are in perfect health and have since they were in their teens.

I believe an argument for this is that when these activities are done, only fun arises, no health problems or death. However, when you smoke pot, correctly :| , the health problems are unavoidable. If you use a vaporizer, the problems are mostly avoidable. If it's illegal because it can harm you, why isn't cutting oneself illegal, why isn't oh I don't know, going into the woods and eating rocks illegal. Why isn't war illegal?

The gateway drug argument has been proven false countless times. Pretty much the only people who still preach about it are the government sponsored programs that have not changed since like, the 60s, despite any new research that comes up. Ritalin is a lot worse than a lot of illegal drugs, yet we prescribe it to children. Caffeine is far more addictive than marijuana, and the "withdrawal" is much worse. As for the argument that marijuana is harmful, and causes health issues, why do we allow rock climbing, hang gliding, sky diving, swimming, diving, boxing, wrestling etc. all of those are for enjoyment and have caused infinitely more deaths than pot.

If he confronts you, here's what I would do. Ask him why he's against it. He might tell you it's bad for you, explain how it's not. Or the bad effects are negligible. If he says it's illegal, whatever, ask him if he never did anything illegal in his life, tell him nothing bad came from it, etc.

Damn. Just found the perfect revolver. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/ ... sFirearm=Y 10 rounds, shoots .22 bullets, them most common bullets in the world. 10 bullets is approaching a clip size, and if you use a speedloader you can carry the equivalent of clips.

Hugs are good. They always make me feel better. Banning serious PDA I can see, but even just a quick kiss is fine. I personally don't care if I see two people making out, but I can understand people being tentative about that.
-
It has more kick, but more power, which doesn't matter too much but it means the bullets weigh more. The bullets are pretty common. Reload is slower, but not to bad if you use speedloaders. I'd say it's ok as a sidearm, seeing as it's reliable, and that's what you need. I think the bullets might be sharable with some rifle too.

I awoke, the sun was rising. I was well rested but still hungry, and I hadn't had anything to eat since the few berries the night before. I walked through the tall grass, in search of more food of some sort, but found nothing suitable. On the verge of giving up, I spotted a strange tree, on it were greenish fruit like things. Most of them had been eaten off the tree, and the remains of them were lying on the ground, so I figured there was a good chance that they would not be poisonous to humans. I ate as many as I could, then picked two more, and held one of the awkwardly shaped fruits in each hand. I was terribly thirsty, so I started to head north towards the swampy areas. The water wasn't as clean as the river, but it would do. I jogged there, and in 10 minutes I was at the edge of the water. There were a few islands in the swampland, and the water seemed to be clearer and cleaner as I got further north, closer to the river, so I hopped from island to island till the water was almost the same quality as the river. I knelt down to drink from the water, when I heard what sounded like footsteps walking through the swampy terrain.

Some animals are pretty intelligent, elephants are, so are dolphins, and some primates. But, I don't think we're superior to animals, we just happen to be at the top of the food chain. We have truly dominated the planet for no more than a few thousand years, though I imagine we are the first species of animal to control the entire planet, do to our ability to adapt to different environments. Grass also dominates the entire world, but it's not an animal. On the topic, I'm glad my state has already legalized it, and am glad to know others are following us and those who legalized it before us.

Ambassador makes it too hard for engineers, in my opinion. It's all too easy for a spy to sap, then without having to worry about getting behind the engy to backstab, just fire the gun twice and kill them. Only time I ever really fail with that is if the teleporter kills me if I accidentally walk onto it, or if the engineer gets a critical wrench hit.
-
Whenever I pissed off an engineer so many times that he switched to a pyro, he would spend five minutes flaming the area where I was. I would be halfway across the map by then, so it didn't matter.
-
Here's what would usually happen. Before I start, I'm just saying you need to know the map (Orange x3) to understand some of the places I mean. I would go to the far corner of the courtyard area outside their base, headshot a sniper or two if possible on their second point, then go invisible, and move away from where I was before angry snipers with jarate spawned and came at me. There are like 4 spots on that map where you will almost never be found if you're hiding with the cloak and dagger. The easiest of those spots to get to are on top of the wall at the 2nd point, and on the far edge of the platform outside of their spawn room. If you look at how many kills I got, it was something like 1.4 kills per minute, which isn't that much compared to what a good sniper can get on that map. You just do this for a long time. Move every time you finish killing, otherwise they will run over and find you. Spychecking wasn't an issue because I was always invisible except when shooting, and I made sure that no one else was looking towards me when I started shooting. Also, I wasn't in areas that where they usually stand. Another easy kill to get is headshotting engineers on the ramps of the tower, they never figure out where you are before you kill them, and by the time they come back your hidden enough that you won't be found. On a normal map this wouldn't be possible, since this one is way more open. But this map also has 32 players constantly, so it's not like it's empty.
-
It was just about not taking any risks and knowing where to hide. Also the snipers on my team were truly amazing, (Anyone ever played with/against a sniper named shou'? The guy's ridiculous) which made it harder for them to kill me. The only reason this tactic works is because the cloak and dagger makes you invisible for as long as you want, pretty much.

I have never been on an achievement server. It was just going into a corner, headshotting 1 or two people with the ambassador, cloaking and doing it again once they stopped looking for me. It was on a map where it never ends unless all the points are capped which is why it lasted so long. The way I ended up dying was a spying firing randomly and getting a lucky headshot on me when I was trying to escape when invisible. EDIT: It was on the no heroes server orange x3. It's basically a really open map, which is why its so easy for me to do what I did.
-
Well, on a full server (the second most popular on pc, I believe) I managed this. That was fun.

I'm pretty sure it can only spread human-human.

AIDS started fairly recently, compared to other diseases. No one had it before then, how did it start?
-
Spy is now my best class. The ambassador combined with the cloak and dagger is ridiculous. My new record for kills in 1 life as a spy is in the 20s, I don't remember the exact number. Anyhow, the fact that the spy can snipe makes it kind of overpowered, but a sniper is still a better sniper, obviously. Sneaking behind their lines, finding a nice convenient spot to headshot a few people is fun, then cloaking and going invisible for as long as it takes for them to stop looking for me.

I get sick on spinning rides. Not like throw-up sick, but nauseated. Never on roller coasters. I've gone sky diving, and bungie jumping, and on some of the fastest/ biggest roller coasters in the country. I don't get sick doing those, but spinning rides affect pretty much everyone. Roller coasters are different. If you need to, just look at the ground of the place where your sitting, and concentrate on something else. If it's a floorless rollercoaster, close your eyes or something.

The moon was high in the sky when I awoke. I had rolled off the rock sometime as I slept, and was now stomach down in the sandy riverbank. It was lucky I hadn't rolled into the river, who knows how that would've ended. I was a bit better rested, but I was hungrier than ever. If only my pistol had survived whatever had happened to me, or my knife, anything. I looked for something I could eat, an animal, berries, anything. Across the river was a marshy area, land just barely higher than the river. Though it was in the distance, the light from the moon illuminated it. I could see some movement flickering across the land, maybe an animal. The river was maybe 500 feet across. I could swim it, I thought. If I angled myself correctly the river's current would pull me in the right direction. I dove into the water, angled myself down the river, but in the direction of the marshy area, and swam with all my might. With the help of the current, I was able to reach the edge, though I was drained of what little energy I had left. I dragged myself up onto the beach. Any sign of the animal I had seen was gone, but something else caught my eye. A bush, with some blue colored berries on it. I slowly pulled myself onto my feet, and walked over to it. They looked like blueberries, and they smelled like them. I took a chance, and ate as many as I could find. It wasn't a lot, but it kept me going. I walked inland a bit, maybe half a mile. The marshes were fading into more fertile land, grassy, a perfect place for animals. I hoped I would run into something, a rabbit, a deer, anything, that I could eat. Who knows if they even existed here. As I walked, I tripped over a root, though I caught myself. On the ground, next to where I fell was a roll of parchment. This was the first sign of human life I had seen, who knows how it had ended up here. Maybe someone wandering through this world as I was had found it. No matter, I picked it up, and unrolled it. It was a map. It had been written on, the grid was labeled by numbers and letters. Looking at the map, I tried to figure out where I was. Judging by the location of the only lake, and the river I had just swum, I mentally pictured the area on the map where I must be. I looked at the sky, the moon was starting to descend. I knew I had to sleep, I wanted to be fully rested for the day. I found a suitable patch of grass, and lay down. ( OOC: Here's where I think I am. this is not actually written on the map)
