Coffee/Tea
I love coffee and sweet tea. I always pour a lot of sugar and cream into my coffee, though. If it's black, I usually mix it with milk or something. Unsweetened tea tastes too much like water. If it's going to just taste like water, I'd rather just drink water.

It costs 100 billion for an exploration probe equipped with an FTL drive, plus an additional 50 billion if you want to add a returning device on the probe. As for odds, you'd have to ask Archi about that. Last time, I sent out two probes, and they both failed.

Scientists predict 17 more years in order for the Second Life Project to be released to the public. From that point on, Second Life's software will be improved. Scientists at the research centre in Moscow have spoken on national television about the basic aim of Second Life, "Second Life intends to use advanced software in order to create an alternative reality, a simulated reality. A simulated reality will be so realistic that users cannot tell the difference between our reality and the simulated reality itself. SR will become an exciting breakthrough for the computer industry. Imagine a world in which you can fulfill your failed ambitions. Imagine a world free of sorrow and depression. Imagine the benefits from such technology: a sharp decline in the rate of suicide and a new form of entertainment on long voyages. We are even trying to use SR on patients that are put into stasis. These patients will be able to live in their "second life" until scientists in the future can unfreeze them and treat their previously incurable ailment." Exploration satellites will be sent to all three of Kajea's moons in order to map out the moons' surfaces. Some alchemical facilities are scheduled to be built on Orojike. These facilities will contain QF generators and particle accelerators in order to supply Britanniae and Kajea with enough gold (in order to prevent gold mining). A couple light cargo ships have been sent to look for the lost probes. Once these probes are back, we will install returning devices on them and send them back out into deep space.

Archi, I updated my above post and removed the sarcastic joke. Instead, it has some more stats that you might find useful.

A space station will be built over Britanniae for trade reasons. A defence station (kind of ironic for us to build one, really) will be built over Kajea, and another defence station will be built over Britanniae. These stations are designed solely for defensive purposes only. They will each contain a large hangar containing hundreds of stellar fighters and goal-keeper railguns. (Would suck if a rock hit the station) If any debris is on a collision course with Britanniae, Kajea, or Gaia (one of Kajea's moons), the fighters will exit the hangars through a plasma window and intercept and destroy the stray debris. This should ensure that the ecosystem will not be bombarded by any foreign objects. Three colony ships are scheduled to be built. @Archi Kajea should have the following objects orbiting it: -Tartarus (moon) -Hades (moon) -Gaia (moon) -Defence Station 1 Britanniae should have the following objects orbiting it: -"The Moon" (moon, equivalent to Earth's moon) -Shipyard 1 -Shipyard 2 -Shipyard 3 -Shipyard 4 -Shipyard 5 -Shipyard 6 -Shipyard 7 -Defence Station 1 -Britannian Space Station 1 (old Japanese space station) -Britannian Space Station 2 (old Russian space station) -Britannian Space Station 3 (Trade) -Helios Spheres (no idea on the number) There might be some shipyards that Aether owns orbiting Britanniae as well. I'm not counting in my space fleet with the list since they're not static.

Archi, I have resent you the information concerning Kajea (the Earth-like world in the Kajea system) and its three moons. If you need more information, let me know. @Dusty: Yes, it is one sexy program.

Oh while we're on the subject, let's argue about Britannia's outdated and silly monarchy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAaWvVFERVA Be quiet, peasant! I order you to be quiet! Shut up! Shut up, you bloody peasant! *screams "I'm being repressed! Did you see that?! He repressed me!!"*

That reminds me. People used to do this a lot in 8th/9th grade. It would go like this: Kid A: NUMB NUTS! Kid B: Wha-? Kid A: *hits nuts real fast* Kid B: *falls to knees* You... You.... Stupid son of a [bleep]! Kid A: *laughs and runs away*

Hedgehog's told me repeatedly that he plays Hegemony, but he doesn't visit it much. He also doesn't read the posts. Regardless, he still plays.

Nah-uh. The post count will drop by 20%. We never argue.

Yes. Keep in mind that if I really haven't forgiven you and I was hiding that fact, then I'm probably not going to tell you the truth. :P

All right. There won't be any colony ships heading for the Ominlife system (unless to transport people to Eden).

We have gotten some satellite images back from Kajea. [hide=Satellite images] ------ Here is the Kajean Arctic: Here is the Kajean Antarctic: Here is a view from space (our software malfunctioned and omitted the atmosphere): [/hide] The planet appears to have large tropical rain forests, and there are tundra areas near the poles. More information will be released about the three Kajean moons at a later time.

How do you generate maps on AstroSynthesis?

It could be worse. Our initiation was to be bent over the tailgate of a truck and get spanked with a paddle. Then we had to crawl though a Slip N Slide covered with pig and deer guts. I didn't do it, though. :thumbup:

Rpg, right? I thought I remembered him saying something like that, but then again, I thought that Penguin colonised the planet.

If no one has colonised Unoph in the Ominlife system, I'm going to go ahead and send a colony ship there. I don't want it to be godmodded out of the game. (waste of a perfectly good Earth world and all)

What Thanksgiving Means to You
I love all of the food associated with the holiday, but I also enjoy spending time with my family.

Probably. OT: By the way, what did Hex say a few pages back that finally got him banned from the thread? I can't believe that I missed it! :(

A medical research facility will be built on Orojike. This area will be covered with a bio-dome, and air-locks will be used. This will make the area capable of being quarantined should a plague outbreak occur due to an accident. The facility has been christened the "Orojike Medical Research Centre" (OMRC). OMRC will handle medical research that is too risky to take place on Britanniae. The architects, cartographers and landscapers have arrived on Earth, and the study of Japanese metropolitan cities has begun. They should be there for a few years before traveling back to Britanniae. Once they have arrived back to Britanniae, the reconstruction of Japanese cities on New Japan will begin immediately. Second Life continues to progress well. Researchers are transforming volunteers' brainwaves into high-quality images and video. Some of the brainwaves analysed included sexual fantasies, but the confidentiality of all volunteers is in full force. All volunteers are told to not be embarrassed by what shows up on the screen. Researchers are also trying to use Aetherian computer technology in order to analyse brainwaves and transfer favourable thoughts into a sort of "alternative universe" as some researchers say. The construction of new cities and factories continues to progress well. The use of magnetic trains has been very popular. As one citizen stated, "It's really awesome that we're being good stewards of our new environment. None of this was even conceivable on Earth. I love my new home." Expedition teams have been sent into unexplored regions of New Japan and Oceania, and another expedition team will travel to the unnamed continent on the far east of the Britannian map. Construction of new cities on Kajea has begun, but it will be at a slightly slower pace than that of Britanniae. Expedition teams will explore the Kajean jungles in approximately 3 years. Kajea is a large planet, and it will have many places to explore for a long time. The same policy of preserving the pristine environment will still apply to this realm (world). The 300 million or so Britannian residents on this world admire the three moons of Kajea.

Fire Cape
This. It takes a LOT of nerve when you get Jad on your first attempt. During my first attempt, I was sniping the monsters and doing everything perfectly. When I got to Jad (perfect spawn, too), I got too excited, and I pressed protect melee instead of protect from mage (was the attack he used on me). Once he dealt a large hit on me, I freaked out and died. I'm also level 132. It happens to the best of us. By the way, enchanted diamond bolts help A LOT. I brought about 500 of them (plenty) and a few thousand barbed bolts. I used the barbed bolts on all monsters except the level 360s and Jad. The effect penetrates their armor, so they die a lot quicker. The effect's animation is also pretty cool as well (reminds me of prayer emote).

How do YOU dress?
A male cash register? --- I usually just wear whatever T-shirt that I can find and some blue jeans. I also like to wear casual button-up shirts (usually a solid colour). In fact, right now I'm wearing similar clothes to what that neo-nazi character from Sons of Anarchy wears. Great show. (No, I'm not a neo-nazi.)
