The Dark Lord

It's a team-based game that is played by a clan that tries to play as efficiently as possible. Giving someone a few clay speeds up the game and doesn't really affect your overall score. It's not really a big deal, but it definitely does speed up games. What irks me is when people can't grab a rag (level 1 clay) and make and wield a bow at the beginning of the game.

Brazil owns the Appalachian Mountains. You're not making any sense here. :?

Damn you guys. Damn you all. I haven't eaten Ramen in years. Now I want to.

Indeed, but no excitement or comedy involved. So it deserves only 6/10 rate. EDIT: That comment and rate was for Sosolids, i thought he/she was called Excl. Excl's deserv 8/10 Rate. It has some comedy. MMG gets kicked in the balls. I kinda thought Sosolid's vid was kinda cool. The only problem is that it's too long.

Haha, I'd like to work on buying one of those when they come out. Battlestar Galactica, anyone?

Aw, shucks. If my house only had the demonic throne and 3 steel drags I was saving up for, I could have a RS version of MTV Cribs. :lol:

Britannian news: Canada's economy continues to improve. The Canadian military (which is being assimilated into the Britannian military) has been introduced to modern weapons and has almost completed their training. All Canadian naval ships have been assimilated into the Royal Navy, as well as their aircraft. We are going to make some adjustments to bring them to par with the rest of Britannia's ships and aircraft. Our scientists on Haven have decided to just collaborate with other projects.

Thought of the day: "Houses are meant to be inhabited, not contemplated." Enjoy your POH! Good weekend!

Yup, it would probably be more like a minigame, like my suggestion was. It would be pretty awesome to be able to freely sail around the entire globe (as long as it's an open body of water that isn't landlocked) and get to randomly find islands/other ships and raid them. It would also add more to the freedom if you could navigate like you would walk (click on minimap or by left-clicking on water for movement). Maybe you could also fight other players' ships and see who is better. More money invested plus a certain skill level means that you can get a faster, bigger, and stronger ship. :thumbup:

Which is where the research comes in. I had planned to create cities within "bio-domes", which was part of some research that I scrapped a year or so ago (Haven project) because I thought terraformation basically made it unoriginal. Basically, the biodomes can control the micro-climate and provide artificial lighting for the city-sized refugee camps. You're probably right about it not being practical, but it was just an idea that I had second-thoughts about.

I would like to claim some territory on Antarctica. I think it might be a useful area to conduct research into setting up refugee camps.

Peru's open. (I'm pretty sure.) Have fun. :

Britannian news: A new satellite has been launched to replace an old one as part of my Satellite Replacement Programme. Canadians are proud to be governed by Britannia due to the quashing of the anarchy that seemed to reign there for several years. The infrastructure is still intact, despite some vandalism. However, nothing is seriously damaged. Canada is expected to work on increasing its military strength, as well as receiving Britannian-class equipment. A strengthened military with the replacement of some dated equipment should restore their morale. Their economy is making significant improvements as well. Canadians don't mind waving their Britannian flags. Scientists at Haven have decided to cancel their project on bio-domes, as it is too similar to existing technology: terraformation. We will instead collaborate with other scientists' projects.

Not true. It's just an online site that's mostly used by gamers. Only a minority are actually intelligent. -- Anyway, maybe your family could adopt her? I'm not sure how that'll work out, but she's obviously in need of your help. Any action that's done will make it obvious to the father that she tipped someone off about the abuse. In the end, there's nothing to do to keep him from getting angry. You should probably have your come to your house to "hang out" before calling CPS on her father, or you could always contact the police. Just be warned. If she speaks to a therapist or someone else that has an obligation to report abuse cases to the authorities, they will. It's inevitable, really. Just seek an alternative to her being sent off to California, which is obviously a place she doesn't want to go.

Britannian news: Just launched another satellite as part of my Satellite Replacement Programme. Old satellites are being scrapped for resources.

I started on the 19th. First day was alright, considering that most of my classes are literally right by my locker. The bad changes this year was the decrease of time between classes. We have 4 minutes (instead of 5) between classes. Even when school is starting (getting off of the bus and getting stuff put away and heading to class), we still have only 4 minutes. Also, there is no detention this year. If you get one tardy, you are automatically suspended. The school district is also acting like a bunch of jerks and denied us having a "fun" period during the state-mandated time set aside for remedial kids. Now, the kids that actually passed the basic exams must go to a class and sit down and read the entire time; we can't even do make-up work. The school district said last year that we could have this "fun" period as an incentive for the idiots to pass the easy state exams (the kids just don't give a rat's [wagon] about the tests and choose to drag us down). I'm a senior anyway. I get out about a month before the other students who aren't seniors do. It's going to probably be a bit more laid-back this year, especially with my pottery class.

Haha, I experienced a bug after coming out of building mode. Basically, I went into my dungeon and my baby red dragon kept attacking me, but the flame pit wouldn't burn me. I tried to attack my troll, but it kept saying that he lost interest in fighting me since I wasn't in challenge mode. This confused the hell out of me for a few minutes, then I went back upstairs and turned challenge mode on and went back downstairs. Everything was fixed then.

[hide=Updated map, with Kazakh flag][/hide]

[hide=Updated world map][/hide] Updated.

I will update the map soon.

@ walka LatinoKing rules all of the Arabian Peninsula.

Very well. I will update your part of the map to include your flag once I get the chance. I have school starting, so I'll have to do it when I get home from that (which starts in several hours). Just also include any new territory that you have, please. Kazakhstan just joined the game. Alright. I'll update the map when I can. Also, the Holy Empire of Jerusalem has claims to those two small countries on the Arabian Peninsula. I'll update that when I get the chance. I would also like to propose an amendment to the rule concerning newcomers and claiming occupied territory. Since there's still unoccupied land, there's no need for claiming half of someone's country. This can cause too many problems and squabbles among people that already play here. Instead, I propose that if a new player wishes to claim territory that someone else has a claim to, that they simply ask politely through PM if they could have co-ownership or if they could rule it independently. This can prevent any problems of someone getting pissed off because another person just claimed their land, which can interfere with other peoples' enjoyment of the game.

Earlier, I was in a friend's house and I clicked "Remove" while right-clicking on his skill hall stairs. Instead of saying "You can only do that in your house", it said "These stairs don't lead anywhere". The stairs lead downstairs and upstairs.

Ya I noticed that too. I was having my butler unnote mahogany logs and send them to the sawmill and after like 200 logs I noticed, Wait. my butler's only charged me 200 coins instead of 300,000. I did put in a bug report though. At least you saved 300k. :thumbup:
