OMG!! 17 hours since someone last posted!! This cannot be allowed. I demand that those responsible be rounded up and sent to the nearest Airlock for a formal reprimand and debriefing.

[Thermodyne]

Well I resolve to make at least one post a day in this thread. More if someone wants to argue about something.

I just got it also. Just recently played through the first one (again) as both a light side and dark side character. It was the fist time I played the dark side and I had a blast with it. Also seemed way easier as dark side. Credits were no problem "(Force Pursuade) You will pay me more" and once I got Force Choke, well say goodnight, oh yeah, you can't cuz you're choking.

I hate to tell you David, but the ending is so astronomically bad it almost made my eyes bleed. Lucasarts pushed forward the release date by 3 months, and the ending was ruined because of it. The ride is great, but the destination simply blows.

My suggestion: take your time and enjoy the scenery. Then ***** and moan like me when you hit the final chapter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif We can also talk about what KOTOR 3 is going to look like, since there's a few directions they can go it. Hopefully Lucasarts will mind their own business this time around.

It is a game where you fly a fighter and blow up as much stuff as possible. Xenon is a good example of such a game, or Tyrian. Since it is a turn-based game, turning your vessel around to avoid incoming attacks is a major component of the game.

Just in case, the silliness level of my post is 7.3 (on a scale of 8.72).

Why are croissants so crumbly? I can't eat one without dropping crumbs all over and it's embarrassing!

And why do they sound like the capital of the galactic empire that is one huge city covering the entire surface of the planet?

[Alneyan]

Kamog said:

It's a feature of regular croissants; non-crumbing croissants cost extra. A clever marketing ploy that.


And why do they sound like the capital of the galactic empire that is one huge city covering the entire surface of the planet?



Consider this city is Trantor rather than Coruscant, and this problem will dissapear. How is the "ant" of Coruscant pronounced? Is it as in a ant, or as in croissant?


Jack Simth said:

Jake, let's consider your problem for a while, instead of jumping to the apparently evident answer. You are speaking of an increase of 50%, ergo the number must be even: otherwise, we will end up with halves of people. Since you did not mention anything about rounding, it seems logical that only even numbers can fit in your formula.

A number is even if, when divided by 2, the result is a number like 1 or 2, without any decimal. However, 0/2 is still equal to 0, unlike all the other even numbers; ergo 0 is not even, and will not be appropriate for your formula. The lowest number that will fit is therefore 2.

Then we have 1.5 * 2 ; let's consider this new formula for a while. The 1 is obviously in strong opposition to the 5, as evidenced by the . Thus we can interpret this as 5-1=4, and we have 4 and 2. The answer is now obvious: I can pull rank on Life, the Universe and Everything. See how even maths have to abide to the Rule of the Number!

(Finding all the fallacies in the above post is left as an exercice for the reader)

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

"Coruscant" is pronounced somewhat like "korrussint". Or, in Dutch, "korrussent".

[Kamog]

Ink cartridges for ink jet printers are kind of expensive. Each one is supposed to last for 400 pages, but it doesn't seem like it actually does. The printer also uses up a lot of ink in the "cleaning" process. Plus, if you don't use up the cartridge within a certain number of months, the ink expires and you have to replace it with a new one. Doesn't seem to be very cost effective...

[bearclaw]

That's the whole idea. Printer manufactures discovered that they can make more money selling ink than they can selling printers. You only ever need to buy one printer (usually) but you could spend more on ink in it's lifetime than you did buying the printer.

[Atrocities]

Speaking of ink, I am out, and it cost me $50.00 to replace just the B&W cartrage. OMFG! This is such a rip off!

I don't have the funds to buy a color cartrage. The sad thing is I just bought cartrages last year around Sept and have only printed about 100 pages. WTF? (They don't last like they used to, and now they cost twice as much.)

You'd think with how much these cartrages cost now, that ink was a rare substance and controlled by OPEC.

Floccinaucinihilipilification! That's all I have to say on this matter. That word is one of the longest words not related to science, though it doesn't have much of a meaning (it basically repeats the same thing a couple of times).

Floccinaucinihilipilification! That's all I have to say on this matter. That word is one of the longest words not related to science, though it doesn't have much of a meaning (it basically repeats the same thing a couple of times).



And there is always antidisestablishmentarianism, which can actually mean something (besides making the forum suffer).

I was just wondering the same thing. Space Empires IS a turn based space strategy game for all of you who have never made the conection.



Hey Kerensky. Space Empires is most certainly NOT a turn based space strategy game. Get a clue, man. It's turn based space strategy game. Sheesh. The nerve of some people.


Hey, my head feels pretty spaced right now. Like it's spinning. Weee, lack of slepp is funn!


Now THAT is what I call a lot of quotes.


How is that a lot of quotes?


IMPRESSIVE.


How so? It isn't even giving me side-scroll bars.


How so? Most people use a needle and thread.


Funny, most people who I know sew use a sewing machine.


Hmm, how narrow can the inner quote box get?

Right. However, if we were to track back into time to the beginings of the English language, the universally spoken english language as we all know, then I think we would find that our barbaric forefathers first spoken word must have been "NO." I mean it was the first word I learned.

I believe one of the Old English words for no was "Na" (as far as I know, the vowel was not really the same as our current "a", but I am no Old English scholar), though this word did not quite have the same meaning as our no.

That was just a pretence to add to the thread though, and see what happens if we shorten Nodachi to "he"... Will the middle box be much shorter? Will it break the forum at last? Will John fall in love with Mary?

Ah, we're stress testing the forum!

[Alneyan]

Strategy and anyone are now the limiting factor; I guess we won't be able to make you even smaller Nodachi. Actually, this isn't true: a Battlemoon fully loaded with planetoid-mounted napalm should make you much smaller.

However, the quoting madness must stop here: I am the spirit of moderation after all (stop sniggering you in the back). Must... resist... temptation of quoting.

[Nodachi]

You're right. I really do feel for the ones who come in late and try to sort through all those replies!



























































On second thought, no I don't! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Alneyan]

Actually, mass quoting makes it too easy to browse the thread: reading your last post allows to read the twenty last posts or so at once. We should really edit all our posts to put the quotes in a random order, hence making it much harder to read the thread. That would be pure evil, and so fun... for us that is.

That should be my last post on this thread for a while; if you still see me posting here in three minutes, feel free to use lethal force to get me out of the thread.

[Thermodyne]

Post #1 day 6

WTF It made me dizzy just scrolling to the end.

[Kamog]

Wow! All these nested quotes don't fit on my screen. I'll have to go out and buy a 21" monitor or something! Hmm, I'll wait until the price comes down a bit more, say, when it's come down to $50 or so.

Hey, does anyone around here like turn based space strategy games? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif


Hate them!


So why are you posting on a forum dedicated to one?



I was just wondering the same thing. Space Empires IS a turn based space strategy game for all of you who have never made the conection.



Hey Kerensky. Space Empires is most certainly NOT a turn based space strategy game. Get a clue, man. It's turn based space strategy game. Sheesh. The nerve of some people.


Hey, my head feels pretty spaced right now. Like it's spinning. Weee, lack of slepp is funn!


Now THAT is what I call a lot of quotes.


How is that a lot of quotes?


IMPRESSIVE.


How so? It isn't even giving me side-scroll bars.


How so? Most people use a needle and thread.


Funny, most people who I know sew use a sewing machine.


Hmm, how narrow can the inner quote box get?


Looks like excessively nested quotes can mess up formatting just like large pictures. The minimum width of a quote box appears to be dictated by the longest word in it, "Nodachi" in this case.



Guys, what is the longest word in the english language? PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CO - I think it is a lung desease or something. Not really



Floccinaucinihilipilification! That's all I have to say on this matter. That word is one of the longest words not related to science, though it doesn't have much of a meaning (it basically repeats the same thing a couple of times).



And there is always antidisestablishmentarianism, which can actually mean something (besides making the forum suffer).



Right. However, if we were to track back into time to the beginings of the English language, the universally spoken english language as we all know, then I think we would find that our barbaric forefathers first spoken word must have been "NO." I mean it was the first word I learned.



It is extremely disconcerting to see my name getting contorted like that! So of course I'll add to it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif



I believe one of the Old English words for no was "Na" (as far as I know, the vowel was not really the same as our current "a", but I am no Old English scholar), though this word did not quite have the same meaning as our no.

That was just a pretence to add to the thread though, and see what happens if we shorten Nodachi to "he"... Will the middle box be much shorter? Will it break the forum at last? Will John fall in love with Mary?



Now "turn-based" is the limiting factor. And yes, John will fall in love with Mary but won't stop seeing Sue.


Pain is tempory, posts are forever.



Someone please tell me, why are we trying to break the forum?



Because we have a mile-wide mean streak? And the forum is doing just fine, though 1600X1200 is no longer enough to avoid the side-scroll bars. Anyone has a higher resolution to check it out? (Now trying with turn based instead of turn-based)



Ah, we're stress testing the forum!

But I'll let that one slid. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Animal.

[Kamog]

OK, only yes-or-no questions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Is it warm-blooded?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Mmmmm...No.

18

[Kamog]

Does it live in water?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Mostly, I would imagine.

[Kamog]

Is it native to planet Earth?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Yes.

17, because I wasn't sure on one question.

[Kamog]

Does it have gills?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Nope.

16

[Kamog]

Do the offspring of this species hatch from eggs?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

No.

[Kamog]

When fully grown, does it weigh more than 1 pound?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

No.

14

[Kamog]

Is it a single-celled organism?

[Jack Simth]

So far:
Animal
Not warm-blooded
Mostly Lives in Water
Native to Earth
No Gills
No Eggs
<= 1 lb, fully grown

That rules out hippos, aligators, crockadiles, and most lizards, bugs (including spiders)(eggs), fish, frogs; leaves small snakes, microoganisms(?)

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Kamog said:

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Clever Kamog.

12

Yes.

All right! It's easy now... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Just a process of binary elimination...

Is it one of the following in this list?
[amoeba, paramecium]

[narf poit chez BOOM]

You know, I think I should have ruled out multiple choice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Yep.

11

[Kamog]

Is it an amoeba?

[Jack Simth]

Whether that works or not depends on just how specific Narf feels like being....

[narf poit chez BOOM]

How so? The minimum answer I can give is either yes or no.

I meant how specific on the object - tell me, how many varieties of Ameoba are there?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Probably a lot...But I've always played twenty questions as dealing with generalities.

[Kamog]

Hmm, not sure what you mean by biologically manufactured, but yes, it consists mainly of minerals.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Dairy products, for one.

Since I'm getting tired, I'll leave with the traditional 'Is it bigger than a bread-box?'

Bread box? I assume it is a box that can hold a loaf of bread...

No, It is usually smaller than a loaf of bread.

[Alneyan]

Perhaps we could start a trivia game. Anyone feels like asking questions?

Otherwise, you shall have to answer to this question: why are we posting in a thread for the sole purpose of getting to a specific amount of posts? It isn't even post-padding, as we are working for the Greater Cause, the Welfare of the Thread, and not for our own sake.

[NullAshton]

Its fun? I dunno, I'm doing it to get post padding as well.

[Alneyan]

Don't post pad; believe me, there is nothing worth all the trouble in the officers mess. Well, except a few waitresses, free meals and drinks, and a couple more things.

Let's try a riddle perhaps. Any use of Google or similar devices is forbidden under the Law of the Race, and punishable by death. Any offender shall be sent to the Cantina to utter the Forbidden Words as many times as shall be needed for death to follow.

"The one who makes it doesn't use it.
The one who buys it doesn't want it.
The one who uses it doesn't know it.
What is it?"

[NullAshton]

A coffin?

[Alneyan]

Indeed. Hey, the riddle lasted at least fifteen minutes! Not bad.

[NullAshton]

I didn't see the riddle for a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[NullAshton]

The rules say no more that TWO posts in a row. Double posting is okay.

[Alneyan]

Double-posting is fine... hey, now that I am thinking on it, the rule does say "no more than two posts in a row", which should mean this thread was not to have more than one post. After all, all the posts in this thread could be said to be "in a row", and all posters have broken that rule. At least no punishment was mentioned when the law was passed, so this legal loophole should not be exploited. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Feel free to ask a riddle yourself NullAshton, or some trivia, or some question, or start an explanation of quantum physics.

[NullAshton]

A person jumps off a 100-foot monument, and without the aid of any technological devices, survives. You may ask yes or no questions.

[NullAshton]

You probally want to ask one question per post, for more post padding http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Alneyan]

I already do more than enough post padding with KOTH and my Dominions games, so I will not indulge in more post padding. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

We *are* talking about regular foot, equal to 12 inches, so 30.48 cm, aren't we? (Imperial measures have the annoying tendency of taking different values depending on the country)

Does it involve the use of a trampoline? (Unlikely, though who knows?)

[NullAshton]

Yes, its a regular foot. And no, it does not involve the use of a trampoline. Remember, no devices helped him to survive.

[Alneyan]

You only wrote "technological device" at first, so that could have excluded non-technological devices. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Did it happen on Earth? Was the monument underwater? (Or rather, was the monument not fully underwater?)

I will probably stop now, if only to let other posters join in.

[NullAshton]

Yes, and yes... The monument was underwater... Man that was fast,

[Renegade 13]

Another explanation is the monument was on its side...no one said it was upright! 100 ft monument could mean 100 feet LONG http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[NullAshton]

Hmmm...

[geoschmo]

From the wording of the original riddle, "a 100-foot monument" it could have also been a statue consisting of 100 sculptures of various people's feet. Assuming the sculptures only went up to the ankles, it could have even been giant-sized feet and still only been a couple meters tall. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Jack Simth]

The wording says nothing about his starting location, other than being on the monument. You are still "on the monument" when you are standing on the little toe of a statue that stands 100 ft high.

[NullAshton]

Okay, so I need to reword it...

Dear Mr NullAhston,

It is our belief that Douglas was making a comment about a certain mouse with more than 6,300 posts, and so his comment was not aimed at this thread. Besides, Douglas himself did post on this thread more than a couple of times, hence contributing to the spamming tendencies displayed therein.

Therefore, I shall sue you NullAshton on the grounds of "spreading misconceptions about Douglas to tarnish his reputations". I will be the judge, your attorney, and the prosecutor; the whole jury is currently ill, so they won't be able to attend your trial.

Alternatively, I would not be against a settlement out of court. Bribe offers should be transmitted to my secretary, who will determine if they are high enough to warrant disturbing me; another bribe will be necessary to ensure the successful forwarding of your proposal. And did I say something about a "matter of conscience"?

Yours sincerely,
Your Drone Attorney.

[Atrocities]

Galatic Supreme Court
Sub Section 31
Petty Lawsuites Division

Presiding Judge: The Honorable Atrocities

CASE FILE: 12225285548895365224585214

PLAINTIF: Major General Alneyan
DEFENDANT: Corporal NullAhston

Order is hereby given that this case be dismissed without predudice.

This matter shall not be heard in appealed by a higher court.

All parties are to pay court costs of $10,000 Standard Galatic Funds to the court for wasting its time.

[NullAshton]

WOOHOO! Drone attornies! Good thing I signed up for Tagon's Toughs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I appeal to a higher court. Looks like you're going to need more attorney drones http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Alneyan]

You do not appeal NullAshton. *I* appeal. Or both of us appeal (isn't that very uncommon?) at once.

I will have you court-martialed for disobeying the orders of a superior officer, mocking said officer, libelling said officer, and refusing to give way to said officer. All of those charges took place under martial law, making civil authorities irrelevant. Until the trial can take place, you are hereby demoted to the rank of Ensign and stripped of your citizenship in the EEE Empire.

And this time, I shall bring a regular attorney, not a drone. There are enough lawyers on those boards to do that... now to find one lawyer owing me a favour. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Atrocities]

This matter shall not be heard in appeal by a higher court.

If you wish to continue this matter, you must refile out side of the Galatic Empires realm of influence. Say the Xaiti courts. (Laughs quitely to self.) Ya they will hear your case, over lunch. LOL.

[NullAshton]

Aw... Wait, I had citizenship to the EEE empire? Those are my mortal enemies!

[Alneyan]

The judgement of a civil court is void when martial law is applied; that, and we shall go to another court, in another state, another colony, or even another system if that's what we have to. I will learn the EEE tongue if that's what I must do to successfully sue NullAhston.

If it is not enough, we shall set a precedence by appealing to a lower court, thereby bypassing the previous ruling of the higher court. Or we shall merely alter the case just a little bit, making it a brand-new case... but my accusation of insubordination was already another case.

[Alneyan]

NullAshton said:
Aw... Wait, I had citizenship to the EEE empire? Those are my mortal enemies!



I asked them to give you citizenship, so that I could have the privilege of stripping you of *something*. Terran, Cryslonite and Abiddon authorities turned down my request, and the 173 Empires I asked before going to the EEE did not even hear me; so the EEE were my last hope, but they were nice enough to accede to my request.

[Atrocities]

You are hereby banned from refiling this case in this court. You are fined $10,000 billion credits for angering me, and your ship is hereby confiscated for violating planetary safe ship policies and laws. You inter planetary passport has also been confiscated and your arse has been thrown into jail until such time as I deem it shall be freed.

Care to contempt my court again Major General?

[NullAshton]

*pays the 10,000 to Atrocities.*
Your 10,000. Would you like another 400,000 from these attorney drones? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Alneyan]

"Fichus juges, on devrait tous les envoyer dans le trou noir le plus proche." How nice it is to be able to express your anger in a language other than English, which is less likely to provoke the ire of a certain judge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

For the overly curious, I merely said something like "Bloody judges, they should all be sent into the nearest black hole". French isn't obscure enough though: perhaps I should learn a barely known dialect just for those situations where I need to swear, but cannot do so overtly.

I, the remainder of Alneyan (the full body minus one arse), acknowledge the decision of the court, and shall go away now. Payment shall be transmitted to the court within 48 hours. Please keep the arse in jail, I will buy another one: the miracles of genetics and body engineering. You didn't mean "arse" as in "the whole body", did you? Of course not! You wouldn't throw me in jail after all.

Now, where did I put my remote control? Ah, here it is. *Presses the button labelled "DO NOT TOUCH, open fire with all batteries, keep away from children"* That place sure won't last long with twelve ripper beams and fifteen beams firing at will.

[NullAshton]

Suddenly, 8 planetary core mounted null-space cannons vaporize Alneyan's ship, thus causing no more damage.

[Alneyan]

Eight planetary-core null space weapons would very likely do a lot of damage to the place, and is, of course, overkill! Just fire one unmounted null space weapon, and you will not kill yourself in the process. Trust me on that one!

Oh, and if you still don't trust me, I have a little toy on me. They call that an "anti-matter device when lethal force is needed"; let's just call it "the BOOM of DOOM!". See, when I press that button here, you will have thirty seconds before the whole place (a base? A ship? A building?) is blown up to pieces. I will, of course, be killed in the process, but so you will. Resistance is futile: either you set me free, or I push the button and all hell breaks loose. The device is embedded in my own skin too, so there is no way to remove it. Don't try anything stupid!

I should thank the Agency for having created those last-ditch measures when capture is unavoidable. We shall see if they work as advertisted, and make you immune to torture, Vogon Poetry and MOO3.

Keep the antimatter away from Fyron!

[Alneyan]

Very interesting Narf; it looks like I will not be able to use my belowed Stellar Manipulation right now. How annoying.

[NullAshton]

Use a inverse graviton beam on a supermassive black hole, then push the resulting mass into hyperspace. Faster than light BLAM!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Submit it.

[NullAshton]

Hehe, only problem is, the existence of a 'hyperspace' is unknown. I guess you could find a way to send the blast through those other dimensions...

[kerensky]

A warp point opens near the planet of the courts and spits out a standard Qwevlan Imperial Fleet (150 dreadnaughts plus support vessels). A message drone is then launched towards teh planet, transmitting on all frequencies....

"To all Parties of the NullAshton VS. Douglas case,

Both Parties in question are formally invited to appeal to any court of choice within the Qwevlan Imperium. Each Party in question wil be given diplomatic immunity for the time spent within Imperium space and provided with appropriate protection."

8 NullSpace battlemoons bomb out of another warppoint opening near the planet NullAshton is on. Ashton boards them, and follows the dreadnaughts.

Is it just me, or are wisdom teeth the epitome of evil??

[Jack Simth]

Nope; it's just you who's the epitome of evil. Not wisdom teeth. Well, maybe YOUR wisdom teeth. But not wisdom teeth in general.

I don't feel much wiser either before they came in or after they were taken out... Hrm...

hehehe, freespace 2?

[Alneyan]

Heh. That was a mix of some messages from Freespace 2. I much preferred Freespace 1 campaign, but since you can play FS1 with FS2, and not the other way around, Freespace 2 is better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Dive dive dive! Hit your burners pilot!

This message was brought to you by the Microsol Corporation.

They are called Wisdom teeth due to the timing of their appearence - usually in the 15-20 year range - which for much of Earth's history was adulthood. They are one mark of full growth.

hehe i remember that and i was rammed by a Juggernaugh (sorry about my spelling), damn.

[Combat Wombat]

I need more players for the Invasion! Offical 0.41 PBW game

you can get the mod here:

[Alneyan]

It was not *a* Juggernaut, but *the* Juggernaut: the most powerful warship ever constructed... except the player that is, who can take down a Juggernaut any day with a bank of Trebuchets and a resupply vessel. I reacted in time when I first loaded this mission, but I didn't pay attention to the actual words that were being shouted, so I ended up going *up* instead of going down. The result wasn't pretty, though I almost made it after realising my mistake... well, almost was a couple hundred meters, but still.

Let's see if someone knows Microsol, the most wicked corporation to have ever existed (no known connection with Microsoft).

[Jack Simth]

Sorry, I don't know of any Microsol; just Macrohard and their Doors.

[NullAshton]

I guess Freespace isn't free?

[Alneyan]

It isn't, though part of the game should be available at the Underdogs. However, I believe your friends are free to offer you a copy of the game, due to a very unusual EULA; it is your best bet to get the game actually, since it has been discontinued by the publisher. There is also the Babylon Project which allows you to play Freespace, but only the Babylon conversion, and not anything else.

And if you meant "free" as in "freedom"... Well, that shall be your goal! Secure space! Crush your foes! You are the deadliest weapon in the universe, able to take down juggernauts by the hundred on your own! Literally, if you are patient enough (two hours and counting to take down the biggest vessel in the game). Fighters were worth their grain of salt in Freespace. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[NullAshton]

X2 is probally funner. It seems like fun to command a fleet of hundreds of fighters, a few carriers with jump drives, and dreadnaughts with HEPTs and jump drives.

[David E. Gervais]

Can anyone guess what game I have been playing lately? ..here's a hint..

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[NullAshton]

KOTOR 2 is fun, maybe even funner than the first one. Playing as the protocol droid is kinda fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[EaX]

well i don't have pacience to destroy a Juggernaut with my fighter.
The same happened to me the first time i played that mission and with those shivan devices, i was near it when it exploded if my memory don't fails the hull of my ship was on 10% more or less http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[TheDeadlyShoe]

I can't play the Star Wolves demo, it won't work. I'm just saying.

[Atrocities]

I like music. Any one see the new Toyota Avalon commerical with the new song by Fisher? Very nice song. I like it alot and it will be out on their new album, I hope.

Heard a single off an interesting band from NY called "Interpol" it was a B-side named "Song 7", I think...

It's a beginning, I guess... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Slick]

Lurking devices are currently better than cloaking devices.

[NullAshton]

No, CLOAKING devices are better. It doubles as a lurking device http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Nodachi]

Now all we have to do is shrink our ships down to microscopic size so we can cloak them...

[Ed Kolis]

And have them get eaten by a small dog?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Don't forget, they have to travel across intergalactic distances as well...

Just create a gravity bubble.

Renegade 13 said:

Not quite. It's only the answer to "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Oh wait, that's the corrupted version of the question, isn't it.

[Kamog]

What is the question? Do you know what the question is?

[NullAshton]

The ultimate question that 42 answers is what is 6 times 9?

[douglas]

I've read all five books, and I don't think the ultimate question is ever revealed, but there is one attempt to figure it out by having Arthur Dent, the last surviving component of the supercomputer known as Earth that was destroyed 5 minutes before solving the problem, pull scrabble tiles from a bag without looking. They come out in this order: "whatdoyougetwhenyoumultiplysixbynine".

[NullAshton]

Yup. But 6 times 9 is NOT 42.

[Alneyan]

6 times 9 IS 42. Definitively.

Let's see. Consider the decimal system is no more, and maths abide by something more complicated (like imperial measures compared to the metrical system). If you make this operation in a base 13 system (where 10 means 13 in our own system), 42 is equal to 13X4+2=54, exactly the result of 6X9 in a base 10 system. So, 6X9=42 is perfectly correct, so long as we are in a base 13 system.

If memory serves, the Scrabble board used in the books is only thirteen tiles long, while a standard board has 15 tiles (I think). Therefore, the question can easily be solved. Now, please sit tight while the current universe is destroyed to make way for a zanier universe, as per the First Rule of Universal Physics.
