    Central Transfer Chamber - the NEW off-topic thread

    That made me laugh out loud, Bonk. :D You obviously have a knack for writing humor, based on your posts I've seen so far - not to mention your screen name. :p You must join us over at the writing forum (Assignment: Writing). We need more humor writing there. :) Paul

    Central Transfer Chamber - the NEW off-topic thread

    Wow, I wrote a response to this thread and now it isn't here. I guess I got distracted before I actually hit the submit button. Oh well, here goes again. :rolleyes: As a media specialist, I have a dual responsibility to teach and to manage/operate the media center. I will teach classes...

    Tek's Writing Challenge: cc.slim

    There are a lot of great highlights to that poem. There are two things I think you might want to work with. The first is that you might want more 'drama' of the poem, in terms of surprising the reader with where you're going with it, or focusing more on a 'story' behind the poem. The second...

    Tek's Writing Challenge: Dorkelf

    Some of my recent work, any critiques are appreciated “Permission to speak freely, sir,” Weinmann said. Joe had just explained his plan, and had been hoping for some good advice, or maybe an offer for Weinmann to come along with him on his mission. But now Weinmann was about to say something...

    If you can't beat 'em...

    I completely agree STC. The advantage of SWAY s that it will win us fame, particularly at the first round. The disadvantages are that it won't get us to the Hall, nor gain us much respect as a PvP team. So whether we do it and how often all depends on our priorities. My proposal would be to...

    PvP for Friday, April 4

    Dea and I (and presumably Ishy) won't be able to make it - we have a meetup for our local Christian Gaming and Anime group, and since it's at Ishy's place and involves some combination of board games, card games, console games, pizza, ice cream and espresso, I can safely predict that it will...

    Tek's Writing Challenge: cc.slim

    When Dale first starting posting here, I quickly recognized someone who just HAS to write. That is what a writer is. Motivation is really everything, robinhood - there is absolutely nothing that someone with motivation can not accomplish, with God's blessing. Paul

    Book list

    I remember once when I was a teen I had an older friend over who was in college, and he happened to notice the Dragonlance book I had been reading. When he asked me who was reading it I lied and told him it was my younger brother. :rolleyes: I guess I didn't want to be thought of as 'uncool'...

    What are you reading right NOW??

    I'm reading Ender's Game right now, fantastic book that I somehow never got around to reading (the next will be The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, which I'm sure I'll love as well). I'm also about to start Falling Free, the first of the Vorkosigan novels by Lois McMaster Bujold. It will be the...

    Serious builds for Tues

    Unfortunately Dea and I won't be able to make it either. But we could probably get on sometime tomorrow for an impromptu attempt at teh halz. Anyone want to join up for that? Let me know when you'll be on and we'll see what we can do. Paul

    I need some serious advice.

    That's a tough situation Taledin. It's always so hard to give advice when a situation is so personal and hurtful to someone and I know so little about it, but I'll still try to give you a practical idea you might consider. After bad feelings have died down, you might send a nice card or...

    Serious builds for Tues

    We've done balanced a lot of times and usually do well with it after a bunch of practice. I've been trying to figure out how we were so effective so quickly, but it was probably a lot of little things like having good effective builds ready to go with people who knew how to run then well...

    Flash Fiction - 5 wishes “BEFRIEND, EARTHLING, I GIVE YOU FIVE PILLS.” “Nice costume. Are you some kind of drug pusher?” “THE FIRST PILL WILL EXTEND YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF 1.2 MILLENIA.” “Mm. Tastes like an orange tic-tac. What’s this next one? “THE NEXT FOUR...

    Serious builds for Tues

    There are two builds on PvX wiki I think we should adopt for our serious PvP nights (Tuesdays). The first is the Icy Veins spike, which Joshua has been wanting us to do. I also think its a great build that we could pull off well, considering how good we tend to be with other spikes like rit...

    Trapping in HA

    We seem to keep trying to trap HA, mostly because many of us remember how much fun VIM trapping used to be, and of course trapping is just so much darned fun. :) So I've tried to make a viable build centered around trappers that would have the intention of: 1 - being fun to play (TRAP TRAP...

    Hi, and welcome to Alpha Complex, the home of CGA's first roleplaying group. If you have no idea what a roleplaying game is, Wikipedia has an article about them here. We are currently playing a roleplaying game called Paranoia, which is set in 'Alpha Complex', an underground bunker in a...

    New Paranoia Forum. Participation is Mandantory

    Honestly my game has been running kinda PG-13, not for language but for violence. I'm glad you mentioned that, because I need to post some kind of warning about that for my own game. Paul

    New Paranoia Forum. Participation is Mandantory

    Once you register, there is an area where Ishy has posted a 'what you need to know' thread. Read it first. Then in the same general area there is a section for you to post your introduction, which will basically be your clone name (a single word and a three-letter sector designator, just like...

    New Paranoia Forum. Participation is Mandantory

    Ishy mentioned this in another thread, but I want to put it here so that everyone can sign up for it. I think this is going to be even more fun than my efforts at Paranoia via Teamspeak. And who knows, we may find some way to integrate the two in some way. But until all that gets figured out...

    Total lunar eclipse, February 20, 2008!

    I was almost too lazy last night to take our 80mm refractor out. Glad I did, the view was fantastic.
