Interesting thread. Swastikas were incorporated into the design of our City Hall when it was built many years ago. (Don't really know. would have to find out.) It caused quite a stir when someone took notice a few years ago.

quote:I don't know if they should Tax the internet That's the first thing that is going to happen. One of the other sidebars in the news stories I read is that they will begin taxing the online service. Just like you pay taxes on your telephone I beleive we will soon have to pay tax on our ISP. They have already gone after entertainment down here. You pay tax on your theatre ticket (though they have it figured so you still pay an even amount) and you pay tax on the concessions.

$ilk, you mean you didn't use the worksheet to figure the taxes owed on out of state purchases? Steve, I think you are correct. That's the way it should be but it isn't. What was that older movie I saw where the tax assesor visited everyone's house and you got taxed on the value of what you owned? Same thing.

I believe the lifting of the ban will allow States to try to collect for out of state purchases, not necessarily the US Govt. edit in: That's not quite right. It will allow the States to try to collect if they wish. But the the stories I have read feel the States are more likely to try. Still not quite right but better.

Demolition, open it up and delete it from there. Worked for me.

Gamesniped, I ran the Beta up until the last version at acceptable levels. Wasn't spectacular but it wasn't anywhere near being a dog either. I posted several favorable reports about my system. 500 Celeron 192 meg ram Voodoo 3 2000 pci It ran pretty good I thought. Like Derek said, you will be ok I think.

Don't know whether it's way too sensitive, I'm a cruddy picture taker, or the camera is super cheap. I never did this bad with a film camera. But, I knew it was cheap and it's good enough to get the general idea. yard work

From Jaguar's post in the "continuing the debate" thread. quote:It calls on the United States to stop the bombing as quickly as possible hopefully so quote: and urges the government to work with international organizations yes quote:to bring those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon to justice. yes, immediate death. quote:Councilwoman Linda Maio, who supported the measure, said the bombing of Afghanistan would only succeed in sowing "more hatred, confirming those who regard us as evil and nurturing yet another generation of recruits prepared to attack us at all cost." Very true, they hate us anyway.

quote:Dean said local businesses were fearful that they would lose money as a result of the decision and said the community had been sharply split on the issue with mail running heavily in opposition to the measure. So they are capitalist or what?

I was incorrect. Kenada has a "real" .com address but not a genuine ISP address listed in the fleet database. Apologies. I know that to be registered here on the forum you must have a genuine ISP address in order to be approved. But if a commander has not posted yet You don't have a member number to go by since he never posted and you can't even search by his name. So by asking them to post first one would know for sure they are approved to the forum and make sure the fleet database name matches the forum name, both requirements in the fleet faq. I thought it was rather elegant solution. Apologies if I'm doing it wrong.

quote:And how the hell did he register on the site with a vanity email address? He probably didn't. I think he registered on the forum with a real address and then used the vanity address to be displayed. Kenada since re-registered with a correct address. That is the one I approved.

quote:Would a traders rep be affected by trading with players with worse possible rep availiable? Possibly, you know how people talk. quote:But how could trader get a bad rep would be a good questions. (whiny voice)"Ewwwwwww, Kenada trades with the Gammulans. Don't deal with him" Junk like that I think. Sounds like you want to align with a group of raiders and do their trading for them or something similiar. Keeping a cut of course. Would make life interesting. This is gonna be fun.

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps he's going to ram people with those huge trading vessels. [rp]Poomp! "Warning, warning, hull intregrity breached." Poomp! "Tactical computer offline, Interceptor launch bay: is damaged, shuttle launch bay: is damaged, hull: is damaged..." Poomp! game over [/rp] (snicker)

$ilk, Your arguments are good enough without the body part/waste references. Please tone them down.

Hehe, read the first post. Your profile was deleted. You used a vanity email address and had not posted on the board yet so I didn't know who you were. Simply re-register in the fleet database. You may elect to hide your email address if you wish. [edit] Ok Kenada, I approved you. [ 10-14-2001: Message edited by: Charles Lindsey ]

In the game, fleet Database, or the forum? That is another one of those functions that only an admin can do in the Fleet DB. quote:Some castes that do not have an affiliated station/base. EXPLORER, SCIENTIST, POLICE, can launch from any station that is the same as his race/caste but not hostile to it. So, a TERRAN EXPLORER can launch from a TERRAN MILITARY station/base but not from a TERRAN INSURGENT, MERCENARY or RAIDER station/base. Got the demo? Start a Terran/police/commander career and see where it allows you to launch from. Create a sig based on the other independents and start using it. If you actually want it set in the Fleet database that will be your permanent assignment and how your stats will be logged.

quote:Which part of human nature wants more money than one would ever need to spend in 50 lifetimes? The greed part.

quote:Well, it really depends on the player, right? If the player is experienced and wants to be a jackass then there's nothing we can do about it. Sure there is, tattle. A bad reputation will spread. That part will be self policing I think. "The first question" If you got it you can use it. Might not be the most glamorous or adventurous way to make money but it will be steady. "The second question" Each game will start at the base level for each station and fluctuate over time. At least until Derek implements Station Commander career and that dude goes mucking with the prices. quote:Maybe the SC can set a system like a weekly or daily CPI or the stock market report that allows trader to analyse the previous days trading prices? Seriously doubt it. quote: I don't know, it could be really tough especially with so many bases available. This is why. quote:assuming no one trades at Velari for the night, will the price be the same tommorrow? No, on a persistent sever the npc's play a role as well. Riga: #1 Yeah there is the G-G run. #2 Interesting #3 Require? Doubt that would work. Combine 2 & 3 and make an apprentice program? Theres a thought. Hitch a ride? several traders could pool resources and pay one merc. That's interesting. Just my opinions. Can't wait to get in there and see if any of this will even work.

I thought this thread was about our efforts in Afghanistan.

Done TRD.

Back to prices. Should the new guy be charged 80,000 creds for a run when he can't think of anything else but buying stock with his starting capital? Should the Merc be helpful in explaining what to buy and what to sell off so that the run could be profitable for both?

Another thread gone bad.

Wouldn't mind getting Knights and Merchants or Warzone 2100.
