Brady, I guess it depends on who you are worried about pissing off. I wouldn't worry about the people who are already attacking us; they've made up their mind. We could worry about the people in Iraq that may decide to start attacking us; but that limits our operations and decreases our...

Murdoch, you're right about not exaggerating numbers. I didn't know for sure what the number was. But my point was that it was in the thousands. although i dont think it would be any less tragic if the death toll was only in the hundreds.

In one sense no, in another yes. If i did my job in the private sector I would be making about 4 times as much as I do now. And i don't know how the raises work for jobs like that. The only other raises I got were in the .10 and .30 cent variety when i worked in retail.

what if there was a dogmatic structure of free thinking? would you be against yourself?

i don't know if it'd called it buying us off. military pay raises aren't that uncommon. This one happens to be a big large than the past two. This one, everyone gets at least around 4% increase. The past two the cross the board increase was 3.7% or something. You mentioned it but didn't...

I'm retired from Milwaulkees Best. it was my drink of chioce dring my short stint in college, but I feel I don't have to subjugate myself to that anymore. Also, we don't buy Bud in 12 packs. Always better to go for the case.

Not everyone is going into the poorhouse. Congress and the President said it's okay to give me a pay raise, which will happen in january. Well, not me personally. It's mainly targeted at senior NCO's, but us lowly privates get some too. woot.

Just like the subject says. Of the roleplayers on this forum, how many have actually played the tabletop game? If so, do you continue to do so, or were you disatisfied with it? From reading the RP threads I can tell that people enjoy writing and RP in the game setting. For those that are in...

heh, I figured that welsh wasn't trying to give me the boot, but it's sometimes hard to interpret posts on the net, especially when you think about too much. anyway. this is actually the first forum ive found that exclusively runs story-driven games. i've seen and played in "regular"...

Welsh, do you mean I should move the game to another site or go to other sites and invite them to come here?

Does that mean you're waiting for me to start an IC thread for the game? If so, then allow me to clarify a few things. I don't intend on running this game like the others currently in this forum. Im planning on using the traditional table top gaming system, where the players post what...

cigarette rolls. that's when your parachute snakes out and twists around itself, leaving you with about 2 seconds to say "oh shit".

Mine is a picture my friend took of me the last time I was on leave. He put it on his fotolog account and i stole it from there. A quick change of resolution, and thats it. It's not a good size for actually seeing my face, but that might be a good thing. It's also subliminal advertising for my...

Syphon, Rama - any thoughts on your characters?
