    - I have one of these - but it's kind of small. - kelly Jul 14, 14:50 4
      - As long as it doesn't get into the water and you can get a lid to cover your food that's cool. - Bacon Jul 14, 14:52 1

I am wearing a shirt that is about 2,000 lumens too bright when exposed to direct sunlight. And it's christmas-themed. And cat-themed. - Beryllium Jul 14, 12:56 3
- and so it begins ... it's still a bit early to think about Christmas, but I guess this will work as the 1st official Christmas sighting for the year -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 14, 13:20 2
  - It doesn't really count if it's a random woot shirt, does it? It's technically my newest shirt. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 13:39 1
    - random shirts pulled out of duffle bag don't count, we'd never know if its ironic or not -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 14:35
Ika: I'm not going through 100 messages I missed. Are we at war with vip or what? Free to assault them wherever we want? -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 12:45 24
- Just posted this, but Bacon is an expert so maybe he knows. Or anyone? - Spawn Jul 14, 13:40 19
  - When I took that year off my Wonder Knowledge slipped. I am trying to get it back with the patch changes. My best guess - Bacon Jul 14, 13:44 18
    - While I have you here. I am thinking about a decoy strategy with pirates. Run this by leadership. - Bacon Jul 14, 13:48 4
      - It might help, but Lux has a daily update system so they tend to know who has ranked recently. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 13:50 3
        
        Kungfu and Bartelby have hit me three times and I haven't played pirates this entire cycle. They are hitting me blind -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 13:50 2
        
        heh. I keep thinking they are playing smart. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 14:24 1
        
        They are using a machete instead of a scalpel -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:25
    - That makes sense but being knocked down not one, but to notches just seems nuts. - Spawn Jul 14, 13:46 12
      - Did you fire it from the lvl 5? I keep a Colossus at lvl 4 just in case I want to split enemy forces and wipe out the 40% that stay in battle. - Bacon Jul 14, 13:49 11
        
        They are all level 5. That is why it does not make any sense. - Spawn Jul 14, 13:51 10
        
        All I can think of is there was a little lag from when you didn't get them up. Next time you fire and are occupied let me know. - Bacon Jul 14, 13:52 9
        
        Wait a minute. Even at lvl 4 the lvl 5 wonder should still fire as a lvl 5. I do that all the time and the cooldowns are the same. - Bacon Jul 14, 13:54
        
        But like I said, it was fine four hours ago when I fired. - Spawn Jul 14, 13:53 7
        
        Ah, two towns occupied. That would make sense for two hits. - Spawn Jul 14, 14:23 2
        
        This will be a good strategy to use in a war though. With some of the longer wonder cool down times -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:24 1
        
        Forge will not be cooled down until late tonight, but that will give us partial confirmation. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 14:31
        
        read my post above. You may be onto something -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 13:54 3
        
        I have my mwc on LSK's forge island, I build a temple, this halves the recharge (someone else on the island staffs theirs) activate it, demo the temp - zeitgeist Jul 14, 14:00
        
        I have a test for you. Put your MWC on a poseidon island, and stick a lvl 1 temple on while your other town is occupied. See if the number changes. -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:00 1
        
        Can't now as it has been fired. BUt would be doing that anyway tomorrow as the down time kills during pirates. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 14:23
- for some reason they decided it was open season on us, so rather than go through the usual escalation of skirmishes, go for it now - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:08 1
  - on .com I am always on a war footing and I've been prepping even more the past week so moving 2300 ships and 12k troops to attack now -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 13:19
- Hit them hard and often, team up on them and burn them to the ground. Not official war yet, but we are open to attack at will. -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 12:47 1
  - are we going to have to take on LUX too now? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:13

It always infuritates me when players have the shift on against them, why they don't just push a bunt down the line? - Will Hunting Jul 14, 12:15 2
