I've decided that Ikariam is a fair substitute for HSX and thus permits discussion on this forum. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 11:11 2
- Then we need a pillaging board. -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 11:14
- phew, I was worried there for a minute -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 7, 11:11

- I'm gonna throw this out there, Scramball, enough said. - MDH Apr 7, 11:11
- Capture. The flag. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:10 5
  - I've found that that's pretty fun in real life, but in video game form it's bizarrely stressful -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 11:11 4
    - especially with Crash Davis driving. -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 11:18
    - I know it's the unpopular opinion, but I really like it. -- nm - David Apr 7, 11:16
    - Agreed! When your warthog just got blown out from under you and you are running the last 30 meters to the base - amoxy Apr 7, 11:14 1
      - wait, when did you start playing halo? -- nm - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 11:34
- always a classic. -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 11:09
- Kick the Baby! -- nm - Stan Apr 7, 11:07 1
  - No kick the baby! -- nm - Ike Apr 7, 11:11
LYC: The mole on my chest was normal (not cancer). Mole on back was abnormal though. - ty97 Apr 7, 11:01 31
- Glad to hear. - MDH Apr 7, 11:10
- nice! -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 11:09
- Oh....these will be first ever stitches too. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 11:08 12
  - [deleted] 1
    - I wish - ty97 Apr 7, 11:15
  - Were you wrapped in bubble wrap as a kid or something? - Trish Apr 7, 11:13 7
    - I've never had stitches before, and the only broken bones were of utter stupidity. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 11:14 4
      - I broke an ankle trying to slide in softball (age 13), broke a rib in a bike wreck (15), and had stitches a bunch of times. - Trish Apr 7, 11:20
      - So you have had ALOT of broken bones? -- nm - amoxy Apr 7, 11:15 1
        
        Broke my nose once and a toe. Stress fractures often after college. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 11:22
      - I've never broken a bone. *knocks on wood* -- nm - kelly Apr 7, 11:15
    - kinda. I preferred my computer to running around and playing in dirt. - ty97 Apr 7, 11:13
    - The only stitches I've ever gotten were after my wisdom teeth. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 11:13
  - impressive. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:10
  - really? wow. That's almost hard to believe -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 11:09
- It kinda looked like the Pope. Not this Pope. The old, cool Pope. But abnormal nonetheless. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 11:06
- great - that is good to hear -- nm - Epiphany Apr 7, 11:04
- Good news. Glad to hear. -- nm - lileve Apr 7, 11:03
- no mo mole -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 11:02
- I should really go and see a dermatologist. I'm mole central. all that time in the sun doesn't help either. -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:02 9
  - So am I and I had a few removed - eag Apr 7, 11:08
  - it's a really simple check. And it seems to be the most survivable cancer, because it's so obivous to the trained eye early. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 11:03 3
    - Guess again. - Trish Apr 7, 11:16 2
      - But docs know this and can take off the tiny black moles (that's what they did on my back) - ty97 Apr 7, 11:18 1
        
        You're in the minority, bubba. - Trish Apr 7, 11:22
  - I'm actually pretty mole free considering I'm in the sun all day too -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 11:03 3
    - you can get cancer without moles, fwiw. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:04 2
      - But can moles get cancer, if they get spots on their skin that look like people? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 7, 11:05
      - yeah, I know. My father has had skin cancer as well as my mom. I'm screwed -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 11:05
- vn mole removal! -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:02

Hotkiss, I don't think you're off-base about diamonds being a waste of money, but if you're into precious gems, they're probably the nicest. - mafic Apr 7, 11:00 15
- I'd take tanzanite or benitoite over diamond. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 11:04 12
  - blue diamonds are way nicer (but also a couple orders of magnitude pricier). -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:06 3
    - what do you think of green tourmalines? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:09 2
      - I quite like them, but I've found pretty much everything pales next to a diamond of the same colour. nothing else has quite the same refraction. -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:11 1
        
        oh ... I meant tsavorites. green garnets. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:15
  - ooooh, tanzanite. I also love demantoid garnets. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:05 7
    - Tanzanite and benitoite at least have the distinction of being truly rare. - TWuG Apr 7, 11:10 6
      - it's not that it's rarer than diamond, more that no one bothers to look for it. -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:13 1
        
        Known sources make it rarer. Currently. Sure someone *could* find a huge source if they started looking. - TWuG Apr 7, 11:18
      - demantoid garnets are rare. More fire than diamonds. - loosilu Apr 7, 11:11 3
        
        actually, they don't. it's not a subjective thing. the higher the refractive index, the more fire, and I don't think anything comes close to diamond. - mafic Apr 7, 11:17
        
        Yeah, sorry. Meant in comparison to diamonds. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 11:13
        
        ok, benitoites are on my list of favorite rocks now. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:12
- Oh ok. What do you think of synthetic Diamonds? -- nm - lileve Apr 7, 11:02 1
  - not up to gem quality yet (at least not as cheaply as natural stones), but getting there. -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:05
Is anybody going to Origins this year? -- nm - ceregon Apr 7, 10:58 3
- Origins the gaming convention, Columbus OH, June 24-28 -- nm - ceregon Apr 7, 11:00
- Not sure yet. Is there a sale on the ginger souffle body cream? -- nm - Diva Apr 7, 10:59 1
  - oh, that stuff is good. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:00
Damn, forgot my blood sugar monitor at home - amoxy Apr 7, 10:55 1
- Amoxy!! I swear to you, I am sending those strips out tomorrow! - kelly Apr 7, 10:58

        [deleted] 1
        
        well, f*ck. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 11:17
My marble surplus is nearing 15k... Trade me before I get pillaged! -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 10:46 12
- upgrade your walls, upgrade your palace even if you don't need to now, it will suck up a lot of excess and you'll be ready when you are ready -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 7, 11:15
- I could send you sulphur. what're your coordinates? -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 11:08
- i could def. use, unfortunately I have nothing but gold to offer -- nm - Gwaahjo Apr 7, 11:02
- Sell it. 8 gold pieces each. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 11:00
- who lives near you? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:49 7
  - Jovian is the only ally I have in my immediate area. -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 10:51 6
    - what's the travel time? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:58 5
      - Menial. But I didn't mean I was under attack right now - celedhring Apr 7, 10:59 4
        
        yes, but I want to know the travel time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:00 3
        
        7 hours from my marble colony. I can send stuff overnight if you want. -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 11:08 2
        
        each way? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:10 1
        
        Yes, each way. But my closest colony to you is "only" 6:15. -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 11:13
ugh, another piece of Brooklyn history under threat of the wrecking ball. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 7, 10:45
Interesting new study says a combo therapy involving an antidepressant and a nicotine patch radically increases the chances of quitting smoking. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 10:44 3
- [deleted]
- wellburtin is sold under another name as a drug to quit smoking. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:47
- that actually kind of makes sense -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 10:45

LIR: I think I'm reading the Dead Zone by King, but haven't committed to it yet -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 10:42 2
- it's slow at 1st but picks up - a very good read -- nm - Epiphany Apr 7, 10:54
- You "think"? Haven't looked at the title at the cover yet? ;) -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 10:53
Flashlight tag? -- nm - J Apr 7, 10:41 10
- ~La da da dee la da da da~ -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 10:48
- yeah, played at night in the neighborhood. The person who's "it" has a flashlight and tries to find others using the beam of light -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:43 8
  - yep. Played across the neighborhood with about 25 kids hiding everywhere (bushes, boats, docks, roofs) it was a blast. -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 10:45 6
    - We would play mostly sardine tag....fifteen people or so, by the end, it was all vs 1. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:46 5
      - now what was sardine tag? -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 10:47 4
        
        1 person starts as it. When you tag person #2...now #1 & 2 are it...so on and so forth till only 1 non-it person remains. They're the winner. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:53 1
        
        ah....infection. -- nm - Remlik Apr 7, 11:00
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        You and your obsession with Will's junk -- nm - amoxy Apr 7, 11:08
  - Lame :) Should've just played Manhunt. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:44
From B2 favorite activity: Glow in the dark Lego tag - Inigo Apr 7, 10:40 2
- Playing doctor was always interesting. -- nm - BAD Apr 7, 10:42
- I never heard of glow in the dark legos, but that sounds awesome. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:42
for Wiggie if she is around...MSNBC covering Elkhart's problems.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 7, 10:40
The march to the Cy begins: Roy Halladay 1-0. Not the best line, but wins are the main thing for the Cy. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:38 2

pork rinds are not all fat. a lot of protein. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:34 9
- reminds me - btw: your thank you water color is complete and it will be in the mail with your pork rinds - tomorrow - Epiphany Apr 7, 10:58 1
  - oooh, very cool. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 11:01
- label. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 7, 10:35 6
  - true but more than half the calories are from the fat ... and how likely is that someone will only eat 1/2 an ounce? -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:40 2
    - *shrug* what's your point? everything in moderation. I eat pork rinds, fwiw, and my cholesterol is fantastic. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:41 1
      - few people look at the serving size and think they are in the clear. good for you for having that discipline -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:43
  - yeah, just 36% fat -- nm - decline Apr 7, 10:39 2
    - far from 100%. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:40 1
      - excuse my hyperbole -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:41
Let's go Arsenal! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 7, 10:33 3

- oh, crap. I forgot the UEFA Champions league games were on today -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:34

- I'm slaying it in .org -- nm - Gwaahjo Apr 7, 10:43
- I ran out of gold in the middle of the night and my entire army and fleet left....rebuilding now -- nm - J Apr 7, 10:36 5
  - When running low, just cut down on research until you get a positive cashflow, then sell resources until you're in the black again. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 11:09
  - I have been trying to keep around 10k in gold on hand, just in case. -- nm - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 10:39 2
    - I bulked up to 20k over night, so now I will revert back to some resources and research -- nm - J Apr 7, 10:43
    - smart man. I think Meland I try to have around 2mil just in case a full out war breaks out or alliance members need help -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:42
  - Yeah, that happened to me a week or two ago. Sucks. - Dr.Vermin Apr 7, 10:37
Why is my wife getting the New York Yankees 2009 ticket information and fan guide? wtf? -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:32 9
- Because she's awesome. -- nm - Diva Apr 7, 10:50
- I got it too, and the only time I was near the yankee stadium was by accident. -- nm - celedhring Apr 7, 10:44
- because she is a smart woman -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 10:37 3
  - remember, she married me. -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:38 2
    - that blinding accident she had sure was sad. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 10:43
    - everyone has lapses. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:40
- [deleted] 1
  - I think it's because she bought tickets for us to a Red Sox/ Yankees game 3 years ago. -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:35
- She was one of the poorer 2008 Season Ticket holders and they're just now getting to her in the line to get screwed? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:33
