how do people feel about that Travellers commercial? the one with the dog and a bone? - loosilu Jul 19, 09:51 1
- so why are you asking about it? -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 09:53
You know what ad I like? That Travele--ah fuck it. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 19, 09:50
That Travellers commercial with the dog and his bone is brilliant. - pmb Jul 19, 09:49
I love that Travelers Insurance commercial with the dog and his bone. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:49 1
- that's a great tune. Ben Harper, I believe -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 09:53
well I hope everything works out for eag and maybe my little bit of a donation will help. -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 09:49 1
- Thanks - eag Jul 19, 09:55
Car crashes into a crowd in Germany. BNO syas "the accident may have been an accident." Geez, think before you tweet. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:45 1

British Open spoilers - Beaker Jul 19, 09:43
You know what I like about the Open? - Reagen Jul 19, 09:41 1
- I found it odd that a seated gallery, on a green, yelled out something just after a putt was struck. It's true, they don't yell after tee shots. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:48
I hope Mets/Braves goes 18 innings tonight. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 19, 09:40

Fedor interested in fighting Lesnar, Dana White says it will happen - Stewie Jul 19, 09:07 13
- Another interesting note... Mark Cuban is now a bondholder with Zuffa Entertainment (owner of UFC) - Stewie Jul 19, 09:43
- I still don't see it happening, unless Fedor's people have finally gotten realistic. The Russians want *too* much. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 09:09 11
  - Some of the UFC clauses they want as part of the contract don't work. Sides, he's the #1 guy...if Dana wants millions, he makes the deal. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 09:16 10
    - Problem is they can't do a 1 fight deal and have Fedor come kick Brock's ass and not fight in the UFC anymore - Stewie Jul 19, 09:23 8
      - I agree with this.....just UFC has the one guy who can demand the world from them - Will Hunting Jul 19, 09:28 7
        
        well... i dont think any other promotion can pay him what the UFC can - Stewie Jul 19, 09:33 3
        
        Affliction pays crazy money. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:36 2
        
        I'd rather have a UFC deal like GSP has that pays a % of PPV buys - Stewie Jul 19, 09:39 1
        
        Oh, for sure. But I think only the top level guys see a piece of that. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:41
        
        what kind of money does Fedor make fighting there? As much as the UFC would pay him? -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:32 2
        
        Supposidly he got about $2 mil in total for his last Affliction fight, but he also retains the rights to the footage of his fights - Stewie Jul 19, 09:35
        
        $300,000 or so, but around 1.5 million, supposedly, with bonuses etc. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:35
    - But no way Dana lets it become a Lalapalooza thing, though. - Spawn Jul 19, 09:18
Stupid Ika question, answered many times before, but how many times can I attack a target in a 24-hour period? -- nm - mara Jul 19, 08:33 32
- 6 -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 08:35 31
  - 6 per town not player. You could attack another town of his/her's once you hit the limit. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 08:58 21
    - Until recently, I thought I could attack the same town from different cities, as well. The guy I took 7,655 boats from? - Spawn Jul 19, 09:11 20
      - You have enough to store all that? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:14 17
        
        Well, I was pillaging from mainly three (and for the long overnights a fourth city) so I used/sold as I went. It was from five cities, so my - Spawn Jul 19, 09:16 16
        
        Plus, it cleared the way for my 7th city. - Spawn Jul 19, 09:21 15
        
        I am going to quit the game soon. So I should figure out with you or Mel or whomever how to better give up all my goods to ImpL. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:31 7
        
        The cash can't be given away but you could buy a bunch of goods and just distribute them as you see fit. - Krusty Jul 19, 09:35 3
        
        Can I buy stuff at crazy big prices? Wood for $5k a piece or something. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:37 2
        
        99 max per piece -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 19, 10:34
        
        I would think so. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:44
        
        how you doin'?! -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:33 2
        
        Hehe. Everyone can have some. :) I think my plan would be to ship all my troops to one town. Then quit the alliance and have everyone attach my 4 - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:36 1
        
        You can station your troops in someone else's town so there's no resistance but it'll still show you as having a high score which will keep looters - Krusty Jul 19, 09:49
        
        8 isn't so bad, but 9 requires 447000 units of wood. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:29 4
        
        That's crazy. The warehouses get very expensive. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:32 3
        
        I built 3 or 4 warehouses and then tore them back down after the upgrade. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:33 2
        
        oh, I see. My islands don't have any room left. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:35 1
        
        Yeah, you have to make room. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:38
        
        You have seven towns now? That's a lot of management going on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 09:24 1
        
        Seriously. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 19, 09:27
      - I thought it was 6 per player and let a lot of loot go to other players. I couldn't get a straight answer for a week and opted to play it safe. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 09:13 1
        
        I rememeber those days! As Ilook back at my notes, I thionk there were only 4 times that in a 24 hour period I pillaged the same town. - Spawn Jul 19, 09:21
  - Thanks! (And how weird is it that the inactive I'm pillaging had no defenders the time before last, but 4 this last time? It's still inactive.) -- nm - mara Jul 19, 08:36 8
    - I am hooked on the game. Instead of going to the store, I am waiting another 5 minutes - amoxy Jul 19, 08:49
    - production ended or scatterd troops returned -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 19, 08:37 6
      - Ah, thanks! -- nm - mara Jul 19, 08:39 5
        
        if you'r whale is close to me i have vacant cargo ships - Danedukenuuk Jul 19, 08:42 3
        
        Mine, all mine! -- nm - mara Jul 19, 08:43 2
        
        Actually, if is his troops were scattered, and not by you, it is not *all* yours. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 09:12
        
        heh :) - Danedukenuuk Jul 19, 08:47
        
        yeah someone else may be pillaging them too, get what you can!! -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 08:41

- How is Dulles not bigger than Harrisburg? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 19, 08:01
- I think it also depends on the 'popularity' of the airport. We can often get cheaper fares out of Orange County or Long Beach than LAX. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 07:33
- I stopped trying to make sense of air fares long ago. Once I was looking into a Portland flight.... - Cuzzin Todd Jul 19, 07:32

  - Oops, meant to reply to CQ. I wish we could just nuke them but them is not in one country. -- nm - lileve Jul 19, 07:09 6
    - I was seriously joking. obvi. It just sucks -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 07:18 5
