Welcome Terra Nova !:)

[DocHoliday]

Glad to see you here as well!

Lady (Michi) and gentlemen (all the rest o' ya bums), we have got ourselves the second orbinautess on Dan's
forum. At least that I am aware of



The rest of ya, try to act like gentlemen, even in these modern unromantic times

[freespace2dotcom]

*ptooie*  (spits on carpet)

yeah, yeah. call me a bum an' I act like one. I dunno anyone else who wouldn't do the same, either.

[Krytom]

Dan's not going to be happy about you spitting on his new forum carpet. He had to clean it up last time.

[DanSteph]

he he since I have replaced it by tile
very practicall for cleaning.

Also student pilot are confined in a park until they become pilot.

Where will the forum's improvment end ?

Dan

[Krytom]

New wallpaper.

[DanSteph]

I just added a special room for our ladies with
big carpet, pink wall, shaded light, litle bar
and piano bar....

Of course you don't see it , only woman and moderators have access

Dan

[McBrain]

And you are the moderator! LOL
How can I became a moderator?

[freespace2dotcom]

99% of the time, you have only two options. get in with a bribe, or by force.

you didn't get that info from me.



also, that pesky 1% of the time, you actually get permission, but that only happens in fairy tales, so don't bother.

[Krytom]

1329 posts is what is needed to be a moderator. I'm soooo close.

I HATE PINK

:)Blue is the best colour.

[freespace2dotcom]

Actually, RED is the best color.


EVAR!

The eye responds to red far better than blue, personally my favorite colors are red, blue, and black. in that order.


But everybody is able to have their own opinions, so long as nobody is mamed or killed.

[Krytom]

You can sort of imagine this forum as a large room. With a new tiled floor, a place for people to spit and Canadave
sitting in the corner grumbling and eating newbies. Dan is in the center of the room on a large PC and when he starts
up the Orbiter Beta there is silence and when it is loaded there is a
large 'Oooooooooooooooh.......Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah' From a crowd of Orbiter fans surrounding him.
Freespace2dotcom is just sitting on the floor being sarcastic and McBrain is writing add-ons. DocHoliday is writing an
essay and I'm sitting there talking to myself. The female members (Michi and TerraNova) are sitting quietly in a broom
closet with pink walls that Dan calls the 'Ladie's Room'.

What a wierd bunch of people we have here.

If you were insulted by anything written here then i am sorry and tough luck.

[freespace2dotcom]

Nonsense!! It's true that the weirdest communities are online, but what makes us different from the others is:

We play intellectual games  

I mean come on.. you take the average doom player, put him in the room with us, and his brains are likely to fizzle by
the sheer braininess of this place.

Even I've only made it to mars once so far, (granted I crashed into it at hurrendous speeds, but hey, it's better than
running out of fuel and whizzing by, is it not?) next time will be by dgIII for sure.

also. I *WILL* make (at least) one add on, even if it sucks. (which it won't)

Just ask Mustard!  

[DanSteph]

Mustard was the author of nice video of Orbiter and he simply asked me
to open a french speaking forum, while it was his idea first he got the job.

(don't ask me to open a forum in Kroubatzan language I'm affraid it will not work

Btw reekchaa I tried to write you but your adress is invalid

Dan

[reekchaa]

Aw Maaan... my Yahoo account was bouncing?

I guess it was 92% full... Try again?
  (you could also use @hotmail.com)

[reekchaa]

Oh.. and if it was about my new moderator status, it still doesn't work yet.

Say, dan, do you suppose we can start a forum in japanese?

I don't speak a word of the language, but you didn't say I couldn't ask about it.

plus, since it'd be my idea first, I could be the moderator, in name, anyways.

[DocHoliday]

*Doc puts down his pen* I remember one time back at elementary we got a homework to write an essay on any topic
that we wanted. I don't know what I wrote about, but another guy in class came up with this strange idea. He got
best marks for the essay and we all knew he was a lazy bum and didn't deserve it by a long shot. So the teacher
asked him to read it. It went something along these lines:

"This is going to be a short story about this guy, who had to write an essay on any topic. He was usually a very lazy
bum, so he really didn't know how to go about it. So, of course, time ran out on him, so on the morning when he was
supposed to have his homework finished, lacking a better idea, he started writing about this guy, who had to write
an essay on any topic. He was usually a very lazy bum, so he really didn't know how to go about it. So, of course,
time ran out on him, so on the morning when he was supposed to have his homework finished, lacking a better idea,
he started writing about this guy, ..."

HEh, the teacher was so impressed, he got the best grade in class, but that particular idea never work again with
anyone Same thing with Mustard.

Cheers,

*Doc peeks into the broom closet with pink walls that Dan calls the 'Ladie's Room and wonders why the heck none of
them replies.* I mean this thread was dedicated to them

[freespace2dotcom]

I think we scared them away.. Or perhaps to put it more precisely, maybe I did??

anyways, I fully knew my plan wouldn't work.. But I can live with trying and failing, but if I don't even try, what kind of
person would that make me?

a very lazy person.

As for me, one time in my speech class back in high school, we had to write an informative speech..

I, being the lazy person, wrote mine in class the morning it was due. It was about the difference between modern
coins and the old silver ones. As a bonus, I just happened to have both kinds in my pocket. (they DO sound a lot
different if you toss the3m on the floor) I finished the second my name was called up to present it

anyways, I got a 'C', but do you know what? that was the easiest C a guy could have ever earned.  The only way you
could get better is by being even lazier, like the person with the repeating story. Of course, mind you, going any
further than I do on any occasion is risky, because it requires the right conditions, such as a teacher with an open
mind for such things. If I would have tried that repeating story trick with MY english teacher, then I'd still be in high
school. Overall. laziness is best. afterall.. I just *squeezed* past high school with minimal effort, while the
overachievers with straight 'A's will have burned themselves out a very premature age because of all the effort. and
remember, a diploma is a diploma. well, I'm sure most of you have real diplomas, mine's practially a cardboard cutout.
it has the stamp on it making it official and all, but if you looked at it... but anyway, what if my little plan worked? for
almost no effort I could have instantly become more powerful that almost everbody in a heartbeat! Of course, it's all
about the effort...

I just lack most of it and only go for promising things if there's little effort required to get it. Of course, I still bite the
line like nearly everyone else. I'm happy with my laziness.

Also, for those of you who couldn't understand a word of what I said, all you need to know is that it's philosophical,
and you really don't need to know it. The moral is that I'm the best with the rare exception.

.. what? why are you all looking at me like that?

[DocHoliday]

Heh, I'm gonna start to call you God of Sarcasm, what's your name btw? So you can be XY, the Sarcasm God

I don't have a diploma yet, so that qualifies me as lazy But I do believe that lazy people somehow drive this world.
1. Our HRM professor always said, that good managers have a lazy quality about them, as they are good at giving
tasks to others. Hardworking people would just do it all themselves.
2. A lazy person will spend hours or more trying to automate or create a machine, program whatever, to do
something for them, so they never have to do it again manually That's the perfect description of me: even the
rudamentary programming skills I have are a product of lazyness, funny as it sounds You start with a macro to
automate some tedious task, next thing you know, your in VBA programming advanced mail merges by mail and I'm
prolly gonna be a C# specialist in a few years, depending on the difficulty of tasks I'll have at work in the same period
of future time.

Follows then that without lazy people, we'd still walk around with no bikes, cars or planes, have no real economy,
and no appliances of any kind. Why would you need a car, if you can walk, why would you need a supermarket if you
can grow your own food and why oh why would you need appliances like "mr. coffee" if you could grow, roast and
cook your own coffee? No car, no plane, no rocket, no Apollo, no Moon

"LAZYness is the answer and is also a prerequisite for extreme efforts to accomplish a state of eternal lazyness and
for the creative genious to justify the efforts needed if you ask me" - Vidmarism No. 103

Oh, Dan! 8o

I assume OS 3.0 isn't out because you're currently learn japanese, right?

[McBrain]

I wonder why TerraNova doesn't write anything.
