Off Topic / Ns Haikus!

« on: March 10, 2004, 09:52:15 AM »

here's a few  i made


move it marines NOW
get to your goddamn waypoint
you bloody sissies


hold the zone longer
are you bereft of honour
wait for order, hold


keep your pet theories
i have no interest in them
just follow my lead


you are the man flex
you get my RTs quickly
crucial in my plans


do not talk back grunt
i will be forced to commrage
this you do not want


no guns for you now
you rambo insolently
you have lost honour


stealth, intelligence
you are truly blackops sir
build my PG, PHASE!

       
       
blasted fades killing!
my men, my brave men, lie strewn
should have upgraded


unbalanced teams, damn
my marines die left and right
here comes the gorge rush


stop requesting now
you have nary a scratch sir
medpacks are costly


march on, march on rines
your thunderous steps echo
a beautiful train


weapons free men
you have earned this win
the hive wilts from fire


music truly, sings
from forth canons sonic come
now silence, hive dead


resource dominance
a commmanders dream, truly
i give toys freely


divine wind cometh
we cower, we falter, fall
three hives, mark us dead


cower not good rines
now go forth into the fray
shotguns shred OCs

Off Topic / How To Meet The Gender Of Your Choice

« on: January 22, 2004, 10:44:16 PM »

seeing as i'm currently the oldest feller here, i figured i'd pass on some info i've learned about human relations. it's not even close to the be all and end all of how to meet and get along with ppl, but it something, at least, what the owly knows

i know there are studs and whatnot among y'all, please help the rest of the LMers out with yer knowledge.

soo, background:
i've had a few gfs.. uh.. 6. and now i'm married. so. i think i know something. at least, my record says im' not a hermit.
i've read a few books on the subject, so if you wanna read aboot it, just ask.

Totally Random Tips
-you were born with 2 ears and one mouth. use them in proportion. in other words, be a GOOD listener. talk about what she (i'll just assume you are hetero male, if you're not, change the pronouns as you see fit ) likes, what interests her.
  often it's about themselves. just go around tommorrow and notice how little ppl REALLY listen to each other. usually ppl are just waiting to get their word in edgewise. an old saying goes "Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours". now this isn't just a sorta empty listening. you ahve to pay attention, and actually find the person interesting. if you don't, then, well, you prolly don't wanna be with them do you

-watch the Tau of Steve, some of those tips are pretty good.

-smile often and cooly. that is, don't smile like a hyena 24/7, but don't be so stoic and like ice. most women like approachable fellas, and you can make that happen by not scowling.

-do things that interest YOU, and try and find someone who does it too. don't go to a  Bougainvillea convention in the  hopes of getting a hot chick, if you don't, in fact, like bougainvilleas.

-dont' pine after some chicky that has nothing in common with you, and is super duper hotter than you are. this is kinda common sense. just as you want her because she is hot, she too, will want someone who is hot. what goes around, comes around, and all that.

-be open, warm, and good natured. usually interests women more than scowling and brooding.

-laugh goodnaturedly at anything you would normally be embarassed about. acting embarassed about something is 99% of the embarassment.

-will postmore as it comes to me.

i used to use trillians built in one, quite nice in that it auto logs everything quite well. but it has it's limitations. now i'm using mIRC. it's ok. i used it so that it ties into my HLSW so i can tell the fogies where i'm playing when i connect.

any one use anything else and have reasons for recommending it?

General / Your Comming Style

« on: December 19, 2003, 03:45:38 AM »

a little thread to learn different styles of comming.


General style:
Very very fast. I get mad at anyone who usees the voice if they don't absolutely need to. my mainstays are the upgrades, pgs, hmgs, welders, sgs, sieges, with a few elect rts in there. I like my games short, and only one onos, and very very few fades, for my rines to take care of.  I like my rines in big groups of a3/w2 madness ideally. one good rambo makes the job much much easier.

Targets/Tasks:
1 Cap RTs
2 Defend and recap rts
3 Assault their rts ASAP
4 Get a PG network close to the action, see 2 and 3
5 Assault hive, see 2 and 3

Weapons go down when there is a specific objective (ie taking a hive, taking down a fade, etc). Welders go down periodically. PGs should be mined most of the time.


Communication:
I'm very communicative, I like to takl about everything that is going on. where to go, what we're doing, etc. I've seen some comms use only wps, and a few things typed, and do it well.

Chain of command:
I like to direct all movement, where we are attacking how much, who's doing what.

Things to work on:
-My lack of base defense has been used against me many a time. about 1/2 the time the aliens are so busy scurrying to defend agains the main assault, they negelt to hit main base. but when they do realise... I'm getting better at taking mytime to set up some base D and having a rine guard base.
-I really focus on giving my rines the tools for them to kill stuff. I think really worrying about gettnig to a3/w2 can sometimes be a detriment to other strats such as rushing to ha asap.

ok, you LM comms, chip in here with some ideas on your com style

General / Geek Rites Of Passage

« on: December 08, 2003, 11:25:19 AM »

it would seem to me i encounter more and more geeks on IRC who have not gone through some of the Geeks Rites of Passage i assume anyone who is geeky enough to BE on IRC would have experienced.

it's a set, if you will, of media consumed, acts taken, whatnot, that sorta define you as a geek. now, i've seen the geek quiz, and admittedly, some of that is pretty hardcore (like programming in Assembly). so here is my list of things geeks should have at least heard of, ideally, have done add what you think is missing.

actually, this is mostly just media

-LOTR, the books
-LOTR, the movies, thus far
-Star Wars, pre-Jar jar
-LOTR animated series
-Robotech
-enjoy logic puzzles/programming/puzzles
-have played D&D at LEAST once
-think the term "windows 3.11 tiled windows rox" is kinda funny
-Battlestar Galactica
-Dr. Who
-Monty Python
-HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy
-Isaac Asimov
-StarBlazers
-know who JRR Tolkien, Terry Brooks,  and  Robert Jordan
-Forgotten Realms
-The Gunslinger Series by Stephen King
-Dune, the books
-Dune, the movies
-WarHammer
-Red Dwarf
-Rowan Atkinson and all his silliness
-has a doomed/cancelled/ended SciFi series (Firefly, Babylon5, Space Above and Beyond, FarScape)
-attributes "Revenge is a dish best served cold" to the Klingons
-knows how effective a two fisted punch is
-secretly wishes (s)he contributed/contributes to the linux kernal
-if not a coder, wishes (s)he knew how to

err, i'm sure i'm missing something here help me out
