I got gas for $2.89 yesterday. I didn't really need it, I had 3/4 of a tank, but that's the first time in years I've seen it under $3/gallon.

Wow, I thought I was lucky when I found it for $3.12 a gallon yesterday. That's so low I would have been tempted to take a snapshot of it for posterity.

One other thing, where did you're Razorbacks avatar go A_W? I almost didn't recognize you without it.

Huh, I thought I'd uploaded it again. Odd.

After seeing those crappy pics and you come to that conclusion then you would think they are absolutely gorgeous in person. I really am terrible at taking pics...

Thats the thing Im using the recommened amount of lights. One overhead light and two lights off to the side. Im currently exchanging PMs with Foxbat, who offered some advice, so hopefully I can nail down my problem.

Foxbat is VERY good for advice regarding minature photgraphy.

Is it just me, or does there seems to be a lot of posters here with a red/yellow/other colored 'Mechs over in the ID/avatar box?

I stepped away from the Red.... it was eating my soul. O:-) And I figured that 5 year of moderating the MWhalls could cause cancer..

I got mine back by convincing the dark powers that Worktroll could be a great asset as an Admin. ^-^

This is shocking - so long without a new silly post

Not a lot to add just, just offering a bump

Actually, I had a question I was looking for opinions on. I've been perusing Objectives FS and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the (in production) fighter force available to the AFFS in that era.

Unless I missed something we're producing

Code: [Select]

Corsair
Thunderbird
Stuka
Lightning
Vulcan
Sabre
Sparrowhawk

Any blaring holes that I'm not seeing with my limited familiarity with AT?

Ian Sharpe · « **Reply #69 on:** 07 December 2011, 13:06:40 »

What happened to the Dagger? I don't read the Objective series since I don't really care about the FASAnomics/CGLnomics.

Paladin1 · « **Reply #70 on:** 07 December 2011, 13:13:58 »

I think I saw somewhere that we lost the Dagger factory during the Jihad.

GreenDragon · « **Reply #71 on:** 07 December 2011, 13:48:35 »

Dagger was an Omni. So it had to go. If the Clan frontline units have non-omnis and vehicles in 3135, then omnis have to be almost extinct for everyone.

foxbat · « **Reply #72 on:** 07 December 2011, 15:30:02 »

The Dagger was neat, but well, rather lose it than our trusted Corsairs. I rarely played AT, but when I did, most of the times I drove a Corsair... :)

Ian Sharpe · « **Reply #73 on:** 07 December 2011, 18:23:04 »

Honestly, it was modified Sparrowhawks and TR-13As I picked my mercs...I like the Corsair's looks and stats but find the mini fragile. :'(

Klep · « **Reply #74 on:** 07 December 2011, 19:09:14 »

So according to the latest dev blog, in MWO we can play either as mercs or directly for a faction. We still leaning towards the LCG with that in mind?

Bostwick · « **Reply #75 on:** 07 December 2011, 19:24:34 »

Thread change threw me off, I was wondering where everyone went.

foxbat · « **Reply #76 on:** 08 December 2011, 02:45:14 »

Still there, Bostwick! Just take care threads get closed now at 50 pages, though these are now full at 25 posts. Speaking of which, was it 2003 or 2004 Lanceman launched the very first one? IIRC, it was around this time of the year.

Deathrider6 · « **Reply #77 on:** 08 December 2011, 12:18:11 »

Sheesh it took me that long to finally open one of these Foxbat? Has it been that long? Wow.

foxbat · « **Reply #78 on:** 08 December 2011, 13:33:02 »

+chuckles+
eh, I barely opened one or two of these over the years myself! But I certainly posted a lot in them ;)

Klep · « **Reply #79 on:** 08 December 2011, 14:44:22 »

Shooting here in Blacksburg today. 2 reported dead, shooter still at large. :(

Keep your head down

Klep · « **Reply #81 on:** 08 December 2011, 15:22:03 »

That was the plan anyway. I woke up with a migraine today.

Klep · « **Reply #82 on:** 08 December 2011, 16:34:16 »

A weapon was recovered by the second victim, and they've apparently determined there is no more active threat. The school paper is saying it's possible the second victim was the gunman.

EDIT: The AP is reporting that now too.

I want to say it was '03. I remember talking to MDM about the CBT RPG Campaign I was running & the pics from the website for that are all dated '03.

There's nowhere in the local area to get donuts at midnight. Color me annoyed. What's worse is that the best donut shop in town is only open from 3:30 to 10 AM.

I have a couple of petrol (gas) stations locally that are open 24/7 and do Krispy Kreme if nothing else

I have a similer problem. Both Timmies are closed by 2300, so if I want late night Doughnuts Have to go to Stony or Edmonton

foxbat · « **Reply #87 on:** 10 December 2011, 06:45:47 »

Ouch, Klep. Really sad news, just take care.

Klep · « **Reply #88 on:** 10 December 2011, 11:03:31 »

So we've gotten more information about the shooting. It looks like what happened was the shooter stole a car, was driving it through campus when he saw a campus officer making random stops, panicked and shot the officer, ran off, realized what he had done, and killed himself. Things are basically already back to normal here though.

GreenDragon · « **Reply #89 on:** 10 December 2011, 15:06:42 »

Glad for that last part.

So I read an article last night. How many empires has Jennifer Anniston toppled? How many ships went off to war over her? If she is the "Hottest woman of all time," then clearly she is hotter than Cleopatra and Helen - who didn't even make the top 5. Strangely, most those listed are still alive.
