Malls are terrible strongholds for post-apocalyptic scenarios. Too many entrances and places to hide.

Not to mention about seven hundred thousand other people have the same idea. It would be chaos.

I'll head to less populated towns, thanks.

What caused Google's cessation of ad revenue?

I've been hearing it was something Griever posted quite a bit, but I could be wrong.

After the ad revenue got yanked, a bunch of people went on a reporting spree on 1x1 because the revenue did get pulled for something that Google's search bots picked up, which I think was pornographic in nature. I could be wrong, but this is pretty much how I understand it.

I wish I could dig up stuff from the old guild, just to dig up some of the applicants we had. Good memories. :D

I had thought as much, but if those Thalmor suspect anything, I've never anything that can do anything after being run through with a sword.And of course, I had thought of that, which was why I was going to change it to "one of the better" in Tamriel. And of course, He's not a Rambo or Game PC, and he's VERY used to working with other, experienced soldiers. Legging it as a loner is not something he is going to do. Or for longer than he has already, anyways.And sooner or later, I will try to acquire Orcish, or maybe Dwemer.Maybe during the endgame, a glass sword, but thats miles away.

Suits me fine! I certainly don't expect you to be one of the guys who are like 'Killin' everyone in dah room with mah sword', I was using the Rambo thing to kind of illustrate why we have the skill system in place. :D So far, it's worked pretty well and people have adopted it for other games. Kind of a source of pride there.

As for his fighting style, I was actually mulling it over when I was reading it, since I imagine he'd quite used to fighting in formations as a part of a unit, so I was kind of surprised at how you described it. Not that I'm concerned, I just thought it was interesting.

With the equipment, it's similar to how we have the skill system. While the high-tier stuff is definitely nice quality, don't get too worried about what it's made of. Somebody with a cheap iron sword can still best a better armed opponent if he's a better fighter and so on. I always liked how orcish stuff was designed, with lots of jagged hooks.

Dervish, I live in Edmonton. Last I recall, you weren't far from there.

Drunken Valley, my friend. Keepin' it classy.

Because people don't debate there. They don't even argue. Debating and arguing would imply discussion, which doesn't generally occur there. It's ordinarily just people repeating themselves and circle jerking into oblivion, while blaming other people of doing just that.

Maybe Magic Magnum should see the recent discussions here. He seems to think Spam's incapable of having a serious discussion.

But seriously, I like Spam discussions because generally they're civil and I feel like I learn something. :D

Dervish and Brovo are like the only two other Albertans I know on this forum. And it's like nearly every Albertan I meet online lives around Edmonton.Being Calgarian sucks.

Meanwhile, most of my friends who moved out to Alberta are around Calgary. Give them back, fiend!

There really should be a sticky at the top of the 1x1 section saying, "Your smut is the reason oldGuild got wiped from the net. Tone it the fuck down." Preferably making all that the title and the actual post content a simple "^".

Or we could just post "Post Smut, Get Banned. No Second Chances."

That might get some attention.

To be honest your country's inner differences simultaneously confuse and interest me for this reason. Here in Canada, while there are some differences here and there, the majority of us are pretty similar in what we are--Canadians. (Except Québec and arguable the Newfies, everyone identifies themselves as Canadian, and what rivalries there are here are very timid and calm. The only time I can think of an exception is over hockey.)Versus the States, where each geographic area has its own distinctive traditions and accent, and that's just the surface of it. It's almost colourful in some obscenely chaotic way that makes it just... Interesting.

The most regional rivalry/ active dislike tends to go back and forth between the rest of the provinces and Quebec.

The territories are hugely different from anything you're used to, my friend had some rather... colourful stories from up there.

And my town has people from all over because it's pretty much a recession-proof region, so I can pick up right away from when people aren't from around my town. I have a harder time picking out Western accents and most of Ontario, but you can tell right away if someone's from the Maritime provinces. I generally don't see too much cultural friction between the various regions of Canada, safe for a few exceptions. I think we're more prone to celebrate our differences and focus on what makes us similar. Doubtless I have quite a different upbringing and values than most Westerners, but it's not enough for me to really find too many odds with them, for instance.

I wanted to say this earlier, I was on a StarFox RP back in the day.Looking back though, my character was like an anthro version of Hans Landa.I have a hidden history with the Furry Fandom.

Haha, you would have liked what we did. We basically turned the entire system and story into some pretty heavy military/ political thing with more war crimes than you can shake a stick at. The Cornerians even had a special forces that was modeled after the SS who in a lot of cases were bigger monsters than Venom.

If you end up telling me your screen name is Panzerwolf I'm going to laugh my ass off.

Compareing Spam, and 1x1 to shadow the hedgehog game.

Wait wait wait. Back the fuck up.

Somebody actually played that Shadow the Hedgehog game?

I wanted to literally rip Serana apart in my first Dawnguard play-through.That bitch would pay for her repetitive lines and her kill steals and her fucking stuffy personality.

There's a mod called 'Serana shut up!' that gets rid of a lot of her repetitious dialog.

After being asked 'Hey, what is it?' every single time I stopped was rather maddening.
