      Wow... that was a heck of an RUD.

  3. OK, I need to say something. Until today I have had absolutely no problem helping anyone with a question about the game, including what little I can concerning issues with 1.4.2 and the DLC. 

    But from here on I am NOT, repeat NOT going to chime in or help on any threads, not if they're just going to turn into a squad-bashing nightmare!

    I've had it, and I will put up with no more. If someone wants my help, then pm me... I'm done trying to help on here, only to have my comments twisted around into some thinly veiled insults about @SQUAD.

    Don't try me, you'll be preachin' to the wrong person, and I'll just hit the "Ignore" button, and forget you exist.

    :mad:

      And by the way, speaking of the DLC, im my opinion, there's nothing wrong about it. It works just perfectly fine. So chill everybody, Squad will probably fix it later.

  4. Still have this cold, and it's making me grumpy and miserable... might be better if I logged off for a little while.  :mad:

      Yup, Gus is a fighter.  He's killed at least 8 interloping cats and befriended or at least tolerated 4 others.  That I know of.  He conducts most of his inter-cat business out of my sight so I'm sure the totals in both columns are greater.  After all, he's been at it for 9 years now, throughout which time he's been out there surviving amongst all the bobcats, panthers, foxes, coyotes, and wild hogs that live in my back yard.  He's got a few notches in his ears and I've had to take him to the vet twice for claws broken off in his face, but such is the life of an outdoor alpha male cat, even when neutered.  

      I drink to Greyghost's shade.  May he (she?) be in Cat Valhalla!

      Ghost was a he, and I hope so. He was a really cool cat. But he had heart problems, and right before the storm he went downhill in a bad way. I think he had a heart attack.  :(

      My condolences.  More drinks to Greyghost's shade!  What more fitting way to ride to Cat Valhalla than on the wings of Irma?

  5. WOOHOO... the power is back on!!! :D

      Yeah... i actually waited a few minutes before I did anything... but so far it's holding.

      Everything is charging... and this time we have the generator if it goes back out anytime soon.  :wink:

    3. Geschosskopf

      Geschosskopf

      Be sure to pour all gas through a coffee filter in a funnel on its way into the generator.  There tends to be a lot of rust flakes in gas available right after a storm.  That either clog the fuel filter (if there is one) or hose up the carburetor.

      Congratulations!

  6. Day 4... I think... Without power. 

    Not sure which is worse, that I've lost track how long it's been, or that I'm actually getting used to this... :confused:

      It could be worse. I lost power for EIGHT days after Snowtober 2011.

      The newest update on Duke Energy's website says it should be on by midnight tonight. I'm not holding my breath. 

      I missed Cassini... :( ... But I'm sure there will be lots of video on NASA's website 

    4. Urses

      Urses

      And now imagine, you have energy for sure everyday between 20 and 22 and the only what is on tv is propaganda....

  7. Awesome, my brother and his other half just brought us a generator! We have (slightly limited) power! Most important, the fridge is back on!!! 

    ETA on the real power being restored is Friday midnight

      I thought about FIMA, but I feel a little guilty... They should go to Naples and the other really badly hit spots.

      We have food and water. Now we have coffee!!!! :)

      ETA is still tomorrow night... Fingers crossed.

      FEMA. .. Opps

    3. Urses

      Coffee is the Survival item number one! Absolutely!

    4. Geschosskopf

      Geschosskopf

      Yay, coffee!  

      I find such times are good for practicing how to make friction fire :)

  8. Just got up, power still off... This sucks :(

    1. Geschosskopf

      FEMA ofren has portable generators tp keep ypur fridge cold.  Ask for one.  

    2. Just Jim

      Just Jim

      I think it's too late. Luckily its garbage night. And I heard they're operating OK

  9. Power trucks up the road, fingers crossed.

  10. Irma's eye is over us now... WOW! Wind Gusts are impressive...

    No real damage here so far, and it's still to dark outside to see clearly, but it looks like a palm tree across the street snapped in half.

      Right off US19, so here's hoping

    3. Geschosskopf

      Geschosskopf

      Fingers crossed.  If that doesn't work, apply to your local EOC for a portable generator so at least you can keep your beer cold---er, I mean, keep your freezer of meat from spoiling :D   Hurricanes bring in unreal humidity that lasts for weeks so while it might be nice and cool now, it';ll be sweltering in a few days.  With no AC, that gets really old really fast.  Hence the need for cold beer.,

      What a disaster. Hope you stay safe.

      Aw thanks

  12. I just received a somewhat troubling e-mail.... Without discussing the actual contents, or who it was from, let me be perfectly clear to everyone about one thing.

    If anyone thinks for one second they're going to try and get me to bad mouth @SQUAD, for whatever reason, they are sadly, sadly mistaken!!!  :mad:

      @Lo Var Lachland: Yeah, but I have been thinking about this for a while. I would have done it a while back ago, but I am afraid that no one would believe I'd be impartial. In reality, I'm extremely self-critical and probably would not rank my own work within the thread - simply because I do not like the idea of being a self-promoter.

      @Just Jim: :D that would be the intent - and why I have the two categories that may seem out of place.

      Maybe something like a Tread "Kerbal Today" like our weakly? But for present part ny part all the stories over time? Beside of adsii's idea? Tread is not supposed to diskuss but to oresent the stroeies and one different diskussion tread for critics and as contactplatform for the autors and Readers?

  13. I was just checking out your artwork... your characters are amazingly lifelike, and adorable! Do you do this professionally?

    1. Kokoro

      Kokoro

      Thank you.

      I don't draw professionally at all. I wrote an article about how I learned to draw a few years ago: http://kokorolibrary.net/nikki/?story=32  

      The only money I make is from selling my cards on etsy: http://kokorocards.etsy.com/

      OMG... I have to re-read that again, but we have a lot in common. I'll pm you tomorrow. :)

  14. Someone might be checking Emiko Station out later, so I'm switching my avatar back over to my hippie pic. This way she'll know it's really me.

    1. Dman979

      Dman979

      I remember this! I like it better.

      Are you going to get published?

    2. adsii1970

      adsii1970

      Ah, so that's what you look like! If you are on Facebook, look me up!

    3. TopHeavy11

      TopHeavy11

      Well, I'd say it looks fine.

  15. Just cleaned out a whole bunch of old messages... literally hundreds of old ones.
    But I may have deleted a few I shouldn't have. opps.

    1. Andem

      Andem

      I don't have too many messages, but don't use them enough to know the proper etiquette for terminating them... :rolleyes:

    2. adsii1970

      adsii1970

      Hahaha, I have done that before...

    3. Just Jim

      Just Jim

      I'm not sure the etiquette myself. But I had so many I thought I might get rid of the really old ones... then I realized I may have gotten some that weren't.

  16. OMG!!! 

    Emiko Station is now, by definiton, a novel!!!

    This afternoon I did something I should have a long time ago, back all the text into a Word document, just in case something bad happens to the forum. I did, both by chapter and one huge Emiko Complete. 

    So I looked it up, and The Nebula Awards catagories for writing are as follows:

    Short Story: under 7.500 words
    Novelette: 7,500 - 17,500
    Novella: 17,500 - 40,000
    Novel: over 40,000 words

    According to the word counter, Emiko Station has 76,034 words total!

    Emiko Station is officially a book!!!   :cool:

      Finally! Some evidence for why Emiko Station should be one of those published game fan-fic novels! You know, like those Minecraft ones I don't care about and can't remember. But 76,034 words - dang! That's way more than even in my longest, most overkill essays!

    3. adsii1970

      adsii1970

      Congrats... I think I will do the same. I've also saved my images on IMGUR in albums according to the chapter they are used in... Just thought I would pass that idea on.

      Congratulations! 

      Plus, in theJournal of Jebediah Kerman, Jen is reading your novel. :D

      Wow. I can't edit posts. I meant Jeb, not Jan, and I'm missing a space. XD

  17. I just finished re-writing all 60 Emiko Station chapters!
    I cleaned up and polished the format, and made everything more consistent, and hopefully easier to read.
    But I didn't change the story itself, so while I invite y'all to go back and see if you like how it looks, there is no "required reading" so to speak. I swapped out a word here and there, but the plots remain the same. I also spotted and corrected an embarrassing amount of mistakes, but I probably still missed some…  :rolleyes:

    Oh, I also added a new "Return to Index" link at the end of each chapter, to make navigating a little easier.

  18. I just noticed something weird.  How come my profile doesn't show any info on the people I'm following?  It did once... I think.... did this change with the last forum update? 
    Or did I change something I wasn't supposed to?

    1. adsii1970

      adsii1970

      Yes, it changed with the last forum update. Now it only shows the people who are following you. It would be nice if that were brought back.

      And while we are on it, I'd also like a static profile page - a page where what goes on is user defined... But that is my two cents.

  19. Debating if I should switch my avatar from Invader Zim to Thompberry Kerman... lol....
