Oh posted this in the other thread.
Can't confirm, you have to be dead or in late stages of death to get tested here.

Pretty sure I can add myself for March 13th as that's when my symptoms finally started, already knew I was screwed for about 4 days before that, or somehow naturally immune.

Was already remote mostly, but no one works, so nothing gets stressed, and nothing breaks.
It's beautiful, everyone else I work with is from 3rd party, service, or provider companies, all their contracts are on hiatus. I am getting paid to watch a dead email for automated problem tickets, because there is no one in any office right now to generate them.

Not all that great though, family and I all probably got the wuhan. Who knows, you have to be cold on a slab before they will test you here, and there is no cure so it is what it is. Got passed around in my kids school. We knew we were screwed when her friend missed a week of school, then we hung out, heard the cough, her mom told us the symptoms, and then our states confirmed infections went from 0 to 20+ the next day. We isolated but had to keep sending to school and do some shopping. About 5 or 6 days later my kid got sent home from school with 103 fever, 2 days later they canceled school for a month. We all had symptoms within a few days. Kids both bounced back really fast but still have low fevers, cough, and headaches. Grumpy as hell too. Wife and I are not as easily but probably will fully recover.

Basically amounts to a really intense flu with cough and sometimes breathing problems. Wife and I both had 103.5ish fevers for about 24+. The spacing was weird. I was the last to finally be taken down a few days later than wife, who was a few days later than both kids who were basically the same time. Honestly, I make some joke of it a bit, but there was a solid 24 hours where I wasn't sure I would make it, and frankly that would have been just fine. It doesn't seem that bad because there isn't any digestive related issues, but besides that it is the sickest I have ever been.

Also a PSA against stockpiling. We went to Costco while we were isolating to buy fluffing toliet paper before the apocalypse people snatched it all, and likely spread this fluff to many others. Just another effect of stockpiling during a crisis. We could have made it 15 days with out but there was no telling what 15 days from then would be like. It took us 45 minutes to shop, and another 30 to check out...

Just buy a bidet toilet seat though, the only silver lining from all of this. Finally convinced my wife. Thanks Corona Virus!

Fast lanes are good?!? For who?
So you want to be charged more for less? You want the internet for sale to highest bidder?
You want to have to wait constantly for web pages to load while premium services eat up all the bandwidth?

Internet should be free from control, free from privatization, free from meddling, free from profiteering, and certainly free from prioritizing who paid more for the same bandwidth.

Maybe I am jaded or because I see it from inside but.. En4cer is pretty much on the money.
Eugene and SolidSnake are 2 of the best netters, 2 of the best warrers, usually active even when they say they aren't. Ingle is also worthy of discussion.

While I think Dragon is probably the best or at least most known stonewaller; Eugene when fully active is pretty unkillable, he just doesn't advertise his country as much.

Eugene and SS also lead many chats and usually successfully.

That sucks ford.. Wrong place, wrong time, near the wrong idiot. An example of how the few can ruin it for the many.

All for any suitably stable person owning a gun, but I think gun safety training needs to be mandatory.. Also who the fluff doesn't hold their gun downward while messing about? After this if I see someone waving that fluff about instead of holding it down, I am running, taking them out, or calling the cops... maybe a combination there of. Never gave it much thought at a range before.

The best place is country side though.

1) The name hand ball was taken, and who knows why it ended up being football... Oval ball? Carry, Kick, Run ball?
2) I think most want to switch to the metric system but at a certain point it would require too much work. So much software would need to be rewritten or changed, so many measuring devices would become obsolete. It never will happen.
3) AwayTeam at HomeTeam
4) In a flat and/or multiple team list, it makes sense to have home team listed first.

Sure Atryn, SoL are saints. Not a single bad intention. No one is gullible to believe this is anything beyond what it has been taken as. It's another vector on which to mount an attack against LaF, which is fine have at it. The issue to me is that instead of worrying about what is best for TIE and their desire to stay together, SOL is more interested in attacking LaF and trying to recruit from us.
TIE and LaF have had at least 4 year FDP, shared boards for members and leaders, a few talks on fusions and mergers in the past, and at least one regular that plays werewolf with us. Our members seem to get on well. We offer them a no strings attached place to stay together and play. It is unfortunate a few weren't interested in coming to LaF, but many did and to try actively and publicly to cause more division is one of the more unsavory things I have seen from SOL.

Pretty low. I couldn't imagine a future scenario in which LaF and SOL could be anything but enemies after this.

afaik the LaF tag has existed every reset of every game since it was founded. That includes having a LaF tag here and jolt in e2025s last reset. From what I remember.

Also congrats, it's a pretty huge achievement, there are very few of us that have been here every reset like that and even in the end of the game I doubt the list goes beyond a handful.

dead horse is dead

Their has been no interest in adding developers, and as such this game will not progress. 1 person doing the coding for a project (a busy person at that) will be able to maintain the game at best.

Much work would be needed, choices would need to be made.

he can call it spin all he wants, it is the truth.

LaF wont admit to it, they wont give up who it was and they will be back in LaF next reset.
Likely he was directed or got he okay to do this.

You are a fluffing moron. You ever think by done with the game means this is his last set? Means he doesn't plan to play again? No because you are either the dumbest mother fluffer I have ever seen or all you know how to do is battle semantics, and they aren't mutually exclusive so probably both are true.

Sure a lot of whining about suiciding in this thread. It's funny and deserved when it happens to LaF though right? Maybe some development changes are needed to combat griefing.

This will be the last post on the subject. It's resolved via 1 less player playing the game, likely due to consistent poor design choices.

This constant spin is why I would never trust you or SoL while you are leading. I didn't distance anything, didn't know who it was when I posted.
I'm certainly not announcing on AT who it was, and nor would it matter. No one outside of LaF would even know the person.

No clue. We have a number of dead players, might be one of them.
It's being investigated. If it is we sincerely apologize.

I can say with something like %100+-.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 certainty it was not candy though.

I will also add with that same amount of certainty that it was in no way conspired, executed, or authorized by any LaF leadership.

No, tella is accusing candyman of cheating. Maybe there is a lack of common sense..
"but candyman detagged and quit laf/earth about a month ago" -Eugene
We know his original country. You have 3 LaF ahead+ telling you hes not playing his country. It's not even tagged LaF.

I am just really interested to know why Candy is being accused period. He truly must be the games greatest monster(not to be confused with Monster).

I assume EVO and RAGE are pacted, and that still didn't stop RAGE from topfeeding EVO, while at war.

That is a reflection of leadership, if nothing else.


and the fact that it was that guy which did it. Self fulfilling prophecy or some fluff.
By your argument then MD has VERY POOR leadership letting one of there members suicide multiple alliances including your own. Yet I see that didnt stop you from working with them. Stop being hypocritical.

You know as well as I do that one members actions is not a reflection of leadership. Its how leadership react to that single members actions that is a reflection of leadership...

However if this is what this thread is about, why the hell are they coming to fluff on AT 8 days after the grab? I mean really? THAT is a reflection of an alliances leadership.



MD's leadership rallied the entire alliance and paid extremely favorable reps for all of the "member" damage done by the suicide. Including honoring 200% land to land plus extra for any pacted allies that were hit.

I dont think these situations are comparable in any context.

I won't even waste my time with the rest but "even if you all had 0(0) turns, 5 days of turn save would put you at 120(120) + 120 lost turns to overflow" is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard...

Do you mean to tell me that your members are so stupid/obedient that when you go red alert that they would let their turns overflow as opposed to spend enough not to overflow?

I sometimes wish membership was so easy to lead, instead of being a clowder of cats, but knowing such blind stupidity/obedience exists makes me happy for the members we have.

Watch out for those guys who make 1000 hits with nobody hitting them back! Their war skillz are to be feared!

And yes, kinda calling you out because you are bragging on AT about something not to be bragged about. Just because guys can mash the "Attack Again" button when nobody is hitting them isn't some amazing feat.

LaF has a lot to be proud of, but that was silly, Symac.

Maybe next set we can brag, but that wasn't bragging. It was a direct threat that adding a few more targets to hit would suit us just fine.

But keeping poking. ;) I get bored easy.
