[flugauto]

Yay! Now free of Thoth's peaceful vices, WAR Commodore will finally *finally* show himself.

Com Ho Dor, when do you invade Plako?

[Thoth]

That being said, I'm off to read the Lurker thread.

You've been an awesome lurker, cheers Thoth, have a badge!

Thanks mate, it was fun....even if I haven't been participating much over the last 6 months.

Oh, and yeah good job Thoth... maybe lurk me sometime?

My plate is full atm with two active PBEMs, but maybe when my game commitment is a bit lower.

"Quench your weapons in the hot blood of the strongest foes! Consecrate your guns with their stolen lives! Burn the cities, slaughter the innocent! Cry your prayers to the bloodied gods and let the sky burn red with rage! The rivers will flow red with their blood! And they shall know us by the trail of their dead from here to the Lost Homes!"
-Prophet Raj Jumbossa of the Red Kali cult, to the Zulu soldier-slaves tasked with taking the Friday Hill from the 16th Generic.


"You fools! Peace is the way! In thirty years, I will be forgotten and these jackals will be calling for another in sacrifice! What are we, Zulu? Science and pacifism, these are the Generic ways!"
-Dr. Thoth Khantarun, just before being tarred and feathered in front of a roaring crowd by SGK authorities.


This old hammer killed Khemhaddi,
But it can't kill me.
Take this hammer, take it to the Captain,
Tell him I'm gone, woman, tell him I'm gone.
-Anonymous, "Hammer Song". Sung throughout the work camps by Servants of The Tao making the ships and guns of the Army of Heaven.

-Mad Burgher Bigger, to a group of prisoners he ordered be "executed by boredom".

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
Generica! Generica!
Heaven shed its light on thee,
And crown thy kings with mastery
From sea to shining sea!
Generica! Generica!
May the Tao thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain, divine.
O beautiful for loyal dreams
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
Generica! Generica!
Heaven shed its light on thee,
And crown thy king with mastery
From sea to shining sea!

This has been "The War of the Sunk Costs Fallacy"

These are my sunk costs.

What happened? I can't quite piece it together from the pictures.

What happened? I can't quite piece it together from the pictures.

Briefly, I saw shot at killing the Pindicooter 8-pack of frigates so I took it, but on the return they killed all the killers. About equal numbers lost, actually; I lost 10 frigates and killed 10 frigates in the exchange, but sadly I also lost Regoarrarr's ship.

Value on the Regoarrarr scale of disappointment?
