No surprises here. I've considered myself fairly centrist for a while now.

I'm surprised to see myseld so close to SNP on the UK Election parties, though. Really surprising.

Why does that happen to you and not roman?

Hardly seems fair.

Only around friends who get that kind of stuff. Around most people I don't.

It's a good thing PPD doesn't count

Because I had a six month break last year that put mine down to like, 7 or 8. I've managed to start getting it back up though.

Gaming / Remember that Brute Chieftain from the end of The Ark? (H3)
« on: January 31, 2016, 04:35:17 AM »
He's got a backstory now

I gotta admit, I never knew the jumpers would let you 1v1 the chieftain as I always attack them. This is pretty cool, though.

Hey verb

Since this thread is well and thoroughly derailed anyway, I'm interested in your opinions on blood sports.

Like, if someone was able to open a gladiatorial arena for people to fight each other for money and people can bet on it,would you have problems with that? I just mean two people who are fine with it, not slaves versus lions like back in the roman times. It'd be kind of like a more extreme version of boxing or wrestling I guess, in the concept.

It's something I've been thinking about recently, both because I went paintballing and because I'm setting up a system for it in my own writing. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

Did it for 5 years

Terribly expensive hobby

Now I just airsoft

buddies and I go in the woods near his house run around and come home.

Yeah, I've spent £70 today. Completely worth it, though not something I'd do regularly.
Rough numbers here

45 dollars for entry fee on field
1000 paintball will last you a day 35$
I had my own gear so no need for rental

A basic gun Tipmann 98 custom or A5 is about 280$ plus taxes
A decent mask is 50$
I added mods to my gun
Longer barrel
Stock
Sight
16oz C02 Tank...


The field fee's add up over time.




Each normal size hopper has a capacity of 250 paintball

It was £40 for entry + 500 paintballs + gun + 12 rounds + armour and helmet

I paid an extra £10 for a refill, £10 for three smoke grenades and £10 for the M16 upgrade.

I don't get how throwing paint at a canvas can be considered anything above baby's first drawing.

Did war ever change?

It changed from one-bomb assault to one-flag to conquest to TDM to neutral bomb to infection to free-for-all

Does that count?

How many scrublord kiddies did you take out?

I know I got at least three - as in, I saw the ball explode on them.

But suppressive fire means I could have got a few or none at all.

Anything on Nickelodeon and Disney channel, Cartoon network, and TBS.

Well, Clone Wars and Rebels are pretty good

But yeah. All the new shit they put out is awful.
Clone wars is quality, i'll say that.

Yeah, I'm currently making my way through it now

I don't understand why it gets so much shit

I can't believe I screwed up this bad. I think I'll go see her in person, try to explain myself.

Taken out of context, I'd have assumed this was a roman post

X Factor (American Idol for yanks) - aside from watching people embarass themselves in the beginning stages, I don't see how people like this. Goes for stuff like britain's got talent, too.

Big Brother

Jeremy Kyle show

AKA daytime tv

Jezza is great comedy though

no

There should be a bane card which crashes a thread with no survivors

Like, you choose a thread and that thread plus anything else attached to it is instantly gone

Tried to make it like Bane's plan.


Yes

The Fire Rises!

Wait, Recon got the shaft??
That's so sad, what happened? This comp won't let me go to Bungie.

He warned a guy for discussing raiding #destiny because his opinion on the subject amttered more (The guy had messaged recon to protest it, saying discussion of raids wasn't breaching the CoC)

Then some other guy decided to make it into a massive deal and got recon sacked
Yeah but the mods have all done that for like a decade, what makes this situation any different?

I don't know

I think all the desticles got buttmad over it so that got him fired

The Halo 5 card

Choose one Quality Discussion thread and remove all effects applied to it

Spoiler
Because after halo 5 launched, no one liked it and now the thread barely gets posted in compared to how it did before

If there's any effects that switch cards to the opposing player's control, please make a TR-8R card that instantly strikes down traitor scum

We need a Kiyo Trap Card.

You'd also need isara for that

I've gone airsofting but never paintballing. Paintball seems like it'd be just as fun.

Vice versa. It was my first time paintballing today, though I do want to airsoft at some point.

I like the aesthetics of airsoft much more, but some people don't follow the honor system.

I don't actually know anything about airsoft

There's actually a store in town. Might have a look in some time

It's based on an honor system. If you shoot someone, you have to rely on them remaining honest and calling themselves out. Most people are honest, but every now and then you get cheaters who try to avoid it, but they typically get caught at some point by the refs. Aesthetics look cool though, you don't have stupid bulbs on the top of all your weapons, and aren't wearing dumb looking jumpsuits all the time. You can wear whatever you want as long as you have a mask. You can be casual with normal clothes or suit up in tactical gear. I find it much more preferential just because of these things, but I can't fully say until I go paintballing sometime for a comparison.

It sounds pretty fun

The bulbs on the top of the guns in paintball get kind of annoying when aiming. When you have the mask on, it's constantly stopping you looking down the sights properly

Though they're so inaccurate I don't think it particularly matters
