  1. Slightly? (Edit: Oh - as in "just before launch". Sorry - I had a vision of par-frozen people. Ignore me. As you were.)
  2. It's the name of the Man in the Moon "There was a man lived in the moon, lived in the moon, lived in the moon, There was a man lived in the moon, And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle, And he played upon a ladle, and his name was Aiken Drum. And his hat was made of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese, And his hat was made of good cream cheese, And his name was Aiken Drum. And his coat was made of good roast beef, of good roast beef, of good roast beef, And his coat was made of good roast beef, And his name was Aiken Drum. And his buttons made of penny loaves, of penny loaves, of penny loaves, And his buttons made of penny loaves, And his name was Aiken Drum. And his waistcoat was made of crust pies, of crust pies, of crust pies, And his waistcoat was made of crust pies, And his name was Aiken Drum. And his breeches made of haggis bags, of haggis bags, of haggis bags, And his breeches made of haggis bags, And his name was Aiken Drum."
  3. Aiken Drum. My fave Julien May character because of the classic nursery rhyme he got the name from. Good story
  4. * Stands up in the circle* Hi. I'm Anonymous, and I'm a roleplayer. It's been 63 days since my last IC interaction...
  5. Because it is the irrepressible nature of the Twerk. Try some reverse-psychology. Have a fantasy about Twerk being open and transparent, and it will return to the shadows whence it came. Or troll you harder. YMMV.
  6. Even AIs get bored and want a bit of company every now and then...
  7. 'Sup. Canberra, Australia here. There are a few of us about. I'll be starting an (in-game - so we welcome players from anywhere to cater for those role playing Aussies/Kiwi types) themed A/NZ org straight after the writing comp - related to my entry so "it's a suprise". It will be a "cultural" org (which means you can also be in other orgs, has no real "leadership" per se,) and will represent a particular sub-group of us. So yeah - would certainly love to see other "flavors" of us! (Or people interested in sharing / developing the sub-culture I'm introducing - DM if interested, or wait till after the comp ) And I'm, again, as per other posts/DM's etc, very interested in speaking with any and all Aussie / New Zealand players about how we as a group might see the history of our lands unfold in DU's history.
  8. Hopefully you are keeping the "alt char" process seperate to general cyrotech!
  9. And yet, I am still the Hill. And thus your King. For now and ever more. Plus I got me this merc if you are going to argue about it. Nice guy. Left me his card. I'm getting a little sick of people fighting over me to be honest. I mean, I'm just a fucking hill.
  10. Without the Hill you are Nothing. You are a King, but also my Slave. I am the Hill.
  11. The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Without the Hill, there is no King The King exists only because the Hill does. I am the Hill
  12. Welcome Yes - plenty of time to pick an Organisation. Prospecting is the right word (for exploring and locating minerals). So you are a Möbeltischler? (Actually I bet there is an exact translation for your trade in English - we have all specialisations and certifications (certainly in Australia), same as Germany).
  13. Because, alas, we aren't the authors of the tale So we need to work with what we have.
  14. Linux Foundation would prob back it tho, spun the right way. Just going to leave that there...
  15. Can we call it "poetic or historical license"? (Notwithstanding that we all went waaaay further than a couple of light years...) - we can simply say that the Lore is our understanding of "the time before". There is no one left on Earth etc who can correct what we on Alioth have as "history", and we know the AI too is limited in terms of what happened. Our Lore may just be what scientists postulated would happen. Or maybe it's a nicely sanitized version so we don't have to think about how horribly existence was wiped out. /shrug
  16. I for one am more than happy to help members with XXX to English translation/transliteration. Caveat A: I intend to enter the competition, unless there is overwhelming demand for this service, in which case I'll take one for the team. Caveat B: I will not promise more than "as and when I am able". That said, I'm confident that won't be an issue unless there are a lot of people who need help. Caveat C: I will not work with PDF files - HTML or TEXT please. Note that I use automated tools for the most part - quality is generally equal to translation quality expected in International Standards or International Relations documents. DM me as needed, or send things to me on Discord.
  17. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Pz5KsyfN0 Let me know what I win and I'll send you the appropriate details for sending/deposits.
  18. Like ATM says it's cool and detailed, just, I'm trying to get my head around it all - is it like, your thoughts on your DU org for like 2-3 years in the future?
  19. Take a thing, leave a thing should def be in there too nothing valuable like you say.
  20. ???? Necessary I think the key word is there (in terms of volume). Made me think tho - stationary point sec could also include pure Customs work - anti-smuggler stuff, either ground OR low orbit (for the non ground pounders). Potentially a niche unfilled compared to anti-piracy orgs.
  21. a) Yeah - MOS branches would be cool. Also - it suggests a member size you won't necessarily start with. Think about workable starting structures which can grow into this. c) If it a naval structure and Captain is OF5 (Nato) as opposed to the title of a ship's CO, think about XO, CAG and other roles where on large ships you can have 2 or more Captains. It may be easier to have Commanders as CO's, and make Captain a Flag Captain of a taskforce size group, with multiple groups under your R.Adm O2. Just thoughts. Looks good btw
  22. Glorious colonial paradise under fearless El Presidenté AI leader!! Death to the Great Twerkdemon, Long live the Revolution!!!
