Guy sees dog licking his balls, says to his friend “I wish I could do that.”

Friend replies “You might want to pet him first.”

gravedigr points out that Tradewars.com has a totally different game posted, called Exarch. Maybe it isn’t different…. did they just change the name, and why?

Do you have info or wish to speculate?

I try not to post too many off-topics, especially in one day, but this story needs to be read. Anyone who isn’t affected by this story is just dead…

“Marine killed in Iraq was orphan immigrant who enlisted to thank U.S. for his new life”

Be sure to forward this to any jackasses who think their life is “tough”.

“I am also pleased to say they had no effect on us. In fact we destroyed one of the jammers with a GPS weapon.” More

The “Text Adventure” pops in at #7. Suprisingly, the “Graphic Adventure” is dying faster, because it hit #1.

Silver Dragon posted some USO info in the forum:
“I must say its been a pretty good game so far, we are a few weeks into the game and still have several corps alive and well. Star Endeavors have built themselves a nice little lead. Scoring 22 kills giving them 220 points, they have also invaded 13 lvl 2 and above planets which should pay out some nice dividends at the end of the game providing they can hold them.  “ More..

Starting within the next few days, I’ll be running ping tests all day long to determine if my ISP is still fast enough to host a TWGS. If the pings are too slow, no BBS. I’ll keep people updated.

** updates in this thread.

Holy cow, nothing to report. So to hell with it, let’s do some off-topic.

I’m real big into the gym right now. Unlike past experiences with the House of Pain, there is definetely something different, something deep down, driving me this time…

I don’t want to die young from being a lazy ass.

So if you have any experience in muscle building or weight loss, drop a note in my thread.

It seems to me that Tradewars has to have the most confusing community outside of the one where people dress up as animated characters. For instance, this page is called “The Home Sector” yet the address is thestardock.com. When this site was still running it’s own tradewars server, it was called “The Stardock”. Common sense would usually dictate that if you had a website running a server, you would probably name it after the website. Then again if you’re an employee for pollstar, you probably don’t have an IQ up there with Stephen Hawking.

Then there’s the acronymns. Let’s see how many I can remember just off the top of my head: TWGS, TW, TW2002 TW:G, TWH, TWX, TW:DM, HS, SD, CF, ISS, SWATH, ATAC, USO, SST, SSD, PT, TWAR, ZOC, EIS, JP, DE, HHT, BOTE, WTC, and J-TWAT. The last one is actually a helper and not a porn site. Regardless, if you can do a search for it in google without getting a site that involves carnal gymnastics, you’ll have my admiration until you realize what a waste of time that was.

Want more? I write for this website and also that other one you might have heard of. Heck, I’ve even been a part of this community so long I can’t figure out if I should called myself Mana Knight or “MK”. I mean, MK is just so much more cool and sexy then the full version. Maybe I should just do the same to my real name and have people call me “JG.” Yea, they’ll say “JG, what’s up!” and I’ll just point to them and nod.

Is it any wonder why we get so few new people playing this game?

[Forum]: I like, totally disagree with you! J-TWAT really is refering to porn!

Silver Dragon states: “The USO is going well. A few players have died from STD’s, but the orgies are still going 24/7! “

Well thanks for that update, Silver. Now get your hands off my ass.
