Informative post - every game needs one.

For those of you who may have been wondering, this is what Profit Margin looks like entering Jump...



Of course you never want to actually see this view, because that would mean you are adrift in space, and about to be left behind.

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Or we have found a wreck, repaired it, claimed it as bounty and are now following along behind?

Well, glad you made that picture then so we don't have to be adrift and left behind.  ;)

...I don't like being adrift and left behind.  Can we stop looking at the picture now?

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Of course...  I have a picture of a misJump somewhere.  Just give me a few minutes to find it.

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

MisJump?  Hezmana no!  I'd sooner be adrift and left behind.  At least that way my frelling internal organs will stay internal and exclusive to me.

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Well Played indeed :)

I was half wondering how we could get a postponement in, so that the rest of the game could continue.  I can sense an ongoing conversation thread coming up shortly.

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Which, thinking about it, is a good thing because I may well be unable to post properly for a few days as I will be away from home living in a tent and reenacting a battle.

I also have a really busy September coming up, two major projects at work (which are being done to us and I have to manage the effects locally) as well as (what could be) an intense week away training.  I got offered the chance to take a part time Master's Degree funded by my employers - and even at my age that is too good an offer to turn down.   It is about 30 years since I finished my last degree -  so getting back into academic writing could be interesting  :)

Well, at least you finished, Ty.  ;)

Tylen Orgesh:
Tylen ejaculates, as much at the timing as the urgency in Jago's voice.

Don't worry, Sushi, he'll call you later...  :p



On another note, congratulations IRL, Ty.  :)

Wow.  O_o

I'd say something like 'I completely missed that', but I'm sure it would be fuel for the fire.

It just means that Shui doesn't have a dirty mind.  Unlike some people on here  :P

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Thought I'd share something with you while we're waiting for the air/raft to explode in a ball of superheated plasma...

I have this job at a doggy daycare place.

Part of my job is walking dogs, sometimes quite long walks, and other times much shorter (depending on the dogs).

This is a photo, taken at about 10.00 this morning.  Each time I have to take a long dog walk, I go past this place.  It is in a park which is located around a pond (only a small portion of which is shown) just around the corner from work.  I walk to the park, go right around the shore of the pond, then back to work.

Today it was a beautiful, clear morning (but cold, with a slight frost), and the pond was full of ducks and geese flocking together to get ready for migration.

This sort of thing is why I love my job.  :)

Why not land the Margin on those rednecks?  That'll teach them.  To, er, be flat?  :p
