autospy turvey in LF many years ago did a Let's Play with Victoria and it was the funniest thread I've ever read.

He managed to get Serbia into the American Civl War and was good enough at the game to convince russia to give him moscow or something.

I'll say that Paradox games are much better at launch than in the EU 3 days. Crusader Kings 2 was a real turning point.

Holy loving poo poo has it been that long?

Going back to bland/bad food chat I finally got my mother (who grew up on a goddamned farm) to try medium rare steak. She believed it wasn't done unless it was leather, and it took me years to forgive her for growing up like that--also we ate steak like twice in 12 years I can remember as a kid since no one liked it for some reason or other.

She loved it :unsmith:

Which is sad because modern Para games have gotten a lot better at letting you play as non-European powers in Europa Universalis and HoI and Crusader Kings.

What about the guy who got banned from his guild because he was raiding in the waiting room while his wife was giving birth?

My favorite wow story was a guy in my guild who had a home invsion during the middle of a raid. He was into juijitsu though so he beat the poo poo out of the robber and then hog tied him with zip ties and went back to raiding. Turns out the robber was also into Wow and they had a good conversation while waiting for the cops.

Remember when public BETAs were more than just some 3 day publicity event? Now they are just long enough for people to have fun but short enough that no one discovers the huge flaws.

On Steam it's the opposite when games are in alpha but they sell it to the public and let them sort it out before "release"

Was BobFromMarketing also an EVE Goon, I mostly remember the drama around that whole thing involving an ArcheAge guild, and the members of said guild being very blase about him being a pedo because he was good at fishing or some poo poo

quote:

Remedial posted a lengthy [E/N] thread outlining the culmination of a longstanding antagonism between himself and his parents, wherein he claimed to reject his parents' "rich snob" values, and found himself cut off from financial support. With a wedding on the horizon, and law school tuition to pay, Dear Leader was a sad sight indeed. But he was among friends, as always, and goons reached deep to raise over $5,000 US to help keep him on his feet while he adjusted. The directorate gave their blessing on his project to open a store with Goonfleet branded merchandise, the proceeds of which would keep him afloat.

quote:

FNLN posted a series of horrifying nudes of Remedial and his wife that had been obtained at some point and in some manner that we are all better off not thinking about. [3] Remedial then purportedly threatened to sue Solo Drakban for stealing the goonfleet.com domain and somehow being responsible for not preventing the posting of the pictures and perhaps some other wild antics of goons. He demanded that the domain be returned to him, a bunch of server logs, ungoonie moderation and perhaps some sort of apology for not kissing his rear end enough or something.

Dude then went to jail because he used his position as a real estate legal guy (I don't know what that's officially called, not a realtor) to scam the elderly out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in phony mortgages. After he got out he joined the army.

In EVE Goons are really close to several Russian guilds which are vaguely backed by legit super rich oligarchs. Which have used IRL intimidation of opponents to gain advantage in game. Eve is a loving crazy rear end "game."

he didn't go to jail, his scam was that his law office would "help homeowners adjust their mortgage" which was basically take $3k from someone already broke, fax a request to their bank to pretty please reduce their loan, no guarantees

the state government wasn't real happy bout that and shut him down hard

i think that was the only thing his 'law office' did
