What did you guys want to be when you grew up.
I'm not an adult yet, and I still am unsure about what job I want. I used the Holland personality codes, and I'm an IES, which suggests pharmacist, but that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Some other jobs it says I might be good at are physician, actuary, and training manager. Of those, actuary and training manager look the most intersting. But this isn't just about me. What dod you guys want to be when you grew up?

Disband instead of retreat
My understanding of the rules of the game were that you were allowed to simply disband a unit instead of retreating it. Is this also true of webdiplomacy? When the retreat round comes will my pull down menu offer a disband option?

Anyone live within a few hours of Gainsville, FL?
If you are interested in a Face-to-Face game, there is an avid Dip player who wants to try to organize sme ftf games in FL. I personally live a few hours away, but we find the 3-4 other players we need, it'd be worth trying to organize a game. write inside if you want to play or live close enough.

I am so SICK of the Gaga Person!
She's an unoriginal hackjob with no talent except to gratify others through the basest of all techniques (in other words, she'd make Hugh Hefner pretty happy) and for getting her name out with scandals that flood the Web and take away from the important news (Arizona's immigration law? BP Oil Spill? The Economy?)

How do you feel about this...person (and THIS pisses me off): http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/220323/lady-gaga-photo-irks-beatles-fans/

I'm having an *extremely* frustrating day at the office, anyone care to spar verbally? I'd love to tell you why you're a pathetic lazy dirtbag you are, especially if you're not one and can take a razzing without flipping out...

I would love to spar with you, but the truth is, I find you so worthless, that it simply wouldn't be worth my time.

@abg - that's a friggin laugh coming from *you*, of all people. Do you think I *care* what you have to say? Even your *handle* is pathetic - "all right" - can you get any wishywashier? Jesus.

@ Gobba - you know, I *am* inconsiderate. You know why? Because all my *money* goes to leeches such as yourself. Why the fuck would I give a rat fuck about anyone who expects me to work my ass off and then to profit from *my* hard work through transfer payments while they sit at home playing Halo while sitting in their underwear.

@strat

I find it humorous how your enormous ego prevents you from accepting help from others. Your pathetic attempt to ridicule me only serves to project your own insecurities. Furthermore, of everyone on this site, you are most ill-prepared to criticize usernames. I'd go so far as to say that most of the items on McDonald's dollar menu are more cleverly named than you.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

@strat

That was clever; I hope you weren't up too late thinking of that one. Unlike you, I don't have an uncontrollable compulsion to spit out the first thing that comes to mind, allowing me to come up with much more clever retorts than you could ever hope to come up with.

@strat - just becuase you don't know the difference between pre and post incrementation/decrimentation isn't a reason to go off on others. Jesus, man, just read a C++ for Dummies book already.

13 Jul 10 UTC
I'm more than willing to accept help from my peers or those who know more than I, but you? It's like.. my two and a half year old offering to help me lift a couch - it'd be cute if it wasn't so crazy, but sometimes you have to protect people from the things they're just not capable of realizing are beyond them.


{note: my first nickname online was a *lot* worse than this one. It appears someone is reusing it now, so I won't state it and get confused with some other jackhole, but holy crap, did I have an ego back in the days of BBS and Usenet)

b) I don't code monkey any longer, I have people who code monkey for me. And they do a better job than *you* can do, if you're under the impression that C++ is cutting edge. Do you still wear bell bottoms with your 1980s language?

@strat

Why anyone would believe you're a father is beyond me. Despite the anonymity the Internet typically brings, it is overwhelmingly clear that you are, in fact, nothing but an over-weight, pimple-ridden, college drop-out, presumably living in your parents basement. The only credit I can give you is that you've learned to type without looking at your keyboard: a necessity since it's long been encrusted over by a think layer of cheese curl residue from your fingers.
stratagos (3269 D(S))

@abg - speaking of fathers, did you ever figure out who yours was?

Nothing shows weakness like being unable to handle your own insults. Maybe you should try accusing me of having cooties, or would that be too much for you to handle?

{that actually made me laugh, btw. not the direction I thought you would go}
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
13 Jul 10 UTC
What's the matter? Cheese curl got your tongue?
stratagos (3269 D(S))
13 Jul 10 UTC
Considering 'cooties' is another way of referring to human lice, it would be pointless to say you have them - that'd be like saying you were born with two arms and two legs. Your habits are such that it would surprise me if your hair, clothing, and pubic region were *not* infested with millions of blood sucking parasites.

Assuming you were both with two arms, that is - my understanding is the heavy drug use your parents indulge in predates your birth, and hence may have been a cause for defects. Their heavy use *after* your birth is perfectly understandable

@Strat - I left that speeling error and this won (and that grammar error) just so you could feel good about yourself.

As far as coding is concerned... Those that can do, those that can't get promoted to a position where they can't do any harm and interfere with those that can. Congrats on your promotion out of the ranks of the useful.

{Actually, my preferred language is C# using .Net 4.0 and I did the Global Application Architect as well as the IT Guy thing for several years. I went back to consulting cause I'd rather deal with code than people in real life.}
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

The fact that you would joke about such serious birth defects shows your absolute lack of sympathy and human compassion. It is no wonder you find yourself constantly lonely and hated by everyone you meet.

Draugnar (0 DX)

@Strat - a woman with hair on her upper lip and a vestigial penis should not poke fun at other people's birth defects.

I was beginning to think you'd gone off to the storage room to cry. I would congratulate you on your ability to withstand insults, but I'm pretty sure it's do to your sociopathic nature.
