Hello folks...I check once every six months for shits and giggles.....I miss it sometimes...

Hola

Weeeeeee!

I could be here.

Poo.

I think using a photoshopped image from a biased website lacks class.

I remember shedding a tear when i saw the commercial for it and then Im fairly certain I played it for a year or two after, dang that was a good game.

Anybody ever read Plato's The Cave? Interesting concept that rings true today. Anyway, The fact that a person is 46% anything should be a moot point in this day and age. As long as people are sound of heart and soul then it shouldn't matter. As for Aileron, there are times when people can not be proud of our country isnt there? I mean isn't that the beauty of the country, to be able to say we don't agree or or not proud of our country? Theres plenty of reasons to like and dislike the country. By your language you take your bite out of one side of the two flavored ice cream, so if you want leverage in any debate you need to bring unbiased sources in the eyes of all viewing to the table. McCain will have gaffs, Obama will have gaffs, we are humans, not androids. And as bipedal humans we should walk toward truths, and not base our views on shadows on the wall.

Alot of tables are made but no one is sitting at them.

Ive nearly got 40 stars - its addictive great stuff. I'm going for the full 120 before I take on Bowser or whoever for the final battle. BTW, the first battle with him is fun.

In my county a good many years ago we were apparently the top drinkers of Dr. Pepper in the area. I usually drink it at least once a day.

Fred.

I'm ignorant on what goes into making and upgrading continuum, but from a logic standpoint I see a correlation between the main fellas time spent (with versions .37 and earlier) and the populations during those periods. I dont realize what goes into fixing bugs, but what seems obvious to me is that this new version is to fixed current player's existing problems and not drawing new people to continuum. So if no superficial upgrades are going to be made, then what if anything is being done for the next year or two of continuum?

Will there be any superficial updates to continuum? Graphics, new ships, weapons, effects, etc?

Online confirmed!

The 17th events may have drawn the high majority of the population but a vibrant pub population came too and as always my fondest 17th memories go back to that pub that we played in the other day (albiet slightly different settings and map). It came down to a conflict of interests in the past. But as for now, a rise is always some hope that theres interest in the zone. I think in retrospect it was sometimes a bad thing to hold an event during a high population pub. That division created an imbalance between pub and events, old and new. To much Yin or to much Yang = not good. Combine those with equal oomph = Woot. You get to much of one the other dies and people leave. If 17th ever lives again there needs to be an agreement between non-biased people on how the zone should be ran, with a common goal - and SS itself needs a MAJOR facelift, i hate this 10 year old same !@#$%^&*. New ships, graphics, weapons please. Balance people, balance. Rise in pop good. More fizz please. P.S. And if people are biased, then a common goal still must be set, with respect for each others ideas.

Subspace holds about 4% of my interest but with that, I would like to divulge every idea ive had in hopes that if anyone is interested that they will put these ideas to good use. I still pop in so its not like im leaving leaving but the addictive hold that once held me for SS action has gone away, but anyway onto the ideas. All names are tentative names. Also if any are used please use my name as the ideas man or source. 1) Music Theme Put notes of a musical instrument into each sound on a game, bombs, bullets, thors, decoy, mines, etc to make a song. Or, have something where you collect "notes" by collecting greens to make a song. Could be a simple Concert event. 2) Underworld When ships are killed they are spawned into the center, which is a lone base detached from everything. This would require a bot i guess, as each freq would spawn on different sides. This base is a maze and with several obstacles but when a person from a frequence reaches the center they will obtain the 4 or 5 souls of the god or gods. (4 or 5 greens) With that they not only are warped back to "life" they gain their team super/shields, whatever. As to prevent suicides ( i think) The main game would be point collection, whoever has most points or reaches a point goal wins the match, so when someone dies they lose that abilitiy to gain points and allows the other team to gain points easier. 3) Public Combinations This involves one tile ships and regular sized ships. 4 ships are regular sized, 4 are small. The 4 that are small have bullets, the regular have bombs. Specials go to the smaller ships. In the center there is a soccer base only accessible by small ships, it is small, so it would mirror sblball in some ways. On the outside is where the bombing and flagging is. The point is is that both sides small and regular have to work in conjunction to gain a certain point total to win the match. One cant live without the other. Also when small ships attach to regular they become the normal ships we see now. 4) Fate Escape Two ships are stationary on opposite ends with powerful sucking repels. Each frequency is with the opposing teams "black hole" as prisoners or whatever. When told to go,, these teams are to get to the other side. However the fates (greens) are standing in the way. when the greens are hit they automatically give the stationary ships the powerful repels and bursts and they suck ships back to them, burst, and eliminate them from the event. the only way is to get to the line of tranqulity, a thin line that is out of reach of both sides, and it is in that middle that ships will clash and try to get to the other side. Whoever has most ships on their home side wins. 5) Gods versus Men Ordinary ships with only bricks versus 3 gods. The 3 gods eliminate regular ships while the regular ships try to reach the center to achieve god status and take out the gods and whoever eliminates the final god wins the event. The kicker - each ship besides the Gods are on their own frequency, so the descision has to be made whether to fight each other or fight the gods. Also a one hit kill thor/bomb is the only thing that can take down the final god. 6) Bricker Bricking enemies, nuff said. 7) Survival A bomb with one hit kill shrap travels down a long corridor as ships try to scamper around doors to survive the onslaught - the thing is will the door you cower behind be open or closed? Finis (for now)

There is some inconsiderate !@#$%^&*!@#$%^&* who has the name Seung-Hui, Cho. He was on Alpha West and I understand that it is lax there on language, is there anything that can be done about that? Demented !@#$%^&*heads.

Its not the time to turn it into politics. What If's and everything else is meaningless at this point. I think they acted in the best way they knew how. Fingers are gonna point everyway and that wont answer anything - you could point the finger at people who read his writings which were apparently fairly disturbing - there were signs of his instability. But now isnt the time for the blame game.

I go to Radford and I've worked at Tech and my family works there too, it definetly is a horrible thing. My family and friends are alright but this morning was spent on the cell phone, classmates were crying and I made sure my family was alright. I didnt know so many other SSers were at Tech, I thought me and Cord were the only ones. It's good to know that you all are alright.

*gasp*

im on wii now too, my youtube works! Pretty cool stuff

Phoenix The theme is that every ship is an offshoot of the phoenix. This is a soccer zone that has two ballers, one long baller (phoenix/terrier or whatever name) and a short baller (probably weasel). The Phoenix Terrier has only one weapon; a burst that can fill half a base and take out anyone within its range. The purpose of all the other ships is to clear out/defend/hide/take cover against the coming of the phoenix. When it reaches a certain point the phoenix basically clears the base, enabling a quick and easy goal. Time Travel zone (!@#$%^&*S would be best i guess) From what i remember people telling me is that you could use wormholes as portals into other arenas or to other parts of the map. Bascially these different parts of the map would be past or future versions of the main map and possibly futureistic/past ships and sets. So you coudl have three interweaving arenas going at once with a logical end in the last arena or portion of the game. Repels have the bullet stopping thing. Use a time theme with the zone (flagging?) *Random ideas* An arena where you look bottom up at ships, or several arenas with different perspectives featuring new backgrounds/gameplay?. A side view, bottom up view, top down view... corner view? An arena that has a blue lined paper background and the ships are line drawings that shoot colored paper balls. Again most are probably event ideas but there needs to be a distinctive feature and a better interaction from the game to the player. A notable sentence in a wikipedia entry is that continuum has no storyline - make a story out of the people that play. If one was using the time theme, why does everything return to what it was every two weeks? Our scores reset to 0, Zero Hour? WTF? What should be sought after is easy accessible play and longevity. No looped out sets - fast levi = no-no. Logical places for these ships. Pub is Public - for everyone. None of the Pubbers are newb shat that sometimes came about in the past. Events should reflect mostly the settings of the public map and be defined as events that mirror the public. Special events (like a race, or any event that requires extraneous settings) should be denoted as special. Well i think im done. And if 17th is still the theme and still the name of the zone then that theme should be drawn upon. It doesnt necessary mean that army men or tanks or used, but combine the spaceship mythos with the battles of Vietnam. Or something. I dont know. I'm done with my idea spillage. No, More! Echoes One team is cloakers and another is Non cloak. The non cloak have bursts/mines that allow them to locate the cloaking team. Mines/burst do alot of stuff but do no damage. (similar to that metal gear event?) The only thing that does damage is a bomb or bullet. Also the only way to really see the cloaking team is to be in spec on the certain freq. Dont know what weapon cloaks get....brick maybe?
