Title: I Don't Think New People Can Sign Up
Post by: Damnable Fiend on 09 Feb 2010, 22:27
at least, several people I know have signed up to join these forums, and they aren't getting verification emails.  Trying multiple email accounts and asking the forum to resend the email multiple times doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Is that a thing? Do people say "hey I'm on this forum you should join too?" I think that's weird. The people I know on this forum are the only ones I would recommend it to. And they were here before me.

the email system is screwed, and this happened when the forum software was updated. So you don't get any email notification, and when people join they don't get the email with their password or activation link or whatever. Other people have brought this up, and I have talked to est about it, so he knows about it. He PM'd Ashton (the other admin) about it, but the dude hasn't gotten the email saying he has a PM about the email issue.


So yeah, there is a problem, yeah new people aren't able to actually post, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it.

How about a wall of ballistic towers surrounding the community.

To make sure they never make it here in the first place we could tick them as an allience, build ballistic towers in their commuinity and once we've built up their trust (and our towers) we untick them and let the towers obliterate them.

Quote from: Dr. Strangelove
Dr. Strangelove: I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy...heh, heh...at the bottom of ah...some of our deeper mineshafts. Radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep, and in a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in dwelling space could easily be provided.

Muffley: How long would you have to stay down there?

Dr. Strangelove: ...I would think that uh, possibly uh...one hundred years...It would not be difficult Mein Fuhrer! Nuclear reactors could, heh...I'm sorry, Mr. President. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country, but I would guess that dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided.

Muffley: Well, I, I would hate to have to decide...who stays up and...who goes down.

Dr. Strangelove: Well, that would not be necessary, Mr. President. It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. Ha, ha. But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years.

Muffley: Wouldn't this nucleus of survivors be so grief-stricken and anguished that they'd, well, envy the dead and not want to go on living?

Dr. Strangelove: When they go down into the mine, everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! [involuntarily gives the Nazi salute and forces it down with his other hand]Ahhh!

Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious...service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Russian Ambassador: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence.

My favorite AOE2 moments were when I'd destroy an enemy's town center and build a castle where it previously stood, and on any sites where a castle was. Slowly my kingdom would grow, 50 villagers/150 military units. Generally I liked to play as the Huns because fuck building houses.

Of course, in AOE3 (a downgrade in my opinion) I played against my sister and sent a bunch of Russian Strelets (sp?) into her main camp, she thought that the 3 blocks of 50 soldiers were shit throwaway units. Little did she know that I played my trap card to make them all into Veteran Musketeers. Suffice to say someone shat bricks.

Castles and houses are for n00bs. The Teutons and their superior town centers reigned supreme.

Well, at least until they rebalanced things. Bastards.

Seriously though, you guys have no idea how many people I beat into the ground back in the early days of that game. I was one of the first people to realize that using Teutonic Town Centers as footholds into enemy territory was a virtually unbeatable tactic when timed properly. It was really quite simple: Teutonic Town Centers had superior firepower and, superior range than the castles and TCs of other civs, and most importantly, they were available in the early game. Basically, you cranked out units until you managed to build up the TC just outside of their garrison ranges and then used that TC to deal damage and provide cover fire while simultaneously cranking out even more peasants to create even more TCs. Your opponent simply wouldn't have the tools to deal with it until the late game they would never see.

I would say that up until yesterday I still considered myself a productive and contributing member of the forum. Then I thought about it and realized I'm not.

Stalone was a pretty good casting choice for that movie. Pretty much perfect appearance, I think, and he did a good gruff voice.

(In the closet, a girl crying over things Roddy told her)

Oh Rodrick <3

Look I merely entirely accurately pointed out the truth in regards to both of her (apparent) masturbatory idols, Noel Fielding and Russel Brand: that they are two jumped-up mockney wazzocks with the collective intellect of a clubbed otter and all of the charm of a shit being shoved up one's nostril - and that furthermore, her idolatry of them and slavering over them only fed their lecherous, venereal powers and kept their syphilitically twisted egos on television when frankly I'd find a bottle of milk slowly going rancid better entertainment.

I mean, it's not like I knew she was queer for them, was it?

oh, and by the by...

OK the movie suffered from some hollywood syndrome but I recall it fondly. I am downloading it right now, but I just watched a trailer and saw Rob Schneider and now I'm reconsidering viewing the movie again.

I always had the complaint where the lady judge is taking cover because people are shooting and then Dredd strolls up and says 'effective range of weapon means we're safe' but, I thought the people were shooting down at them, which I thought would mean the effective range for a ballistic projectile (bullet) would not be the same as for a horizontal shot?

Rob Schneider was in Judge Dredd?

I know he was in Demolition Man which is pretty much the exact same movie, but I didn't realize he was in both. Weird.

Given Judge Dredd's character design is largely based on a combination of Stallone and David Carradine's characters from Death Race 2000, this is hardly surprising.

The problem was not the casting so much as the way it took everything that makes Judge Dredd good, ate it, shat it out into a hotdog bun and forced it down the viewers throat. There is really no way that a Judge Dredd movie can get away with such fantastic violations of the setting as Dredd removing his mask, having interpersonal relationships etc. unless they delivered a flawless interpretation of one of the best stories (The Cursed Earth, Judge Death, America). Really though, the main underlying problem is that the Judge Dredd movie completely ignored the satirical nature of Judge Dredd. In fact, it became exactly the sort of thing Judge Dredd is basically a parody or pastiche of.

Yeah, I can't really fault the choice of Stallone. I don't really know who else you'd pick, to be honest. Stallone may not create believable characters, but he was never afraid to commit himself to a role physically or to play characters that are inherently pretty ridiculous. So really, I'd say that properly done the Judge Dredd role would have played to his strengths, since the core of the character is an uncompromising ideologue who views himself as essential to keeping order in a weak and corrupt society. The setting itself obviously has a lot of elements of parody and satire, but Dredd himself isn't really one for subtlety or much in the way of winks and nods to the audience. Hell, if Dredd could be said to have a sense of humor, you would have to describe it as a grim appreciation for irony and poetic justice. Fitting for a Judge, I guess.


Also, it's pretty sad that Judge Dredd was such a horrible movie that I almost feel like I need to defend Demolition Man now just because of SWM's post.

Considering the film overall, I think the producers shoulda got Titan for it.

Watching Dredd now. Dialog's a little stiff. Stalone isn't so good at talking.

I actually enjoy Demolition Man. They show it on tv pretty often and i laugh. Some bits are pretty great, like how the possibility of Ahnuld becoming a political figure is introduced as ludicrous and only possible in an overly sanitised world.

Demolition Man is awesome.

There isn't anything about it that I don't like. Except perhaps the world they live in, but that's why Stallone is there to spread hope and change with bullets and saturated fat.

So movies about the future are awesome and all, but are we doing anything about the fact that new people can't register?

I'll probs send Ashton and/or Jeorph some kind of e-mails about it seeing as his PM bucket is probably full and no emails are going out to Ashton or Jeph to notify them of their PMs.
