I'm fast approaching my senior year of my undergraduate at Earlham College. I will graduate with an International Studies degree. The job market is not optimal in my country, but I’m not too worried. My family has some money, and I have some marketable skills. I probably will go to graduate school, and get a Masters of Business and Administration, so that I can get a high paying job.

I wouldn’t be here if not for Mapping Hell. I’m not saying that there is something specific to causally link my involvement in some Sauerbraten clan with my current status. What I’m trying to say is that Mapping Hell, and more generally the Sauerbraten community, were a social network that I devoted a lot of energy and time to, and in consequence it became a big part of who I was.

I went to Europe last fall and I met with two people from Sauerbraten that I’d met years ago: Zeronic in Berlin, and Snowy in Amsterdam. What I realized then was that I’m not the only one who ingratiated them-self with this Sauerbraten community. I feel like I have made friends for life- people I can always relate to, in some fashion.

Am I crazy? Do you guys feel the same way?

Awesome! I still have a major bug with Sauer that, when I interact with water or whatever, my game fucks up and moves to a little corner of the screen, which makes the game virtually unplayable.

Hey guys! I heard that there was a new version of Sauer coming out, so I have returned! I thought I'd create a thread where we can all share what we have been up to in the real world.

I have begun my third year in college, and I am spending a semester in Berlin and Vienna! I am currently typing this from a flat in Kreuzberg. :hamboning:

I'm not going to argue with ya too much about you being in college and all, mainly because I'm not even past High-school.

Don't worry about that. Where I am in school doesn't necessarily mean I'm smarter than you  :)

Just say what you want.

Lazy Kat / Garm - I want to address your points.

QuoteIf it ends in war: We (as humans) need it.

Increasing trends towards support of the concept of sovereignty (and trends towards hegemonic security) support the belief that large powers no longer need to war (although proxy wars are TOTALLY okay).

Quoteand it will help economics (partially because there will be less people afterward, and partially because we can aide our allies.)

Wars are for the most part huge economy crushers. Aside from the fact that raising more and more troops to maintain a steady presence in a war is labor intensive, the capital costs of war are immense. In layman's terms, "fancy guns cost a shit-ton". Government funding is being drawn from other things the economy needs. It is true that evidence from World War II points toward a fully utilized command economy as being a possible outcome of war, but the military industrial complex doesn't work like that anymore.

QuoteI know its cruel to say what I am, but population control is necessary.

I won't argue this because it's an opinion, but I will put in my two cents. Nobody should have to die for "population control". At least, there shouldn't need to be outstanding events that do a job that nature will do on its own. I also think as necessity rises to high enough levels, we'll rise off this rock, but that's a story for another day.

QuoteIf it ends in peace: Well, we'll see if that's possible, mate.

At this point peace is the most likely outcome. Yes, sanctions have been put on Russia that are straining relationships, but there's no actual military rhetoric being thrown around anymore, most of it has died down. Besides, go beyond Ukraine and you're in NATO territory. Putin is smart, he doesn't want that.

So anyways I'm an international relations major and I'm really baked.

You're absolutely right about it being an action that is strategically justified. It reminds me of the situation of North Korea, where China has, in the past, backed North Korea almost solely because it's on their doorstep.

You make it seem as if the conflict solely exists of two sides- NATO backed rebels and the Pro-Russian Ukranian government. But do you think that there is a legitimacy to the protests? I mean, it seemed to me that at least SOME of the protesters were actually protesting for real- presumably the Ukraine's troublesome relationship with Russia. Is it safe to lump them in with neo-nazis?

I thought it would be interesting to get an opinion on the current situation in Ukraine from y'all! Everybody feel welcome to chime in.

Personally, I'm happy the situation is where it is, with Crimea in Russia's hands. While I think that the action was a major violation of Ukraine's sovereignty, I'd rather it end in peace than in war. My main worry is the justification of the actions. If Russia can get away with taking back an area with an "ethnic Russian population", could they do it again?

I really wanna hear from people who live in Europe, specifically Vampi, who's in Romania. You're right on the border of the Ukraine, are there any major concerns of violence or political upheaval there?

It's strange that you associate it with masturbation, the first thing that comes to my mind is amazement, awe, fear, freezing up, like a big event happened in front of you, you're looking at something huge or powerful that's taking place.

  • Send textures, cfgs and mapmodels. Maybe sounds and other assets too. This way it would be a lot easier to add custom content. In fact, with this implemented, a lot of the existing textures and models could be deleted from the distribution, and just downloaded with the map. I'm sure a lot of the existing textures are unused.


OH MY GOD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

News & Discussions / Quadropolis moved to new domain
April 05, 2013, 07:12:12 PM
Copy and pasted from http://4-cube.com

QuoteQuadropolis, while beloved by some has been suffering from GoDaddy's lack of support and the site was deemed to be unsalvagable. Out of the dust of quad 4-cube.com was born. We managed to rescue some of the archive of quadropolis and a lot but not all of the mod files and assorted packages that were stored on the site.

Then like a Phoenix rising from the ashes Quadropolis was reborn after the mighty Nieb appeared like a phantom and blessed the wicked ones with his benevolence.
