yom kipur is the most boring holiday on Earth. No TV, nothing is open, the streets are closed by decree


Holy cow! No TV? What did they do, shut the TV station down? Yom Kipur sounds like a day of prison...what's it supposed to celebrate?

Yes, you're right Bluesteel, the "what not" is not supposed to be there. Just criminals.

Theoden - well, the TV stations (the local ones, at least) do shut down by themselves. The rest of the TV channels (satellites and cabel) still transmit, but that is mostly a few news network and the likes. Nothing intersting.

Yom kipur is not a day of celebration - it's the day of attuntment and forgiving. Most of the jews (at least, those that believe religious mumbo-jumbo, and I hope I didn't hit a nerve there) fast all day, don't go anywhere and don't active any electronics. It's a day you are supposed to sit down, fast and think about the past year.

So, no TV, no resturants, no cinema's, closed streets and the net is so slow due to the crowd (Israel is the most internet-connected nation in the world, and when most of us surf is SOOOOO slow here). So, boring. Very, very boring. Unlike Cotal, however, I can't play GalCiv 24/7, so I'm stuck. Nothing good came out lately - even Lionheart sucks.

I won't bare the responsibility of being stood on if I am belittled . . . hehe. A little joke there . . . tension breaker.

I'm of European decent (Polish but a first generation Aussie) . . . Australia took in a lot of immigrants after WW2 including my parents. Even though we have our own way of life I still consider OZ a collony of many cultures as diverse if not more so than your venerable Europe.

European Imperialism was the seed for most of the worlds modern culture, theres no denying that . . . was that a good thing? Although I would suppose so I know North American Indians and Australian Aboriginals would most probably disagree, along with the Polynesians, Celts and all the other seemingly vanquished cultures left in the wake of 'progress'. . .

This 'progress' as it is called is a poisoned pill! I tell you it will spell the end of us all!

But to bring it back to your level of discussion . . . ehrm . . . my dads bigger than your dad, so I'm better than you . . . hehe . . . how ridiculous even in jest.

Cotal, you're better then us, period. For crying out loud, I'm getting creamed in Maso and you managed to pull two such games day. It's very, very belittling. I guess I'm just a bad player.

In the mean time, I'll worship the ground you're walking on. Unless it's in Australia, and then I won't.

Cotal, what are you doing on the forums? You do realize you're less than 3,000 points out of first, right? You should be able to do that today...

                          
#507  by Citizen Harel Eilam - 10/6/2003 12:03:15 PM

Psss, Theoden, it's your benevolent leader she is going to pass. Don't encourage her.

I can't bring myself to do it (eventhough I have tommorow off work) . . . I'm not worthy of the Mantle of success, I'm just a cranker, a mimic, a copy cat, a would be hero . . . a fake, a flusie a hush puppy paddle pop!

Rays an Artist in the truest sense . . . and this Forums Patriarch . . . passing him would be like . . . well like beating my Grand-Dad in an arm wressel . . . heya wait a second! Grand-dad wrote off my husbands new car! Bygingo that Barstard . . .

Mmmm . . . That puts a whole new perspective on things j/k

I think even Ray would encourage Cotal to challenge him! It's no fun when you don't have a contender...

...the first none-Euro to register & post at our forums...


I hope to visit often! You've got a good forum there, Euros!

Thx Theoden

Are we going to overtake the ANZACs? Now that Cotal claims to be slacking off, perhaps we can take em'! It's only 50000+ points right?

                        
#515  by Veteran vincible - 10/7/2003 12:14:35 PM

Cotal, if you're feeling guilty about passing Ray, you could always rejoin the Fellowship

                        
#516  by Citizen _G-Force_ - 10/7/2003 1:02:26 PM

What's this? The Fellowship has to contact the ANZAC Republic through the European Alliance thread?

How bout we ask 100 points for each communique?

Tariffs! How very European.

Welcome to the Alliance, already gave you access to the bunker so come on over

I AM NOT FRENCH


Specially if he comes from the Flemish part in Belgium this would be a real insult.

                    
#522  by Citizen _G-Force_ - 10/8/2003 1:08:21 PM

So guess which part I'm from ...

I didn't know you were so up to speed in Belgian politics Freya, you sure you don't want to rejoin the Alliance?

G-Force

                    
#523  by Veteran Freya - 10/8/2003 1:29:26 PM

G-Force, I live in Amsterdam and I love Belgium. They know how to enjoy life: fantastic food, fabulous beers, very nice people. Guess what I'm saying is I live in Holland but I'm not Dutch

Might be, G-Force, that I return. Let rest what happened in the past. I have had little time last months to play the game and when I started again I had some problems with computer shutdowns. It seems these problems have been resolved, so I can start once more to better my score.

                    
#524  by Citizen Lord Orpon - 10/8/2003 1:32:02 PM

Not to be insulting or anything, but why'd you call yourself Freya? She is the female god of fertility and sexuality, at least where I'm from.
