Indeed, I just wish that more than JC played, and the TS server were up more than once a month.

I'll be playing again once my new box is here and set up (assuming it ever does get here....but that's another rant) and Gerbil still plays doesn't he? Look at the IV boards for the TS info. I think there was some issues that have since been resolved.

Well, fuck. Thats why.

Serves me right for never looking there. Thanks.

+5 for the flame. Shit ruining good time.

To us his science would still be unsound. Last time i checked we couldnt wield the same "Chemical Engineering" stick that the "people" in Planetside can.

From what I remember from my High school chem class (it was honours, unlike my english classes). There were two ways to seperate a bond. Either give the electrons something else to bond with OR to physically seperate the two attoms. Seperating atoms is currently a painsakeing proccess without useing a chemical process (Such as changing stats of matter or atting a more reacive element). You literally have to take the atmos and move them away from eachothers magnetic field. Doing this times 10 trillion, my SWAG of how many atoms are in a max, would be neih impossible. But im no Chemical Engineer.

EDIT: Forgot one but the deci prolly doesnt utilize this. If one was to apply a large enough electronic field to an atom the electrons in the highest level they will become excited and move up one layer. This could break a bond between the two atoms. However it theoretically would revert back into its old molecular structure after it "settled" down, in this process it also gives off light.

His assumption was arrogant? I'd like to know what assumption that was.

Ya, all those assumptions in there are all too arrogant.

All he said was to stop wondering about dumb shit, and the only reason the devs did this was because there needs to be BALANCE. And you two, Spee and Elf, start PMSing on him like you guys also have a dick up your ass.

-2 for the above flame. Poor content, lack of originality, poor perception of the intent of the post, complete inability to reference one post to another. I give you an an internet bad boy rating of 3/10, back to kindy for you, son.

Ah, Angel. So good of you to join the conversation. Always nice to have a few from the peanut gallery show up.

Reread the quote you posted, dumbass. I said he made an ignorant assumption (Spee didn't know how that game worked) in an arrogant way (the arrogant way he presented himself). Now maybe he was just having a bad day and came across that way. Maybe his cat didn't want any of his sweet lovin' last night. Either way we'll probably never really know and hopefully that question will remain one of those great unsolved mysteries.

Let me reiterate for you since I'd hate to have you misunderstand again. The assumption was not by itself arrogant, it was simply ignorant as most assumptions usually are. The way his post was written was arrogant. GG on almost comprehending my statement though.

in real life anti tank weapons do not make a huge explosion, just a small one focused on a point, and it is much easier in real life to hit someone with a machine gun anyway.

Because of this, z atoms are used with w bonds.

Interesting, but how do you explain that the nano bank that I use for my armor repair device also is interchangeable with my vehicle glue gun? Seems to me, for your plot line to work, we would need two types of nano banks. I guess some aspects are hard to put into a plot line.
