NorCal_Jared Introduces Himself!
major-mark63 and 3 others reacted to NorCal_Jared for a topic
Hey all, Just wanted to introduce myself and extend a big thanks to the XI admins and community. I'm 40 years old and live in Northern California, who knew! If I need to flee the state some day do I change my gamer name? Time will tell... I've been playing Battlefield (started w/1942) and Call of Duty (Modern Warfare) for years and in recent times have spent most my gaming hours playing CoD World at War capture the flag and over the last year or so on XI's World at War freeze tag server. In a day when people are so "well-connected," that many feel even more isolated, the freeze tag server is bucking the trend. With familiar voices on each evening the servers culture is welcoming, friendly and fun. Years ago I hopped on and couldn't figure out how to play and moved on. I wish I had given it a lil more time to figure it out then. The maps changing weekly adds spice to life and keeps me on my toes. Thanks again and hope to see you in the trenches!

Two Irish hunters got a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bagged six. As they started loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose. The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we shot six, and the pilot let us put them all on board; he had the very same plane as yours." Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six moose were loaded. However, even with full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down. A few moments after, climbing out of the wreckage, Paddy asked Mick, "Any idea where we are?" Mick replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."3 points

It is a rather big one . Quite impressive I would say. I even think it has a mind of its own when it pops out of my red speedo to get some fresh air and bop around.2 points

Snakes in a car
TheLastColdBeer reacted to Smeggie for a topic
Today was one for the books. Son stayed with the wife and I overnight for a visit. He is a mechanic. Asked him to take my wife's car for a drive with me to check out a noise. We get in the car and drive about 1/2 mile. We stop short of a 4-way stop as there is a black rat snake in the street. I like snakes and didn't want to kill the stupid thing. Fucker crawls up underneath the car. We can't see it. We both jump out to see where the hell it is. We look under the damn truck just to see it crawl up inside the engine / transmission compartment. FUCK....what do we do now. I know, my son says....lets find some speed bumps. Good idea I said. None to be found. Popped the truck up on the curb...crawl under the truck. Can't find that damn snake anywhere. We said fuck it...let's ride. Drive the mile back to the house and that bastard comes out from under the hood onto the windshield right in front of me. Funny as hell. Long story short I ended up getting ahold of it's tail and had a tug-o-war to get that thing out of the truck. That thing pissed and pooped all over my arm trying not to lose the battle. I threw it across the driveway and it's PISSED! It strikes at me and my son repeatedly until we get a coat hanger and get it into the flowerbed. My wife can now sleep easy tonight knowing she will not get eaten by a harmless black rat snake...LOL1 point -

I sir disagree. If you have a set or mind you one or more testi. You are a male of the species. What type of male you are is irrelevant. You maybe anyone of the alphanumeric people. But owning one makes you a male. Thank you very much.1 point

Best to read the source document, in this case from the DHS, and not website 'explainers' attempting to steer you towards their insistence of what the 'truth' is. And in this case, your link is 'explainers' linking to other 'explainers'. They tend to cherry pick and spin the pickings into pushing their agenda. Gotta watch out for spinners spinning the spinners. https://www.dhs.gov/tvtpgrants Middlebury's Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC) Type 1: Raising Societal Awareness, Type 2: Media Literacy and Online Critical Thinking Initiatives, Type 3: Civic Engagement $699,763.00 Over the past decade, video games have increasingly become focal points of social activity and identity creation for adolescents and young adults. Relationships made and fostered within game ecosystems routinely cross over into the real world and are impactful parts of local communities. Correspondingly, extremists have used video games and targeted video game communities for activities ranging from propaganda creation to terrorist mobilization and training. Game developers in general–from small, independent studios to billion-dollar multinational corporations–have lagged in awareness of how extremists may attempt to exploit their games, and how their communities can be targeted for radicalization. This joint project from the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism, Take This, and Logically seeks to develop a shared framework for understanding extremism in games. This includes the development of a set of best practices and centralized resources for monitoring and evaluation of extremist activities as well as a series of training workshops for the monitoring, detection, and prevention of extremist exploitation in gaming spaces for community managers, multiplayer designers, lore developers, mechanics designers, and trust and safety professionals. That should be a no brainer especially for the cesspool and toxic hate filled console sphere that we all know very well and avoid. And that the developers do little about. Facebook is a poster child and makes the news for various shit. Activision and gaming social media? They are just games and not worthy of our attention. Then again, social media in general wasnt looked at much. Until we tracked down the first suicide bomber or killer that was recruited via social media. Isis was pretty good at that remember and the world knew nothing. In this case the explainers decided to throw in a whole section about first amendment rights. They also decided to throw in Biden and 'white supremacy', since both are the current buzzwords de jure, when neither were mentioned in the source. Again... spin to push their actual agenda onto you. Pick a couple convenient parts to lure you in then pivot to their agenda and what they really want you to read.1 point

Invite/Greetings.
sven reacted to 10001110101 for a topic
Hey guys, I drop in to your cod2 servers later in the evenings for a bit now and then but thought I'd extend an invite to play CTF with us at OHMY sometime. (74.91.121.227:28960). Players of all skill levels welcome. Rocketman and focusedfrog who frequent the DM server play some with us but I hope more of you will drop by sometime. Team Speak is there as well if anyone wants to join that. We're typically on from lunch time until 8/9PM cst. One of our members has made roughly 50 maps in the last 3-4 years and many of them are really good. So if you're ever looking for new maps it's a good place to find those as well. Anyway, thanks for keeping a server up and running in cod2. Hope to see you at our place sometime. 10001110101- a.k.a. Binary1 point -
