Happy B-day!

Ok, I'll participate too. Family: And one of my hobbies besides brewing beer:

Holy crap, that took forever. Welcome you idot!

So hard to choose...it is like trying to choose between getting kicked in the crotch or poked in the eye. I guess I'd like to start by choosing @@Onyx and @@blk_plague

Welcome to the forum, Mike!

Welcome, idiot!

Interesting....there is a beer down here made from sorghum that I used to like called Red Bridge. Don't have a clue how they made it though. And @@ChknFngr, I'm really interested to hear how your beer comes out. I'm guessing IPAs are your favorite style?

Welcome, about time you got your crap together and joined us!!!...

Ha, yeah, those PET bottles are very resilient (just thew away the last of mine). Guessing you basically ended up making Ed Wort's Apelwine....not a huge fan of that one - takes a good 6 months to mellow and I'm very impatient. I'm a pretty big fan of Dave's Caramel Cider during the winter. Doesn't need to mellow since it is back-sweetened. The only frustrating thing about the process is stove-top pasteurization...but that isn't too bad unless you get the water too hot and end up with bottle bombs - I just finished making Graff....it has an interesting and tart taste. Worth a shot if you have yet to dip your toes into grain brewing.

Nice, what are you fermenting? Also, just make sure you get that soap out really well - tastes disgusting if you don't get all the soap residue. I'm a huge fan of using Oxi-Clean instead of soap (oxi-clean will also delaminate the labels - for wine & beer lately, i've been putting the bottles in the oven at 300 for around 5min, the labels come right off).

^ This I will say that I've moved on to mostly kegging, but I will bottle the occasional cider since I don't drink it as fast as the beer. If you clean them out really well after you drink them, then store them well (upside down to drain), they may not actually need the full sanitation route every time. You can just rinse out the dust, check the bottom for particulates (if you see mold/mildew it could require bleach), and then spray with starsan or your favorite no rinse. I spent a long time drinking Sam Adams and a couple of local breweries (like Sweet Water) because those bottles are great, easy to cap, and nice thick glass. I agree that the embossing sucks for Sam Adams. I used to use flip-tops, but those were really hard for me to get fully clean, store, and make sure the seal stayed good use after use. I just went back to capping then on to kegging. Oh, and you could split the difference. Buy some smaller kegging equipment like a party pig or a star tap. That would allow you to have a portable keg and still bottle some... One of my best beers was when I took a whitbeer to a halloween party inside a party pig along with some random bottles I had laying around. Lots to drink and some sampling to be done then.

Woohoo, welcome, Idiot!

How about we just get rid of the car and replace it with a perk that just lets you go invisible (no shooting) for 15seconds... That would give me everything I need with the car...

I got excited when I saw the thread title and thought we were going to talk about great empanadas...then I see it is just plague bitching again. Plague, the best solution to your car problem is one of two things: - Stop dying so easily - Use jammer so you don't need emp nades. This has the added benefit of me being able to harass you when you are on the other team. Thoughts?

Now this is something I could get behind. Admins, vote on banning the plagued one?

Yep, I understand and agree. I just wanted to point out that some folks may have heard me/someone else suggest that the doors not be blocked, then others started thinking it was a "rule".

I don't know who would be telling them that since we have so few rules. I do, however, tell them not to block the doors unless they want them blocked too. It is poor sportsmanship to block the doors and eliminates any fun of the maps. This is true anytime terrain is abused to create an advantage for one team. This is why, when voting existed, people always voted down those one-sided maps.

Ah, very good to know. After the second time of getting one and not being able to "activate" it someone had mentioned it was bugged. Good to know it isn't.

Although cars are my favorite streak it was kinda nice to branch out. I changed all my normal streaks around (including my high level ones). I did discover that in the attack package there is a death machine that doesn't work? I wasted two attack packages on one map due to not knowing about the death machine. I am guessing there is a known bug in the attack package?

Ok, i'm convinced it isn't mod related. Playing today during lunch with a full server was as bad or worse than the other mod. (lag/CIs). What made it worse was the ACR being so long range/accurate that lagginess means you are at risk from across the entire map...

Well played, Llama - and, btw, this is what I imagine see when you play:

I am thinking the subtlety seems to be lost on @@iboomboom. I did bash Gooney...and all admins...and jumper...and Cobra. To be less subtle, I said that I hated @Go0ney as much as the admins and jumper...that is pretty bad. I think you meant to create an "i love gooney" thread...

Guess I don't understand the post. Everyone hates @@GoOney. You may as well say that @P!nk is our only good admin or @@jumper needs to break his mic again.....we all agree! Let's start a thread that is more controversial - like: @@Roxy! learned to play by watching @@CobraBites when he was still good.

In my mind you could say the same thing about all maps with random spawns. They almost always make a map take the full time and it is very frustrating when someone spawns on you right after you've spawned.

Happy B-day!
