inclusion of "miserable drop-out" was "debatable"
castle
castle.swf We wasted a few hours playing this the other day. Here are my tips
- Like Elite it's bloody slow to start and you don't get enough points to buy anything useful until about stage 7
- In fact don't buy anything until you can afford both a temple and an archery range and have money left over (not enough left means all your trained converts will die at the end of the stage)
- Don't buy a demolition lab, they're useless and waste converts
- Get a mana lake as fast as possible and get as many wizards as you can. Enough wizards means instant conversions which you can use for anything.
- Carpenters are useful but you don't need more than a few.
- If you fortify your walls up to about 10000 you don't have to worry too much about damage. Apart from enemy suicide bombers (who are black. I think this is hilarious, but I'm awful)
- Once you get about 100 archers it's very difficult to lose. But don't accumulate lots of archers until you have lots of wizards.
- By stage 20 or 25 it gets boring but it doesn't end so you can consider it won at that point.
- It takes a while though, we were playing it for a good few hours.
Spiders
It has come to my attention that some idiots have misinterpreted my last post as an admission that I am scared of spiders. This is broadly not the case. However there can be included amongst the things I am scared of the following:
- Sudden appearances of any sort of insect coming towards me in a position from which I feel I can't get away from, such as a spider running across my bed when I'm in it or jumping out of a hat I am holding. This is not so bad as bees and wasps and other flying monstrosities coming right for you, though. I don't keep a can of flykiller in the same way that a cowboy keeps his six-shooter for nothing.
- Situations I am not able to deal with, such as finding heavily pregnant spider's nests in the middle of the night.
There is a subtle but irreconcilable difference, in the same way that there is such between not regretting something wonderful happening but regretting that it ended.
25%
ntl customers finally got that promised speed increase; but I still say I'd prefer more upstream than more downstream. I think there must be fewer people on the 150K(300K) service and the 1M(1.5M) service than the 600K(750K) service as they got bigger increases.
Oh who cares. I still think people who shift more bandwidth above a certain limit should pay more though. Why should I pay a higher flat rate, so you can download more porn? And why do all the yank faggots pay so little for their internet? Fuck this country.
