But he posts in the Senate Deliberations thread! Oh, wait - yes, I see, he can't really allude to Battlestar Gallactica, can he? :laugh4:

It is not fair to me! I've never seen battlestar galactica! I can't tell if I'm being picked on or praised!

And BRADEN! YOU STOLE MY SIGNATURE! :furious3:

You are really missing out. You must buy, borrow, rent or steal DVDs of the two seasons immediately!

OK, to fill you in - Mount was comparing you to Colonel Tighe, a balding old alcoholic with zero charisma, who is bullied by his sluttish, borderline insane wife, and is seemingly incapable of making a right command decision in his life.

I was comparing you to Lt Starbuck, who is an incredibly hot female fight pilot ace who smokes cigars, smacks down men and can hotwire a bleeding cyborg fighter ship.

The truth may be somewhere imbetween[1].

[1]e.g. A hot balding chick with zero charisma who likes cigars and alcohol, is seemingly incapable of making a right command decision...:laugh4:

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

We could refer to Battlestarus Galacticus :dizzy2:

….*cough* Lucjan, I didn’t notice when you had your signature but I’m pretty sure I had it first but to be honest….it belongs to the man who said it. :idea2:

The analogy to Starbuck is quite good as who else could out fight a Cylon armada single-handed? (i.e. out fight all those Carthage stacks on his own :sweatdrop: )

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

I could settle for any mixture to be honest, so long as I don't get that nasty "incapable of a correct command decision" trait, that's just not fair.

And I was only busting your chops Braden. :laugh4: I don't care if you have the same siggy, it was just amusing.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

Yeah, I realise that but…..

…….now I can’t get the image of you as the new Starbuck out of my head!!

And just so you know what all the fuss is about, I present to you Katee Sackhoff:

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

Errm, let's not turn this into the "Babe thread II". But staying way off topic in the interest of gender equity, I confess I find this chap the most watchable thing in BSG:

https://img117.imageshack.us/img117/...seadamazs7.jpg

I read a cute story about a scene he did with Laura Roslin, the cancer-ridden President. Their relationship was strictly professional. But there was a pretty emotional scene between them - I think she may have been dying - and at the end, the actor, Edward James Olmos, spontaneously kissed her on the forehead. The actress, Mary McDonnell, was not expecting this and gave him a genuine stunned look that was caught on camera. It was a nice moment on screen and the backstory is sweet.

Off topic? Who says this is off topic?

Vala is actually my new Carthaginian slave girl, I took her straight from Cartago I did, mmmhmmm. Isn't she pretty? :laugh4:

Oi, I need :help: .

I'm halfway through series 2 on DVD and I haven't seen her yet ~;)

Even President Roslin is an attractive older woman.

A barbie doll who snaps babies' necks.~:eek:

I agree, she does nothing for me. Except when she was playing Gina, the rape victim Six. I'm not sure if you have seen that one yet, Mount? Totally different look - natural, casual - and utterly irresistable. Apparently, the actress is like that in real life (natural and casual, not baby-neck snapping).

Nice head of hair, nice pair of teeth, as the late John Peel would say.

OK, let's lower the testosterone. I should say I find the Balthazar character the other eminently watchable male character on the show. He's kind of one-part Hugh Grant, one-part Renton from Trainspotting and one-part utter git. Quite mesmerising.

BTW, Lucjan - you wanted to know who was this Colonel Tighe that Mount was likening your Consul to? Well, I've found the perfect pictoral signature for your Consul:

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

I would just like to announce that due to dying of boredom with Valerius Paullus, I am switching characters and taking over the vacant (and much more interesting) Oppius Aemilius. He is currently serving with the carthage invasion force, in Hadrumentum on the last save.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

I've already had the oppertunity of roleplaying Oppius. Results will soon be made available by the Consul.
To be clear, I did not claim him, so he's yours if you want.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

Ah, excellent. The Aemilii will soon rule the world. :evil:

You'll soon see a backstory to Oppius' personality as soon as the Consul deems so.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

As a note -

Dutch Guy currently has the latest save. 253-aut-Flavius.

There will be 2, possibly 3 more conflicts following the resolution of this battle, and then this season is finished, midterm consular report comes out along with a report of this mysterious situation between the Aemilii in Afrika, and motions/voting commences as usual.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

Okay, the battle is done, an easy win plus a man of the hour event. We now have a new general, view the battle report (posted as soon as possible) for details regarding our new family member.

Here's a link to the post battle save: Clicky

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

After writing about 3/4 of my battle report, my system decided to crash. Writing the story and uploading / viewing images must have upset my pc in some strange way. So, all my progress concerning the battle report is lost :sad2:

It seems I'm going to have to write it all again tomorrow, or the day after, as time is hard to find the next two days. Needless to say I'll try to get it finished As soon as possible.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

S'ok, no problem. I've got a question for everybody though.

I've finally gotten around to buying a laptop, and it's got all the fancy necessities for Rome and other gaming goodness.

HP Windows XP Entertainment Center Edition
AMD Turion x2 T-56 processor (1.8ghz, with 512+512 l2 cache and 1600 system bus)
2g ram
120g hard drive

But I'm confused about something regarding the video card.
It's got an Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 card in it, with 256meg speed, but on the sticker it also mentions in parenthesis with up to (128 shared video memory).
I'm unfamiliar with shared video memory, anybody have an idea?

This also means that our typically slow Tuesdays and Thursdays will no longer be that slow, as I'll be able to find internet access at school now too through the school's wifi (which on a test run works well outside the actual campus too).

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

I believe (and someone more knowledgable please correct me) that it means that 128mb of the gfx card memory is allocated to run the fancy XP EC Edition.

Also, I think you've got twin processors in that so ensure you set Rome to run on only ONE of them everytime you run the game - yes has to be reset each time. Forum records show that Rome will run at DOUBLE TIME if you don't do this..

...Benny Hill romans anyone?

You can't turn this down in-game.

Oh, and watch what drivers you pick for the card. Many newer Nvidia drivers are utterly unstable and you will not be able to run any games.

I dumped a Nvidia 6200 256mb card from this PC at home because of this - now running my very old, but trusty and working 4200MX on much later drivers.

BTW - I'll post my battle report tomorrow night, busy just now and Univercity starts tomorrow.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

I don't know how to set Rome to do that. O.o I played a few custom battles and I didn't seem to have any issues with the speed, but it'd be nice to know how to do this anyway.

I've never really had any problems with drivers though..

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV

If you've got a dual core processor, you have to ctrl+alt+del out of the game, click the processes tab, right click the RTW.exe and set the affinity to only one of the cpu's. That'll keep everything normal, otherwise after about 20 minutes or so, things get screwey.

If you start doing stuff like that be careful you do not change the priority of the process to something wierd, or you can really **** ** your machine.
