How am I a Newb?
« on: January 13, 2018, 06:28:38 PM »
That's what the sidebar says I am.  283 posts, a member for 1 year, and I practically own the AAR subforum... how does that make me a Newb?  I might be relative to some long timer, but in absolute terms, no way.  I think the categorization algorithm could use a little tweaking.

I realized I don't need 2 things that sound like a rank or title, so I'm not charming anymore.

I'd like to think of a more clever way to make the 2nd reference than using the word "tanks" again.  That said, "Into the tanks!" is my favorite phrase ever, related to SMAC.  And I don't mean the kind you drive on a battlefield.  I originally thought of being "Emperor of Paste" but that didn't quite seem right.  "Emperor of Soylent Green" introduces a completely different fiction, not right either.

Well it would cost me 500 to change to "Emperor of Goo", and I think "Emperor of the Tanks" is better anyways.  It doesn't cost me anything to change the "Into the tanks!" line so I'll wait until I have a better inspiration about it.
