Re: Epic Fail Stock Market

If I had gotten puts I'd be rich as fuck by now. How rich? Depends on which puts. All options have a different strike price and expiration date. But at least I can say this for my investment in call options: I can only lose so much and I've already lost it. If I was holding stocks I'd still be bleed...

Re: Epic Fail Stock Market

The QQQQ calls had about 15% of purchased value this morning. Now it might be as high as 40%, but without a bailout I'm still down a grand.

Re: Epic Fail Stock Market

I bought up some options on the QQQQ. I'm looking for some bigs gains to make up for lost time. I actually was doing quite well and then McCain scuttled the Thursday's bailout deal. WTF was up with that man? That old fuck should find something else to bullshit about, not dick with the markets just b...

Re: It's nice to be noticed

To clarify, the reason we got kicked out essentially boiled down to some people have a mildly legitimate grievance, talking lots of trash, and things escalating faster than the level heads could mediate. The alienation seems to be limited to a handful of people. It's all a bunch of BS really and lot...

Introducing Skankius Caesar . Finished up the tutorial a few days back. Been fairly optimal in upgrading my resources by determining my limiting factors and upgrading their production. Nice thing about travian is that upgrading resource x takes less of x than it takes of y and z. Send out some msgs ...

Re: Urban Dead

Monroeville is going back under quarantine on the fifteenth of August. We need to start coordinating if we're going to survive. Recently another upstanding member of the Skanksworthy lineage was wiped out in a darkened bank in a matter of minutes. Please disclose locations. Let's choose a headquarte...

Introducing GK Skanksworthy. I'm headed to Chicago this weekend so his life expectancy is low, but we'll see.

Re: Time waster

we can expect similarly ranked cities to receive similar volumes of spam. Spam will make our city grow, but it's unlikely that spam will be an asset for increasing our rank.

Re: Urban Dead

One thing to be aware of: Urban Dead likes to create new characters in non-ruined buildings of which there are currently very few. The last building I repaired immediately attracted 2 noobs. Anyway, I'm in a barricaded factory in West Monroeville just south of Patchen Alley. We have power and 4 noob...

Re: Urban Dead

Hi guys. The good news is that I have construction and tools. WARNING: Do not click repair building if you do not have the APs. It will repair anyway and then leave you in a conspicuously non-ruined building with negative APs. My guy may very well be hosed. But if he's not then I think we should pic...

Re: Urban Dead

Guys, I went traveling by plane this morning. Unfortunately my character was caught off guard and sniped about 1.5 hours prior to internet access. Chester Skanksworthy died as he had lived: with guts up to his nuts with plenty of APs to spare. A moment of silence. And now may I introduce the top sec...

Re: Urban Dead

I think Chuck is right about the FAKs. I find that even in the "Very Dangerous" sections of the map zombies aren't randomly sneaking up on me, but I am down to 14 hit points down to the last Hospital fiasco. But to get FAKs we're going to need to fix up a building and that's going to take lots of AP...

Re: Urban Dead

Yes, I endorse jonathan's Maoist military strategy. We must become supple and agile. The human advantage is speed. We harness that advantage by always being on the move, forcing our opponents to engage in exponentially costly searches. It also divides them into attackable units. We would neutralize ...

Re: Urban Dead

killed one zombie, dumped the body outside, and upgraded my hand-to-hand. At this point I'm pretty dangerous. I'll save some APs for the morning when I might be able to kill that zombie.
