Yertle's Trophy Cabinet


Profile

A man there was, though some did count him mad,

The more he cast away, the more he had.

He that bestows his goods upon the poor,

Shall have as much again, and ten times more.

First off, they are right next to each other so if people are confused you know what I have to say to them and second, I can't do much with images until I get to use my regular computer again and I am still homeless and am now using this little tiny laptop that can barely show images so if I get all giving and feely when I get to move back to my home, I'll think about adding the arrow but I wouldn't suggest holding your breath on that. P.S. I feel like we are never in games together anymore and it makes me sad.

In Seven Kingdoms the West Sylvan Capital can fortify to all territories in that kingdom, but the East Capital cannot - and from what I understand it is supposed to.

Hey man! how about giving GenKiwi the moniker of Sheriff or something in the forums, you know, that subtitle thing. I think his ability to find cheats should be recognized, if others agree. It is a pretty big asset to wargear! He seems to find them pretty quick. Hope you are doing well! Take care!

I haven't read either of them. I'm afraid to because I think the idea is so cool I don't want to lose that hope and faith in human kind. I do that sometimes. The idea of something being great is sometimes more important than if the something is actually great. Those are Risky's Words of Cynicism for the day.

That's a lion? Seriously, I thought it was a Dragon. By the way, were you a fan of Risky Kong? I really loved playing that map and I am remaking it but I don't think many other people did so I'm wondering if I should switch some stuff up.

We did great in the 3 player team map. I thought we were done for early but you did a great job of protecting me, Step got all aggressive to weaken up everyone and then we worked great together to finish the job. Of course, I still can't understand how Gimli had all of South America basically the whole game but never did much with the bonuses....what did he do with them? Who cares? We won, we rule!

There should be a "new here?" link that goes straight to this page. Folks, there's no one out there more helpful than Yertle, either in-game or otherwise. He's a mastermind, a gentleman, and a mentor, in the most classical sense. This is a man to know.

I'm not going to defend Mr. Sawyer's writing style. I have read almost everything he has written and I find him to be full of himself with no ability to write an ending. Every book seems to have the same ending.....The End (wrap bow, stop writing) and they all leave me wanting more. He actually wrote the book "Flash Forward" that the ABC TV show is based off of but they are nothing alike. As far as Calculating God, I really enjoyed the theory behind it and the arguments that the Aliens used to convince that stubborn ol Anthropologists. I think if the book had a decent ending it would have been a GREAT book but everything else goes away because he just decides to stop writing and wraps it all up in one chapter and has every character seemingly have a complete personality turn. I think it was a really great attempt and did leave me thinking so that's pretty good. I am enamored with the book because I think it went about something very difficult to have a rational discussion about in a very backhanded way that worked, but not quite well enough. Still one of my favs just for the attempt and some of the Anthro stuff that is mentioned.

Thanks for making the fixes to Medieval Europe. I was actually planning to ask you to help me do that next time we were in a game together. The other change I would like to have done is to change the color black to white in Antastic to fix the problem asm mentioned on my wall. If that's easy to do, feel free to do it.

LOL, I just now noticed the comment you left regarding Gold Rush back in January. I would say, yes, I do plan on bringing it over with a massive overhaul to the graphics. I'm in my final semester of school right now, and traveling a ton for work, so time is tight. I graduate in May and travel fro work should slow way down in June, so I would look for it to come out in July or August :)

Yup, I caught that white background on PipeDream a couple of days ago too. It's strange because I don't remember ever setting it have a colored background. I was able to change it w/o resubmitting a newer version, so all is well now. Thanks for the heads up.

I have to agree with Ender and disagree with asm. Ender's Game is great but I actually liked Ender's Shadow more and think that the two of them must be read together to really get the full feel for the entire story. I relate more to Bean than to Ender. asm is correct about the Shadow series although it you grow to like the characters they are OK reads but not great. He is also pretty right on with the Speaker of the Dead series, however, Xenocide is really an incredible book from my point of view. It is like an Anthropology text and a great read in that respect. I got so Jonesed while reading it I almost went back to school to get my Socio-Cultural degree and do nothing with it either.

They're alright. Speaking as somebody who read every single thing Card wrote up until about the turn of the century (literally everything, like down to the unpublished one-act LDS plays he wrote in college), it just doesn't get any better than Game. Its sequel Speaker for the Dead is pretty boring and not immediately relevant to the story, Xenocide is interesting but about 2 times as long as it needs to be, Children of the Mind was all over the map, and the later 'Shadow' sequels are in my opinion nothing more than a blatant cash grab. Ender's Shadow is just an Ender's Game rewrite. If you do intend to read Shadow, though, I would say read all the books in the order they were written. Don't skip from Game to Shadow.
