    Yeah, I never cared about those naming distinctions, I didn't see the difference.  I just always say 'Equilism members'.  I recall a player in Equilism, and a recent TNP Delegate, had nicknamed Ivan Moldavi as "Moldy".  (Side note:  Equilism's name was an accidental misspelling by Founder Equility.)

     

    It may have been Gracius, I don't recall myself.  It was Pixiedance that delivered it to the TNP Embassy at ADN though if I recall correctly.  And it gave the appropriate two weeks notice, so it was certainly proper.  I was soon after invited along with a couple others, I don't remember who, to talk with Pixiedance about it on IRC.  I doubt I'd have logs of that anymore though. It was a strange meeting, never had one quite like it in NS.  It was more like Roleplay.

     

    That is because she was relaying everything to Gracius Maximus, who was prompting her responses and then they were put into her odd communication style.  Nothing that was done in TNP in the final days of the ADN's influence was handled directly by the Delegate because she couldn't handle the pressure.

     

    Reminds me a bit of when the Meritocracy selected a certain Senator to be a part of their delegation to the ADN negotiations.

     

    I miss the old days.

    TWP, TNP, TRR, Nasicournia, Equililsm.....this was generally the core of ADN, not to disparage or ignore the contributions of many others.  TNP was a strong leg of ADN that was weakend by Delegacy instability and finally by Delegate's choice to withdraw from the organization.  Some in the government protested, and some players quit the game.  The Delegate's nation was passed around a bit, and eventually a new constitutional convention was held, and the sides within the region tried to merge back into a single community.  TWP also eventually withdrew from ADN.  It was, though, an ADN that was growing inactive in lost relevance.  And TWP was struggling, frankly with boredom. There was alot of that feeling in the r/d game after Influence entered the game. For a time, it was TWP Minister of State Security Biyah and myself that were running ADN Intel.  For awhile it was Blackbird and I.  And before that, it was Equility and I. 

     

     

    I remember that.  I believe their new Minister of Justice, Gracius Maximus, drafted the statement.  Was shortly before he took over the region I believe.

     

    I remember most of the rest as well, as someone formerly associated with the upper echelons of the ADN.  I also remember when I first joined the Equilism forum and got into arguments with the nations there because I insisted on calling them Equilismites instead of Equilismers.

    Prices are unreasonably high for Apple products in the US as well, because they're simply unreasonable. You can get a windows (you can also run linux if you prefer) laptop that does everything a Macbook Pro does, but for less than half the price. An HP Pavillion has twice the RAM, more storage, a comparable processor, hell they both even have the same crummy Intel HD 4000 GPU, and will save you a few hundred bucks.

     

    From what I can find the Pavilion only has one model with 16GB of RAM (which is equivalent to the MBP 15") - most are 4 or 8.

    I've used a MacBook Pro for years but am now looking to buy a new laptop. The prices here in the UK for Apple seem unreasonably high compared to the US and I don't want to wait until my next trip back there. Who makes a good comparable model?

    You certainly did. I choose to ignore him cuz I really have no patience.

    If he, TSS, and Ridersyl didn't always feel the need to run to the mods then he likely wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble. I'll never understand the need to run and tattle. Oh well, backfired on them this time.

    What movie are/were you most excited for in 2016?

    At present I do not think there is any plan for a standalone Hulk movie but he is supposedly going to have a larger role in Ragnorak. 

     

    If you haven't already seen the Fantastic Four reboot then I wouldn't bother.  It was horrible.  What they did with Dr. Doom was a disgrace - even worse than the 2005 version - and that takes effort.

     

    I thought the Spiderman reboot was okay in the first movie, the second was not good to me.  Looking forward to the Morales version though.

     

    I liked Man of Steel except for the end, and I think the backlash has unfortunately tainted the Dawn of Justice plot with the whole Zod is Doomsday scenario.
