The emails were actually from the 50+ newsletters but they were sent there from Arc Angel - he has admitted to this above. Although no harm was done (as I had to confirm my subscription) it might have been a case of me unsubscribing to each and every individual newsletter so...

I guess he's guilty of at least 'Attempted Spamming' which personally I think is quite an embarrasing thing to be stuck with.

If it was ArcAngel - why would he have done it? Annoyed him recently?

I rest my case.

On a side note from UFO's... heh... R2D2s Jilted Lover, your game 'Last Stand' looks awesome. What did you use to draw the Schematics of the base? And more importantly what level designer did you use to make that level? And I think the game should be online compatable too, as long as one game doesn't have more than 8 people max in it, it would just be to easy after that... unless the more players you have the harder the difficutly. and LOL is that the demo goblins I see in that picture way back there? HAH!

Anyway back onto UFO's! Anyone live near an Airport?

Yeah i see UFO's all the time because i see planes but i dunno what TYPE of plane they are so thus UFO ooooOOOOOooooooooOOOoooo

But anyhow ArcAngel that was pretty childish of you to sign someone up for 50+ newsarticles. If you decide to do it to me for saying it was childish then its your computer that will pay....So i hope its yours.

ahaahhahaa j/k kiddo

When we talk to god, we're praying. When god talks to us, we're schizophrenic.

Hahaha

If your so grown up that you can threaten to hack people's computers (Which I highly doubt you can do) then tell me Underlord, what would an adult do? You are one are you not? But wait... you did 'childishly' tell me, indirectly, that if I were to do that to you, you would hack my computer! So that means maybe your not.

But maybe you are, and maybe I'm just pulling your leg 'kiddo'

Exactly! You caught on fast! What exactly is a UFO though...

Is it:

Quote: "(United Functions and Objects) A hybrid
functional and object-oriented language designed by John
Seargant at Manchester University for general-purpose
parallel computation.

To a first approximation, UFO is a strict, higher-order
functional language with an object-oriented type system, and
strong support for numeric computation in the form of
SISAL-style arrays and loops. Parallelism is implicit, and
applies at various different levels of granularity, thereby
facilitating implementations on a wide range of parallel
architectures.

It is planned to run it on a 64 processor KSR machine."


OR

Quote: "n : an (apparently) flying object whose nature is unknown"


OR

An Alien Space Craft...

I think B, because it is the literal meaning... unless your paranoid

No one should get worked up, I think underlord was being sarcastic more than serious with the UFO comment, a UFO hit my tech teacher of year 7 and he went nuts, say how throwing a pencil at a teacher is assult and how its police business and kept the whole class in for detention.

Quote: " Ultra Fighting Oranges, the brand new Animé from 4Kids!"

As long as its nothing like power rangers or transformers or anything or if its transformer oranges, then that might be funny like this video below

UFO = Universal Facist Organisation, be careful its Rupert Murdock and his ring of newspapers!!!!!!!! Don't be drawn in by the nudity on The Sun (hmmm Alien tractor beams lol, haha!) because its a facist paper!!!!!

For the schematics I used a pencil and paper and polished it with Photoshop. More importantly I didnt use a level designer it's all 3Ds MAX. Multiplayer will be paramount to the game for maximum enjoyment and also team efficiency. And yes the goblins are very funny until you run out of ammo.

I as well don't see the big deal with Area 51. For one thing, why would the aliens continuously do their bizarre things just there? It's like those Hollywood movies where the aliens always head straight for New York.

If you live out in the boonies (like myself), Google Earth doesn't have a close zoom of the area. If however you view a big city like Vancouver, you can see each building and even individual cars.

As Jeku said, it really depends on the area you live in and what kind of detailed satellite photos they have of that area. Although, mate of mine has a holiday house on the east coast of Australia and we've been able to pinpoint it and see the house (as well as a car) in close to full detail.

Where did the myth of a crached alien spaceship, evolve from? Was it purely from sightseers?

What do you expect when the UFO's use an electromagnetic field to float?
