Do you guys enjoy when people think you're responsible for WoW, Square Enix, or any of the other games you guys host communities for?

I personally find it amusing when people blame ZAM admins for game faults, but I suppose it could get old depending on how often that happens.

It is kind of funny. Its actually kind of scary how often that actually happens though.

You may find yourself worrying that too many posts by yourself feels like "hijacking" a forum, where before admin it never once concerned you.


Does not apply to the WoW General forum. Everyone hijacks everything there.

Icky. Admin powers seem to come with more responsibility than fun. I guess I'll go back to radiating spiders. Or not.

Its gaining alot of initial intrest. If they can fix any bugs and ensure they have endgame content, it might do well. People want a real starwars MMO. galaxies could have been much bigger than it ever was if they had made it more star warsy from the beginning, though given its history and how it didn't technically start out life as a star wars game, that really isn't suprising.

Also, the NGE sort of crushed any hopes of the game going anywhere.

1) Yes

2) The live-action Batman TV series theme.

3) Yes, but only if you believe in yourself and use a tiny pinch of magic.

4) It's not as good as mine.

5) Now that's a scary thought. No I haven't.

If you're in the desert dying of thirst you're not gonna be peeing. You'd be better off trying to collect your sweat.

I've heard some not such good stuff about it. Mostly, that it's boring.

Still, I'm going to play with a bunch of my Warhammer friends as Warhammer is pretty much dead.

Can I friend you on Facebook, seeing as how I'm already friends with a number of FFXI players (Growlingbunny, Kappachan, etc.)?

Hopefully it would filter out the salt. :3

Drinking saltwater results in a net loss of water. Given the contents of sweat, I'd not suggest you drink your unfiltered sweat if your find yourself dehydrated.

Then again, I'd also not suggest drinking your urine. If you're dehydrating then your kidneys will be adding additional salt to your pee (hence the net loss of water mentioned above). Since water evaporates and salt doesn't, continuing to recycle your bodily fluids would also result in a net loss of water.

Something like that... I just know you can die of thirst while floating in the middle of the ocean. :P
