Woo to you my friend! Have something that's not entirely right as my way of patting you on the back! http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQAjAwMXwm!I*a6rJd8VGEfRF6Bd0tIjPxHD*7OVXFu6*jKAT*uAXuRM1dSTenOakd*ltVBfnVI3kKFRMxx7rYch*n1lEdJB62RdrJQsWP5CJ2eOfW9HEA/Notquiteright.gif

*Jahled bows to such deep and profound wisdom* I'd take it a step further and suggest we never should have left the ocean in the first place. All this being sentient and intelligent lark has quite obviously gone to our heads. In the mean time I reckon we should all stop what we are doing, put down the various unimortant pieces of paper in our hands, AND CLIMB A TREE! Yey! Sod all this excuse for civilization; we need to get back to our roots and jump around tree branches, live amongst the leaves, throw twigs at each other, mutter and gibber in what little latin we know! Lice, grubs, and wild berries are on the menu.

Put simply the EU is yet another method for first world business to rip off the third world with unfair trading practices, just like what the United States is up to, as the anti-US mob keep boring us with, yet ignoring their own community's source of it's wealth. Yawn. I like hitting people who attack Starbucks. Their ignorance is pathetic.

It came out with a poster??? I never recieved any. I have the UK, Supremacy version of it. There was only the manuand and the cd in the box :/ I too feel cheated. Wierdly enough (the tale tale signs of a Rebellion fanatic could have been read into this) I bought my copy of the game about a year before I got round to getting my PC in 1999! Nerdy Star Wars behaviour or what! I think I would over excite myself drooling over the manual without any possibility of actually playing the game. Which if you actually think about it may offer some explaination why there is such continued interest in the game, and perhaps something LucasArts havent sussed out to exploit; it's concept. I do of course except my behaviour was perhaps extremely nerdy and sad. Cuss me as you like.

Emm... Well hats off to you dude for stating why this is now essentially a cult game for good reasons! I have said it before, but what other SW title allows the player to emass fleets, rename ships, and quite frankly soldier virtually into a new tale with every game than rebellion? Aside FPS, not much else has every come close to loosing oneself in the SW universe. This site has enabled the original thrill to blast the game into ten years of completely unexspected new life! Cards, models, gameplay, etc.

Agreed. No one even dare go there with such file sizes! It's the quickest way to turn away newbies, and I for one as someone who has been around for a while quickly wouldn't! If you've got something that is absolutely blinding and simply must must be shared with the rest of us, link it the url method; not the img way! Members signitures are already causing me a headache, so url it! For gif file size problems double check a few things beyond what Trej said; you can apply lossy about to 20% without loosing to much, reduce image size, reduce number of frames (obviously), and then consider your gif's coulour settings. Realistically, any gif above 150 k is worthless; given it's not immediately fun to appreciate, should have been done in Flash or what not not justify the file-size, and simply isn't fair on non-broad band users. Err... no hang on! Grrr!

Calm down GAT,always look on the Dark Side of Life: http://www.interplace.com/gif/darkside.jpg M78:That last gif was class!

*shudders* I hate Macs. My neighbour's goldfish died yesterday. I share your pain.

Err.. easy enough oversite to make Paul dude! I did mutter something about a medal for 'Cyber-logistics;' so here you have something quick and crap I did about ten minutes before Ipassed out last night. As a fellow owner of fluffy cats you'll understand the need to click here for a close up of such extreme fluffiness; k9 or not; IT'S ALL IN THOSE HUGE FLUFFY EARS! *sniffle*tear mode>* *But gosh, Jennifer Love Hewit is a bit of a babe hay fellas! Right; more importantly, I have access to 800,000 extremely high resolution images of people famous for singing badly, being socialites, and/or having big breasts. If you need source images for card projects ask me now. My contract expires on the 29th November at this company and curiously enough it will be me declining to continue. There is only so much of gutter journalism my head can deal with in any working day, and spending an entire morning in photoshop touching up cheap flirtation-style jpgs is begining to drill into my forehead! The only saving grace is the occassional quality image of a serious actor or actress such as Charles Dance that will find it's way onto my desktop. What a capture for Reloaded! Given my Hotmail storage has suddenly jumped upto 2 gb, i'll be uploading as much such stuff as I can before I move on...

lol For a delay in posting to a message this has to go down as some kind of cyber record.... i'll work on a medal of sorts for you Grand Moff Conway when i've finnished downloading some Jennifer Love Hewitt images from my company's website. * *They are normal btw; untill I get to grips with them!

Woo again to Grand Moff Paul! Cats, despite being fluffy with big fluffy ears, are also sinister, the more so when they are kittens. They also disprove the existance of God. Put one in your ear and you'll get to hear the rocks and pebbles muttering. It's true I swear!* *May not in fact be true.

Interesting finds dudes! I've been to busy to muck in myself to much of late, but did find this earlier today; part of IKEA's new range of bedroom decor... How shall we destroy Sweden... I also thought this might make you laugh; I found it in my company's archives this afternoon, and have yet to figure out how to make the poor fella move other than his eyelids fully collapsing.... who knows what might happen later...

Well, one thing I will give to the Mac is that you surf amongst Photoshop open with all manor images open all over the place, and the desktop, effortlessly. But sadly that's about it. Apparently my machine is up there with the best in the building at my company, and thus serves me perfectly for my correct job description. However, leave the internet open at the same time; or horror have two or three web pages open at the same time, and unlike a PC which will simply take it's time to navigate everything open, the Mac won't have it. Gifs will be frozen etc. Whilst Mac's seem to pack a great deal of power, and ease through photoshop effortlessly, it seems if you ask them to do to much at once they appear not to know how to handle that power. Hence I think they are crap. I still haven't figured how to download a gif that actually moves once downloaded. Nor have I figured out why I can't surf this site past the front page; when everything else on the web is sort of normal... but never mind!

Click about here! and your request has been granted! Given this has drifted into over 100 frames, 256 kb, and no amount of lossy capable of reducing the file size without killing the quality; that is well and truely that! Download it to your hd's before I clear this one from my hosting space. What I love about photoshop is the realization that when you are thrilled about learning something new you lrealize there is so much yet to uncover! Someone I work with glanced at the first effort and remarked casually he could have done the same at half the file size without any lossy! Scathe: Photoshop is where our images are created; it's in ImageReady where we mash them together into animation. It took me ages to figure out exactly how, but it's infront of your eyes in the animation tool bar. There's a button that unleashes alsorts of obvious stuff....

Mask is more qualified to give qualified answers on the technical front.

Quality! You have inspired me!

I haven't played as the rebels for ages now; but can remeber a few things to kick start a reasonable game as the rebel vermin. If you want a genuinely good game that just might freak you out from time to time, follow these principle rules: -The The Empire; whether AI or controlled starts with military occupied systems. Leave them alone. -Start the game with the Death Star; edited to something realistic like 48/36 capacity with equal laser support to turbo batteries, set at 10/10 for a couple of hundred days. Don't worry to much, the worst that will happen will be comming across not just one, but a second of the buggers when you least expect it, like I remember doing attacking Gorman once long ago. The stats are pointless btw in the long term, the AI is not so thick it won't use the adjusted stats to build one in every system shipyard...it will bear in mind it's capacity... (useless without fighters and support). If you do use this method you simply MUST leave the empire well and truly alone; otherwise it won't work. Let the Empire gather it's self. whilst you exploit the unknown out-rim, whilst doing nothing but defend the inner rim. You'll have the essential ingrediants of a classic rebel versus empire game before the AI looses the plot. If this isn't enough; scrap all this non-hyperdrive crap with Imperial fighters and it's game-on! Imperial fighters were always refered to in the official movies as being better than the rebel antiques. That's where I have always personally drawn the line. The rebel fighters can have all the torpedos they want(lots in my settings) but fighter to fighter, they will lack the modern lasers, targeting systems, and manoeverability of the TIEs. So throw all your Rogue Squadron comics in the trash-bin. -Leave the Empire alone. Period! If you want a real battle of epic proportions, let it's titan-mass do it's thing and build it's juggernaughts. The original game settings aren't that wrong in reflecting a military machine financed with the funds like the USSR during the coldwar at completely tyrannical proportions at about 13% gpr, building big and massive things, whilst the rebels are forced to build up their fleets more slowly, and on more less-military intensive levels. IE: It's easier to blocade a system with two corellian corvettes and an escort than an ISD.

I'm not entirely certain quite why, but...well..it's not quite complete! Send me your STATIC gif images resized to 80x78 and you'll be 'phased in' Trek style to the gif. The file size I can manipulate to retain smallness; I just want something for posterity... lots of life i've had around here! No avatar? This can be cured by being nice to me. Contact me and we can mutter and gibber; exchanging lice and wild-grubs, etc. Having a go with photoshop is always fun for me, so drop me a line! [/img]

It seems then I am not alone. [small=9]Despite thinking the guy is a jerk, one has to almost admire his quest of utter self-torture. God he must have suffered something...[/size]

Roger that! Have a picture I found sitting in a dusty corner of the YodasEars msn space, me ozzy mate!

What a pleasent surprise for an otherwise drab Sunday evening! Good to hear from you Tex, i'm glad the training is going well, and you haven't started to end your posts with, 'SIR,YES SIR!' Do show this to your kids (via BBL) and say if the Force is strong with them (which i'm sure it is) they will notice why it's a gif and not a jpg.. but it is very subtle*. I made this afternoon, and had intended to involve a rusty otter, but I couldn't find one on the web. Kids like fluffy things anyway, so here's a good opportunity to dedicate it to them. Reloaded.. getting there Tex, could have done with your vocal talents (still could) but thing's are beginning to fit together, slowly... Life without the internet... good lord, the concept is to horrible to contemplate! Stay safe up there my friend! *If you can't be bothered to suss it out for yourself as the learned father, the Panda's eyes blink after 5 seconds.

I got carried away so much into my rant I forgot to point out that whilst the physical act of munching a Big Mac is an enjoyable sensation, I know not if I am alone in always needing to drink water afterwards, and feeling slightly...err... sort of ill! The guy actually ate this stuff for an entire month! I reckon it's actually some Japanese gameshow. They like torturing their contestants don't they?

Gosh, well i've quoted myself with some minor alterations... chiefly we now have some New Republic wav files back open because i'm fed up with being promised stuff that never arrives. So out the equation previous raised hands go. Don't bother replying and suffering me with excuses, cause I aint interested. None of this is 'heavy duty' or that time'consuming. The good members who have produced the goods will have realized all of this isn't such a big deal to end up in my inbox. If you would like to fill in the blanks that remain, feel free to say so here or email me privately if you require any info on the score, etc. I can send you some of my efforts to give you an idea of how simple this all is! Realistically, I wanted to be discussing the major charactor's lines by now, but this Tactical hurdle I am determined to overcome first! I'll see what happens during next week before doing something drastic, probably involving a hampster, a rusty chainsaw, and a moldy-carrot I was saving for later... warned you were... Oh yeah... jahledATmadasafishDOTcom Given it's very late where I am, i'll clean this quoting myself what-not up tomorrow at some stage, but THANKINESS TEUKROS DUDE! Check the vannishing red my friends! We is almost done! This is a Woo! achievement!

Err... thousands! As soon as I get my own password to the website, you and I can chuckle over a few cans of ale!
