AXA and Allianz are known to me. Both are monolithic companies without any soul.
So is RBS. :P
What concerns me about AXA is their aggressive outsourcing (to India and Ireland). For what is effectively a combined admin office and call centre, where I am now must be hugely expensive.
Ikariam is kind of broken. Trading posts shouldn't require special resources to upgrade, just wood. If you can't get marble, you're kind of fucked.
In theory, you can always get marble, because there's always a marble island withing the minimum trading/pillaging range.
Yeah I pillaged to get going on those resources at first
I have been too, but nobody's got marble for me. I've hit the population cap in my capital, but I need marble to upgrade it so I can support the troops I have to have to raid.
I'm getting an asston of money, though, so I suppose I could take the 600g hit for a bit.
I've never seen Showgirls. I don't think I'm really missing out though.
You can get T&A from better movies.
Yeah like strip tease, it was way funnier, thanks Robert Patrick!
Yeah, so Strip Tease is the one i meant, not Show Girls.
Strip Tease is a hilarious book. Never seen the movie though.
It's a funny movie, and you get to see demi moores plastic body which looks nice. The best parts by far are Ving Rhames as the bouncer and Robert Patrick as the sleazy ex husband.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Hey, our alliance is ranked 500th out of 1.5M! How awesome are we!
And my empire's score is now over 1000. I have no idea how or why or what that means. But at least I'm average for the alliance, and not the weakest member like when I first joined.
at the rate I go through razorblades and hot water, waxing would probably be a money-saving strategy :V
This is why I'm so glad I have fine hair. I can use a disposable razor for months.
In the winter, I can get a week or a week and a half out of one of the detachable heads to my razor. Now that I have to keep about six times as much acreage hairless, it's just a losing battle. I go through one every 2-3 days, otherwise it's impossible to get a close-enough shave on my face.
If I was waxing away some other parts of my body, I would get a lot more mileage out of the razor for the parts I can't wax.

Wait, where are you again? I could send you some marble from the 80:80 neighborhood if you want.
Either Hait-Ashbury at 85:73, or Hippie Commune at 85:71. How do I join the alliance? I've got my embassy up and have sent a message.
You know the two icons, one is "Send Message" and the other one is in German? Click the German one.
Ok, I'll send you some marble from Blanchemains in about an hour.
Thanks, I owe you. I've got wine if you need any, or just straight up cash. Also sulphur, but not much.
Request sent.
I don't think you can send money. Maybe if you were in a trade alliance? Don't worry about sending stuff back. Not now, anyway. If you have extra sulfur to send me at some point, that would probably be good, since I don't have a sulfur island.

I think I'm about to be the weakest member. I've been foundering without any sources of marble anywhere.
I only have to shave my face, because no one cares whether or not I shave anything else. Plus I keep all the rest covered up pretty much always anyway.
Where's your new marble colony? I could really use some marble down in my crystal colony that's not at all close to any of my other colonies. I'd really like to get some marble from peeps in the neighborhood, than send my ships on a 5 day voyage.

Literaly right next to my other two islands. I just started building it this morning though so it's going to be a while before I'm extricating any valuable amount.

I need to wear more revealing garments than I normally would (and I dislike those sorts, typically) in these transitional seasons since otherwise I get an uneven and insufficient tan that will make it impossible to wear more revealing clothes when I don't have a choice.
Since this manifests itself in things even as minor as where boys and womens' shirts sleeves end, I spend a lot of time lounging in front of windows with no shirt on.

I think I've outgrown it or something though, doesn't happen nearly as often as ten years ago.
I have it in my right foot and have done for a couple of months now. It's immensely painful when it hits, feels like my entire foot is on fire and usually disables me for 10-20 seconds.

Except for Playboy, which we read for the articles.
Not far off, as far as I'm concerned. :P
You used the word and a littile too much
Yay I found a ton of cheap DS games at Toysr today

Yeah, I have that problem. It's sort of like how all the dialog in a lot of Mark Twain novels is in utterly terrible grammar.

RBS Insurance is divided principally into UKI, Direct Line, and Churchill. Churchill is subdivided into UAG, Churchill, Prudential, and a few others.
I technically work for Prudential, but it says Churchill on my employment documentation, and RBS on anything from HR.

Ok, I simply have to ask. Where does this "the shit"... bullshit come from? How could that happen?
And people say I'm not a gentleman.
I considered yelling at you, but meh.
Agreed. he writes some hilarious characters.
I haven't read him much lately, sadly. Been on a Scalzi kick.
You weren't showing off your gorgeous legs?
What kind of gentleman are you?

Zen is from the under-18 district of Neo-Tokyo, known colloquially as Kawaii-town
I see how it is! D&D gathering in Portland and no one invites the Pants..... No, no, it's ok, i'm not upset. I've just got something in my eye.
Oh yes. I have that shit. :^:

It's getting annoying.
