On the other hand, "ahold" is a completely useless informal noun that might as well just be written as "a hold", being that that is its exact definition.

Nuh uh! The exact definition is "a hold or grasp."

Noun? You sure it isn't a preposition?

[Mas Tnega]

Based on the number of dictionaries that say it's a noun, I'll conclude that you raise an interesting question.

Knowone who invented words.

It takes one to knowone.

Knowbody noes the troubles I've seen.

He trounced me about 4 times in a row last time I played. My ladder score is miserable (reflecting my played-won ration), but people with 6 games are in the top 100!


Also, in one of the first game I recently played against xander he car bombed me,. It triggered some primordial Multiwinia response. A ha! That old tactic.

But... I had totally forgotten how to car bomb. I knew it was possible, and was mashing keys to find which one...

Moreover, that trick is incredibly well hidden in these forums. There's a lot of discussion of the tactic, but only once or twice is it directly stated how to do it.

In searching for it I found myself earnestly discussing its merits. Right there, on the screen, was an archive of me, so full of knowledge. And yet I could not wrangle it out of the depths of my mind.

If only the rest of my memory was so efficient at forgetting obscure bits of information which I'll probably never have use for again...

Fuck the car bomb, what about the cool armour tricks? Like circle deploying. And, uh... circle deploying. And, uh, distracting the enemy from your MW hordes. And circle deploying.

• Load armour with plague-infected DGs.
• Direct armour to enemy spawns.
• Unload armour.
• ???
• Profit!

So, Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai just came screaming onto my radar.

Empire and Napoleon have been my two favorite by far, and the return of 19th century tech has got me excited!

I just worked out the "forums.introversion.co.uk/introversion/uplink" trick.

I can now bear to read the forums.

I know this is not new, I know this is actually incredibly old, and I know I'm by far from the first person to have done this. But I am neverthless going to allow myself to feel somewhat chuffed that I worked that out all by my lonesome.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

My favourite period of Japanese history by far.

I am AWESOME!

That is all.

I'm not particularly interested in Japanese history, but I am really interested in the clash of cultures and technologies. What is essentially high end medieval warfare meeting late 19th century technology and tactics.
