9 fingers? Really Khell, that is some hand you got there.



In many countries, the thumb is designated as just another finger :D


Don't be trying to balaclava me, you are in the same country as me. Another "digit" yes, "phalanges" yes, but finger? I don't know. We call a Thumb a Thumb. Spanish is different I am sure, Indice and el pulgar, if I remember right.

Other languages do not count :)



Look it up in a dictionary or a science book - a thumb is considered a finger just like all the rest (though, yes, it is a different, 'specialised' form of finger). Think of new mothers delighting in the fact that their newborn has "ten fingers and ten toes". No one ever says, "eight fingers and two thumbs."


"Ouch I have cut my finger!"

"which one"

"my thumb"



Congratulations, you know the name of a particular finger :D Do you know the names of the others too?

Of course, it's the proper scientific name. And that's not 'shit', that's 'knowledge' :) Have I won yet? Have you come to accept that the thumb is indeed another finger, even if in common English parlance it is often excluded from that classification?

It's CF's go I reckon.

Okay I accept defeat of awful grammar and mediocrity. Foiled by Khell and his superior intellect.

Upgrade: Gluon computer over electron computer on interceptor. Fusion source over regular-type source on cruiser.

EDIT

@SS -

You better be moving that cruiser along to greener pastures, cos if you keep it on my system I will kill it and/or take one of your systems in return. Warp portal swings both ways my friend.

@SS Again,

If you want, I can move my interceptor so you can fly on through to wherever you're headed as part of my next action.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Now now play nice.
Yeah as you're later post states, if you could move it then I can get through to complete a scientific research mission I've got planned.

Yeah that would be great.

No problem. Interested in diplomacy by the way? i have no quarrel with you and I also no longer have the traitor card!

EDIT -

That is, after you vacate my system. I don't think we can enter diplomacy with you sitting there. Might have to wait until upkeep.

EDIT EDIT

For that matter, Tapper are you interested in diplo now? You were interested in it before as insurance against attacks. I'd be willing to enter diplo with you too.

As twelve said, I think Tapper now has the Traitor card, so can't enter into diplo with you.

SS you asked my advice on some things earlier.

@CF: Him joining in against Tatts forces him to spend a lot of actions to get there. And you're now telling him that you intend on keeping that hex? I.e. you build ships behind him and trap him there???

You didn't move your interceptor out of his way. Then you threaten him. And now you're going to keep the door? "oh, it's open and I'll move that ship next time."

So SS, my advice is you need to think very carefully before you move farther than you already are from your home systems.

Oh hello, sower of discontent. Let's leave out the fact that the two want to enter into diplomatic relations :D

Ok, that means little to the Pirates, but still! I don't see why CF wouldn't move the interceptor next go.
