Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    There certainly are a few people I'd like to kickstart to a frigid, lifeless place with no breathable atmosphere millions of kilometers away. :thumbsup:

    We are going to build a Mars colony with 250$. It has a Southpark vibe.

    Everyone probably realised that a Mars colony would be too popamole and backed WL2 instead.

    They saw through the marketing bullshit.

    Why would anyone go to Mars ? No restaurants, slow Internet, no blue lesbian aliens. Fuck you, Mars.

    Water and iron ore. What more could you want!?!
    Slap some solar panels on top of a bunker carved into the side of a mountain with access to water and you are set! Expand, explore, exploit, exterminate other colonies.

    The sad truth of the matter is he wasn't even going to spend the money on a 'Mars colony' anyways; it was for a sex change operation.

    Looks like he trolled the codex successfully.

    On a serious note: why can't the USA cut back on its warfare and use that money (which would be billions) for advancement in space.

    No you dumb KWA's just keep trowing money in the bottomless Afghan Pit. And so the advancement of our species is halted.

    Did someone say moonbase? There's be a good reason for not doing that:



    Seriously, Barbara Bain in space. Not a good idea. And the second season was produced by Fred Freiberger. The whole idea spells doom and destruction.
