The counting game

3699 you'd better take cover beforehand. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

well, mindgames are something towards which i have an attitude which is undoubtedly unique for me, if it's brought in a certain way. you see, i appreciate wit and cunning in others. if i understand the game being played (it's hard to define what i mean here) i won't mind. in fact, i'd probably laugh and congratulate the person on the good move, take my hat off if i had one. in Megatokyo, Miho is such a person. you might see what i mean. she gets introduced at comic 99, though her character is still very undefined there. later you'll see the character i appreciate so much.

correct. surrendered ships get attacked by anyone, which is wierd. or at least my some unlikely ships.

and BLAMMO! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> anyone who gets those numbers gets himself shot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

ah, i know how to describe this! i appreciate a worthy adversary who doesn't play to hurt, but to seek a worthy adversary him- or herself. it's the way of thought that applies to those who master something or think they have. they want to find something to gain greater skill. one of your assasination targets in the mateus santos quest has the same attitude.

Mostly, I don't interfere with the people that play mind games - they more often than not pick a burly farm kid to go after, who promptly beats them to a bloody pulp at the end of the day <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .

I only ever started the mateus santos quest a long time back - I'll have to play it through to see how it ends.

I'm currently using a ship I figured I'd only ever use as target practice - a xebec ct. I'm wondering why I'd never used one of these things sooner - is she ever fast!

i got some notiority myself. i never hesitated to go for the face of my annoyance with my fists. that's kept others off me ever since. somehow everyone knows me while i don't know them.

the quest has a new ending. i'm not sure if it's in build 13 yet, but i've played it once and it doubles the fun of the quest.

try maxing your sailing skill while you still have the chebec. those things can nearly turn on the spot! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

That's the way it seems to be with me as well - people I've never met start talking to me like we're best buddies, and I haven't the faintest idea who any of 'em are! I've never needed to resort to me fists, as the farm kids tend to attack anyone who bothers me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , even though I've never asked that of any of them.

Methinks I'll be hanging on to the chebec for quite some time - the ship's made my crew and I over 800,000 piastres since I captured her about midday yesterday <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
3706

that's not it. they know me, but never talk to me. must be that thundercloud above my head. i'm scary if i want to be. a shameless *BWAAAAAAH!* <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> usually sends them running down the hallway! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> or at least leaves them flabbergasted.
 
3707

Oh, so you're one of those crazy people <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . Well, about the most popular (or should I say well-known) people in this school is the "trench coat kid". He's one to avoid, especially since he's been caught numerous times with pipe bombs and knives in his locker <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> . I just <i>love</i> inner-city schools <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> .

that sounds like Greg. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> he's a yacht sailor, so we often talk about ship designs n' stuff. he's got this long black trenchcoat with a bit of goth style in it. crazy black spikey hair. totally not the guy you'd expect to hang out with me. he often wears black finger gloves, black combat boots, things like that. often pummels you without warning.

and yes, i'm totally crazy, and i'm enjoying it. it may sound wierd, but i actually try to be a curious character. for instance, normal people just move their head to look at something. i only move my eyes, making it look like i'm staring ahead. i often close my eyes when moving them, so i'm suddenly looking in a different direction when i open my eyes again. it tends to freak people out, and i love it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
