The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz

Exactly, it is Britains word against theirs for now. They have confessed, but has that come straight from the horse's mouth, or from the Iranians. Me thinks the latter. And if they have confessed, we don't know what "questioning" methods were used to get them to "confess".

Excellent story, maybe people finally stop believeing all this "stars" nonsense!

Excellent work, daryl! The Team has come on leaps and bounds since I was a member, all propelled by you! Nice models!

Umm, this isn't a CJ. Do you intend to post any pictures of a SimCity 4 version of Seoul at all, or is this all you are going to do? Besides, around ST, we tend not to PM people to get them to look at your CJ, it's called Spam.

If that is true, and it was Iraqi waters in which the men were captured, then the Iranians had absolutely no right to do that. Outrageous.

For architecture, Geometry would probably compliment that best, considering you are likely to be working with shapes nad stuff as an architect.

The first game I remember playing was 3D Chess on an ancient computer, must have been Windows 95. I also remember playing an archaic version of Solitaire and Minesweepper on that same computer. I then remember buying some HotWheels computer game which was on a 3 and a 1/2 inch floppy disk, along with a little car you got with it. My first real introduction to gaming (and probably the reason I love Nintendo so much) was when I played GoldenEye on my friends Nintendo 64. I was blown away by the graphics, and the idea of the game, particualarly on multi-player. Shooting your friends? What a BRILLIANT idea! From then on I nagged my parents for a Nintendo 64, and I got one that christmas, along with GoldenEye, Wave Race 64 and Super Mario 64. Super Mario became an instant favourite as well, anbd it took my quite a while to complete it (a year or two if I remember correctly, I wasn't as fastidious at gaming as I know am!). I tallyed up my game collection for the N64 until about 2000, maybe 1999, when I was introduced to Pokemon by a friend. At that time, EVERYONE played with Pokemon cards, even the kid that hated the nerdy kids had them. And if you had a GameBoy with one of the games you were a legend in the playground. It took me a while, but I finally got my GameBoy Colour for christmas, along with Pokemon Yellow. After a year of playing this, I was still engrossed by Pokemon, and for my birthday, I got Pokemon Gold... before it had been released in the UK (from some specialist suplier or something). As you can imagine, this was unheard of at my school, and for a while, EVERYONE wanted to know me and play my game. Then, after another year or so, Pokemon became uncool, no one played with cards or GameBoy Pokemon. I think it was 2002, I was engrossed in the progress of the GameCube, and it had been placed on my Christmas list long before I wrote it. That christmas, I got my GameCube with Star Wars Rogue Leader (the game I really wanted my Gamecube for) and Pikmin (which would grow into a much loved favourite of mine). I accumulated my GameCube games until 2006 when there was something new to be interested in... That controller... The Virtual Console... It was the perfect console. The Wii. It's sleek design was the stuff of my dreams, and they were for many people, because stock was so limited that they were hard to come by. Just before Christmas, on the 21st of December, we heard that a batch of Wii's would be delivered to Game nearby the next day. My dad agreed and we arrived there for a 9 o'clock opening. There were 6 people in the queue in front of me, but that didn't bother me, but it should have. I waited until 11:30, all 8 of us were srtanding in a circle talking about it when a worker wandered by us speaking into his walkie talkie "I've just got to take this delivery". We stared at each other and moments later I spotted 6 boxes with "Wii" labelled on the side carried into the shop. I couldn't believe it, a Wii! But my excitement was shortlived as I realised there were 6 Wiis, and 6 people infront of me in the queue. On christmas I receieved an "I O U" for a Wii, and I searced and searched and scoured the internet for a Wii. Nothing without having to wait 14 weeks for delivery. In February, I was in Koln in Germany, and having just visited the Cathedral, we were walking down a shopping street. Through one window something caught my eye. Wiis. Stacked from the ground to waist height, about 5 along and 5 wide, a stack of Wiis. I couldn't contian my excitement, but something told me this was too good to be true. I ran into the shop and approached the pile. No melee of people like I'd heard of. They simply sat there, content at their place on the ground. I picked it up, it was heavy, there was something in it. This was the day I finally got a Wii. Theres my gaming history...

I have two cats, Domino and Jess. Jess is on the left, and that's Domino on the right. Some people have some very cute cats!

Very interesting, but it seems a bit harsh to send a man out of the town for breaking a window, especially with Dragons out there! But that city doesn't like anything I've seen in this CJ before, shall be very interesting to see what will happen. BTW, just call me Muzz, I know it must be a bit of a pain to write out my full screen-name.

This is such a cool story! I've never got into a stroy based CJ before, but you have a real talent for it!

"Who the hell, put boullion cubes in the shower head, huh? Did you do it? Did you? If it happens again... I will wait, in my SUV... blast me some speed metal - 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass... and someone... will be getting... mowed... down..." Hooch from Scrubs "Honestly, that man has killed so many patients I'm beginning to think he's a government operative..." Dr. Cox from Scrubs about an incompetent intern "What do you mean don't eat too much chocolate? All the other kids hate him, chocolate's the only friend he's got!" Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain

I didn't realise such terrains were possible with SC4... Well done!

Awesome work, Sepsis! I can almost hear the drab, Russian vocal music!

In my opinion, young people are too afraid of homosexuals, because they have never encountered them before. Some people say "I'm homophobic, I couldnt be friends with a gay person." How do they know that? Have they ever met a gay person, probably not. It didn't change my opinion of any of my friends here at ST when I discovered some of them were gay. If they realised that it isn't such a big deal, they probably wouldn't use gay as an insult, but people still get called it for something that has absolutely no homosexual relations... Unless they mean happy, of course...

I read somewhere that it should be called "Communist with Chinese Characteristics". How that is justified, I don't know, considering "Chinese Characteristics" would traditionally be considered pure communism and totalitarianism, but I'm assuming it meant China's twist on Communism. While one or two of the fundamental foundations of it still exist, it's pretty much been washed away by Capitalist ideas.quote> China as a nation (the Middle Kingdom) has been around in some form or another for 5000 years. Communist China has been around for less than 100 years. What they are referring to a "Chinese Characteristics" is the Chinese culture that pre-dated communism. Didn't China have the first currency? They have certainly had commerce as part of their culture from way before European civilisation, and money (and gambling) are very much a part of the Chinese culture. This is what they mean by "Chinese Characteristics".quote> I see your point, but unfortunately many people's views of China will be overshadowed by the Communist regime that was in place until recently.

The idea that China will collapse is laughable, considering their economy is just as stable as any western country's. It's like saying the moon will fall to the earth, or my hair is ever going to be not gelled up when I leave the house (). The introduction of SEZ's to China has strengthened the economy by encouraging foreign companies to the eastern coastal regions, albeit at the expense of the well being of those in the rural west. As someone has already said, the Chinese government won't care about a few deaths by pollution (as ruthless as it may sound). They already have over population problems...

I'm sorry I forgot about this... Anyway, I'm western Europe JAM, unless you want a change of partner, thats fine, or you hate me for forgetting to post!

It sounds to me like those who are all screaming about Global Warming really don't like us humans... I mean, they all say "Look what we've done! Aren't we terrible, horrible disgusting creatures?!" And the short answer is no. I agree with N_O_Body, the planet has experienced completely natural climatic shifts since the beginning of time (I think simcitystar has seen one too many bad 60's dinosaur films with cavemen ). The earth is currently in an inter-glacial period between ice ages, we should be glad of the warmth becauyse in a few thousand years we are going to be incased in ice!!! Besides, Global Warming by humans (I believe we do contribute a tiny bit) can't be worse than it was at the turn of last century. The Industrial Revolution, highly unefficient steam trains, factory's billowing smoke produced by raw coal...

I know it's something to do with differentiation. I should know how to do this as I have a Maths exam on tuesday... Ok, you differentiate the function and find the value of x or whatever the letter is. Use this to find y or the other letter. Find where the derivative of the function is zero (as Joe said) and then you do something with nature tables... That was as much for my revision as it was for the answer . 5) Ron Burgundy in Anchorman, after Baxter got kicked off the bridge by the biker guy (LOL).

I love it!
