free ride lol
your ignorance is amazing.

I'm going to donate $100 like i promised when i see actual results in a timely manner. When a group of people are charging $60 for diablo 3 and they spent years along with millions developing a game, i don't see why i should donate any significant money to pang. I think I may owe him $1 or maybe $2 at most. If everyone here did that, then they'd have more than enough funding for the kind of work they put in.

Go back to work ZEN, i just love your hating. In a few years, stock market will take another small tumble. I will make even more money than now and laugh all the way to the bank. I will wish that you lost money because a lot of people will too while i will cash in on their losses :)

lots of people do it blid. In fact, most clubs are packed in the city and tables usually cost $300-600. Every time i go out, every table i see is reserved and bottles coming all night long. But you're right, low income peeps stay in or go to a local bar because it's cheaper.

You know what ZEN, you can work for the rest of your life so i can make money off you. Maybe not you specifically but people like you. I love taking a dump on people like you whenever i see fit because you only complain about others instead of improving yourself. Don't worry about my finances as it is much better than yours unless you're some kind of multi millionaire. I'm 100% sure you're not though because you think too highly of money. But from now on, I will piss away all the cash the government gives me and i will love it because i know you will hate me more. Make sure you contribute more to your 401k, IRA, mutual funds, etc... so I can make even more money. Thanks ZEN, people like you are my favorites and good thing there's plenty of you out there.

Pang, i would not mind donating at least $100 if I actually see that development deserves that kind of donation. Right now, i don't see much and it is a free game so i don't expect much from it. I don't expect gdi to be fixed anytime soon or rebalancing of the game to happen. I'm not angry that DR is still abused because it's still free lol. I find it funny so many people get angry about a free game lmao.

I have always donated to indie games. Take battlecraft for example, I gave them $150 because they have constant fixes, updates, improvements and additional features added almost weekly. I rarely played it but they deserved more funding from the hard work those people put into it. It is a free game also.

if you don't want anyone to interact with your country then mayble you should consider a single player game instead of a multiplayer. Especially a massively multiplayer online game.

"I don't need to do the math. It's called consistency. I also never said that you didn't make "60k a year", but you need to clarify. First you said 40k "doing nothing"....then 60k "going to school". So which is it? Are you going to school or doing nothing?"

---i'll break it down for you
do nothing = 40k retirement
go to school = 40k + 20k
go to school + work for 50k/year = 40k + 20k + 50k
You just don't understand the concept of retirement.

"I see absolutely nothing wrong with your proposal. I see a lot wrong with your need for attention in regards to monetary things whilst you claim to "give all your stuff away"."

need for attention to monetary things? I offered him my hardware. I said if it's not what he needs i can get what he needs but if it costs me more than an addition $200 then I will need help compensating. I'm willing to help you guys host a site with what i got, I'm not going to entirely go out of my way with it. The only other thing i ask is for ad revenue to pay the monthly bills for internet, electricity, maintenance and upgrades.
My only benefit from this is i can run other sites on it.


"So let me repeat. You would STILL be the LAST person I would go into business with.

A. You spend $800-$3200 a month on binge drinking while you have a 40-60k yearly income.

B. You give away assets because you, and I quote "bought it, used it, and done with it".

C. You don't see the hilarity in the two following (back to back) statements you made."

First of all, I wouldn't go into business with anyone here including you because i don't know any of you.

A. I spent half my earnings on partying. so what? I think i can do what i want to do with my money. I don't binge drink or do drugs. I pay my bills and don't owe anyone anything. You just sound like you're envious and poor. And if you've lived in the dirt as often as I have for the better part of your early 20s, I'm sure you would party every time you get a chance too.

B. Yes I buy something with a purpose of using it. When I'm done, I can sell it or give it away. I choose to give things away that i don't use anymore because i don't hoard and i like helping people. I help people because it makes me feel good about myself. Is that a problem with you?
If anyone wants to drive by and pick up my old rig then I'll toss it in the trunk for them. Don't expect me to spend $150 shipping it. The only catch is you need to show me that you actually need it because i know some asshole will just resell it.

C. No i don't see any hilarity. Anyone that can afford to do what i do will tell you to worry about your own finances and stfu. Maybe you just need to find a better stream of income other than a job or your parents.

dibs, maybe if you run only intel 775 and just upgrading memory lol. You need to look at the whole pc world. To name a few that are not compatible with each other AM2, AM3, FM1, 775, 1156, etc...

you get the point. There's probably over 10 different platforms that people are currently using right now. At least for HDs it's almost universal except for connectors. Memory are pretty standard across the board except certain brands doesn't want to work with each other sometimes.

ever heard of shipping cost? From what i heard,some of these guys aren't even in the US. Shipping a big ass desktop costs money and it breaks. If i break it up into smaller boxes to ensure safety, it'll cost even more money. Not worth doing for old parts.

BTW, you obviously have never built a system. Parts don't just go together. I don't even know what platform and generation he has.

You don't have ocean front properties and I'm skeptical about buying more property in arizona as the real estate is looking crazy again over there. Appreciation based on speculating investors is only going to send it crashing agian.

Zen -
do some research before you start calling bs.
retirement = 40k a year
gi bill = full tuition + monthly stipend of 1900/mo = 20+k a year + all tuition paid

do the math. Hence, why i said i make over 60k just going to school with no job.

spending 800 a weekend does not mean i got wasted. I go out and have fun. I go clubbing and buy bottles of ciroc or goose at the high end clubs. They usually range from 375 to 475 each. Champagne usually run 175-275. Some of my friends get 2k+ tabs every friday/saturday. But they are business owners, stock brokers or IT contractors. But what does it matter how i spend my money?

I've been doing business and investments on the side since i was 20. I made much more money there than the military has ever paid me. Pick up Robert K's "rich dad, poor dad" book and maybe you'll have the same inspiration.

I give away things i don't need. What's the point of hoarding? I bought it, i used it, i'm done with it so i'll give it to someone who has better use of it than me.

I'm offering to give away my hardware and an hour of my time daily to give you a service for free!. The ad revenue is meant to pay the bill and perhaps some extra to cover upgrades in the future. Regardless, i know it will never amount to anything substantial besides buying more hard drives, ram, and upgrading boards/cpus. Building desktops is a hobby of mine. But laptops are cheap and powerful enough even for gaming now.

The only benefits i get is i can run other things with this server also. That's it! I specifically stated i want to do promotions and that's where i make my money. Ad revenue from a few hundred alliance members are not going to even cover a night at the ritz for me. Hell, it wouldn't even be enough to cover a one day stay at the marriott in south beach.

I know i said that the only reason i would ask pang or whoever to cover cost is if they need a server to a specific stat. Like 4x Interlagos chips and a quad board. I don't have that and i'm not willing to fork out thousands by myself for a free service.

I swear alliance has more drama than i can ever handle. Just forget about my proposal.

That's not the point. I'm trying to help out pang by hosting a site for him at minimal to no cost to anyone. All he gotta do is make sure is that there is enough ad revenue to cover my expenses.
If i had millions, I would've just paid for everything but i'm not.

i kinda qualify that as a statement that you are feeling guilty about things that were beyond your control. i don't really see why you should feel guilty about serving and surviving for 30+ years as a marine.

I am broke because i gave everything away. You can almost call my house a mansion where it was. I drove away the day they retired me and never looked back. I only took what fits in my car.

My exwife stole my credit cards when she left and charged everything on it as she did not get a job until 6 months later. She also sold my bmw 528 and bought her own car. I gave away my escalade and lets people live in my houses for free. I gave away my jetta vr6, lincoln mark 8 and mitsubishi 3000gt vr4. Well, i took $500 because they wouldn't take it for free.

When i left, i took one sea bag and a backpack cause that's about all that fits in my infiniti. Now I don't make a few hundred grand a year anymore but i have my retirement and the gi bill. My monthly expenses are 80% drinking and eating out. The rest goes to my daughter. Recently, I've decided to stop drinking so I'm not that broke anymore :)

I will get back into the stock market again soon as I get my teaching degree. And btw, i'm only 28

DH, you bring nothing but trolling lol. I don't care about your money. I have made plenty and will continue to do so. I'm retired but I'm sure on your best day, you still can't touch me. It may sound horrible to some of you, but I have made a retarded amount of money when the stock market crash. I feel sorry for those who lost their life's savings but it was people's greed and stupidity that gets them there.

Hosting a site with a population already in place is just one of my ideas to start a new promotions business.

My current gaming rig that is not being used is a quad core with 8gb of ram and 4 tb hd in raid for speed and redundancy.

I wouldn't mind sacrificing it as i won't touch it anymore. IDC about trivial cost. I just don't know what you actually need. If i build a real server, just motherboards alone costs $400+ and chips are also priced exponentially higher than desktops. But again, i don't know what you need so i can't estimate any costs. I don't want your personal money unless it costs me thousands. I throw away a $200-800 a weekend on drinking. I can care less about $200.

because i'm not looking for money from you. I'm looking for ad revenue. I might need some compensation for building a server but I think i got most parts needed anyways. If it cost another $200 then i wouldn't even bother asking anyone.

Also, i'm looking for different ways to promote other things like youtube videos and facebook fan pages. So it's not just for the game for me.

i'm not data capped. Certain isp do it but so many people run home servers nowadays. I didn't see a clause saying i can't run a small server. If there is one, I can always get the business account which only cost a bit more. Either way, ISPs only take notice when you're at bandwidth limits constantly.

I think they are worried more about people with torrents than EE game. With popularity of netflix streaming and hulu in these parts of the country, this is nothing.

additionally, the game's hosting is not in question.


this is a public proposal. Not just for you pang.
Anyone here can host another website, we just need your collaboration to make it work once it's up.

1. don't play alliance or care for it so you don't have to worry about me cheating.

2. I'm looking into this as earning potential as i'm always trying to find new ways to make money

3. I'm looking to host other games also if this works out.

My proposal

I have most parts for an AMD based quad core(deneb) or 8 core(zambezi) system. Unless you need real server class stuff which i can also buy.
I have several 1 TB laying around. I think they are spinpoint f1 and f3. Should be good for raid.
I have 16gb of 1600 ddr3 collecting dust.
I have 2 excellent cases from thermaltake that are ideal for a big overclocking gamer's rig or data servers at home.

I can get fiber optic connection with 10 mbps upload and higher if need be. Download 100mbps or more at the highest tier i think.

I'm willing to build a server and host it in my home if you are willing to actually do more marketing. I will host the game and boxcar site as well as long as I can make a profit.

IDK exactly what you need. But post what you actually need here and I can give you cost estimates. I'll pay for everything first then we can arrange payments.

being a casher, i don't want to dedicate too much land on indies as it kills my pci. Even with my tech up to 185%, i still can't get 56pci while a rep enjoys well above 60. You can check it out if you want, my country status is open.

I hate losing 20k spies for failing an op so i don't do it. Failed spy ops + 3 turns per attack means that it doesn't leave me a lot of turns for cs or cash. I also promised jack i would give him good targets everyday so i usually spend 2 spy ops for him. That is why i prefer farming and i made myself feel better by helping the noobs after i farm them. I do have a soul!
