What will Languish be like in 10 years?

[BuddhaRhubarb]

hopefully not some kind of ghey looking virtual world. Probably similar but crankier and more conservative. We'll be celebrating grumbler's centenary, MB's 5th set of twins. jaron will be Governor of Oxnard....Neil will be a rabid Leafs fan... okay that last one will never happen.

History Channel told me that Arabs respect you more if you carry a blade or axe or tomahawk. Is that true?

Can't tell. I've heard about it, like I have also heard that arabs fear handguns more than assault rifles.
I have never asked one, really. All this sounds pretty stupid to me (as in tactically ineffective), but it could be true, since backward people always place a high value on valor and bravery, and using a blade in combat is suppossed to be brave.

[Siege]

And Syt, by *respect*, you meant *fear*, right?

[Eddie Teach]

BVN and SBR both claim to be new since the old board crashed. They both blend in so well it's hard to tell if they're right.

Ulmont also started posting with the new board, though I think he played some of the multiplayer games on the old one.

No, I mean "This guy's a man who knows how a man should be" vs. "Look at the American dumbass".

[Alatriste]

Bored. The damn war is pretty much over, not counting the occasional bombing.
We are suppossed to go out in missions with the iraqi security forces, in support role, but they don't want us to go with them because it makes them look bad in the eyes of the local populace.

We still go out every day, but is just travelling from base to base. No more raids for us. At least not here in Baghdad.

You guys need to be more like the Euros. DO that and peacekeeping will last another 30-40 years of conflict and violence.

Yeah, because you hear constantly about murders, terrorist attacks and bombs exploding in Kosovo, Macedonia and Bosnia, right? And Lebanon... man, since European troops came to Lebanon it has been just a round of killings after another! And let's no mention Chad, Congo or Ivory Coast... actually, wherever French troops go in their old colonial empire, conflict is sure to get eternal!

Man, the actual soldiers on the ground, like Siege, are never the ones talking out their asses... but then again, I bet Siegy would never define Iraq as a 'peacekeeping operation'.

Well I am new (I lurked on the old board however), but you will have to take my word for it as I can't really prove it.

Languish has an establishment? 

IC.

There isn't?
I'm sure I've seen references to it floating around....
But yey.

I came to watch the last EU2 multiplayer game Slargos ran, stayed for the insults.

I guess that would be around the middle-end of 2007.  I posted a fair amount back then, but almost only in the Gaming subforum.

Ten years?  I can't imagine.  Several of us will die between now and then.  Some others will likely be in prison. 

And Jaron will be the admin by virtue of being the only one left who cares.

Or some of us could get fed up and cough up some dough so that we could go back to IPB without ridiculous server restrictions.

Or we could just move to Google Wave.

Naw, Jaron won't have time. By that time, he'll be President of the United States, with Fireblade as his secretary of state and CdM holding the foreign affairs portfolio.

What with heading up Homeland Security from the comfort of his basement I doubt Seedy will have the time to also handle foreign affairs.
