EDIT: War target! CN Players report! August 29, 2010
Urgent: Read for war target, nice and easy soft target!
Hey! You! Yes, you, guest. Read this blog and join the 64Digits CyberNations alliance!
----------------------------------------------
I've written our charter, and it's available here:
http://cybernations.64digits.com/forums/index.php?topic=57.0
Thus the alliance is ready for phase two, which is to recruit from the general CN population en masse.
BUT WAIT! There's a problem!
There is scarce little activity from people who are actually from 64Digits.com. Even the people who for a month stuck with it and built their nations every day, are drifting away.
I know it's been boring till this point, but that was sort of expected.
First, you should realize, this is not a nation building game, it's a political simulator. If you don't engage at some level, you're bound to get quickly bored! Either internal alliance politics or global politics. Otherwise you're just twiddling your thumbs 'till the next big war breaks out.
I predict that our recruitment may gain us between 50-100 new members, none of which come from 64Digits.com. The intent was that we would form a government core of mostly 64Digits members - We are smart, we are relatively elite compared to most of the internet, even compared to the highly intellectual CyberNations community (The part active in political discourse that is). And most importantly, our namesake in the game is '64Digits.' We're smart enough to make a huge impact in this game - and this game is basically a long, drawn out game of chess.
Plus, as programmers, we have another advantage - the ability to write calculators and a series of other tools to gain a technical mastery over the game as no other alliance can.
So join and lets do this! That means you, guest.
Copypasta Information:
Our forums are at http://cybernations.64digits.com/forums/ and we have an IRC channel at #cn64 on irc.coldfront.net, and the game itself, which you should register for, is located at http://www.cybernations.net/ (Though I'm sending you through my referral link, there's no use in throwing free resources in the trash)
When you create your nation, pick the White Team as your team color. There are very good guides on how to play (Read: power leveling) on our forums, and I'll mask you for membership once you create your nation. You should then click "Edit My Nation" towards the bottom of the Nation Menu, and under Alliance Affiliation, select Choose Other and then type in '64Digits.'
Monies will be dropped on your heads at one point or another, probably sooner than later, to the tune of $3 million a pop, the maximum allowable aid to be sent.
Signing up for a forum account and filling out an application is now a requirement if you haven't already joined. Because we will soon be entering a period of intense recruitment, it is necessary to keep a record and to maintain the paperwork. (You're automatically accepted for being a member of 64Digits.com though)
Vicodin, Cocaine, Pot, Acid, Ecstasy, Shrooms, you name it, we got it, all absolutely free!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, but you have to join Cybernations.

Also, I will have a preference for 64Digits members to take up roles in the leadership of this alliance, naturally because I actually know you people better than the other fresh recruits We'll be getting. Also, you know, it's our namesake.
Hi.
First, if you haven't joined, then join! The alliance is doing fairly well so far. Sign up at www.cybernations.net and set your team color to white, and once you create your nation, click "Edit my Nation" and set your alliance affiliation to 64Digits. Also, sign up at http://cybernations.64digits.com/forums/ that is very important.
Monies may or may not be immediately dropped on your head, there's a bit of a situation in the world, but I'll see what I can do. I know one guy on our forums is offering charity funds to people who post in his thread, hey it's a free 3 million bucks, why wouldn't you take it?
Current stats: 13 members and 200k Nation Strength. Not terrible for the short period we've been around, though the bulk of that 200k is from fat old veterans of the game.
Aid programs will be put into place down the line to rapidly accelerate growth of members.
And I'm largely running out of things to say. Again there is a bit of a global crisis at the moment... In fact I'd say it's a great time to join up if you haven't already, things could get interesting.
This is an alliance in an internet MMO war game. We're coming back and to new heights, I'm working around the clock to get things set up and running. An official charter is in the works with a couple of folks who have been at this game for long enough to know what works.
Anyway, the reason I'm making this blog is to tell you to JOIN our alliance, our endeavor under the 64Digits name, to establish (or rather, re-establish) our presence, and once again impact the game.
Technically, we've been here for awhile, and we have a reputation of extreme honor (and thus, respect) for our past actions, and we are going to continue on that path.
Anyway, enough blabbing. Our forums are at http://cybernations.64digits.com/forums/, we have an IRC channel at #cn64 on irc.coldfront.net, and the game itself, which you should register for, is located at http://www.cybernations.net/ (Though I'm sending you through my referral link, there's no use in throwing free resources in the trash)

So it happened to me this morning. On accident, actually. Strange.
Basically, I wasn't expecting it, and I tried moving my arm, but it just wouldn't go, like it was tied down or something. I immediately say to myself, holy shit, because I know it's sleep paralysis.
Then I get this sensation through my whole body, that I'm just shaking, vibrating really hard and fast. Uncomfortable.
But the thing is, when it happened, I was in a reeeeally awkward position. Twisted all funny. So I forced myself out of it by wiggling my toes (Fingers were stuck) and something in my face which strangely I forget, and like a minute later I was out of it.
Woulda been hella scary if I didn't know exactly what was going on. Thank you internet for educatimating me.
So that's my story. It was quite interesting, and I'm gonna try to induce it again maybe tonight.
look retarded. I remember when we picked them out, we had a vote, and you tards voted for this shit.
They suck.
Looking through my old shit, I found my submission to that contest:
I vote we have another poll on this matter. The fist is retarded. Another badge submission contest or something, please.

Thank GOD. After that abomination of a movie, the creators of the actual television series are making a spin off series.
Generally I'm not in favor of spin-off series, but Avatar: The Last Airbender was too short and had too abrupt of an ending, and anything to wash out the bad taste of this movie is a welcome sight.
I suppose I should admit I never actually saw the movie. I will download it just for the sake of it as I'm a fan of the series, but I've seen clips, heard enough, and know enough that the attempts to compress 10 hours of story into a 2 hour movie cannot POSSIBLY go over well. I mean let's face it, one of the strengths of the series was it's deep character development. There was very little wasted space in the television series. I wouldn't believe it was a good movie if people were raving about it, let alone panning it. It's left a bad taste in my mouth and I haven't even seen it.
Anyway, I'm excited to hear about this new series, which is bad because it's now going to feel like 80 years before we get any information about it, let alone it's actual release.
I'm going to try and induce sleep paralysis.
That's basically when your brain literally paralyzes your body during REM sleep so you don't act out your dreams. Except sometimes people wake up and find themselves paralyzed. And then they hallucinate because their brain still thinks they're asleep, and it really can scare the shit out of you (This is where 99% of alien abductions and demonic spirit encounters come from)
But if you go into it prepared, you can avoid the fears that come with it being unexpected. And it can apparently lead you to have lucid dreams, which are a pretty sweet deal.
From what I've read on the Internets, and this method may thus turn out to be unreliable, is that you have to lay motionless on your back and try to stay awake. If you get an itch or the urge to roll over, ignore it because that's your brain testing to see if you're still awake. And if you want to get out, and this is probably even more reliable, it says to hold your breath and shock your brain into full wakefulness. More reliable sources say to try and wiggle fingers and toes if possible, to look around the room and control what you can to try and help your brain to figure out that you're awake.
Unrelated video filled with lulz:
Warning: Every other fuckin' word in the above fuckin' video is the motherfuckin' word 'fuck' so if you're fuckin' offended by such fuckin' language don't fuckin' watch the fuckin' video. Or read this fuckin' disclaimer.
OK, this is an interesting topic, and I think we may get a lively debate going here...
Piracy, where do you stand on it?
Please note that this applies equally to games, movies, music, etc. so if you say "Pirating games is wrong!" because you're a game developer, but then download music, you're a big fat hypocrite.
My stance is that it is freedom of information. I believe that you have a right to access information without having to pay some sort of fee, and this includes forms of entertainment.
But how then, do the producers of information make money?
Simple. Movies make money by showing in theaters. Music artists make money by performing live. Both will also profit by selling merchandise. These are extremely profitable ventures, and indeed, music artists for instance rarely make a dime off of record sales anyway, all of that money goes to the RIAA, unless you're huge like Metallica or something.
Furthermore, some individuals who are not past pirating will buy legitimate copies anyway, because they simply want to have an 'official' copy. I download games, but I buy legitimate copies of Pokemon games because that's my thing. I just want a legit copy for no other reason than wanting a legit copy.
Piracy is not some huge threat to the industries. There will ALWAYS be people available to purchase official copies or merchandise, or go to live viewings and performances. And in the case of small game developers or independent music artists, people are much more likely to shell out the cash as a sign of support for such groups.
Piracy stops with accessing information, however. The freedom to access information does not and should not allow you to profit off of other people's ideas by selling their information as your own. The producers of information still 'own' that information and they own the right to make money off of it.
