The little "victory resume" in your signature looks ridiculous....

By CDR Stele, in X-Wing

That looks like a disgusting abomination from the nether regions of culinary hell.

See, and I was thinking it looked a lot like Heaven on Earth....

Nah, that would be something far more subtle than a salty grease-and-sugar sledgehammer to the face.

My stance on the gun debate: Fine, a pistol is fine, should absolutely never be kept loaded and follow all fire arm control rules. Do people really need to own assault rifles and 50 cals? Rifles for hunting are fine.

Gun control laws in the US could stand to be tighter.

I don't believe that prohibition in any form works, and if guns are legal to own then they can at least be tracked and logged.

No, they do not need them.

The gun control laws in the US are not really the issue, the problem is more along the lines that they are not enforced. The unite states wasts a trillion dollar per year on fighting terrorists which they seem to always arm first themselves (hello ISIS, hello al-qaeda), meanwhile they are unable to even disarm gangs. And that is not because those gangs own their weapons legally. As long as this stands any additional gun control laws are just window dressing. Furthermore there are armies with less guns head than the united states. A simple law will not make all those gun's gone overnight, which again becomes an issue of law enforcement. "If you take all guns away from the law abiding citizens then only criminals would have them", is more than just a strawman.

Would I like us-american gun laws in germany? HELL NO!

But I think they are fine as they are for the united states.

As an aside, but in a similar vein as the original topic:

I don't care how many ships you have. I have lots too. So does most everyone else on here. This is one of the things that my brother does that bothers me as well - "I have XX ships" or "I have at least XX of every ship". Blah blah blah. NO ONE CARES!!!

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine"......

LOL, sheesh.....

DariusAPB - I really dont want to be a jerk about this, but in this forum, no one cares. there are a billion other places were you can talk about this stuff, but unless your guns make pew pew noises, then leave it alone. Don't feed the bad politico behavior.

Now about the tacos...

Yeah, you're prolly right. That's still a weak taco.

Oh, if you were to bacon wrap the aforementioned soft taco, or even a hard taco with better meat i'm sure it'd be fantastic.

Not many people could pee that high.

This thread has been done before. And as someone with the offending items in my signature, I'll say what I said then.

First, it's not for you, it's for me.* It's a relevant place to keep track of what I currently own (I keep my X-Wing inventory on the X-Wing forums, you see?). I don't care if you read it and know what I own, or don't. If I wanted you to know, I'd PM you every time I bought a ship. ;)

Second, it can actually be useful - and I suspect this may be where it started - for newer players to the game when asking questions about how and what to build if they can just say, "see my signature for what ships I have".

Third, as was pointed out up-thread, you can turn them off if you don't like looking at them.

*This goes for my tournament record, too. It helps motivate me to look back and say, "remember that one you won, self? you can do it again!"

@ObiWonka:

While I cannot refute your first point (I keep my inventory in my squad builder app), I suspect that your second point may be off in that my bet is that it started as (or very nearly at the start turned into) a braggadocios method of showing how much more someone was 'into X-wing' than everyone else. Just sayin. I have no evidence to support this theory, only a strong suspicion.

LOL, please don't PM me every time you buy a new ship and I promise the same. :)

Hey can we end this thread so I can change my signature back?

Also your making me hungry.....

I'm proud of this thread.

So many possible derailments. So many delicious tacos. Personally, I'm a steak quesadilla person myself. With bacon. Extra bacon.

K bra, i'm so shaken up by the thread I cant sleep at night with out meds.

All I want is to browse these useless ******* forums and trawl through **** to find those minuscule threads that are actually worth reading with some substance, and helpful insight.

You are distracting the good posters of this forum with your trash. Leave them be so they can write something good.

This game needs the TIE Avenger, Kimogila and Assault Gunboat.

No, no, and no.

It needs the TIE Scout, Uglies, and Vong Coral Skipper!

In the dark realm of the X-Wing message boards there is only war!

This last weekend was my crusade weekend.

I bought space marine cheap for the PC and beat it on hard in a marathon session, blade retribution with the wife and played the battlefleet gothic beta. The imperium ships are better.

I went full loyalist /sicktostomach.

You went full Loyalist? Dude...you NEVER go full Loyalist!

Cleanse your pallet with a healthy dose of Green. WAAAAGH!

Not sure what you mean......

Bravo, Sir. Bravo!

Yeah.

Now the perfect taco, in my opinion is a soft shell, 40-60 refried bean and meat mix, though a 30-70 rice meat can also work, enough to it sticks together, no risk of run.

I need to have hot tobasco, like red peppers, a little onion, or guac.

Taco sauce and salsa optional.

Personally speaking I'm partial to chorizo and sweet potato, served with pickled red onions and spur cream.

Failing that, seasoned shredded chicken, beef or pulled pork with fresh coriander, crisp lettuce, fresh lime and chili del arbol hot sauce

Speaking of Tacos....we have one player who will gorge himself on Taco Bell just before a tournament....for the express purpose of chemical warfare.

You do have a permit though, so I can see that as being ok. It's one of those debates that, Yeah Luke C is right - we shouldn't go that far into.

I was very much against the UK handgun bans, but understand the hows and whys.

Pfft guns are for people afraid to look the other guy in the eye, now a spoon that's a real man's weapon.

You just gave me the idea for an awesome new signature!

So, victory things in sigs?

Man. I want to put "your mom" in my sig now.

that's funny.

Economic policy is my kind of kill. Slow and family-oriented.

You're supposed to ask why a spoon >.>

Because a Hobo with a Shotgun is too cliché?

I believe the quote you're looking for is "a spoon? Why not a knife?"

Considering his profile is from the good old USA, I would gather this is the M240 Machine Gun...

So, a US citizen names their profile after a gun; yet thinks listing a tournament record in signature is ridiculous.

The irony.

Guns are either made of Steel or Brass.

I think it provides more clout than showing off what you bought with money and not skill. :P
