When someone salty pings me in some language I don't understand (and couldn't be bothered to translate) I reply with a bunch of made up words to highlight their futility. For example: "Boe gamadre see vagraia! Musta madr have boe Ghaf!"

One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Harvey - Elwood P. Dowd: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be,” — she always called me Elwood — “In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant."

'Most Americans think...' I have a strong opinion on that, but I will be kind and let it go. The idea is not far-fetched - in 1999 The International Olympic Committee recognized chess as a sport, and it was even an exhibition event at the Sydney Olympics. But it has always failed to gain entry. Why? Because it is a game and not a sport. I love chess. I was an international tournament chess player in the 1980's. I played all over the world. Chess tournament play is intense and grueling. It takes a physical toll on your body. But even I can see it is not a sport. It's a game. There's a difference. Chess already has its own Olympics - the Olympiad - where players from countries all over the world compete as teams against each other for national pride and medals. eSports should do the same. Maybe they already do? I don't know, I don't follow it.

The Emperor Protects!

Atlanta was my first premium. It's a great ship for most missions and the occasional Rank season

I have … *gasp* … 14.3 million ship XP on my Atlanta.

I've played about 10 games in subs today. If anyone thinks these are over-powered they haven't tried one. They are extremely difficult to play effectively, at least for me so far. Slow, made of glass, hard to maneuver, hard to hit anything other than big slow ships. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and idea, I like having them in the game, but if one of these sinks you it's probably your fault.

I like the CV re-work - I find them challenging and interesting now. I am having fun with the game still. Don't care or feel there's any "Puerto Rico Fiasco" - I'm enjoying playing the event.

Human nature. Being negative is easier. The game changes but these things don't.

A hundred years from now historians will look back at this time and declare it was The Golden Age for crazy people.

Every tier is fun for me from Tier I to Tier X. Different ships and different strategies don't make it less fun or 'worth it' in my opinion - it just makes it different.

For a start, I think this looks really cool. I'm looking forward to seeing where this ends up.

I would love to see her available again, I only have one and would like more.

Maybe the Secondary build is not your cup of tea - different strokes for different folks. For me, I love the full secondary builds on the American Massachusetts, Georgia, and on the German Bismarck, FDG and GK. I use them all in competitive modes like Clan Battles and Ranked Battles. I am not the greatest player, but I have gotten to Rank 1 in them in multiple seasons. It's a mind-set - worry about winning first, and doing damage and surviving second. These may not be the 'best' ships, but they are great ships as part of a team that's focused on winning.

In my last Ranked game our team got completely wiped out. Our team only managed to sink only one ship - one of our own, a team kill. The player who team killed was number one on our team and saved a star. That was my last Ranked game.
