Congrats!

78 for a chance at Eschalon: Book I.
Congrats, Rodzaju.

Can I post a joke? Yes? Ok, here we go.

A POLITICIAN DIED
So a politician died and was sent to St. Peter who welcomed him with the following words:
- "Since you've been a big time politician, I’ll let you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. On the third morning you can pick the one you like best to stay in for eternity".
The politician shook his head in agreement; the thought that even death wasn’t powerful enough to take away his privileges over the common man brought a smirk to his face.

They took the elevator down to hell. A gate opened to reveal a huge golf course, an impressive night club, a luxurious pool, a great casino, all filled with people carelessly having extreme fun. And then he spotted other, long dead politicians he used to be befriended with. They were all dressed up nicely and some were playing golf, others were having fun by the pool drinking and flirting with some gorgeous looking young ladies. He jumped right into the party. Time flew and before he knew it his first 24 hours were up.

The next day, St. Peter took him up to heaven where he spent a day jumping from cloud to cloud, playing the harp all day and chanting along with a lot of peacefully looking people he had no recollection of ever knowing. And so his second 24 hours passed serenely.

In the morning of the third day, St. Peter asked:
- "Have you made a decision?"
- “Yes, ST. Peter, I have. Heaven is all nice and swell, but there’s no comparison to the fun and joy that hell is”.
- "Ok then, hell it is" St. Peter replied.
So once again, they took the elevator and descended to hell. When the gate opened, there was nothing but a vast desert full of trash and stink; his friends were all dressed in rags and doing manual labor while whipped by a bunch of vicious and decaying hags.
His mind went crazy and if he still had a beating heart he’d have suffered a heart attack. Full of agony he turned to St. Peter and asked:
- "What’s going on here, St. Peter? Things were totally different yesterday, what’s with this change today?”
- “Well, son”, replied St. Peter, “yesterday we were still in pre-election campaign mode, today you’re reaping the fruits of the vote you casted!”
in for option 4, Chaos Overlords. Seeing how the purely imaginary number i was already picked, I choose the much more mundane golden ratio (1+sqrt(5))/2.
Congratulations on the 1000 rep and 4 stars!!



2) This Weekend's Promo
I'm interested in Haegemonia Gold Edition
Joke:
A. The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting in a cafe when a waitress approached him: “Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?”

Sartre replied, “Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream”.

Nodding agreement, the waitress walked off to fill the order and Sartre returned to working. A few minutes later, however, the waitress returned and said, “I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?”



4)Anything From the GOG Catalogue

Congratulations

4) 13. To the Moon.
Congrats on the big numbers!

Count me in for the promo part for Syberia 2

"Two Jewish guys are walking when one notices a sign on a Catholic church that says "Convert to Christianity, and we'll give you $100."
The one says to the other, "should we do it??" The other says "NO!! Are you crazy?" The first guy replies "Hey, a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars... I'm gonna do it." So he walks in to the church, and little while later, he walks back out. The friend says "well, did you get the money?" He replies "Oh that's all you people think about, isn't it??""

And if it's ok to join for part 4 too I'll go for nr. 58 for Evil Genius

Thank you for the giveaway!

2) In for Syberia.

[i]How would different scientists react, if they wake up and see a fire in their room?
Well, the Engineer would grab the fire extinguisher and empty it on the burning spot. Problem solved.

The Phsicist would remember from the lectures the laws of the progression of flames and first take a good look at the fire to analyse it. Then he would take the fire extinguisher and extinguish the crucial spots. In the end the fire is extinguished as well, the physicist has a slight smoke poisoning (from taking so long to think) but the extinguisher is only half empty.

The mathematician would notice that there is a fire and that there is a fire extinguisher. Then he would go back to bed, content that a solution exists.[/i]

4) In for Omikron the Nomad Soul with the number 333 (half a beast and the battle at Issos)

Thanks for the bonus round btw. Awesome idea to give tinyE a little boost! :-)

Chronicles of Riddick


Thank you very much Rod, and contrats for your 4th stars! :)
Hehe, the jokes are good!
Don't forget + for tinyE
Hey Rodzaju, congrats. You know, people keep saying here that rep means nothing but threads keep popping up and people make giveaways based on certain rep milestones so it must mean something right? And I'm glad it means something to you :).

Anyways, I'd like to enter for 4) something from the GOG catalogue.

My number is 2010, the year of the Rodzaju heh.
I'd like to try my luck for Driftmoon.

And since it has a bit of value, uprepped the tiny guy for you too but the number stayed the same. [Edit: just doublechecked and the number actually went down 1 if I saw it correctly the first time. Odd.]
Thanks for the giveaway!

Rep is a bit like steam cheevos, completely pointless, but looks good :)
You must have given away a lot to get to 1000. :)

I'll pick the number 1000 since it's a 1000 giveaway, and would choose Sacrifice as the prize.

Thank you.

Well good thing I guess that I don't know what steam cheevos is either. The less I know about such things, the less power they hold over me and I don't get bothered I suppose.

Thanks for trying to explain and again for the truly fantastic giveaway.
Congrats, and thanks for the giveaway! I'll go for option 4 and pick Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams with my lucky #186.
1) My most memorable character was created for Champions Online she was a space elf and her character was a mix of Warhammer 40K, the 1980's animate movie "Heavy Metal" and general sword and sorcery stuff. At first she was a bit of a two dimensional character, but over time she gained a life of her own, at times it felt like the character wrote itself, she had wants, needs a personality so unlike my normal self.

I don't like the notion many players have of making their characters OP'd she had powers but was very much vulnerable, both physically and psychologically, nothing with her was planned, she simply grew and became a better person for it.

I played for 3 years and I only stopped because I'm so sick of the game itself, I hope to one day bring Adriana to some other game, I miss her...
