The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

Im new to the site, and only halfway through the game, but I'm flying around QuasiSpace looking for the Androsynth for shits and giggles.  Do they not exist at all? Do the only come out at the end of the game? Or is it to remain a secret to me?  I like their little bubbler/comet, so it would be nice to add one to my fleet.  ;D

You'll find some answers if you go to the Androsynth homeworld.

Can you stop posting readible spoilers please. thanks kindly

Got it in small font.

How do you make official spoiler tags? I can't find a button for it.

Jumping *peppers*, I already talked to the *silly* Orz.  I was just hoping to get my hands on a Guardian.  The Guardians are not *silly*.

(rot13 encoded, use this (http://www.rot13.com/) to decode)

Valaggar, I already said that. And why is everyone using that stupid thing now? I was hopelessly confused when I first saw it, and I've never heard of "rot13" (and this is very significant because I am the teenager here).

Someone mentioned it in another thread. It's just every character is moved over 13 places in the alphabet, so "a" becomes "n." People are using it because it works on even non-standards compliant browsers or if settings like javascript are disabled.

Yeah, it's time to cut that out. Keep in mind who we are protecting from spoilers. Those are very likely not the lynx users. Having to use an external program to be able to read the spoiler is just too cumbersome. Although I did write a rot13 training program once, so I could learn to read rot13 without a tool. Not too well though; I didn't want to not be able to not read the spoiler. I unlearned it over time though.

Wow, so rot13 is a childish game like L33T and Pig Latin? And I thought I was the youngest one here.

I agree with Meep-eep. Stop using rot13. The point in spoilers is to prevent accidental reading of the text, not to make it difficult to read.

Nah, rot13 is seriously used to hide spoilers on usenet. But decent usenet readers have a built in functionality to decode text (which is the same as encoding).

I have had a sudden realization! Rot13 is clearly for nerds and dorks who have no life whatsoever. You know, maybe I should consider leaving this forum too. Forums kinda suck.

I have left the forum because it's a nerd community. Bye.

LOL

No s**t, Sherlock. I wonder how he figured that one out.  :P

Ten bucks says he'll be back by tomorrow. Friday at the latest.

Nah. What's going to happen is that about one to one and a half week from now, he's going to reregister and make a thread about pretty much like this one (http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/forum/index.php?topic=1575.0).

SO we're not using Rot13 anymore? That's nice. It's a bit too labour intensive for my liking.

X-com God, Guardians are indeed not *silly*. But they aren't *happy campers* either, if you get my drift.

Yeah you are all a bunch of nerds, but that’s fine.

So he’s banned himself before anyone else could do it first. I reckon he’ll be back SATURDAY just to prove EP wrong.

(And so by that logic he’ll actually be back Sunday to prove me wrong)

Thank fucking Christ.

Ok!
     At the risk of being ridiculed, which I REALLY HATE BTW, I feel I must interject:  “Oh come on now guys. Let’s be nice to each other and foster an environment of acceptance and kinship in our little community. We should be spending more energy on expanding our player base, not further refining our highly cultivated cynicism.”

If that’s not enough, here’s a comment by Cedric that’s partially applicable.

Carry on.

Amiga_Nut: Good idea. Although, in our defense, jaychant was rather rude and insulting when he, quite abruptly, left the forum.

Lukipela: Wow, that's hilarious. That was only a month ago too.

Also, this is so off topic it's not even funny.

If jaychant hasn't left a negative impression on you, you probably should be ridiculed. Registering at SCDB has given me a lot more exposure to him, though.

I can tell that you don't like him. What was he like on the SCDB?

I actually missed this sort of Valaggarous entertainment. (Valaggar, please be silly again.)

Well, thanks for all the replies!  Even though only two had to do with the topic.  ;D

Im just a noob to the game (SC2 not SC1) and the forum, and I was crushed by the thoughtless decision of Jaychant to abandon not only the forums, but all of us as well.  It leaves me with an infinate list of questions, like, how could he not think of the children? what will we do now? and, will UQM Forums survive these hard times!?  :'(

After a good cry, a bottle of wine...ok, a couple bottles and a visit to worship the porcelin god, I have come to terms with jaychants departure.  From happy camper to MIA, he will be marginally missed.

He IS the children.

Well you're almost right. Instead of returning to the forum, he has started editing the Ultronomicon (http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Special:Contributions/75.45.212.48), first edit about one week after declaring that the community was too nerdy. <cynicism>Great, now I have do deal him.</cynicism>

For what it's worth, I'm glad that you're still guarding the quality of the Ultronomicon.
