What? I'm guessing wrong thread maybe?

[Marvin]

My thought exactly. I just couldn't find the correct square hole for that square peg.

[Maarschalk]

LOL.

No tank on their backs yet. Way to young
for that but I plan to take a scuba
certificate with my sonswhen they're old
enough. My wife alteady has one.

Today I tought them to dive down to
3 meters and pick up stuff I put there.
Great fun.

I got my Scuba certificate in Israel. One of the nicest places to scuba dive is the Red Sea!. Although, I do not need scuba gear to pick up things at 27 meters (90 feet) depth. A trick I thought myself after I got my Scuba Certificate!......Many tried to follow me and failed and where wondering how does he do that? Kind of trying to land on earth!.....:P

Soooo, Moby Dick, have you seen Captain Ahab lately?

Nope, he might be long gone and his ship with him!.....:P

Was on a all day cruise around Milos today.

Many stops with swimming and diving.
Did a dive through a cave tunnel into a
huge cave where part of the roof was gone,
so it was more like a nice lagoon.

The swim was 100m one way. My youngest
refused to take the small boat and dived with
me all the way. He almost drank the whole
ocean but he made ut back and forth with
a little assistance from me. A great day ;-)

Quality time SeeJay

You are a OUTSTANDING FATHER MY FRIEND and I MEAN THAT.

You're Giving the Boys ADVENTURE after ADVENTURE In Life.

I, a Father as Well, Salute You.

[Cindy]

Sounds like fun SeeJay!

Was invited by a local fisherman to make
a small fishingtrip and s stop at a small
beach that can only be reached by boat.

We dived and picked up those black spikey
things and we're about to eat our catch
within an hour.

Very nice day! ;-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_urchin ... never ate 'em but have pulled their spines from many locations, head to foot. They taste like what?

[SeeJay]

We ate them raw and it was salty.
No weird taste at all. Reminds me of
oysters a bit. I loved it.

[Maarschalk]

Yes, had many run ins with those black urchins. never ate them either!.....did not like to eat anything raw as a kid and was a very picky eater as a kid!.....:P

[SeeJay]

Arrived to Sifnos this afternoon.
No place booked for sleeping so we
went to the "back side" of the island
to a small village called Faros.

It's a pearl. So calm and quiet that you
can actually hear my fart rolling down
the mountain hillsides. (sorry for my bad language).

The diving is excellent and my sons can run
around on their own fishing crabs.

Love it. Will post images when I'm back home.

Hey Seejay, long time no see!!! I am glad you are at my country and you like it!! Seems like you are having quality family time!! Wish you could travel more south and visit me also, it would be nice!!

[god-demis]

Nice one SeeJay

I am off to Crete on the 6th of July;) 2 weeks in the sun

Hey Mike, where exactly are you going on Crete? I am working on Crete, I am located at Rethymno town in a hotel called Rethymnp Palace. I would love to meet you and have a drink with you if it will be possible!!

[mikeuk]

Hi god-demis

I would have been staying in koutouloufari its near hersonissos but unfortunately my Dad took ill so had to cancel the holiday, we have put it back to the first 2 weeks in September so hopefully will make it then.

It would have been nice to have a drink with you but Rethymno town is the other end of the island we have always wanted to go there so could see you in future holidays.

[SeeJay]

Tried to build 1 (ONE) station in Atlas on server CAV. No station to be seen in the center of the system.

This is the first time I tried to build in about 6 months.
System full! (As that would be a surprise!?) Not possible to build.

So I'm NOT surprised that new pilots leave as soon as they enter the MP arena.

I, and many with me, know that hiding stations is a way of making it easy to regain Control if
you want to, but how fun is this????

The system for clan Control has to change. There is no room for new players in MP with the way it's working now.
Even if I'm a vet and know how the system works, it's very boring. I wonder why I'm not online much anymore!?!?!

I was thinking of getting back in to the action and conquer the universe ... but no, it's not Worth the effort!

SeeJay out.

I raised the same issue about Atlas and other 'salted Earth' systems on CAV a few months ago. Capt said he'd do something about it, but I guess he never got the time. I usually go to the Olympus Prime [FR] server if I want to do any real trading. It's not glicthed with over-building (63 out of 50 possible stations - Atlas CAV), so there's at least a chance for noobs to gain a foothold in the higher economy systems.

[Marvin]

I guess Vice needs to invent a new piece of very expensive contraband equipment: a Station Locator.

[INKED MICHAEL]

Let's Face It. Unless ALL CLANS AGREE to a "RULES OF ENGAGEMENT" Proposal the ONLY WAY to Keep you STATIONS SAFE is To HIDE THEM.

[Rubber Chicken]

And when clans go defunct like in the case of Atlas and Cerulean then it ruins it for new players who might want to make the most of those systems.

[SeeJay]

I have raised this topic before and won't go deep
this time. One solution is to remove stations effect
for system control.

The time required to locate, destroy and rebuild stations
is massive and very boring. I want to have fun playing games.
I do boring stuff all day at work. I don't need that in a game LOL.

[Cindy]

A clan only needs a max of 15 tagged stations to hold percentage up. I've done it. I've proven it. If 1 pilot can keep percentages up with only 15 stations, then why can't clans do the same? Just my point of view. BTW... Atlas and Cerulean are cleaned up now thanks to Captain Cronic. I've also hired some pilots to clean out the rest of the Evoverse from excess station clutter from inactive clans. You are free to take control SeeJay!
