A barbecue for the Australians on Giarabub.

Great to see how it's still moving forwards. Hope a new release can give the playernumbers a little boost as well, and maybe ye olde 762 could freshen up their map list but that's a whole other discussion.

This mod may hold the current record for longest in development without a release of any kind.

Every time you post something about our release date I personally make a note within our development forum to delay the game for a month.

Patience is a virtue.

Plus we still got Duke Nukem's record to beat.

Make a new account?

My father still goes on about "the damn foreigners who ruin our economy and steal our stuff" because that's what they told him long ago.

He is right though.

Hey, you are one of those leeches that he dislikes so much. How does it feel to be part of a nation systematically trying to bankrupt the good nations of Europe?

But he just sprouts some of those things when he gets frustrated. My mother just sighs and shakes her head and then he stops again. In the end I always get his point in a more mild manner, it is hopeless to keep pouring money into a endless hole while he's scraping every penny together to pay the taxes to be able to sustain that stream of Greek gold. Shitty situations breed extremists.

Take it from their perspective, Zoo, they grew up with the notion that all the things they say is fact. Their parents and grandparents fed them that bullshit and they didn't have nothing to make them doubt it. Meanwhile in this modern age all their kids are smarter and more educated, the entire world is moving forward and they are stuck in the past.

Of course they will still pretend their wisdom is sacred, of course they believe it; they don't know better. My father still goes on about "the damn foreigners who ruin our economy and steal our stuff" because that's what they told him long ago. It's hard to break that pattern.

Show and book Stannis are both self-righteous, stubborn, and incapable of any kind of compromises, which proves to be their undoing. Stannis has always been all about using any means necessary to get what is rightfully his, no matter the cost or how others would feel about it. So burninating Shireen is just the logical next step (he already burned his in-law and tried to burn his bastard nephew). Sure, he is not that desperate yet in the books, but who knows what will yet happen... except the people who have a direct line to Gurm?

As long as TWOW is not out, screaming about "character assassination" is pointless. We do not know the particulars of how and why Shireen will be burned in the books, only that she most certainly will because the fat man told so to D&D&D. Now, it may be that Stannis will win the Battle of Ice but will still lose the Battle of Winterfell and in his desperation orders Melly to burn Shireen. For all we know, a raven bearing these very words might have caused the commotion that leads to "For the Watch" in  the books (if the Queen's Men, including ser Patrek, intend to burn Shireen, the wildlings and Wun Wun might rustle their jimmies a bit). Or it may be that Melly will burn Shireen on her own initiative in order to resurrect Stannis whom she thinks to have died as stated in the Pink Letter (absent from the show), whether true or not. But as long as we do not know, let's just wait.

However, pulling a "JR shot at the mirror instead of himself" would be a cheap trick as far as Stannis's fate is concerned.

I think people take the things characters say about Stannis for granted while he has shown himself to be far more compromising and less rigid than thought. He even has a sense of humour. Plus he would never burn his own daughter, not in the books, he sends out Ser Justin Massey with the specific order to make Shireen queen if he falls in the upcoming battle. What Melisandre and Selyse are doing at the Wall with Shireen, that's a whole different story.

This is a very good read about what might happen to Stannis in the next book. Personally I'm also a fan of the theory that Stannis will be Lord Commander nr. 1000. After he has lost all, he goes there. No lands, no glory, no wife, no kids.

Only after we get mountable camels.

Only camels you'll get to mount are the dead ones at Giarabub.

I'm not sure the Camel Corps would be pleased by my hedonistic camel acts at Giaraboob.
