  1. That's actually a quote from Return of the Jedi, the plans of the Death Star II were supposedly much better guarded until Sidious let the Bothans have the plans. The heavy cost was to make it appear real.
  2. This is a prequel to episode 4. It is regarding the mission to steal the original Death Star plans.
  3. I ain't waiting until tomorrow to at least post about it.
  4. Your ban is quite aged, and I will unban you. The direct reason for your ban from our server is unknown, it is an imported ban from our old server's banlist, hence the no reason. When those bans were imported, it deleted the reasoning. It would not have been during your tenure in the 6th RB, as your banned name was "Crazy Zwerfhond [VL]" As the ban has no reason, and you aren't remembered by any older members, your ban has been lifted. Happy fragging, behave in the server.
  5. Name: Sinister Fusil Steam I.D: STEAM_0:0:105794541 // U:1:211589082 Duration of Ban: Permanent Reasons for the Ban: Wallhack, possible others. Demo Provided?: Y Comments: User's playstyle did not match the scores he was able to pull. Upon inspection, noticed loads of prefires, pre-aims, and general map awareness that didn't match movements or game sense fusil.dem
  6. Overwatch is nearing release. Being developed by Blizzard, it seems to be a crossover between a FPS and a MOBA. Unique characters with differing abilities and pros/cons, fighting for an objective. Overwatch, the good guys, defending Earth interests, while the mysterious Talon fights on the other end. Here, have some trailers!
  7. No compelling evidence has come forward, your ban has been lifted.
  8. The Steam ID you provided is not located in our banlist. If you wish to be unbanned, you must provide your correct Steam ID.
  9. Superdelegates are chosen by a special committee of chairpeople of the Democratic National Committee. Delegates are chosen roughly the same way, people are given the title after a working with/for the DNC. It's all kept within party, as it is a party vote system. A person who has a lot of influence on this currently is someone like Debbie Wasserman, for example. Also as an interesting tidbit, in the Iowa caucus last night some people decided to determine the winner between Hillary and Bernie with coin tosses. But Bernie's happy:
  10. Very little really. What it best shows is a general interest level of the nation. For the Democrats, Iowa has predicted the last 6/8 nominees; while two have gone on to be president, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. Bill Clinton is the only president who has ever lost both Iowa and (the next state to go) New Hampshire and continued on to win the presidency. What's it all mean? Well, the Democrats use a system of 4,047 delegates including 794 "superdelegates". To win the Democratic nomination and have the full support of the party for the presidential election, They need to have the majority of delegates and/or superdelegates support them at the Democratic National Convention. Delegates are given out by a state in order to show support for a particular candidate. For example, in Iowa, Hillary got 22 delegates, so she is the frontrunner. Long way to go for that 4,047! "Superdelegates" are members of the democratic party who hold special titles. Usually governors, senators, congresspeople, the like. They are not committed to any candidate before the DNC, and will vote however they so choose. Some will choose to show support for candidates beforehand though, and that's OK. To be completely clear, normal delegates are actually not committed to candidates either, they just know how their district feels and should support the candidate their district supports. So the shorter version: Candidates receive delegates from district votes within states. Iowa holds roughly 1% of the total delegates that will be given. The candidates seek to win the majority of delegates at the DNC, which will be held later. It's worth saying that the complexity of this is due to the parties which are not technically essential to the election process in the United States. It just falls to us now for having a two party system. It's also worth saying, the Republicans use a similar system, albeit with less delegates and no "superdelegates." Although there is a definite equivalency to pledged and unpledged delegates. Clinton did win the Iowa caucus, don't let yourself be fooled. The demographic in Iowa is the bread and butter of the Sanders' campaign and it's troubling he could not pull a win. Sanders will win New Hampshire for sure, but I question his ability to win the Bible Belt and southern states.
  11. Here in Iowa we had our regular 15 minutes of fame with the Presidential Caucus! If you don't know what that is, it's an event where registered party members vote for their preferred candidate. Only people who have registered as Republican or Democrat get to vote in these, however you can typically register to the party at the event itself. The idea is to narrow the candidate field so your party can rally entirely behind your candidate for president and the actual presidential election. That way, in the general election, you won't have democrats splitting votes between Bernie and Hillary or republicans splitting between 8 different candidates. The democrats and republicans have a different style of caucus, but I won't go into the specifics unless necessary. The results are in: Republican Cruz - 8 delegates - 27.7% Trump - 7 delegates - 24.3% Rubio - 7 delegates - 23.1% Carson - 3 delegates - 9.3% Paul - 1 delegate - 4.5% Bush - 1 delegate - 2.8% Fiorina - 0 delegates - 1.9% Kasich - 0 delegates - 1.9% Huckabee - 0 delegates - 1.8% Christie - 0 delegates - 1.8% Santorum - 0 delegates - 1% Gilmore - 0 delegates - 0% Democrat Hillary - 22 delegates - 49.9% Sanders - 21 delegates - 49.6% O'Malley - 0 delegates - 0.6% Now that each candidate has received (or not) their delegates, the delegates will travel to either party's convention to vote for their candidate. It's all part of the election process in the United States. If you have any questions or want me to explain the process further, please ask. Not all states will caucus, some hold primaries, which are different while still the same. Which isn't meant to be confusing, it's just American politics. Do you think these results are important? How did your candidate fair? Do you think the Iowa vote is important at all considering we only account for 1% of the total delegates? I'm just glad the political phone calls are ended. I was keeping tally, the average was 32 calls per day.
  12. You have 4 bans on record for team killing. Since Wilson only gave you a month ban that expires in literally 2 hours, I'm going to let this one expire. You'll be unbanned at 18:54 CST. However, if you continue on your team killing ways, you will be permanently banned. Final chance. I wonder how much growing up you can do in a month...
  13. Your ban was imported from our old list, it doesn't even have a reason anymore. So welcome back to our server! Please be sure to behave in the server, and remember that you're responsible for anything that goes on your account. Happy fraggin'
  14. Please read Yamagata's post on this on the front portal or through Civilian Announcements. We are working on solving the problem.
  15. If you don't like Putin, why give him a quote he never said? That's a bastardization of the quote from the 2004 film, "Man on Fire." Denzel Washington says, "Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting." That quote has been thrown around so much. First Patton said it, then Stormin' Norman, then Schwarzkopf. I don't know why people are glorifying Putin with that quote, he's a bad man. Sauce:
  16. Looks like you have a bit of record following you. You were banned previously for both team killing and disregard to server rules. However, these bans were from over two years ago. I have lifted your ban. Please keep in mind we ban on account basis no matter who is sitting in the chair. Keep your weapon trained on the enemy and respectful of all players and we'll all be friends. Happy fragging.
  17. Have you met the cast of Squadron 42?
  18. This player has been banned permanently. I have discussed the situation with Yamagata, and your short ban will stay in place as well.
  19. I'd rather you skip to 6:55, when it's the actual match and not warmup. Also, that's a pretty old match; I'm at LEM now. That was like 4 major VAC ban sweeps ago. During Operation Vanguard I think.
