hehheh... you know, i was thinking about all them dang floating bases a while back and i was thinkin: why do we never see them crashed or landed or anything. i mean they HAVE to crash once in a while don't they? it's like a rule, if something is going to fly, eventually it'll either be ritired, land or crash. i was thinkin that in Tribes1 instead of haveing broadside and blastside so similar, they should have both bases crashed in one of them. sure it would make navigating hard but that's the whole point! <p></p><i></i>

Excellent work, Bug. Khentor needed to die, but leaving him there in the middle of nowhere, that is a good way to torture someone. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

Hey Bug, just wondering when weget to read the next part?

That is excellent! Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter! Will AB Join the mysterious Mercenaries? Or will he Kill them all with his Chatka? Tune in next time to find out! <p><div align="center"><embed width="250" height="200" src="http://www.theta_mercenaries.homestead.com/files/sphat.swf"></div><p align=center><font color=#ff0000>Why Do I Always Die?!?!?!?!</font></p></p><i></i>

ya know....i'd really like to see some even very primitive artwork of your conception of Bug's Chatka <p></p><i></i>

Heh.

It's kind of a mix between a bo staff, a naginata//poleaxe, and a spear as far as usage goes.

Just some minor grammatical corrections in <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Due Process</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->... they were bugging the crap out of me. <p><BR><img src=http://scribers.midwestmail.com/ambushb ...

Ahhh, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Due Process</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> is wrapping up nicely. I'm going to try and put the finishing touches on it tomorrow evening and get it posted then. <br><br>If I can get into a streak, I'll see what I can do with the next section of <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Desecration</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> as well, though I might get side-tracked and start work on <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Dominoes</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, too. <p></p><i></i>

Ah, damn, it's nice to have <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Due Process</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> completed.<br><br>Now to pub for a bit and then see what I can do with <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Desecration</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> and <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Dominoes</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. <p></p><i></i>
