Here's my standard build order for the Russians. If you don't feel like you can pull off a rush simply build your blockhouse near your base. Russia can turtle effectively without the need for walls.

* initial 5 settlers collect crates then 4 gather food
* remaining settler builds house then gathers food
* settlers 6-8 gather food
* settlers 9-11 gather food
* first HC shipment is Distributivism (300 Wood in vanilla)
* shipment arrives - build market and 2nd house
* settlers 12-14 gather food
* settlers 15-17 chop wood
* advance to Colonial Age with The Quartermaster (400 Wood)
* task around 9 settlers on food and 8 on wood
* send one settler ahead to build a forward blockhouse
* reach Colonial Age - collect crates - queue 10 Strelets at blockhouse
* second HC shipment is 5 Cossacks (set to blockhouse)
* build 3rd house and queue another 10 Strelets at blockhouse
* third HC shipment is 4 Cossacks (set to blockhouse)

Don't know if there is or not, but there is a glitch that allows you to bounce almost infinitely so who knows.

Well that blows chunks. Thanks for the info bud. Just nailed a distance of 6,203,492.9 feet a few minutes ago. Still had 4 rounds left in my Golden Gun and was caught by a UFO while cruising through space. Unfortunately I used the Chest Bomb around the 1 million mark. Does the Chest Bomb work againts UFOs?

I'm not really sure Bahamut. I've been out of touch with Newgrounds for a while now. Been spending an exuberant amount of time on facebook talking with friends I haven't seen in years. Even hooked up with a few who live in Vancouver and the surrounding municipalities. One of my buddies also got me addicted to Mafia Wars, one of the many games on facebook. Somebody robbed me 66 times yesterday! The fiend!! >_<

Heh... I've been an avid astronomer since I was 13 years old. If the Moon was "sideways" that would mean the Earth is severely off it's orbit! Here's an optical trick. When the Harvest Moon appears (you know, when the moon looks likes it's freakin' huge) turn your back on it, and bend forward and view it from between your legs. This should clear up the inversion theory.

I'll be grabbing a quarter ounce of BC Bud for $40 after work. My friend always gives me more than what I ask for with a money back guarantee (I've known him for over 30 years). The only drawback is his house is a 45 minute walk and it's been snowing all freakin' day. Meh, not a big deal. I'll smoke a small spliff once I get there in preparation for the walk home.

Hash Browns à la carte

2 cups of hash browns (cubed not shredded)
1/2 cup of frozen shrimp
1/2 cup of frozen snow peas
2 tablespoons of butter
1 pack of chicken noodle Cup-a-Soup

Melt butter in frying pan then add hash browns, shrimp, peas and soup mix. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes and stir frequently. Cover pan and turn off heat. Let sit for 5 minutes.

I usually have this with a couple of eggs but it's good enough to eat on it's own.

Yeah, Blizzard has been getting a lot of complaints from players who use Comcast. They've also had a rash of hacked accounts over the past couple of months. I did a complete system scan with Norton last night before playing. So far all I've gotten is the odd tracking cookie but you can never be too careful. One person I know recently had her account hacked; level 80 decked out in purple gear. When she logged on the next day the character was stripped bare and all her gold was gone. Needless to say she was pretty upset.

What class and race? I created a troll hunter and got him to level 46 in about a month. Hunters level up so easily it's almost ridiculous.

I was cruising the armory for a friend's character and ran across this level 80 protection paladin. Take a minute to check out his health, strength, stamina and armor. I've never seen a character with stats that high before. :-P

Ah got a copy of LK on Friday night and got on 3 hours later, but then an hour queue lol ^^

Sweet! I'm about to start my 2 day break and I'll be heading to the nearest electronics store in the morning to grab the Burning Crusade. I don't have much of a choice. My paladin recently hit level 60 and I've got a ton of completed quests to turn in. I heard if you turn in quests at max level you'll receive gold instead of experience. Meh, gold isn't hard to accumulate in this game. I want the experience!

I'm having a lot of fun epically as a Deathknight.

How difficult are the initial quests?

I don't think I'll be leveling my hunter but more my Druid (54 currently) as I do love healing and Druid's overall. Deathknight (Allied) is a female tauren level 62 :D

I'm so ashamed haloaddict. I slammed hunters before I even played one. This was due to their mass numbers on my server. They were everywhere! I finally broke down and created one and he's already level 42 with a pet scorpid named Spike. I think scorpids are one of the best pets available so far, although I've yet to tame an exotic pet. Scorpids have solid armor for tanking but it's their poison sting that attracted me. Damage over time is great but the ability will stack up to 5 times!! Spike's poison rarely stacks beyond 3 and I've never seen it hit 5. The mob is dead by then. I send Spike in first, once he's stung the target I launch Serpent Sting followed by a barrage of arrows. Mobs of equal level go down quickly.

Thanks Corky but I can't take all the credit. I've had several people watch over my account while I was absent from Newgrounds (we all need a vacation from time to time). My deposit rate would probably be much lower if it wasn't for them.

Even though things do come up and you might miss some every now and then.

The greatest chance of me missing a deposit will usually happen during my two day break. Having too much fun can cause you to forget the deposit deadline. Then again, it doesn't really matter until you sober up.

I think I have enough back up people who will deposit for me so as long as I know it's coming I shouldn't miss any days from now on.

I didn't believe it until I took a second glance but it seems gfox recently missed a deposit. My 400 point buffer is back up to 410. I'll take anything I can get at this stage. :-D

I apologize for the plus 1 post here, but I just had to get the 1,000 post because I had noticed that it was very close at the beginning of the day.
