I can't believe that no one has mentioned this glorious game. I could go on for ages just typing about it, but that would kill me of starvation.
So instead of blathering about all these little bits about gameplay, interaction,- I will stop psuedo-explaining it too. This is an addictive game that destroys your ability to concentrate on being productive, though you don't really care.
Tell me someone else plays and loves it as much as I.
EDIT: Editted the title to reflect what you have done to my thread, d**n hijackers.
EDIT: Editted the title again.

I'm too poor, I've got a friend who's addicted and so's his wife. It's kind of funny actauly. I love addicting games, so I'd probably be all for WoW...but again I'm too poor.

www.alteredminded.net/saintstudios/Extra/Jest01.JPGTo which when I sent this image to Jest himself, he replied: Jest says: Heh, that's awesome. =P and the advertisemeants will show whatever is relivant to the page. So if it finds alot of "WoW" "World of Warcraft" in the post it'll show something related. Jest says: Your a strange strange little man. Silas: says: Quite. Oh yeah, and I have a $500 credit card. Though I actually was trying to ask the bank lady if I could have a $50 one... it was kind of strange.

And I'll stand by it too. My parents actaly owe me 2000$. I inherited that ammount from my desceased grandmother and they ran out of money so they spent it. I should start charging intrest.

My parents owe me money too.... My mother has been paying me back by paying my rent, but just last winter/spring I lent out $700 to my father because of some tax thing. I can't remember, it's my father; however, I am sure he put more than $700 into me, I think he deserves a bit back.
Look at that, a semi-colon used properly in a sentence, on the internet no less. I think I might be getting a bit ahead of myself but you had all better start bowing now.

My parents tried the whole "But we raised you and clothed you" shpeil but I wouldn't have it. I simply said "Give me my money wench!" well...maybe not that rudely.
I'm the worst of the lot, but Avelon (hurricane Ave) calls himself The Emporer of English. You two ought to have a duel.

My parents didn't really use it as an excuse for anything, I chose myself to appreciate what they did for me (either that or my father was better at affecting my ability to judge situations logically to his advantage than I though. Probably why I never beat him at chess...)
I actually can't claim to be perfect at English, party because I have little respect for grammar, I just use it for clarity as intended. However, I will have erroneous ellipses, brackets, paranthesis and the such. Spelling is usually perfect unless I am tired, combined with I hate latop keyboards (and they hate me back).
Back to the truth though, WoW is awesome.

I actually think I am getting better though. I can beat practically everyone at my age because none of them are "conditioned" to playing it seriously. I can't do this with my father because he actually invokes strategies and looks ahead a move or two, and not just his moves, but my moves and every pieces' moves. I find the easiest way to beat someone is table-talk. Just make a big deal about a piece, while simutaneously making a slightly obvious subtle interest in another one. Use the obvious one as if you are trying to make them think you are an idiot, but then the subtle one as if you are actually just an idiot who is too stupid to notice he is really one. Then when they think they have you by taking the second piece, the third piece jumps out and gets them in check-mate and they ask, "What the hell just happened?"
I can't fully explain what to do, but it's just a big bluff. Make a big deal of the first piece while hinting at the second. Then make a daring move with the second piece where it could be taken but is protected by a pawn or something, but try to get it killed, this makes the next step even better. When/if they kill the second piece, they are expecting to meet the wrath of your pawn, instead, move up the first piece as if the second was really a bluff, this will make them think that either they have been had, or they will be further convinced you are an idiot. Then pop up the third piece into the opened area he caused because of throwing his pieces around to kill you.
If I tried doing that to my father, he would devise a way to kill my pieces without ever putting himself at risk... -_-;;

Yea my dad placed like 30 something in an all state championship thing. i've never plaed him too seriously, but to put it bluntly I don't have a chance.
He use to always say he'd give me five bucks if I ever beat him. I've never made that money though, or even came close.
We should find a site sometime and play Chess, you sound like you'll do better than me. Though now I know your secret! Or maybe that was just you trying to make it seem like you were an idiot and that you had revealed your secret. d**n.

Have I ever played you Ave? I think I did and you beat me. Then you wanted me to get my dad online to play him. Which by the way did you ever play my dad?

That is correct, and no, I didn't. I'd still like to. =P

I have more than one strategy, that is the one I used to beat my foolish co-workers. It's pretty enjoyable. However, I had to learn to beat my brother who isn't a poor player by any means, but I find he is my best practice because he still makes me think though gives me the satisfaction of victory. I don't like online pool. Granted, I have lost a lot of my previous skill at pool because I haven't played in forever, as well the only times I get to play is at bars where their pool cues are as thick as my wrist... I haven't used Yahoo for anything, let alone games. What I did use for Chess was gameknot.com/playonlinechess.htm yet I came across a difficulty. I haven't used it in a couple months so I have completely forgotten my account and login so I don't get to look at my nifty non-existant stats. I use the BlitzChess feature on that, which links you up with a random person from God knows where, gives you both a 10min timer and you both go at it live. Doesn't allow you to pick your opponent that way though. If you use the actual challenge mode, it takes a long time to play a game because it expects people to take their time. I prefer games that are under 15 minutes. I used the retrieve username option and I now I know my awesome name: Canada_Dry. Seriously, best ginger ale ever and twice as good a country, thus making it an ideal name for yours truly to beat random ass with.
