This may be the last message I will leave if I'm lucky, I may be able to drop a message in the forums every once in a while.I think its time for me to move on in life, and computer games just isn't a part of me that will be carrying on. I originally planned to do this later (when I started IB in grade 10, which isn't for another couple months), but it's just too much of a hassle (and pain in the ass) to handle. The pain in the ass part isn't the time I use playing the games: as most of you know, I'm able to juggle activities, sports, music, volunteering, CGs and school without any one area suffering too much (except CGs). I'm a top student at my school, and am eligible to enter the top academic school in the province.For a long time, my parents have been against this kind of game. I've argued about it, and they've let me play without too much scolding about it. However, whenever something bad happens (lets say, oooh, an 86% on a test, or when I make a bunch of stupid mistakes; I'm prone to forgetfulness), the first thing that they always blame it on is video games. Kinda annoying, isn't it?However, in the past weeks, the complaining from my parents about this is just unbearable to stand, and I'm not the aggressive type, or the type to talk back to my elders (much less, anyone). As a result, I wish to revoke/abstain my position within this current gaming community. Please pardon me, but this message will be copied/pasted on the other gaming communities I am part of.It has truly been an honor and joy to spend so many hours gaming with you guys. Too bad that it's going to end this way. I probably may not see any of you again, so I am bidding my farewell. Hopefully, I may be able to catch up with some of you some day. Just look for my tag (probably MERC_Fireball). Please don't beat me too badly for this! ;-)Regards,Fireball(April 17, 2003)

Srry Ky, but I didnt have the time to go through all 10 pages :PAll i know is with a mirror, you are seeing an image of you in the past without having to record anything*No idea how that has anything to do with this topic :roll: *

This is not possible.First of all, according to the laws of physics, there is no way we could ever go faster than light. Secondly, even if we could, the process of seeing would not be able to happen as we know it. We only see things because light from a light source (be it the sun or a lamp) hits an object and bounces off it back towards our eyes. When these photons of light hit our eyes and we register them we say we have seen the object. The laws of relativity state that light will always travel at the same speed in any reference frame. So any objects in your reference frame (that means nay objects moving at the same speed as you- for example the space craft you are in) will bounce light back towards your eyes like normal, so long as the light producing object is also in your reference frame, and you will see them as you would here on Earth. However, light coming from any other reference frame will only be moving at the speed of light, and as you are moving more quickly than this, it will never catch you up. So you will never be able to see anything which is not also travelling faster than light. This is not quite right either as the fact that light travels at a set speed is closely linked to the idea that nothing can travel faster than light. So, if we start introducing the idea that we can go faster than light, we could equally introduce a theory which could alter the speed of light. However, according to the physics of today, neither of these things are possible.

Wheeee!Thanks Gator!Muchos Gracias! (Lol...im a canadian, not a...mexican? no pun intended)looks like i can have those really smart convos with Gator again Fire

Just for the sake of time, I'm just going to cut+paste my comment for CD 2.5 If any of you have been wondering why I havent been able to play, I hope this is reason enough.Sorry guys, but with CD, my game is next-to-unplayable until I get a new CPU or GFX card (running Nvida TNT2 Rage Pro)Fireball

Hello,Yesterday (the 10th), someone (I forgot) who I think may be in TA entered the server and publicly announced that those who are interested in "TA Citizenship" should post their interest within the forums.So, here I am, expressing that interest.I don't know what pertinent information may be required ATM, but I would be more than glad to provide it upon request.Thanks in advance,Fireball (MERC_Fireball)
