Trenchwars...the backstory...

[Nycle]

I think captainpoopface is not far off. I remember reading something on a website on why the zone was called Trench Wars, but I forgot where. I found this though:

Trench Wars is a fast paced "one shot kill" (for most ships) zone with the main principle being to capture the flag. The ship settings are set to simulate "being in the trenches" during a war.

The map consists of a large "castle" like structure with a flag at the top. Players must navigate past the obstacles in order to reach the base holding the flag located near the top.

Well at least you do make good money... what is it, every test you write gets you up another level and directly makes you more money? And starting is like 100k or something... not too shabby. You do end up selling your soul to the devil (insurance companies) though.

No wonder those stupid people around the world think the American healthcare system is broken, they are indoctrinated into thinking that insurance companies are evil organizations.

Well I don't think the starting pay is quite that much (it's usually around 50-60k), but yeah. Every exam passed does mean a pay raise, and bonuses if you pass on your first try. Plus, the employers pay you to study for the exams. So I don't mind selling them my soul since they're paying me well in return.

You want to be an actuary? Really Panda? I thought about making a snide remark but now I'm just concerned.

Yes This is generally most peoples' reactions when I tell them what I'm studying - they either don't believe me or they tell me I should use my degree in economics instead. I like it though, so whatever.

Well if it makes you happy. It seems too much like Tyler Durden's job to me, and if everyone in your field is nerdy and sucks ass you may need to take that to heart. Why don't you use both your math degree and economics and do forecasting or some other field that's a little less like crunching numbers in a cubicle all day?

Subspace -a non-empty subset w in v where v is a vector space if w is closed to addition and multiplication by scalar.
1) For every w1, w2 in w: w1+w2 is in W
2) For every alpha in R, w+(-w) = vector(0)v

...I need to put my math homework down

Null spaces are fun too. don;t you love linear algebra?

SSCU Galaxy Turbo Wars, good shout methinks.

Least favorite class ever.

[Soup du Jour]

Subspace makes sense because it's a 2D game which is a Subset of the 3D it's trying to represent.

Trench Wars... I'd just go with CaptainPoopface.

On another note, I love how CaptainPoopface almost always has the most well thought out and logical posts on these forums but his name and avatar are so ridiculous.

Here's to you, CPF :wub:

[Da1andonly]

Well 1 girl I know from HS is now an actuary and she's pretty normal too... so I guess it works:P Good luck with it!
