WELL thought through and designed.

Most Canadians call the E.R.T SWAT.  Way easier to say SWAT and frankly, most Canucks recognize SWAT over ERT.

Mind you for me as a kid it was a member of the special weapons task force.  No sense of humour.  As a 13 year old kid I was chased into a 24 hour grocery store by some drunken teenagers.  My BB gun was no match for four drunks and a pickup truck.  Long story short when the manager called the police to declare there were men with guns in the store it really excited the small sleepy yokel police department who were sadly disappointed with two scared 13 year old kids were the gunmen.  It was a CO2 bb pistol but still….no assault rifle.

Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro

@LHoffman:

Now that you mention it… there is a striking resemblence that I have never noticed before.

It’s no coincidence.  Lucas used all kinds of sources for his designs.  If for example you watch the scenes in the movie The Enemy Below in which the crew of the American destroyer have gone to action stations, you’ll note some of them wearing historically accurate oversized helmets that look exactly like the ones worn by some of the Death Star technicians in Star Wars.

Or……ARE YOU THE SAME  :-o

Woot, go CC!

I think it’s more a matter of chosing your industries and your companies right now, not just blindly investing in tech sector like it was in the 90s.  That means people have to work to make their money grow and they are not choosing to do the work.  Thus their money is shrinking and thus they are claiming it’s an aweful bear market!

I know I’ve taken a wash on a few stocks because I screwed up on my homework.  But it was not the market’s fault, it was my fault for believing the wrong set of data.  I’ve also made a killing on some WAG stocks (Wild Assed Guesses).

ah
