That atlas... "well look the image"

An old prospector shuffled into town leading an old tired mule.

The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.

He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance... never really wanted to."

A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.

The old prospector -- not wanting to get a toe blown off -- started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.

The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.

The crowd stopped laughing immediately.



The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's butt?"

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir..... but... I've always wanted to."


There are a few lessons for us all here:

Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.

That the only things I learned in school were:

1. Writing
2. How to do drugs and sell them.
3. How to know when someone's going to commit suicide
4. And who to avoid, to prevent getting an STD.

ACCOMPLISHMENT!!

that you can't use java to build a nuke.

Well... three of them are useful.

That I go to school and learn nothing.

But I went home and found out I may be moving to a better school anyway (:

public schools are more of a joke than anything. a sad joke, really.

Still better than the "no school" that is the only other alternative for most people.

That you can use a spawnpoint to spawn a spawnpoint...

Crazy idea.
If you can do that then you should be able to make a pilot weapon, like a tag, that when you use to snipe enemy pilot you can can spawn on his location when you die. I think if two pilots get into a vehicle at same time then it will explode. Should be fun.

Not pilot spawnpoints, the sort that spawn game objects.
So you can place a spawn on a map with a delay of 10 minutes, have it spawn a spawn point with a lifespan of 5 minutes that say drops a pod 10 seconds after the last one got picked up.
So every 10 minutes into the game pods spawn every 10 secs for 5 minutes.
Its really quite useful for randomising map effects and events.
You could set it up to spawn sniper rifles, only after 30 minutes had passed, then half an hour later change it to bazookas.
Or if the game lasts for 2 hours... spawn zee Uber weapons

Hey bro! We put spawnpoints in your spawn points so you can spawn spawnpoints while you spawn spawnpoints.

Saw that coming.

You can also tap spawns onto buildings.
