Mostly just ones I find on the beach.
I have one called George. He likes My Little Pony, so I killed him.

Did people actually have a fight in the ME3 thread? And I missed it?
More or less. SOMEONE posted a really big plot twist regarding mass effect 3 (With a video that had a deceptive title, it was called "Official Launch Trailer" but I didn't really noticed it wasn't a trailer till the 30 second mark, and by then significant plot details were revealed)
Naturally this PISSED ME OFF like you have no idea, and (me being me, and thus not knowing when to put my foot in my mouth) unleashed wave after wave of obscenities against the one who posted the spoilers. I don't even need to mention a name, I'm fairly sure you already know who I'm talking about (Who else has already REPEATEDLY shown he has a chip on his shoulder against bioware games?)
I lost my cool, and then something worst happened here. =( its against the rules to talk about it, specially when its being investigated by the proper forum authorities. I've already contacted the necessary people by email, and hopefully a more satisfying solution will be issued soon.
I only hope this wont make Jubilee leave us again. I was (And still am) very happy that she's with us again. (<3 you girl) U_U
Something with spoilers apparently.
I just don't why people would spoil things that haven't been released yet
. They ruin it for everyone, including themselves.
He did it because he hates bioware, and their games, and wanted to "prove to us" how lame ME3 is for its "crappy ending". All he did was prove just how low a person can sink in order to just repeat the statement "I hate X game/game-company"
Rankkor - in case you're still around, just letting you know that the CADIVI is there to prevent the currency going the other way around. That's why the black market rate for the currency is worse for you than the official rate.
/sigh, due to the turmoil last night I wasn't able to give a proper response, but I can now.
what do you mean by "the other way around"? I dunno what your sources are, but take it from a venezuelan who's been trying HARD to get some dollars: You can't exchange Bolivares to Foreign Currency, or Foreign Currency to Bolivares, without CADIVI's blessing.
And said blessing is REALLY hard to obtain.
They regulate EVERYTHING regarding monetary exchange, with an iron grip.
If I really was able to exchange my bolivares to dollars just like that I would had joined SWTOR ages ago, or I would had been able to buy a PS3 from panama, and have it sent here. (And yes, in a bit of irony, its actually cheaper to buy a PS3 on a foreign country, and have it mailed here, than actually buying it here. My cousin opened a Ciber Cafe, and in order to buy the PCs cheaper, he traveled to Peru, bought everythign there, and had it sent here. Despite the expenses of the journey, and of mailing all those PCs here, it was STILL cheaper than just buying it here.
CADIVI is there to put a full blockade regarding money transfers both ways. They regulate the money that comes in, and the money that comes out. Only via black-market or bribery of the proper official channels can you subvert that route.

That's my point. The reason they do that is because if you and every other Venezuelan goes out and exchanges currency, the exchange rate will plummet, and you'll have even less wealth than you do now.

I can understand why they implemented CADIVI (I know what "Capital Flight" means) that doesn't mean I gotta like it.
We souldn't depend on foreign currency to be able to buy stuff without having to burn out a small fortune. I mean really, 5 million bolivares for a frikking xbox 360? that's just crazy man. Crazy. This economy has been royally SCREWED over by several factors, and mark my words, despite CADIVI's intervention, its only gonna get worst. I can predict that within 30 years, if you want to so much as buy a simple cellphone, you're gonna need to ask a bank loan, cuz they will probably cost what a venezuelan makes in 10 years.
We already have to ask for bank loans to buy cars and property (A car can cost up to 200.000.000 Bolivares. How much does a venezuelan makes in a year? at best? 16.000.000 without counting taxes. Include taxes and it will barely reach 12.000.000 in a year. A small house, 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, will cost no less than 500.000.000 bolivares. And that's if its in a run down barrio like the one I live in. In a villa, it will cost at least 1.000.000.000 bolivares)
Now tell me that's not an insane and utterly opressive economy.
For a goverment that went Socialist to suposedly "help" the people, I don't really see much help in what they've done.

there is this guy that goes to the general board, and posts about this online shop, and just does the same for every single topic ashelia makes.
he gets banned, then makes another account and does it all again
I've seen him do it at least 5 times, but acording to adamsm he's done it more than just 5. Worst thing is he keeps getting banned and he keeps making more accounts to spam about his online store.
