This is true.

Muon was quite funny, yes. :D

Not only do they talk funny...but now they're stuck in a fantasy? ::laughs then does a self evaluation:: Darn.

Summer Academy with Chubbs and Rego! Format: MS Word Highlights: *Fred dies again! *Grom dies too! *Ndak trusts the Pandarians to rescue his crew! (hehehe) *Dinner is served.

Format: MS Word Highlights: *Fred is vaporized! *The Pandarians do NOT show up! * Fred tries to eat the ship out of ship and home. * Perhaps some SGVs are nice... *GromVik takes second prize in a beauty contest and collects $10. :D

I believe this is the first to challenge the Pandarians...be afraid...be very afraid.

Nah, don't mourn my death. I was playing CMO last night...death put me out of my misery! ::D:

There are two academy simulations running on Wednesday evenings. One with Dac and A9 at 10 PM EST and the other with Fred and myself at 11 PM EST. :D

Simming is, for the most part, about having fun. But, like Fred said, please don't go overboard. Sticking with the plot is very important...so craziness that distracts or changes the plot should be avoided. :D It's great to hear that you're having fun though!

Great to have you Anika! That's a wonderful attitude you have to simming and I hope to have you in the academies soon! Feel free to browse Moose's and other GM's simming tips for help in surviving the academies! ::D: (if such a thing is possible) If you have any questions at anytime, feel free to PM or E-mail one of the GM Council or a STSF GM. We're here to help! See you soon!

I think everyone gives the Pandarians a bad rep...I mean...we're talking about peaceful herbivores who love to bask in the midday sun!

Why thank you Fred...wait...you're not talking about me! :) :D

Mutiny? We could just lock him in the bathroom... :D

America, there's still no place like home. May God continue to provide us with many more years of greatness. Below are the words to a few of America's greatest songs of patriotism. The Star Spangled Banner Francis Scott Key Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! America the Beautiful Words by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for halcyon skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the enameled plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music-hearted sea! O beautiful for pilgrims feet, Whose stem impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought By pilgrim foot and knee! O beautiful for glory-tale Of liberating strife When once and twice, for man's avail Men lavished precious life! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain The banner of the free! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till nobler men keep once again Thy whiter jubilee! God Bless America Irving Berlin, 1918; revised 1938 Intro (spoken): While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. |: God bless America, land that I love Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above From the mountains To the prairies, To the ocean white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home. :| Happy Independance Day America! :P

Officer> Although we're not sure how coconuts migrated all the way out to the Hoover dam, the point is moot.

Very wise Loami...very wise. :D

I'm sorry, I had that opposite...the Reagan motto is "Peace through Strength" and the Aegis motto is "Strength through Peace." :D

You gathered that eh? ::D:

It's up to the GMs involved whether or not to make the link public.

Enjoy!

Welcome aboard! We look forward in seeing you in the academies in the near future!

The small GM staff works their butts off to host eight academies already. Like Ziggy said, many have to work or need to take time off from simming on the weekends. Others are active on Sky Harbor Aegis. Perhaps sometime in the future you will see a Friday academy.
