  1. Going to try out Maltese Falcon (because I love the movie), The Long Goodbye, and the two Ellroy books. Never seen L.A. Confidential but my aunt likes it. Also will probably pick up the Orwell books off Project Gutenberg, thanks! :)

    Nice!


  2. The Stranger

    Reading that now.

    From your first post you seemed to be kinda interested in mystery novels (which is awesome) so here are some awesome mystery novels.

    Anything by Dashiell Hammet:

    The Glass Key

    The Maltese Falcon (made into a great movie in the '60s?)

    Red Harvest

    The Thin Man

    The Continental Op (set of short stories)

    Anything by Raymond Chandler:

    The Long Goodbye (my personal favorite)

    The Big Sleep (also made into a great movie)

    The High Window

    The Little Sister

    Farewell my Lovely

    Some books by James Ellroy:

    The Black Dahlia

    L.A. Confidential (also made into a good movie)

    Also since you like Orwell, try reading:

    Down and Out in Paris and London

    Keep the Aspidistra flying

    Coming up for Air

    All of those are great books by him that not many people have read.


  3. It's not a bad opinion, and I can see why it would be appealing, but it wouldn't work. Believe it or not, there was a time when the server didn't have mic drain. It was added when the server was even less populated now because of mic spam (only around 18 or 19 slots if I remember correctly) but now it just simply wouldn't work if a lot of people didn't have mic drain.

    A lot of people are misconstruing my idea down to its fundamental basis, which is why there's so much negativity and, uh. Disapproval.

    I don't know if people missed this,

    REQUIRING at least some merit of "good behavior" such as for each infraction the number of hours required are increased by an amount, and that you'd also have to make an application of sorts. I don't know.

    While I agree that micspam would be unnecessary, what I'm saying would be that an application for a higher mic time (never said unlimited, actually; I was more implying an additional few seconds since the current mic drain is oh so painful), not unlimited microphone for everyone who automatically breach a certain hour count.

    Applications, good behavior, a privilege. Not a right. That's all I was trying to get at, originally. Due to overwhelming negativity, though, I think we should shut this thread down (unless anyone else has contributions (contributions (keyword: CONTRIBUTION (an opinion is not automatically a contribution)))).

    I do understand what you are trying to say with the good behavior thing, but good behavior according to who? There are some people who constantly break the rules who I like much more than some fuckwit killing for random shooting. Also just because they have good behavior before doesn't mean they won't mic spam.
