Aber bevor das ganze hier ins Lächerliche gerät möchte ich doch lieber den Ernst der Sache in den Vordergrund stellen und damit beginnen indem ich die Frage stelle, ob die Bunker früher oder später der Untergang von EL sein werden?

Leider muss man diese Frage wohl mehr oder weniger mit JA beantworten, denn das aus vielen Gründen eh schon ziemlich eingeschlafene Spiel wendet sich immer mit der Inaktivität zu. Wie viele Leute spielen dieses Spiel "nur" noch aus Gründen der Kontakte und der Angst diese bei Löschung aus den Augen zu verlieren. Wenn man schon "ingame" nicht mehr wirklich viel Spaß im eigentlichen Spiel haben kann, dann doch immerhin mit dem Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis den man sich in all der Zeit aufgebaut hat.

Dem gegenüber stehen die jungen, frischen Spieler die noch nicht lange dabei sind und die von bestehenden Bunkern wenn überhaupt nur aus dem Forum oder vom Hörensagen wissen.  Viele dieser Spieler stammen aus Uni 3... Meiner Meinung nach sollten sich viele von den Uni 1/Uni 2 Spielern noch ein Scheibchen von diversen Uni 3`lern abschneiden, denn diese leben uns jeden Tag vor wie schön das Spiel einmal war und eigentlich auch wieder sein könnte.

An dieser Stelle möchte ich aber ein weiteres mal unterstreichen, dass die Bunker nicht allein an dem offensichtlichen und immer weiter fortschreitenden Verfall von EL schuld sind. Die einzelnen Gründe die dazu führen möchte ich an dieser Stelle nicht weiter vertiefen, denn es geht hier im speziellen um die Problematik der Bunker. Diese geben der Community ein Alibi, indem sie den "Savemüden" Spielern die Möglichkeit geben nicht selbst saven zu müssen. Dieses Alibi nimmt dem teilweise ohnehin schon eingeschlafenen Durchschnitts-EL-Spieler zusätzlichen Wind aus den Segeln, sodass am Ende meistens nur noch ein reiner Sim City Spieler übrig bleibt.

Wenn jetzt sogar schon die Piraten (erneut) anfangen zu bunkern, was soll denn dann auf lange Sicht von diesem Spiel noch übrig bleiben? Wenn dieses nennen wir es in Mode gekommene "Phänomen" weiter um sich greift, könnten am Ende auch noch Uni 2 und Uni 3 von diesem Virus befallen werden. Meine Absicht ist es nicht irgendwelche Dinge schwarz zu malen, sonderlich lediglich der Wahrheit ins Auge zu sehen.

Dinge die das bunkern von Flotte nach und nach unattraktiver machen könnten, sind elementare Dinge die dem Spiel insgesamt wieder mehr Schwung geben könnten, nein ganz sicher würden... Hier mal einige wenige aber eben extrem wichtige Dinge die uns allen wieder den Spaß zurückbringen könnten, welcher dieses Spiel so ausgemacht hat.

- Kriege müssen wieder attraktiver und vor allem fairer gestaltet werden, u.a. über die alte 2 Slot Variante.

- das gesamte BND System muss überarbeitet werden, damit dem mittlerweile Gang und Gebe gewordenen BND Betrug endlich mal Einhalt geboten wird.

- das Auftragssystem muss überarbeitet werden, denn die meisten der Aufträge lohnen sich wenn dann NUR für kleinere Spieler.

- das Bunkern von einer gewissen Menge an Att ist gar nicht mehr möglich oder wenn nur unter extrem erhärteten/erschwerten Bedingungen (z.B. indem der Ressbedarf um ein vielfaches höher ist etc).

Desweiteren gibt es noch so einige Dinge die zusammengenommen EL erneut zum besten Browsergame in Deutschland machen könnten, wenn, ja wenn all diese Dinge so oder s.ä. umgesetzt werden würden. Leider gibt es eine Menge Sachen die hier ein wenig "verkommen" sind, das fängt schon bei den Schiffen an. Einige der Schiffe haben überhaupt keinen Wert und dienen einzig und allein zur Verschrottung und zur Verschwendung von Ressourcen. Leider wurde somit schon von Anfang an ein wenig verpasst, EL eine unverwechselbare Einzigartigkeit zu geben. Da allein diese Tatsache schon von so vielen Leuten bemängelt wurde und sich bis heute in der Richtung nichts getan hat, sollten wir objektiv gesehen leider gar nicht erst damit rechnen, dass sich auch nur ein Hauch an dem ändert was viele unter uns so beschäftigt und was wir gerne anders sehen würden.

Daher werde ich abschließend nur noch einmal kurz auf die Bunker Problematik zurückkommen, indem ich sage, dass es weder cool ist auf einem Bunker zu stehen, noch dass es dem Spiel in seiner Aktivität dient. A M E N

In World War Two the Nazis took to building massively re-inforced 'Flakturm' vertical bunkers in the sky as anti-aircraft citadals to protect their premier cities. With walls feet thick it would have taken a series of direct hits to dent them. Wien got four of them. They are imposing brutalist sheer concrete cliffs with balconied walkways close to the summit for anti-aircraft batteries.

Now an imaginative reversal has turned one of them into a zoo and aquarium - complete with hanging jungle gardens with monkeys roaming around. It's a private enterprise and not perfectly achieved but nevertheless it's still a feat to have sharks and huge turtles swimming around massive tanks encased in a bunker in the sky.

if it had been a school trip I would have said that my favourite creatures were:

- the seahorses- because of their heartstopping delicacy and transparency in the way they do everything - the way they breathe, the way they move, the way they eat, even the way they excrete. And because they pairbond for life. They meet first thing in the morning to reinforce their pair bonding with an elaborate courtship display. The female meets the male in his territory and as they approach each other they change colour. The male circles around the female the pair often spiral around an object. This display can last for up to an hour. Once over, the female goes back to her territory

- the red ants - because they were escaping from one of the plastic tubes that ran around one of the galleries to exhibit their complicated, intricate world. That's the way it starts with the ants escaping...

- the turtles - because they are stoic little dinosaurs that still exist

- and the jellyfish - because they look like an animation

La Berliner Unterwelten e.V., una sociedad para la investigación y documentación de instalaciones subterráneas, organiza varios itinerarios diferentes desde su sede, tras una puerta verde que pasa desapercibida en la estación de metro de Gesundbrunnen:

Tour 1 -Mundos subterráneos:

Tour 2 - De "Torre de protección" a "Montaña de escombros":

Tour 3 - Metro, Bunker y Guerra Fría:

Tour 4 – Monumento Técnico Rohrpost: El correo neumático:

Tour E – Humboldthain al extremo:

Tour H – Reichsluftschutzschule y Hochbunker Heckeshorn: El Bunker "elevado", en los terrenos de la "Escuela de Protección antiaérea del Reich" (Reichsluftschutzschule) en Wannsee, fue construido entre 1938 y 1939, y reactivado en los años 80 como hospital de emergencias a prueba de radiación, ante una situación de "peligro" a cuenta de la Guerra Fría.

Tour M – El Muro: Las fugas subterráneas entre Berlín Oriental y Occidental.

Algunos de estos itinerarios se realizan con equipos de protección que te proporciona la propia asociación, y se recomienda calzado cómodo, ropa de abrigo contra la humedad y cuidadito con los resbalones.

Más que recomendable. Por desgracia no es posible filmar ni sacar fotografías.

I'm excited for 2 reasons;

1. I've heard from Sqn Ldr Toon who said he'd be delighted for me to host the Truleigh Hill History pages on my site
2. I'm off to a Secret Nuclear Bunker early tomorrow.

Anyway, must crack on with the Truleigh Hill stuff.... It's taking a while to copy everything across.

ein teenie-horrorfilm. kein schlechter, aber auch nichts weltbewegendes.
4 jugendliche verstecken sich ein paar tage in einem bunker. daraus werden ein paar mehr, weil die psychotussi in den einen typen verknallt ist und alle gefangen hält. das kommt aber erst später im film heraus, denn sie ist die einzige überlebende und erspinnt eine geschichte, die ihren besten freund, als schuldigen darstellt, was ihr dann auch alle glauben. - und keira hält kurz ihre titten in die kamera.

Heute hatten wir zudem unser erstes Meeting mit Prof. Thierry Badard und seinem Assistenten Etienne Dubé. Sie haben uns kurz erklärt was alles so auf uns zukommen wird. Danach hat uns Etienne auch schon mal die neuste Version von GeoKettle ausgehändigt, damit wir uns in die Materie einarbeiten können.

Heute habe ich auch das erste mal die Zeitverschiebung bemerkt. Wenn ich am Arbeiten bin kann ich doch (leider) nicht einfach schnell in Skype nachschauen, ob denn wohl die Leute die ich gern hab auch gerade online sind. Am Wochenende ging das noch super und ich konnte gemütlich plaudern und zuhören. Man muss sich wohl arrangieren...das wird jedoch sicher klappen, da bin ich mir sicher.

In Batman Begins la batcaverna è una vera e propria caverna che giace al di sotto del castello Wayne, ai confini della città. Come sapete, la residenza di Bruce Wayne viene rasa al suolo da Ra's Al Ghul nel principio dell'attuazione del suo piano di distruzione di Gotham City e, alla fine del film, Alfred suggerisce a Bruce che questa è una buona occasione per "consolidare le fondamenta". In "The Dark Knight", Bruce Wayne custodisce la Batmobile, il costume e le altre attrezzature hi-tech che supportano la sua attività anti-crimine in un bunker che però, nel film, viene contestualizzato poco chiaramente:quando Alfred ci si reca, subito dopo la scena dello scontro che porta alla cattura dello Spaventapasseri, qualcosa si intravede; Alfred entra in un container che porta poi al bunker attraverso una piattaforma-ascensore e il container, come indicano anche i versi dei gabbiani che si sentono in sottofondo, sembra trovarsi in una zona portuale.
Secondo voi, questo bunker è la nuova batcaverna oppure è un deposito utilizzato da Bruce temporaneamente, nell'attesa che siano terminati i lavori di ricostruzione della villa di famiglia? E se è così, nel sequel vedremo una batcaverna ipertecnologica , piena di piattaforme sospese rotanti e batsegnali luminosi come in molti fumetti e nei film di Joel Schumacher (vedi immagine sotto)?

Fateci sapere la vostra!

GM Top 25 Coach John Jacobs explains how to play one of the hardest shots in the book

Stay tuned animals.

What shows are you in particularly looking forward to hearing again??

Nonetheless, the kooks don’t see that.  It’s all about disparaging women who wander out of the Democrat ideological kitchen.  Just ask Hillary Clinton what happens when you get in the way of men running the Democrat Party.  They get vilified in the press, mauled, disparaged, and destroyed.

You might want to ask Condoleezza Rice what happens to black women when they move up the ranks of the Republican power structure.  If my memory serves me correct, I’ve seen at least one cartoon that portrayed this woman with a PhD as a modern-day Aunt Jemima.  Not so surprisingly, rumors circulated amongst the nut-job Democrat base that she was secretly having an affair with the President of the United States.

Another person you might want to talk to is Clarence Thomas when it comes to what happens to black men when they don’t have their “mind right.”  Alberto Gonzales might have a few things to say as well.

So when it comes to women and minorities, Democrats talk about elevating them.  Their actions, however, speak volumes as to how high these groups are allowed to go.  When it’s minorities, the message is “you’re out of the fields, so quit complaining.”  With women the message is, “it’s nice you got a job, now go get me a beer from the fridge, woman.”

So, the attacks on Palin are neither new, nor surprising.  But they’re still disgusting.  And the major media going all in to take Sarah Palin down.

They’ve gone so far as to dredge up the DUI arrest of Sarah’s husband, something that occurred twenty-some years ago when he was twenty-two.  Twenty-two is the age that most college kids are hitting beer-bongs, cruising for hookers, taking Ecstasy, and flashing their boobs for Girls Gone Wild.  To be honest, I’d LOVE to investigate the college life of some of these reporters, and the slime farmers of the DNC just see what wonderful things THEY did during that age.  We know for a fact that Barak Hussein Obama was doing cocaine, but he apologized for that, so it makes it “Ok”.

Not much hay in the media about that.

Let’s not forget Joe Biden’s plagiarism when he was in college.  Ho hum.  Has anyone been seeing that in the news lately?

But enough of Todd Palin, let’s see how the de-facto feminist organization – the National Organization for Women - supports a professional career woman:

Not Every Woman Supports Women's Rights

Sen. John McCain's choice of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate is a cynical effort to appeal to disappointed Hillary Clinton voters and get them to vote, ultimately, against their own self-interest.

Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women's rights, just like John McCain.

The fact that Palin is a mother of five who has a 4-month-old baby, a woman who is juggling work and family responsibilities, will speak to many women. But will Palin speak FOR women? Based on her record and her stated positions, the answer is clearly No.

In a gubernatorial debate, Palin stated emphatically that her opposition to abortion was so great, so total, that even if her teenage daughter was impregnated by a rapist, she would "choose life" -- meaning apparently that she would not permit her daughter to have an abortion.

Palin also had to withdraw her appointment of a top public safety commissioner who had been reprimanded for sexual harassment, although Palin had been warned about his background through letters by the sexual harassment complainant.

What McCain does not understand is that women supported Hillary Clinton not just because she was a woman, but because she was a champion on their issues. They will surely not find Sarah Palin to be an advocate for women.

Sen. Joe Biden is the VP candidate who appeals to women, with his authorship and championing of landmark domestic violence legislation, support for pay equity, and advocacy for women around the world.

Finally, as the chair of NOW's Political Action Committee, I am frequently asked whether NOW supports women candidates just because they are women. This gives me an opportunity to once again answer that question with an emphatic 'No.' We recognize the importance of having women's rights supporters at every level but, like Sarah Palin, not every woman supports women's rights.

So, of you’re a career woman but don’t have your “mind-right” NOW isn’t going to be there for you.

I hope this doesn’t surprise anyone.

You want to know the part of that statement that should insult everyone’s intelligence?  To me, it’s this one:

The fact that Palin is a mother of five who has a 4-month-old baby, a woman who is juggling work and family responsibilities, will speak to many women. But will Palin speak FOR women? Based on her record and her stated positions, the answer is clearly No.

Yes.  Actually living the life NOW prescribes for advancing the “sisterhood” in society isn’t what NOW wants.  Palin has to pay lip-service to whatever dingbat liberal drivel to which the man-haters of NOW decide that women MUST subscribe.

But what’s even funnier is this:

Sen. Joe Biden is the VP candidate who appeals to women, with his authorship and championing of landmark domestic violence legislation, support for pay equity, and advocacy for women around the world.

Yes, I can see where a spineless, mealy-mouthed Democrat metrosexual has more in common with the people of NOW than most working women.

I’ve also heard the term “trailer trash” associated with Sarah Palin, just recently in fact.  From a couple of local Democrat spokesmen no less.  Does anyone remember when that same label was used?

That’s right: Bill Clinton.

Yes, Bill Clinton was the last time NOW and liberals went out of their way to disparage other women – some of whom were sexually harassed – and berate them as trailer trash.  Remember Carville’s comment about waving a one-hundred dollar bill in a trailer park?  And the feminists excusing Bill Clinton’s compulsion to bang any available female within arm’s reach?

Remember Paula Jones?  Well, when she decided to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton here’s how NOW backed-up one of the oppressed and demeaned “sisterhood”:

NOW won't support Paula Jones

WASHINGTON - Declaring its national board and local chapters overwhelmingly against it, the National Organization for Women said Wednesday it will not file legal papers on behalf of Paula Jones in her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton.

NOW President Patricia Ireland told a news conference the women's group believes such a "highly charged political" lawsuit should not be used as a test case for stopping sexual harassment in the workplace.

Ireland also said her group "decided not to work with the disreputable right-wing organizations and individuals advancing her cause, who themselves have a long-standing political interest in undermining our movement to strengthen women's rights and weakening the laws that protect those rights."

NOW did not poll its membership, Ireland said, but it was clear from contacts with about 500 chapters around the country that the local groups opposed filing a friend-of-the-court brief, by margins of at least 8-to-1 and possibly 10-to-1.

"Hard cases make bad law," Ireland said. The conservative Rutherford Institute, which is financing legal expenses for Jones, and her spokeswoman Susan Carpenter McMillan "are using this case to advance their own political agendas," she said.

Decrying the political positions of the institute, Carpenter McMillan and other "women's rights opponents," Ireland said: "Paula Jones has surrounded herself with a phalanx of politically motivated lawyers."

So when NOW makes the following statement:

Palin also had to withdraw her appointment of a top public safety commissioner who had been reprimanded for sexual harassment, although Palin had been warned about his background through letters by the sexual harassment complainant.

People with any sense of justice should be laughing until they hyperventilate – the people at NOW have NO credibility whatsoever.  Why anyone listens to these dingbats is beyond me.  Paula Jones needed their help to fight someone who amounted to a serial harasser, and they told her to go pound sand.

The comment, "Hard cases make bad law," should be quite indicative of how the "lioness pride" of NOW has become more like a pack of hovering vultures.  Instead of making the effort to take down your dinner, they'd rather circle around and pick the bones of what's left behind.  Behavior they've obviously learned from the close ties with the Democrat party.

Not that I use the word “dingbat” lightly.  Remember the sitcom All in the Family?  Remember what Archie Bunker used to call his wife?  Well, the man-haters at NOW are a perfect match for Edith Bunker.  The Democrat Archie Bunkers call out “dingbat”, and the NOW Edith Bunkers come dutifully running.

NOW PAC Chair Kim Gandy will undoubtedly be running to the fridge to get Barak Obama’s beer should he ascend to the oval office.  It’s a fitting job for her.  She doesn’t have to think, and does what she’s told.   Kinda like what Patricia Ireland did with Bill Clinton.  Given Clinton’s libido, one does wonder what other services she provided for her political “sugar daddy”.

The upside to all this is that Todd Palin – Sarah’s husband – is a man’s man.  Union worker, hunter, fisherman, and snowmobile racer.  They’ve got to interview him at one point or another.

I want to see the bloody pulps he leaves behind.  If he chooses to practice restraint, then I can honestly say he is a better man than I.

Palin is already a better woman than Patricia Ireland or Kim Gandy...by a factor of ten.

Zuallererst einmal, wovon rede ich überhaupt?
Ich beziehe mich hier auf die Registrierte Artillerie der Defensivdoktrin, die dem Spieler schon nach 3CP zur Verfügung steht, nur 125 Munition kostet und extrem stark ist. Leider lässt sich diese Ari aber nur auf eigene und verbündete Sektorenpunkte und Gebäude setzen. Der Einsatz ist also auf bestimmte Gebiete begrenzt, was sich vor allem auf Karten mit großen Sektoren bemerkbar macht. Hier kommt der Gegner oftmals nicht einmal in die Nähe eines Sektorenpunkts oder eines Gebäudes.

Das lässt sich aber mit einem relativ einfachen Trick umgehen, zumindest sofern ihr einen Pionier an der Front und mindestens 150MP auf dem Konto habt.
Gebt einfach einen Bauauftrag für einen Bunker, und zwar dorthin wo ihr die Ari haben wollt.

Was nun folgt ist einfach. Setzt die Registrierte Artillerie auf den unfertigen Bunker...
...und ergötzt euch an den aufsteigenden grünen Zahlen.
Wenn der Bunker nach dem Artillerieschlag noch steht, reißt ihn ab und ihr erhaltet eure 150MP zurück. Ob ihr den Bunker sofort nach dem Setzen der Ari, oder nach dem Rückzug des Gegners entfernt oder ihn durch feindlichen Beschuss verliert macht keinen Unterschied, die Manpower bekommt ihr zurück.
