"I got the impression that they had started reclaiming yellow zones, such as Germany, but it was going to take decades to complete."
Likely, but I still think that they should have focused on the Red Zones. After all, they're the bigger threat. If you focus tech on working in a Red Zone, it will definitely work in a Yellow. However, what if they focused tech on Yellow Zones and found that it didn't cut it in a Red Zone? Lose.
"going by the brand new england red zone."
England's a Red Zone now? Cool. *looks outside*
"Gas masks would prevent inhaling the toxic gas and tiny pieces of tiberium, although a full-body composite hazmat suit would of course be better."
Yeah, but you'd have to take both off to eat and drink and everything, so what's the point?
"Second paragraph comes from the Scrin campaign and intel database."
Right, right, PC version came with intel stuff. I have the Xbox for both TW and KW.
"GDI did do well with the Tacitus, aside from the part where they nearly blew both it and Chennyne Mountain up by knowingly performing risky experiments."
Just go through the Stargate, people! Go through the Stargate!
"Going by the stuff released about Tiberium Twilight, blowing it up would possibly have doomed humanity."
Well, duh? If it was created by good Scrin warning Earth about bad Scrin...
"In the ending where it is used, it takes out nearly everything in europe via tiberium chain reaction."
Awesome. I heard about that vaguely, that Michael Ironside resigns because you're a war criminal.
One epic fail on the part of EA is that the mutants vanished. What? There was no explanation and they were a major part of everything. Especially since, you know, they were the only ones to have any success cracking the Tacitus rapidly. But no, they suddenly live in random hovels in cruddy places.

I have a cat. She's quite beautiful, with a black coat and white paws, and intelligent enough to know that being held and surrounded by people offering treats means she's about to be force-fed worm paste, and enough to know when I'm about to head for the study chair (because my morning routine is always the same), and bolt towards the room fast enough to curl up before I get there.
ERROR! ERROR! Not Sueish. REBOOT.

When I was a boy, I had a rabbit named Carrot-Muncher. He was a dark gray minilop, and had imprinted on people, so he was very sociable and very forgiving. He ate the stems of the carrots, not the roots (Pretty convenient Jack and Mrs. Spratt division, no?) He took ill and died two months short of his fourth birthday, alas.

I was thinking of having a game. You first choose a real world animal companion, then you have to CAF it as a sue would. to think both logically, and sueologically.

Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it for much here.

I'm much more of a winter weather person. I couldn't live anywhere where they don't get snow. We get a grand total of maybe 6 inches a year when we're lucky, and that's nowhere near enough for me.

And that seems much handier. Can it change into anything or are there limitations? Could it transform into a real live... something, or is that not allowed? (It would kinda defeat the point, wouldn't it...)

I used to have one, back in school. Came from a combination of hand written work in classes, and a penchant for writing emo poetry which happily I grew out of by the age of eighteen.
Don't have it any more, however. I may have just spent three years doing a degree, but one could get away with taking very little by way of notes, and all work was typed (I've a suspicion they won't actually accept hand written work), so throughout my university career, the writer's bump would reappear whenever I sat an exam and that was it.
Mine's not on the middle finger, though. (Middle's the longest one, right?) It's on the ring finger. Probably because I hold my pen weirdly, with the first two fingers and thumb on the pen, and the ring and little fingers tucked away.
