you can go to 'vote for us and get points' once per day and just go down the list and ctrl+click the links, and then close the popups to get 24 points or you can refer people and get 5 points per person who signs up (go post your ref link in any forums that you frequent.. i got 52+ referrals just from posting in dz.com and rc.com ) Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

haha... the $3 wasnt for points or anything, it was so we could form a gang... (sounds like famous last words of a soon-to-be addict, eh?) its actually quite easy to get points to play the game and be entertained without having to buy them... the 'buying points' thing seems to be for people who just want to play it constantly, rather than tinker for a few minutes here and there in between real work. oh, and sinking people's rickety-assed dingy's is great fun! until you hit the wrong guy's dingy and his gangmate comes over with a destroyer and stomps you into the sea floor...

ok its made... search for 'Altitude Thieves'

OK Deal! (brett AT clearviewstudios.com) You okay with the name 'Altitude Thieves'? edit: whoever made this game must make a fucking killing... Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

i don't know yet... i tried to start one called 'Altitude Thieves', but then it said i had to be a 'Respected Pirate'... i'm still decided on whether or not i want to spend the $3 to become one.. not because of the $3, but because of what that would make me *** ***(one of the tools that actually spends real life money on a free online video game) Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

yer right! yarrrrr! alrighty then, so far we've got 20 um.. scurvvy dogs in this game from dropzone.com... what's say we unite, ye scallywags o' the sky? right.. ok so anyway, everyone post your usernames in this thread, and send a letter to 'jenjis' (me) and i'll start a gang. ideas for the name so far are: The Flying Dutchmen The ScurvvyBirds Cloud Conquerors I kinda like the first two.. whaddya think? *ghetto goes back to work for another hour before allowing himself to open that tab in his browser* Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

reeeeeead it.... you know you want toooooo........ I revise my original statement about productivity loss.. mine is up to around 80% now. I need to get out of here!!! AHH Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

hehe i like it.. anyone have any other ideas? Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

oh... one glitch that will REALLY piss you off... don't use commas in any of the money fields! I accidentally sold off 14 points for $998 each instead of $998,000 each but ya... if you want a really quick start, go to the 'vote for points' thing and just hit ctrl+click on each of those links, then close the popups after they load.. you'll get 24 points. Then you can go to the points market and get like $250,000 for each of them, and go buy yourself a ship any ideas on what i should name the dz.com gang? (there are 14 of us already) Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

Arrrg matey.. looks like theres already 8 dz.commers in the game, so i'm starting a dz.com gang. what should i name it? Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

what universe do you live in? apparently not one with the same natural laws as ours: gravity, thermodynamics, death, taxes, and the left-wing 'zero tolerance policy' The principal that expelled me was a liberal.. and yes, it was simply for pointing my thumb and forefinger at a classmate like a gun.

be sure to go to the gambling tavern and play the 'lucky dip' as soon as you can... it always seems to pay well

My productivity just dropped about 50% since I found this.. but I thought some of you other people who are stuck behind a desk all day, being really bored, refreshing your browser on dz.com every 5 minutes to see if someone responded to your post, might appreciate this. it's called Rule the Seas, and its addicting as hell. Maybe we should start a dz.com gang? It's entirely browser-based so it's easily minimizable and SFW Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

I was referring to slider up subterminal, as the original poster was asking about a ~1000ft tower Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

I could see how tailwind could definitely slow down an opening. While I agree with blitz in that until linestretch, the canopy acts like a windsock and opens the same relative to the wind, what about when inflation starts to occur? For example, if the tailwind blows your canopy out in front of you during extraction, what happens when it hits linestretch and your body suddenly loads the canopy while it is in front of you? wouldn't it tend to pull the canopy backwards a bit (or at least exert some force preventing it from continuing to blow forward with the wind) to get it back over your head? Then while the canopy is inflating, the tailwind comes into play again, slowing down pressurization through the nose. btw sorry if the above paragraph seems choppy or retarded, i'm driving down the highway with somebody talking my ear off and asking me to read off some stupid serial numbers, so each sentence was written about 5 minutes apart... hopefully you get the jist Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

If you're taking a 6 second delay from 1000ft (not including any wind shear), how much wind could you really have affecting your opening? After 5-6 seconds, your body should be moving with the wind horizontally... so where is this 'wind' that you are worried about causing offheadings? (i know that this only applies in constant winds with no wind shear... otherwise any number of scenarios can come into play (from personal experience)) Winds obviously can have a huge influence on opening headings on lower objects, but after 5-6 seconds of freefall you really shouldn't have any problems (unless the winds are strong, or they are doing funky things... which you should be observing on the climb up) Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

I once slept for at least 45 minutes on a tower, while lying down on a 3"-wide crossbeam that was on a 20-30 degree slope. I kept slowly sliding off of it and I'd semi-wake up just in time to catch myself and re-align the beam between my shoulderblades before falling back asleep. I was clipped into the beam with a monkey tail, but if I fell I wouldve definitely taken a nice 10-foot pendulum into the steel... ouch.

I also started writing a comment citing the legal base sites across the rest of the world, until suddenly I felt like a whining little kid tugging at my mommy's skirt, squealing "But Billy and Tommy's moms let them BASE jump! Why can't I? PLEEEEEEEASE" A slightly different approach: Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

Then there are those times where an open butterfly clamp on some coax behind you snags your bridle and pulls both your pins while your 300' up a tower in 15mph winds. It's pretty convenient to be able to cutaway instead of being pulled out of the tower and spiraling in under a lineover Yes, another solution is to be more careful... but sometimes something stupid might happen anyway.

They're not??? I think Hank's girlfriend might have a dossier on you Web Design Cleveland Skydiving "Hey, these cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts..."

I definitely wasn't saying anything about not sharing; anyone who comes to my area and posts here looking for locals will surely be contacted and shown around to an object or two (unless they seem like a complete jackass). In fact, you guys need to round your crew up for a weekend and get your asses up here to play for a few days But that's exactly what I'm trying to say; the system already works... why go through all this effort just to fix what isn't broken? Thats a really cool story about the mayor btw... does that mean that the WDD wasn't the first festival in the area that had a BASE demo?
