I am taking this opportunity to formally announce that I am going on a hunger strike until the release of 1.08 !!!!
-
How long can people survive without food?
2 weeks? :D

be carefull to dont get two week, I mean too weak :)
-
well...day two of the hunger strike. Drank some water...feeling a bit dizzy...hope these guys dont take too long. :(
-
I wouldn't expect 1.08 until the week before the con. :)
-
The average person can survive 60 days without food, providing there is a supply of drinking water. But long before that, you start doing irreparable damage to your internal organs.
Just something to bare in mind. ;)
-
my internal organs are not important...what is important is the release of 1.08 !
-
Witha ya in spirit Zap <S>
Mmmmmmmmmmm Cheeseburgers
-
<offers zap a french fry> you might want this. This is waht I call "Semp's 1.08 Survival Kit" If it isn't released before 60 days, eat it and you can survive another 30 min and pray.
<G>
-
Well so far so good. I have spent a few moments staring at the tidbits in the refrigerator but then I realized the importance of what I am doing here, and I closed the refrigerator, grabbed a glass of water and meditated for a couple of minutes. My stomach is acheing terribly and the dizziness is getting almost too much to bear...PLease HTC have pity on me...PLEase release 1.08.... :(
-
Just mixed up a batch of good ol' potato pancakes with diced apples for breakfast mmmmm goood.
-
MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this 16 oz. Porterhouse is just drippin with juices.........OH GOD!!!! the taste!!!!!!!!!!!!111 :eek:

ROFLMAO HEHEH HT good 1 :D

Don't fast on water alone--in case you're not kidding ;). I mean you can, but use juices to at least get your nutrients. This fellow that was on Howard Stern had done it for 151 days. They call it a fast, but I bet it's slow.

Do you want BRISK? I have couple of 2 litter bottles. Come on, BRISK does body good :)
-
Don't worry zapkin, after the first couple of days it stops hurting because your stomach has shrunk and nearly turned off. The body prepares itself for a long time without food. What REALLY hurts will be starting to digest food again once 1.08 comes out... By the way, in Air Force combat survival training, we teach that you can only last 30 days without food... I don't want to make this sound too grim, but your days are probably numbered. Sorry
-
Well...its not so bad today. I feel a little "light headed" still, and my stomach is making these obscene noises that worry me, but overall I am doing okay. I almost broke down last night and ate a cracker. Almost. But I decided that my cause was more important than food. I appreciate the support from all of you. The meal suggestions, etc...its really making this alot easier to deal with. I just pray that they dont let me die..... :(
-
No one really knows that ol zap is 450lbs and can is chugging dounuts so fast the cops are starting to get nervous :D Its the sugar makin ya dizzy, now get out of that creaking chair and do something will ya? :)

-
i am getting too weak :(
-
Brisk? Last offer.
-
well. the stomach pains arent as severe today. Managed to drink almost a quart of water...took a vitamin, man...what did i get myself into :(
-
Man oh man. This hamburger is really good and the large soda sure helps it go down nicely. Wooops, should I not have said that here?
Zapkin, I took a different avenue. I won't stop eating until 1.08 is out. I'll be fat and happy though.
;)

drank some tea this morning. puked it all up. Had the dry heaves for about 20 minutes. I keep seeing double, and have been visited by at least 3 dead relatives. This is bizarre to say the least. my skin has taken on a waxy appearance, and I can only hope that 1.08 is out soon. I fear for my life if it isnt.
-
Come on HTC! I would hate for his obituary to read:
Starved to death wating for 1.08
That would not be a good thing for prospective customers to read!
;)
-
zapkin GODAMNIT aint you DEAD yet?????????
btw all this choclate and cakes im carrying?
FOR ME BUDDY :D
-
I forsee an addition to the Terms of Service agreement to play AH...
"HTC is not responsible for death due to starvation from addictions to the game interfering with normal feeding times or hunger strikes in an attempt to force the untimely release of an update."
-
Look at it this way, with all the money you are saving from not buying food- you can afford to buy 12 months of Aces High by not eating for a week.
-SW
-
Dammit Zapkin, you've provided ENTERTAINMENT now...heck we'll be lucky to get 1.08 before Thanksgiving now LOL
Say Hello to Karen Carpenter for us, will ya?
:eek:
-
lol...does my poor wretched skrawny body good to laugh..... :D
-
G'day, hang in there Zapkin, not dieing of malnutrition is overrated anywho ;)
And Russian, forgive my ignorance...but what is Brisk?? sounds interesting.Wanna trade for a jar of good ol' Aussie vegemite? :)
<S> Blue
-
Brisk=Lemon iced tea that tastes VERY good. My fridge got about 7 bottles of it :)
-
Zap can you post some pics of yourself? Remember it doesn't count as breaking the fast if you eat things that come out of your body.
-
I havent eaten for two weeks now, I wont play again tilo its out. :)

Oh myy, someone MUST feed this man ! :eek:
-
Squeeze some lemon into your tea or water to make sure you're getting enough electrolytes, Zapkin.
Zapkin? Hey, are you okay? [pokes ribs with finger] Zapkin!!
With the greatest concern,
MRPLUTO
-
Oh God! He's turned into little red 'xs'! :eek:
-
Well I am still weak, but strangely euphoric...could it be 1.08 is coming soon????
-
"could it be 1.08 is coming soon?"
Could be.
Well, maybe not. After 5 days it's probably your kidneys shutting down.
But don't worry! You have many more major organs in reserve that'll keep you going as you body starts breaking them down for food.

p.s. I notice you use the English brand of toothpaste too!

Well, I broke down and ate that cracker that was calling for me. I promptly vomited it all over my keyboard. Spent the next 20 minutes removing keys and cleaning it. I am so weak right now that I can barely play the game. I know I should be doing something constructive, but I cant...I just cant...fortunately near starvation has not affected my ability to type. Anyway...I have a feeling that I will be long gone before 1.08 is out...maybe I should rethink this "hunger strike" and just order a damned PIZZA?????
thanks for the support and encouragement...I am truly touched, and should I decide to stick to it and parish in the process, I will put in a good word for all of you when I reach the afterlife...
take care...
-
<S> zapkin does htc have the play only policiy on the weekend?? if not i would say 1.08 tomorrow!~
go zap!!!!
-
sooo very weeeeek....ohhhhhhhh :(
-
uhhhhh
-
What's he gonna do for 1.09? Lop off fingers one at a time?!?!?!
-
Nahh, my guess is not bathe. :)
-
ohhhhhh
-
<slaps zapkins weak lifeless looking pastey face>
hmmm... i think hes dead? :(
-
Zapkin, I think for 1.09 you should pledge not to go to the bathroom until it comes out. I can see it now... "I'm putting this here cork in and it's not coming out until 1.09 is released!"
:D
Oh btw, Richard Simmons went 42 days without eating once, so you should be in fine shape when 1.08 comes out.

I wouldnt make such a refernce to Richard Simons as "just fine"

Do what the tibetean Monks do, drink beer when you fast..
:p :confused: :p
-
I am going to take this time to annouce I will leap from a plane and not open my parachute untill 1.09 is released! <G>

<hands Westy a coffee cup.>
<shrugs>
It's all I have man.

2 Footlong Chilli Chees Dogs and Chilli Cheese Tater Tots were eally good. The choclate shake was the topper tho. :p
-
well..this afternoon i went to burger king and purchased a whopper with cheese hold the mayo and add bacon, an order of fries, and jalepeno poppers. I devoured every last bite of it...every single morsel...and all I can say is....MMMMMMMMMM....
now i must purge!!!! :p
-
Well since you don't need my Brisk anymore I'm not going to offer :)
Good to hear your not dead...yet ;)
-
He heeeeeeeee, Zapkin saving himself for 3.0 :)
Now we know a hunger strike doesn't work, now what??????? What was that Bribe site? Hmmmmmm?
Beta 16 is currently the latest. I wonder how that is comming along? I have a feeling that this is the bottleneck to the release of 1.08.
I say this is all Bill Gates's fault!! Grab your pitchforks and join the masses congragating in front of his house demanding they fix DirectX!!!
Last report has it that Bill Gates yelled out the window,"Two weeks,two weeks!!!!".

good goin zapkin my really good guess was it was gonna be out today but i guess i was wrong but they still have time to release it today!! beta 16 has some problems so its holding it back
-
The day after I give in and eat a dag blasted whopper with cheese and bacon...I think they waited until my will broke....they waited until I couldnt take the starvation and deprivation any longer....they waited until I was a wretched man gorging on the dead flesh and cheese...
but....it was worth it...i love the 262 !!!
:D
-
my hunger strike was difficult but ultimately worth it.
this brings back fond memories.

NOOOOOOOO you stoled my picture!!!! It took me 20 years to get that picture edited just right, and now it got stoled and used! :( :( :cry :cry :cry :( :( :cry :cry
-
Sorry dude. That picture was worth hijacking. I wanted to use it on another forum I read. Thing is though, I forgot where I got it from and it really fit this thread.
The next round is on me. :aok

Scottish wine?
Hey ya never know, with all this global warming talk they may be making a wee bit of Cabernet Sauvignon before 2020 :aok
-
LOL its ok I dont mind. I think there was a thread from way back in the wishlist that was punted, so I thought id do a batman style post for it just for fun. If I was any better with photoshop, id have a better text message on it.
Anyways if someone uses an image I have created/edited, then I have "come of age" :)

Only HT would offer to send you the cheese and the whine. I suppose it's because they've got more than enough to spare.
Oh, and punt.
-
This kind of reminds me of that Temple of the Dog song "Hunger Strike"
It goes.......... I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadents......i can feed from the powerless when my cups already overfilled......but i'm going hungry, i'm going hungry......... :p :D
-
I like this hunger strike idea. I might try it out. I just need a good cause. Anybody got any ideas? And, beer isnt really a food item? I mean, I wouldnt have to give up beer would I?
-
You'd have to give up everything except water. And do it for something spectacular like say....I dunno. Just do it to do it.
