[Game] Own This World

I think not everybody knows this amazing game: Own This World for WP7. You should try thios game (for game description read below)!
I created a PPC.ch & xda-developers Alliance in OTW -
(since now its name is just "PPC.ch Allianz", but if some members from here join us, I will change the name to "PPC.ch & xda-developers Alliance" )
Name: PPC.ch Allianz
Access-password: pocketpc
Post here your ingame nick and if you have any questions, let me know
First at all a demand: The new alliance member should try to conquer at least 10-20 areas within one month. This demand has the background, that we consistently grow and there shouldn’t be a big unbalance in the alliance between the members with a lot areas and those with not so much areas.
Just so every one can benefit from the alliance and not just a few members (resource allocation). In particular cases it is very hard to realise because of the rivals in the particular environment but everyone has sympathy with it. However this is not the standard the worldmap has a lot of free areas.
Anyone who wants can post here his/her nick name in the game, and the country/city which he represents mainly, so that we know who is who and how far we extend.
I’m Okan58 and I’m active in Germany Hamburg and Bremen .

Basics of the Game:
"Own This World" is a mixture of risk and Four Square, that is a kind of real-life riskgame, in other words: it's a massively multiplayer location dependent game for the iPhone and Windows Phone 7 where the real world map has been split into millions of territories that you compete for with players that are also physically in the same area. Your rank in the world climbs as you claim territories. If you have the most you are crowned the ruler of the World.
There are some pictures that should illustrate this (video at the end of the post):

The world is split into squares and the goal is to take a lot of squares: This is only possible if you are in the area which should be occupied and produce automatically every 30 sec a soldiers (also runs under the lockscreen) or by discharging soldiers which where previously loaded into a van.
The number of enemy soldiers can be reduced by means of attacks depicted below. The more quarters one control the higher is the nightly resource production. In an alliance everything is separated to the members.
The PPC.ch alliance is with more than 30 members on the 1st Place in Germany. Let us show the world how big pocketpc.ch and xda-developers.com is. If there are any questions just post them here. Within the game, you can also communicate with each other.

Advertising non-free (as in cost) software on XDA is against the rules. You should either make an ad supported free version and upload that, or take this down before a mod does.

This is the paid section of the forum. And according to THIS section of the forum, members that have been here for a while, meaning a senior (like hazex is...) can advertise what they have new in any market place. He's not breaking any rules. The only thing missing is on the title of the OP to add what platform is the game for, as for now it only says [GAME].

Mashable: Two Social Media In Emergencies Articles

Two articles I found fascinating. Lately I've been feeling, since the back half of 2011 at least, that Mobiles are finally mature enough to become all in one portable media communication hubs. I could see setting up a device that does nothing but grab news/alerts and functions as your backup emergency device.

#Medics Lyke OMG halp! Timmah trapd N w3ll! Dis is lyk3 mch f4st3r th4n 911!
#Idiocy In emergencies there should be network-wide alerts. I don't and likely never will use FB, and have made exactly one twitter post directly to a company's support page.
Let's see, I can call 911, tell them my location, or if I'm in really bad shape at least have an open line so that they can hear I'm non-responsive and track my phone to find me or, while bleeding to death/losing consciousness I can attempt to type a coherent message giving my current position and hope that if it's not clear, emergency responders will be able to use my twitter id or whatever to backtrack and figure out who I am, locate a phone number for me, then try and track my position because I passed out before I could give an accurate locale.
Social media does not need to be the dedicated means by which to get time-sensitive messages out. The only value I can see in it is letting a large group know that you are okay or that everyone is meeting at a specific place and cellular networks are overloaded.
I wonder how long it will be before someone sues twitter or FB because they posted in their status that they needed help and no one responded quickly enough. Of course, much of this current generation had no idea that the Titanic and Holocaust were real, so I can't say I'm surprised that this is the present state of affairs.

Photoshop. Google "photoshop animated gif tutorial"
It's a painstaking and thoroughly monotonous process that will make you wish you were dead.
Good luck

There's bound to be a program for linux that will do the same thing.
You basically take hundreds of images, queue them up and tell them which order to be displayed in.
There are also probably websites you could use but to get something truly unique and smooth like the ones you showed above you'll probably need a standalone program.

Gimp is one of the most popular (and free) linux graphics apps, and it can do animated gifs. Have a look at that...

Wow, i thought M_T_M was asking a question (the avatar) and then i saw "Senior Member", so then i thought "Holy hell, M_T_M is a civilian again!" until i checked the username. I'll start with checking the username next time. I swear i used like 5 minutes on it. Yup, it's time for bed.
I haven't wasted this much time since Duck Hunt.

Help take a stand against animal cruelty.

This is a facebook page created for a Golden Retriever (pictured above) who was shot and killed in my county by authorities who have produced no proof that this was necessary. In fact, stories state otherwise, that it was blatant abuse of the animal. It is very sad. The county Sheriff is making arrogant and belittleling statements about the dog and people speaking out about the subject. She is even threatening to arrest those who have created the page - the people who are exercising their first amendment right. If you would like to show support or respect to the animal, who was part of the family, just like I'm sure you consider your animals to be.. A simple like is much appreciated.
BE WARNED: THERE IS AN ALBUM OF PHOTOS THAT ARE GRAPHIC, taken of the dog and the area it was shot and bled to death.
But there are also numerous photos of the dog with a baby. The father is a veteran.
My family has had 3 Goldens over the years, each one very loving. I know if it would have been my families dog it would have been killed as well just because she loves people and gets over excited wanting to jump on strangers and lick them and love on them. I think a vicious Golden is very uncommon, and even if by chance the dog was acting aggressively (which as hard as I try I can't imagine) there are numerous not lethal ways this could have been handled. Thanks for reading.

Also I am not posting this for discussion, it really does not require any. This is just a chance to do something small (such as "like" a facebook page) to show some support for the animal, the family, and to show you dont approve of animal cruelty such as this. I think we can all agree that animal cruelty is wrong. Please no discussion, if you wish to discuss you can do so on the fb page or here - where you can find more detail about the incident.

Indeed, there is no need for discussion of this. Just do the right thing and like the page. (or whatever Facebook expects you to do idk)
If for whatever reason you disagree then keep it to yourself and move along. Cheers.
