I haven't read a lot of books, but it is my favourite. Probably going to go through it for a fifth time sometime soon. Does anyone know of any books similar in style to Starship Troopers? I've read two others by Heinlein and, while not bad, they are very different.

Whoa. This is, quite honestly, the first time I have ever won any prize when there has been a chance of not winning.  :o Thank you Mike for your time and effort and TacTown for their sponsorship of the contests. I will have to make a few extra camping trips this year to make good use of the...

I can't really afford to buy much of anything in life, and I probably shouldn't have, but I spent $20 a while back for 3,000 points. I needed them as I was pushing towards 1st place.. too bad I threw that down the drain when I didn't login for a month and missed like 250,000+ combat readiness. :p

Congrats MJP! It would have been sweet to win as its my birthday today, but I guess I'll just save my good luck for that roll up the rim Toyota Matrix. ;)

Just noticed an extremely minor detail: In the stats page, it lists "Intelligence Dossiers Completed" for me as 50, when in fact I have only completed 49 and my current dossier is #50. Good thing I noticed this before the game imploded, eh?  :P

Yes, I have an ERYX, Binoculars, Sunglasses, and Sig Sauer P225. It seemed like there was no HVM for Kabul, but I unlocked it somewhere between level 185-190. It took a long time from the previous mission.

Well, I think I'm pretty much done. 6 days later, Rank 191 (6.5/day avg). Could have got a few more levels out of it if I had better managed my intelligence gathering, but it was just taking too much time.

I've got about 4 page loads with the 0 Negative Morale bonus... gonna have to just let my CR fill up overnight (guess I can finally get those missed CR bonuses).

I've lost my patience and have begun my incentive-fueled ascent today. At the time of this post, I am Rank 152.

Keep in mind it is possible to gain 10+ levels in a day legitimately, by reaching a "critical mass" whereupon a combat readiness refill is enough to gain another level, and another, etc. I believe I once gained 9 or 10 levels in one day back around rank 60, and I've never experienced this...

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I seem to be finding INT quicker than before, with little change to my attention to detail. (I sat here for a good five minutes trying to thinking of something else to write, but I think I summed up my question quite well. :p )

Too bad you couldn't CFR somehow :p

My "big bang" experience will not happen for a couple of weeks. Estimating what the percentage bonuses will be, I should temporarily have about 630 Attention to Detail (Currently 102), a well as about a +200 temporary boost to CR, bring it from about ~1000 to 1200.

Oh, bummer. There goes any hope of passing you in the next couple weeks. :p

After manually training equipment for days, I turned a HVM in FOB Zettelmeyer that started at about 37% success rate into a very profitable 90% (soon to be 95%) one, and it only costs me 35MP in ammo per 8156 combat experience. It was well worth it; in the past two days I've shot from 11-12th to...
