I would like to know if it's possible to remove the annoying underscore from the middle of my name and replacing it with a space. I put it there as a placeholder under the assumption that user names had to be all one word when I created this account. I have since found out that this is not the case. Any chance that one of you gallant folks can help :)?

Hey Kestas! (or other admins)
I posted about this a bit ago, but I'm switching emails, so I'm also closing down this account. I've now finished all my games. So, is there a way to transfer my points to a another account I've set up with the correct email? If so, that's great. If not, no big deal, I just would like to play against more advanced players sooner... Thanks!

Deleting an army/fleet
Is it possible to move your own army into your own territory with a support to destroy a fleet that you don't want?
Say, Fleet A is unwanted, so Army B supports Army C into Fleet A's territory.
Will Fleet A be destroyed or will nothing happen and this a dumb thought?

Same actor list as diplomat1824, except i wouldn't have misspelled "Brosnan". Favorite film? Probably "Die another day".
Friendly Sword (636 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Here is my (contraversial) list of Bonds, especially appreciating those Bonds who in my opnion best fell into the role of Flemings character, as well as thier holistic acting abilities

1st- Daniel Craig
2nd- Sean Connery *
2nd- Pierce Brosnan *
4th- Timothy Dalton
5th- George Lazenby
6th- Roger Moore

* Tie

For some reason I just really dislike Moore as Bond. Alot. Maybe its Geriatric tendencies... or the fact that he was in all of the worst Bond movies...

That said:

Here are my top five Bond movies

1- Goldfinger (it's just that iconic :P)
2- License to Kill
3- Casino Royale
4- From Russia with Love
5- GoldenEye



I'm sure many will disagree with me :P
Darwyn (1601 D)

Fav Bond - Daniel Craig
Fav Movie - Casino Royale

Keep in mind folks that Flemming intended Bond to be a brute...not the dashing, upscale character depicted by most Bond movies.

Cuz really, Martini's are not to be shaken, they are to be stirred!

Loved the opening sequence in Casino Royale...what a chase! I was never a huge Bond fan at all. But that movie definitely made it fun to watch.
Leon Rey17 (1838 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Nobody really agrees with me, but it's all about Roger Moore. My favorite movie would probably be Die Another Day.
Chrispminis (916 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
I'm going to get a lot of flak for this one, but I thought Moore was pretty classy. I put him on par with Sean Connery and I'm not sure whether or I like Daniel Craig more or less...

Least favourite is probably Timothy Dalton... all his movies were practically action-comedy with all the corny one liners and ridiculous slapstick scenes, like riding down in a cello case in The Living Daylights. There must have been a "witty" one-liner every 10 seconds in that scene alone.

Despite the terrible inflating person scene near the end, I would probably say Live and Let Die is my favourite movie. Then probably Goldfinger, GoldenEye, and Casino Royale.

I would have to say that disregarding Timothy Dalton's movies, I would say my least favourite is probably Die Another Day. This is probably because it was a huuuuge breach of the Bond formula. It didn't follow the classic plot structure... It's true though, if you watch a bunch of Bond movies in a row you'll see that very similar scenes take place near the start and near the end.

@Chrispminis: so what is this "Bond formula" that was breached?
figlesquidge (2131 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Well, I think I'll break the mould here:
Least Fav Bond - Daniel Craig
Least Fav Movie - Casino Royale
Now, I loved the film, but for me that isn't what a bond film is about. I know that's what Flemming wrote them to be, but its not what they became. Contrary to most of you I like the light hearted humour and action in some of the middle films. So:
Fav Bonds: Moore, then Brosnan
Fav Films: Goldfinger, Tomorrow Never Dies, Golden Eye
Note: Moore is my favorite for 'his' bond, but of the films themselves none really stood out as particularly good or bad to me, whereas Brosnan produced two greats, and some lets say "less great".
Glorious93 (901 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
I agree with figlesquidge - pretty much all the bond movies up to Casino Royale had the same, light-hearted and slightly comic feel, despite what the books were like. I didn't like Casino Royale or the new "thuggish" Bond, it just was too different... there's already plenty of films like that , such as the Bourne series, and Bond used to be fairly unique but now its just another dark and gloomy action film.
Glorious93 (901 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
And after all that I forgot to list my favorite Bond and favorite film...
Well, it's got to be Brosnan. He's just effortlessly cool, and is exactly as I think Bond should be... maybe that's just because I grew up watching Brosnan films... anyway my favorite film would be The man with the Golden Gun, purely for the theme tune.

Invictus (240 D)

George Lazenby! Wot-woo!

Best idea for the next Bond movie: Sean Connery plays the villain.

"Do you expect me to die, X?"

Connery: "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to talk."
Wotan (1587 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
I never really liked the old Bond movies, for exactly the reasons that figlesquidge and Glorious seem to like them... I don't know what Fleming wanted Bond to be like and frankly I don't care. Seeing 'Casino Royale' made me an instant Craig-Bond-devotee and I like the thuggish, quasi-psychopathic interpretation a lot. I found the rest of the old Bonds lame and irellevant (except Sean Connery, who's someone I cannot possibly dislike; he's the personification of old-school cool to me) so my list of favourite Bonds look like this:

1. Craig
2. Connery
3. Moore (only because his movies were the ones we watched when I was a kid)
4.- ... The rest of the Bonds (*yaaaaaawn*)

By the way, wouldn't it be a lot more interesting to discuss our favourite Bond-girls? ;)
Wotan (1587 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Another thing: does anyone know what the big-ass villain with the titanium-teeth (or whatever it was) was called? He was something like 2.10 meters tall, had shiny, silvery teeth and was pretty inarticulate, communicating mostly with moans and groans. He was in several of the Moore-Bond movies, as far as I remember. I thought he was called 'Jaws', but I just looked at the wiki-page on Bond villains and no luck as far as I can see...
SteevoKun (588 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Connery: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to take the Penis Mightier."

Ahem, anywho...my favorite bond is definitely Brosnan and my favorite movie is Goldeneye.

Chrispminis (916 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Oh, I haven't seen a formula bond movie in while, but there IS a formula. Forgive me if I get it wrong, because this is off the top of my head.

It usually goes something like this, either Bond starts out with an attractive girl or is already on a mission. If he's with a girl he's called upon by M to be briefed about a new threat, or the girl dies and the threat is revealed and he is briefed by M. If he's on a mission, the new threat is revealed and he returns to M to be briefed. After being briefed upon a new criminal conspiracy of rich guys/ethnic terrorists/foreign government black ops, he goes to Q who gives him his car and the latest gadget he will invariably use later in the movie.

He will travel the world in his chase of the bad guys, picking up one or more Bond girls, some of which will die, all of which he will fuck. Insert a few chase scenes, whether car, or boat, or some other concoction...

Bond takes the main bond girl to the "lair"-ish place of the villains and the climax ensues in which Bond miraculously dodges all bullets from the completely visually impaired henchmen while dispatching them from afar with an eloquent pistol. He will either be captured and put into a ridiculous situation from which he will escape, or he must outrace a timer in order to save the world. Naturally he succeeds and the great threat is over, and Bond and the main bond girl go somewhere to drink Dom Perignon and insinuate they are about to copulate, and as M tries to contact Bond to debrief him and congratulate him, Bond invariably makes himself unreachable for communication, much to the amusement of the audience.
Chrispminis (916 D)
26 Nov 08 UTC
Also, in terms of Bond girls, before Quantum of Solace, I'd have to say Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) from The World Is Not Enough is the most attractive and probably one of the more interesting Bond girls. But I think I have to go with the latest Bond girl, Camille (Olga something-Russian), and I was disappointed that he didn't actually fuck the latest bond girl... a serious departure...

Daniel Craig is pretty sweet, but Sean Connery and Pierce Bronsan is what comes to mind when I think of James Bond. Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and George Lazenby all suck.

no the best bond girl was denise richards, with the best name for jokes: i thought christmas only cums once a year, in the film with the best one liner, but from moneypenny: you always were a cunning linguist james.

The best Bond Girl was Jinx (Halle Berry) because if you recall, she actually killed a main villian, and helped Bond outside of the bedroom.

@trim: right, that would explain why Jaws is not on the list, I guess, cheers!

Giwald (521 D)

I like the humour Roger Moore brought to the role a lot, but overall I'd still vote for Connery.

Fav movie is terribly hard... most of the stories are of similar quality. Let's go for You only live twice... for the fantastic volcano crater villain base and the ninja's.
spyman (424 D(G))

I don't watch James Bond films anymore. However, I loved them when I was a kid, which is probably why Roger Moore is my favourite. I liked him because he was super cool and funny.
diplomat1824 (0 DX)
27 Nov 08 UTC
You Only Live Twice is the best Connery film, period. That shootout in the volcano and the ninjas were awesome. It covered up the unrealistic plot.
Invictus (240 D)
27 Nov 08 UTC
Moore was easily second best, maybe even ties with Connery. You people are nuts.
Chrispminis (916 D)
27 Nov 08 UTC
Ok, I would like to point out the Brosnan junkies are all "that age" where the first bond movies they've seen were likely the Brosnan movies and so the older movies might seem slow and boring in comparison.

I'm pretty young myself, and I think the first bond movie I saw was GoldenEye, but I started watching the Moore and Connery movies afterwards.

Lol, a shootout in a volcano with ninjas covers up the unrealistic plot? =D
Invictus (240 D)
27 Nov 08 UTC
The older movies have better storytelling. If you think a Bond film isn't a Bond film without a laser gun, then by all means stick with Brosnan.
