![]() Nobody was terribly offended, it was passed off as a joke by other people, but, coming from a pretty isolated background, I didn't know that in the 21st century the preferred terms are black folks & white folks. That has to be my absolute worst social faux pas, ever. " I am from South Carolina-we all talk like Negroes there." Think fast, think fast-And somewhere out of the back of my mind, since I had no pre-made social script for speaking to archbishops about my (at that time very, very strongly Southern) accent and other dumb stuff, I remembered a quote -īut from Vernon Dalhart who made the first million-selling country record in 1924. "Why, you have a rather pronounced accent. ![]() Spotting a young man in a slightly ill-fitting black suit and assuming this is one of the seminarians in training he goes over to introduce himself-in the event these guys end up as priests, better to be on friendly terms with the Roman hierarchy. The Roman Catholic bishop of a large Texas diocese wades through a crowd at some gala. ![]() I will always remember that moment of dead silence though! We stayed on good terms, for the rest of my time in that town, and continued to be friendly neighbours to each other. We parted on good terms that evening, but without my accepting any of their leaflets etc. They were just such nice people, and I hadn't wanted to offend them. It genuinely embarrassed me that this had happened with these friendly neighbours, so I then, for the only time in my life, voluntarily sat through about an hour of Jehovah's Witnesses telling me what they believed, without making impolite remarks or finding excuses to go home. "Maybe it was Jehovah's Witnesses," I suggested. ![]() Was it an axe murderer? A Tupperware salesperson? Various ideas were thrown around, and soon we were all laughing. We started speculating who it might have been, apart from survey people - you know, using a ruse to try to get you to open your door. So I had tea with them, and we chatted about the mystery door-knockers. They told me they'd not had a visit, and invited me in, saying they were just having a cup of tea and would make one for me if I wanted to join them. These neighbours seemed really nice - they were always waving to me if they saw me leave or return and happened to be in the garden, and we had little chats over the garden fence. So after a while, seeing that my neighbours still had their lights on, I went to ask if they'd had a visit from the survey people as well. I tried to check out if the people doing the survey were knocking on other doors in the street, but couldn't really see - it was dark already. I told them that this was no time of night to be conducting a survey and I wouldn't be participating.Īnyone who's a single female will know that there's a bit of caution about letting strangers into your house when you're on your own. "We're doing a survey," said a male voice. I thought that was a bit late for people to turn up at your doorstep unannounced and asked who it was. One night there was a knock on my door at 9pm. So I rented a small park cabin someone had put on a suburban block, which was just the right size for me (but uninsulated, so it was like living in a glorified tent!). I was single and didn't like being in huge houses designed for families, but also didn't like those apartment complexes that remind me of horse stables, with noisy neighbours and shared walls. ![]() In 2002 I was living in a rural town in Victoria for a while. Here's a memorable faux pas from my life. It's usually funny to talk about it afterwards! ![]()

Will you use your torpedoes and railguns only in self-defense, or will you mercilessly crack trade ships' hulls for the valuables they contain? Once in orbit, you will encounter other ships - some may want to trade, some will refuse to communicate, and some will attack outright. Scenarios are saved alongside worlds, so when you grow tired of living on a planet where every corpse explodes, you can pack up and leave, secure in the knowledge that it will be just as explodey when you decide to return. It is possible to change scenario parts when traveling to a new world, although some may be irrelevant. Perhaps their descendants will even feel grateful enough to give you gifts. When departing a world, you can transfer ownership of your colony to an allied faction, and if you decide to return it may have become a thriving settlement of that faction. The entire previous world is compressed and stored, allowing you to revisit planets at your leisure. Rather than needing to start a new game, once you've built a Johnson-Tanaka drive you'll be able to jump between worlds at the touch of a button. SoS2 handles planet-hopping differently than its predecessor. Once there, you can expand it to your heart's content. A basic ship needs only a bridge, sensors, a shuttle bay, and chemfuel engines to be launched into orbit. The requirements for launch are much simpler in SoS2 than in vanilla. Once you've built a basic ship and launched it into orbit, it plays a number of roles: as a (relatively) safe place to store a small amount of loot/colonists, a resource sink as you expand it into a full-fledged space station, and - most importantly - a launch point for orbital quests and ship battles, and a quick way to reach any spot on the planet.įor more details, especially regarding the mechanics of ship combat, check out our wiki. SoS2 aims to make it a relevant gameplay element from mid-late game onwards. In vanilla RimWorld, the ship's only purpose is to serve as an expensive win condition. Build an orbital fortress, explore the wreckage of ancient ships, battle pirates - or become one - and travel back and forth between distant RimWorlds! Discover the secrets of evolving your ship's AI into a true archotech, and rule the Rim!
