Random vs Banked TT

I am a strong proponent of random drops in TT. It enables far less theft has far less chance of drama coming after the run and saves time. It gives every indivual a shot at any boss they were alive when the loot is picked up(generally every indivual should be alive), allows for greater freedom for people to come and go, and if people want to trade mats gives them their own personal responsiblity to do so. Some runs you get a lot more some runs you get less if you want people to keep running with you, you balance the good runs with the people your running with. You also save all the time at the end of runs redistrubuting mats which often takes as long as the runs themselves take.
My opinion if you trust a bank that's your own trust and you should be happy with anything you get out of it. People generally want the same mats as well and this gets rid of drama saying I did a run with that person and didnt get any mats(unless it was a favorable run and often people are willing to share more on good runs.) Respect your party and you will always be able to find one. Well those are my thoughts vs the field of bankers, and how to have less drama in game. Running this way with a mild charge for subs makes sense.
Illistrative note one 3-1 run I ran only 1 gba mat dropped for the entire run, no other mats. How do you split one GBA amongst 4-6 players, or 2?

For years I have lived happily in ignorance of the upheaval that is taking place all around me. Amidst all the chaos of wars being fought for no apparent reason other than greed and provocation, administrators in power trying to dictate or discriminate against people for their faith or lack thereof, recessions, inflations, bubbles, I was an island just staying happily afloat in deliberate naivetmy only exception was listening every once in a while to my brother's show, The Young Turks, on the internet but that was for pure entertainment. The reason for my self-imposed illiteracy was because I felt powerless and insignificant in face of all that was happening in the world; although this was my lifelong belief, the 'second Bush' era, I believe, cemented the fact of ancould do whatever pleased them or the interests they were supporting without being held accountable. The world would keep on turning, young people dying for no logical, humane reasons, some people going bankrupt while others' endowments swelled to incomprehensible proportions whether I took notice or not.. knew back in 2007 when I began working for a show called The Young Turks, it would stir the pot with the Armenian community. Even though the show itself has nothing to do with Turks, or Armenians, or anything even close to that nature, people would misunderstand and explode with fury. Even though the ONLY Turkish individual at TYT acknowledged the Armenian Genocide, I knew people would ignore it. After all, not many people seem to know that "Turk" has an alternative meaninn the past, corporations and rich donors were savvy enough to split their giving to both political parties so that both sides would have a financial incentive to protect them. Yes, they might lean more to the Republican side, but they gave enough to the Democrats to get them properly motivated to look out for corporate interests.Republicans have repeated the lie that tax cuts are always good for the economy so often that all of Washington seems absolutely convinced that it's true. The conventional wisdom is so established on this that all a Republican has to say is, "Everyone knows you don't raise taxes in the middle of a recession..." Or in good times or in mediocre times or ever. All tax cuts are always good.TYT is looking for fans who are willing to volunteer a couple hours of their time passing out fliers advertising the show. We aren't that picky about where you pass them out at, however we're hoping to flier as many college campuses as possible. The fliers have already been produced so all we'll need you to do is send an email to with your name and mailing address (to send the free t-shirt & fliers to) also be sure to include in your email where you'll be passing out the fliers. InOn Wednesday's show, Cenk explains his overt support for Senator Feingold, and announces that he will be doing something for the first time. Meanwhile, Senator Kaufman of Delaware explains some of the fundamental reasons why our national politicians can't do the right thingwo students at Rutgers University are in trouble for secretly taping a roomate having *** sex in his dorm room and broadcasting it on iChat. The student that was taped ended up committing suicide. Australia conducted an audit to find out which websites their employees were looking at. A couple of the Right Wing workers visited 200,000 pornCenk gives his final thoughts on the last two interviews. Ben Coes probably thought Cenk is a Republican. Schweizer mentioned that Pelosi's father was from Baltimore, which is apparently a bad thing. A candidate for governor in Maine telling a group that they'll see headlinesuring today's show, Ana and Cenk talked about a story regarding a woman in Scotland named Samantha Brooks, who deceived two women into sexual contact by pretending to be man.These are hopeful days.

he likes banked TTs because ididbarbie is a fair panda and likes everyone to be happy. he hates greedy ppl.
ididbarbie likes to do in order (subber, tank, banker and the rest) just so everyone is happy. ididbarbie subs so gets 1st pick, and since he tanked is only fair he gets 2nd pick, and by being the banker is only natural ididbarbie also gets 3rd pick. and after subber, banker and tank picks, out of pure kindness ididbarbie leaves the rest to the team.
...unless it was a very good run and ididbarbie waits for 2nd round to pick.
so, yeah. ididbarbie thinks most ppl that likes random drops are normally greedy, because they secretly hope everything just goes to their bags. ijs0 -

Facebook is a social network service and website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] As of July 2010 Facebook has more than 500 million active users,[6] which is about one person for every fourteen in the world.[7][N 1] Users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, usersmay join common interest user groups, organized by workplace, school, or college, or other characteristics. The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know eachother better. Facebook allows anyone who declares themselves to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website.Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The website's membership was initially limited Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over.Facebook has met with some controversy. It has been blocked intermittently in several countries including Pakistan,[9] Syria,[10] the People's Republic of China,[11] Vietnam,[12] Iran,[13], Uzbekistan[14] and North Koreaby the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, andIt has also been banned at many places of work to discourage employees from wasting time using the service.[15] Facebook's privacy has also been an issue, and the safety of their users has been compromised several times. Facebook settled a lawsuit regarding claims over source code and intellectual property.[16]A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace.[17] Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"[18]Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore. The site represented a Harvard University version of Hot or Not, according to the Harvard Crimson.[19] According to The Harvard Crimson, Facemash "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine Houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person".[20]To accomplish this, Zuckerberg **** into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses' private dormitory ID images. Harvard at that time did not have a student directory with photos and basic information, and the initial site generated 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.[20] That the initial site mirrored people's physical communityThe site was quickly forwarded to several campus group list-servers but was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg was charged by the administration with breach of security, violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy, and faced expulsion, but ultimately the charges were dropped.[22] Zuckerberg expanded on this initialproject that semester by creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final by uploading 500 Augustan images to a website, with one image per page along with a comment section.[21] He opened the site up to his classmates and people started sharing their notes.he following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He was inspired, he said, by an editorial in The Harvard Crimson about the Facemash incident.[23] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.[24]registered on the service.[27] Eduardo Saverin (business aspects), Dustin Moskovitz (programmer), Andrew McCollum (graphic artist), and Chris Hughes soon joined Zuckerberg to help promote the website. In March 2004, Facebook expanded to Stanford, Columbia, and Yale.[28] This expansion continued when it opened to all Ivy League schools, Boston University, New York University, MIT, and gradually most uacebook incorporated in the summer of 2004 and the entrepreneur Sean Parker, who had been informally advising Zuckerberg, became the company's president.[31] In June 2004, Facebook moved its base of operations to Palo Alto, California.[28] Facebook received its first investment later that month from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.[32] The company dropped The from its name after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.[33]Facebook launched a high school version in September 2005, which Zuckerberg called the next logical step.[38] At that time, high school networks required an invitation to join.[39] Facebook later expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, including Apple Inc. and Microsoft.[40] Facebook was then opened on[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]youtube.com/Angelolwut0

The name aardvark comes from a word meaning "earth pig." Although the aardvark, endemic to Africa, shares some similarities with the South American anteater, the two are not related. The last survivor of a group of primitive ungulates, the aardvark could more accurately be called a near-ungulate that has developed powerful claws. The aardvark has a short neck connected to a massive, almost hairless body with a strongly arched back. The legs are short, the hind legs longer than the front ones. The head is elongated, with a long, narrow snout and nostrils that can be sealed. The long, tubular ears are normally held upright but can be folded and closed. The short but muscular tail is cone-shaped and tapers to a point. The thick claws on the forefeet are well adapted for digging. Aardvarks are found in all regions, from dry savanna to rain forest, where there are sufficient termites for food, access to water and sandy or clay soil. If the soil is too hard, aardvarks, despite being speedy, powerful diggers, will move to areas where the digging is easier. Aardvarks are mostly solitary and nocturnal, but sometimes will come out during the day to sun themselves. When aardvarks sleep, they block the entrance to their burrow, leaving only a very small opening at the top, and curl into a tight ball. Especially during the rains, aardvarks may dig themselves new burrows almost nightly. Many animals, including ground squirrels, hares, civets, hyenas, jackals, porcupines, warthogs, monitor lizards, and birds use abandoned aardvark holes as shelter. When pursued, an aardvark will furiously dig itself a hole, and when attacked, may roll onto its back and defend itself with its large claws or use its thick tail to somersault away from its attackers. As it is nocturnal and has poor eyesight, the aardvark is cautious upon leaving its burrow. It comes to the entrance and stands there motionless for several minutes. Then it suddenly leaps out in powerful jumps. At about 30 feet out it stops, raises up on its legs, perks up its ears and turns its head in all directions. If there are no sounds, it makes a few more leaps and finally moves at a slow trot to look for food. Aardvarks give birth to one offspring at a time. The pinkish, hairless newborn stays inside the burrow for about 2 weeks and then begins to follow its mother in her search for food. The young first eats solid food at 3 months of age and is suckled until 4 months. At about 6 months the young male becomes independent and goes off on its own, while the young female stays with the mother until after the next baby is born. The young female may then dig its own burrow a few yards away from its mother but still joins her to forage for termites. Aardvarks are specialized for eating termites. They move from one termite mound to another, dismantling the hills with their powerful claws. Insects are trapped by the aardvark's long protractile tongue (as long as 30 cm), which is covered with a thick, sticky saliva. Sometimes the aardvark will press its snout against an opening in a mound and suck up the termites. Aardvarks, with their keen sense of smell, also hunt for the long columns of termites that move outside the mounds at night. The adult aardvark's principal enemies are human (who sometimes kill it for meat), lions, hyenas and leopards; pythons also take the young. Aardvark flesh is relished by several African tribes and many parts of the aardvark body are used as charms: the teeth are believed to prevent illness and bad0
