    I wouldn't mind, except that I now don't know what death-toll I'm building up among my lackeys.

    I love how "routine" turbolift maintenace is the most dangerous doff mission in the game. So many bodies at the bottom of the shaft.

    Assignment officer: Tweedle and Kai, you've got . . . routine turbolift maintenance.

    Tweedle: Ack! Can't we do rot control, or suppress raids in a cluster, or *anything* else?

    And I thank you for reminding me of 'Red Storm Rising' (where the term is actually part of a major plot point)...

    I presume the OP is Russian as he (or she) is using Russian terms that are not used very often in the western world.

    "Potemkin Village" is a term derived from a Russian military officer by the name of Potymkin who I think created fake villages to fool Empress Catherine II in some military maneuver. I can across the term years ago when reading an article in the Economist. It basically means anything (either tangible or intangible) that has been created / constructed to decieve people into believe something is better than it actually is.

    "Maskirovka" is a Russian term that means military deception. I first read that term in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising novel.

    no, im not russian, but i though that potemkin vilage is wordide know, as well it comonly used world and teached in history class :).

    yeah, maskirovka is way less comonly used, in western word, but is is used when descibing masking of soviets/russian military projects, so it is know to anyone who is inteesed in this area.

    or as one pointed there - it is know to readers of tom clancy :) (im one them).

    it was to show that russian civilians have higher living stanrd tat they in realy have, not during manuvers, but your point stand - it is for setups to decive/fool visitor that what he see is better than in reality is.

    i even recal that when putin visted some vilage in preparation to sochi olympic (but not completly sure) , that they used cloth placed over buildings with nice print on them to show buildingin better condition that they were in realiy, so this traditin is alive in russia.

    If you say so. I only recall that term being used in the Economist so at least to me it does not seem to be used much based on my experience.

    By the way, what is "Free jkname" in reference to? I have seen it used as a signature by some players.
