In which AK (Gordon Gecko II) expresses that 'Greed is Good'

Another early morning Windows Live Messenger exchange:

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Good morning Fiend Kuo!

AK Silverune says:
wow, open warfare in the galaxy was just averted.

AK Silverune says:
i mean like planetary warfare. death dealing on a galactic scale.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You would prefer warfare wouldn't you?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You thrive on hate and greed.

AK Silverune says:
yes actually.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
And that would be your preferred environment, eh?

AK Silverune says:
it means more profit for me.

AK Silverune says:
i could get you or chester to grab planets.

AK Silverune says:
send all the money to me.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Kinda like China selling arms to Iraq and Iran during the Iran-Iraq War in the eighties.

AK Silverune says:
ok

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
What happens now? Will you provoke war then?

AK Silverune says:
oh no, i'm just a minor player.

AK Silverune says:
i'm more interested in looting frankly.

AK Silverune says:
they seem to be able to start wars on their own without me

AK Silverune says:
besides they're all boys, so they have more than enough ego to start their own battles.

AK Silverune says:
i'll just sit back and loot.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Hmm..

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You do well for yourself Shylock-Gollum!

AK Silverune says:
of course i have no clue what to do with the money. but that's not the point.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
You are like Fabio. You want to control the universe too.

AK Silverune says:
who the heck is fabio

AK Silverune says:
control of the universe isn't profitable.

AK Silverune says:
too much hassle

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Fabio is Nose's new name.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
When I saw him recently with his wavy hair and scarlet turtleneck, he instantly spelt 'Fabio' across his forehead.

AK Silverune says:
you're a mean nasty little hooligan.

AK Silverune says:
but i like it!

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Coming from Shylock-Gollum's mouth itself, it must be an honour.

AK Silverune says:
did you call him Fabio in his face?

AK Silverune says:
Like: HEY NOSE BOY FABIO!

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
YIKES!

AK Silverune says:
no?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
He knows about it and you know what? The best part is that he dislikes it.

AK Silverune says:
you're a gutless little chicken hooligan.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
If he likes it, it would be boring. But if he dislikes it, whoa!

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
We are all set for take-off!

AK Silverune says:
you're a goady toad hooligan.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I don't see him much if you remember. Yes, I have told him that I called him Fabio.

AK Silverune says:
you goad people all the time

AK Silverune says:
you rile them up.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Yes, High Toad. Only you.

AK Silverune says:
woh ho. evil kasi in TW

AK Silverune says:
well i definitely don't like TW

AK Silverune says:
takes way too long to play.

AK Silverune says:
well maybe.

AK Silverune says:
i should start it at work, then i can build up during work.

AK Silverune says:
what do you think?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I think you it's great. Colin became alive a few moments ago and he announced that he will be starting in World 6 tomorrow!

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Ack. Do I want to start in World 6?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Ack.

AK Silverune says:
world 6?

AK Silverune says:
wow. maybe i should jump on.

AK Silverune says:
naaaaaaaaaah

AK Silverune says:
i have enough distractions at work, running my planet.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I didn't know about it either.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Still, it's a new World.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Colin said he is disillusioned with Worlds 2, 3, 4. He's given up on 5 like you cowardly did.

AK Silverune says:
why?

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
The thing about older Worlds is that there are many abandoned villages around. And sometimes, there just aren't many active players nearby? I don't know.

AK Silverune says:
has he tried chosen space?

AK Silverune says:
with the time he has, he would do well politicking.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I don't know really.

AK Silverune says:
i might drop him an email later about it.

AK Silverune says:
i think he might like it.

AK Silverune says:
question. do youhave the same problem as chester when you played CS? he's said the lag time is slow for the CS server to singapore

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I didn't play CS.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I signed and did not play.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Colin's response to Chosen Space:
"i need familiarity man! i can't play new games! too old to learn! i need games that repeat the same actions over and over. if there are too many new units and buildings in w6, i'll probably quit and come back to familiar w3/4."

Alex Kuo says:
ok....

AK Silverune says:
that precludes him from CS then.

AK Silverune says:
but you know i have the same problem - i.e. no time to learn new things for gaming, but i found CS to be easy to pick up

AK Silverune says:
maybe i'm just very used to these interstellar games.

AK Silverune says:
trading etc.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
Hmmm.. You are familiar with greed.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
That is a universal.

AK Silverune says:
and YOU, WHAT? WHAT? HAH? HAH? ANGEL LAH? so good MEH?

AK Silverune says:
mischan.

Chuang Shyue Chou says:
I'm no Shylock-Gollum like you are.

AK Silverune says:
why of course, old boy, greed is a universal motivator in our pre-dominantly capitalist world.
