Title: Holy Space Cadet!
Post by: goodlord666 on September 24, 2012, 06:13:26 PM
Hi, just wanted to let you know that browsing through the most recent posts I stumbled upon this image in (I think) the Spanish section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=98606.msg1217003#msg1217003):

I have no fucking idea what it is but it looks so damn cool!

Have you ever played Elite Plus?

You are looking at me approaching some planets in the Rigel system, ready to unload some illegal toxics and a bunch of slaves. That green/red trail you see there is the smoke of an enemy pirate ship with a bunch of oars loaded which I'm about to salvage from it for change to be used in purchasing a new passenger cabin. It was also shortly before the game crashed on me for the 1'000'000th time.

Oh the good times I had :)

Here's another screenie, but I think it's from the sequel:

Basic candlestick chart with Fibonacci ratios, trendlines, support and resistance, and a potential MACD crossover. Pretty standard stuff. We're seeing a continued downtrend as long as the upper trendline cannot be broken. Look for a retest of the long wicked bar for support, to consider going long.

Exactly. Or it's the main viewport of my space glider silly!

Notice how I'm scooping up solar energy by flying low on the sun so I get a better thrust towards the Hooters club on "New Pattaya" (the green planet in the middle).

Interesting side note: "Columbus' Destiny" (the planet beneath the other two) is currently being squashed to a pancake thanks to accelerated travel towards a newly created wormhole to the negative plane.

Have it your way. But it's exactly as I said it was. The upper trendline is still functioning as resistance.

Well, no resistance my heat seeking missile can't handle.

Market resistance is purely a self fulfilling psychological phenomenon that is entirely impervious to physical penetration. Your heat seeking missile would be as effective against it as it would be against a ghost. Dream on.

If it's like a ghost I'll just use magic. Problem solved.

Just buy through it.

You're playing a space trader simulation after all.
