Man's best friend in Glenview could be a skunk
Patti Kuntzmann, Animal Care supervisor at The Grove National Historic Landmark in Glenview, with Cora the skunk. Karie Angell Luc~for Sun-Times Media

Updated: January 28, 2013 6:30AM
The jury is always out on who's really a man's or a woman's best friend when it comes to pets. A cat, a dog…but a skunk? You betcha. Cora Hope is a skunk and is an ambassador at The Grove National Historic Landmark in Glenview. And while she appeals to many senses (yes, touch, her coat is silky soft), you don't have to worry about that Internet-oft-searched recipe calling for detergent if you choose to stroke Cora's fur. Cora's best friend by far is arguably Patti Kuntzmann, The Grove animal care supervisor. Meet Cora Hope the skunk.
Q. Patti, tell us about your furry friend.
A. We have more than 200 animals here at The Grove, but Cora is one of our special ones. We call her Princess Cora, but actually her name is Cora Hope. Her name comes from John Kennicott's (Grove homesteader) daughter Cora. And Hope is a name that came out of one of John's sons. She's been here about a year and a half. She came in as a tiny little baby about that big (gestures with her right hand, her fingers showing in a circle how small Cora was). And some high school kids from Glenbrook South found her. They wrapped her up in their sweatshirts and brought her over to The Grove.
Q. Is it unique to adopt a skunk?
A. Now normally, we don't take animals like this. And if we do, we have a wildlife rehabilitator that we take them to. And these are people who raise the animals and release them later. Well, after some time with Cora we all decided, to keep her and use her as an ambassador for all skunks. And how she teaches the kids how special skunks really are and how they're not aggressive. They only spray because they have to. They might be frightened and they spray. Now, if you come to The Grove and you see Cora, Don't worry, she has been descented and spayed. And she's also had all of her shots. She's a healthy girl.
Q. Can skunks be tamed?
A. If you have a skunk as a pet, you have to be an experienced animal person. They're not a dog and they're not a cat. They're a skunk. So they have a lot different traits. You can't discipline them in the way you can a cat or a dog. And I guarantee you may get nipped. We do on occasion, nothing vicious. But you have to understand as a family, and if you were to get a skunk, skunks are illegal to have as pets in Illinois. There are some states that will allow them, and there are places that actually breed domesticated skunks, mostly on the East Coast but not here in Illinois.
Q. What is Cora's personality? She's a veggie lover, that is known…
A. Well, Cora is very friendly. She knows who her mommy is (Patti). And she distinguishes that from smell. In the wild, they can't see anymore than three feet ahead of them. So that's why you see a lot of them on the road. They never see the cars. But she does know us, she's very affectionate, some say she's spoiled, just because we pick her up when she wants to.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students All students interested in foreign languages, international studies, and living in a European setting.
Tips for prospective students I have enrolled at Franklin College Switzerland (not Franklin College, IN). This is an American university located in Lugano, Switzerland. Unfortunately it is not one of the choices from this web site's drop down box so I simply chose to put this school's name in to complete my profile. If you are interested in foreign languages and international studies, then check out this school. It is a small school where you will be known by your name and not by a number. You will live in an international setting in which you will become fluent in another language. At this school, your learning will not be confined to the four walls of a classroom; at this school the world is your classroom!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Franklin College is great for any type of students, it just depends on if students want a large campus community or a small campus community like Franklin College. I have seen many different types of students and this college is a great place to make friends and be who they want to be.
Tips for prospective students Franklin College is a great school to attend. For students that want to attend, it is the same as any college or university: attend your classes, be outgoing, and work hard on homework and tests. Franklin College is a great place to make life-long friends. I am an incoming Sophomore and have made a lot of friends my first year! Franklin College is about 70-80% Greek so if you're interested in Greek Life, Franklin College is the best choice.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Franklin is a very small town, and there's tons of restaurants nearby. On campus, there's a great gym, and there are new late night activities hosted every week.
Food and Dining The main cafeteria has good food but it's often extra greasy. However, the coffee shop is better than Starbucks.
Dorm Life I don't live on campus, but my friends love it.
Academic Rigor The work is not only hefty but often times fun.
Tips for prospective students Franklin is a great place for friends and learning. The music department is it's own independent, awesome experience. The college puts on the best plays. Sports players get offered a lot of scholarships. Last, there's no better journalism school in the state. I'm a freshman and the college has already helped me become published in 10 newspapers.
In three sentences Franklin College is providing me with an amazing experience. The professors have proven to want to help me be better at what I want to do in my career. I have zero complaints about the college.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Franklin College is a very safe campus, security guards are always on duty and there are call lights around campus.
Greek Life Greek life at Franklin College is big. A larger portion of students are involved in greek life, in the 5 different fraternities and 3 sororities. During the end of the year, greek students participate in greek week activities. Throughout the year each greek organization puts on a philanthropy event.
Clubs and Activities There are many different clubs at Franklin College, such as a student entertainment board, student congress, major clubs, sporting clubs, drama club, religion club, and 5 fraternities and 3 sororities.
Great for these types of students Students who are serious about their school work, like more one-on-one attention, and looking to get involved are perfect for Franklin College. Franklin College has many different things to offer to its students and makes sure they get a great experience out of college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Franklin College has 5 fraternities and 3 sororities. Franklin's Pi Beta Phi sorority and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity where the first chapters founded in Indiana. There are many different statues of Ben Franklin around the school and it is tradition that students paint Ben for different reasons throughout the year. Also, the Ben statue inside one of the halls is used for good luck before a test, by rubbing Ben's nose.
Bang for the buck Franklin College is a small, private, liberal arts school that is focused on making each student successful in everything they do by following the school's values. It is well known in the town of Franklin and everyone is eager to help you and find jobs throughout the school year. Everyone at Franklin College is extremely helpful, friendly, and compassionate.
What to do for fun Franklin College also has something going on where it is a sporting event, fraternity or sorority philanthropy event, yoga class, kick boxing class, or clubs' events. Every month Franklin has free movies and events throughout Franklin for Franklin College students.
Food and Dining Franklin College has many different options in their cafeteria from a sub line, grill, homestyle, pizza place, salad bar, and so much more. They are open throughout the day and they also have a convenience store you can shop at.
Dorm Life Franklin College offers many different dorms to choose from. There are 3 traditional style dorms and one apartment setting dorm. They are clean, furnished, and very welcoming.
Academic Rigor Franklin College offers challenging academic course work for each student that attends Franklin. Although the work is very challenging, the professors are always willing to help and give you more one-on-one attention.
Tips for prospective students Take a campus tour, ask about the different clubs and organizations, rush for greek life even if you aren't interested, come prepared to work hard.
In three sentences Franklin College is a friendly school where everyone fits in somewhere and has many opportunities to offer. It is a successful, professional school that will stop at nothing to help you succeed. Franklin's liberal arts values helps better you for your future.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is extremely secure with 24 hour supervision by security guards that patrol the area. In addition, there are supervisory cameras placed strategically throughout the campus, as well as outdoor phones to contact security should you need them for any reason.
Greek Life The college honors and sponsors many fraternities and sororities. Greek life has its own special home at Franklin.
Clubs and Activities There are numerous clubs and activities at Franklin. There is never a day when there is not something going on by one of these.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The mascot of the college is Benjamin Franklin. There is a large statue of him at the beginning of the campus. Throughout the years, it has become tradition to paint ol Ben for every event. He is treated with a new paint job for every home game, tournament, season, and celebration.
Bang for the buck With Franklin being a private liberal arts college, it is a bit pricey compared to other schools. However, the benefits of Franklin far out way the price. I wouldn't trade my experiences at Franklin for anything!!!
What to do for fun The college hosts a multitude of activities ranging from corn hole tournaments to concerts. There are many give-away contests and raffles. Each month Franklin sponsors a free movie night at the local theater.
Food and Dining In Franklin's drive for excellence, they welcome student and faculty input. Each year a survey is taken to rate the food and dining services.
Dorm Life I personally live off-campus (by choice), but I have seen the dorms and amenities that Franklin provides. The are extremely clean, efficient, and homey.
Academic Rigor The curriculum at Franklin is both thought provoking and stimulating. Franklin drives their students to excellence in both their personal and academic lives.
Tips for prospective students Franklin is a small community college that encourages the cultivation of relationships among the students, faculty, and staff. If you are looking for a small town college with a great emphasis on education, integrity, service, and leadership, then I would highly suggest Franklin.
In three sentences Franklin College encourages and teaches their students to be strong individuals and leaders in the community. Their emphasis on integrity, service, and leadership equip the students with the tools they need to be successful upon graduating.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Hang out with friends and go explore the town.
Food and Dining The food is great there. That's all I can say about that.
Dorm Life I'm not living on campus just yet, but I'm going to try because I hear that it is a lot of fun.
Academic Rigor The first year you are there they will do it for you.
Tips for prospective students Just make sure the college your going to makes you feel like home because it will be home for a while.
In three sentences I haven't started yet, but I am a student at Franklin. They already know I'm attending there, but they still open the doors for me. Franklin is a nice little campus where I feel like I belong there and everyone is just nice and easy to talk to.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Franklin is very safe. There hasn't been a time that I haven't felt safe. There are also security officers who are always available to walk with someone at night if they don't feel safe.
Greek Life We have Greek life, but I am personally not a fan of it. A lot of people do participate in it though.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs and activities to choose from, and they are all very easy to get involved in.
Great for these types of students Franklin is the school for people who are willing to work hard.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The privy burn during homecoming is a little strange until you hear the story behind it, but it's also a lot of fun. Also, we have a Ben Franklin statue that gets painting all the time for different clubs and events.
Bang for the buck Franklin is very expensive, but they offer a lot of scholarships. The degree you receive is very respected in the professional community and you will definitely get a good education as long as you do the work.
What to do for fun Franklin has a lot of things to do, and we're really close to bigger cities like Greenwood and Indianapolis that have basically everything. There is Rascal's, bowling, shopping, Orange Leaf, and lots of other things.
Food and Dining Saga is okay. It gets very old very quickly but you will never starve.
Dorm Life Dorms are fine. Some are better than others, and the parking can be annoying sometimes. But for the most part they're great.
Academic Rigor The classes are definitely demanding and homework is constant. Time management is a very important skill for college, no matter where you go.
Tips for prospective students Don't just come here to play sports. I have been an athlete my entire life and I know how great it is, but if you're going to college purely for athletics, that's a waste of money. Make sure Franklin has your major of choice and you like the campus and the curriculum, and definitely make sure you can afford it. Sports should not be the top priority.
In three sentences Franklin College has a lot of opportunities for such a small school. There are pros and cons just like every other college. There are a lot of challenging classes but there are plenty of resources to help you.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There isn't anything to do around campus so they put on lots of events for us so we don't get bored!
Food and Dining The dinning hall is okay, it has its good times and bad. Just have to work with what they have.
Dorm Life Usually, a hall builds a friendship and all become quite close. The only bad thing is that sometimes you do not get close to them and then it can be kind of awkward. But, just be friendly!
Academic Rigor All the classes are challenging. Even in subjects that we have taken every year since elementary, like history. Even the art classes are somewhat demanding.
Tips for prospective students Professors want all of us to succeed so make sure you build a relationship with them and utilize them as much as you can! They will not turn you away or steer you wrong.
In three sentences Franklin College has a small community that brings students together to feel like a second family. The faculty and staff are very friendly and always willing to help students. The curriculum is both interesting and challenging.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security officers are on duty 24/7, call them and they will check out a computer for you or take you back to your dorm if you're afraid of something happening to you after dark.
Greek Life There are 8 sororities and fraternities.
Clubs and Activities There are over 30 organizations on the campus of little over 1,000 students, 8 sororities and fraternities, students can get involved with governing the college, organizing events for the students, etc.
Great for these types of students Hardworking, mature, open-minded, social, athletic
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Before Homecoming, there's the Privy Burn, a tradition where a privy is built and burnt after the pep rally; there also is the Bell Game, the last home game each year against arch rival Hanover College (Franklin won again this year); and Franklin is the best tailgating school in the nation.
Bang for the buck Excellent school in great location!
What to do for fun Unless you have a car or friends with a car, there is not much to do in walking distance, although there is a small public pool and park just across the railroad tracks. Also, there are many athletic events throughout the year, tons of organizations to get involved with, magicians, a capella groups, and speakers come to campus, and on the highway there's bowling, ice cream, fast food, etc.
Food and Dining Good food quality-wise, the dining facilities could be open longer, though (at least the main cafeteria; the small convenient store and cafe are open until midnight or even later).
Dorm Life The sense of community is great and the different halls have their little event each month, which is very much fun.
Academic Rigor As mentioned above, the classes are challenging, but still fun, and the professors are into the topics they teach and know exactly what they are talking about.
Tips for prospective students Be open and only settle for a school that you think is perfect for you, be it Franklin or any other college.
In three sentences Franklin is the perfect school if you are willing to work hard for your classes, be involved in community work, and get a great liberal arts education. The classes are challenging and all the professors (90 % of whom have a Ph. D. or equivalent) always encourage every student to put forth his/her best effort. However, not only academics are emphasized, but athletics and, of course, community and friendships are extremely important.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This campus is, to me, the safest campus in Indiana. There hasn't been anything that made me feel unsafe.
Greek Life Greek life is amazing. There are five fraternities and three sorrorities on campus, with numerous other merit based greek associations.
Clubs and Activities There is always something to do for some club. There are more than thirty registered clubs on campus, and all of them are very active in providing thing for the students to do to relieve stress and enjoy their time.
Great for these types of students It is great for students who like small, personalized settings. People who like to know a lot of people, and have parties would love this campus!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Nearly Naked Mile is a clothing drive that you wear the clothes to, but you take them off (with undergarments still on) and run around campus.
Bang for the buck Every cent that I've paid for has benefitted me ten fold with the knowledge and experiences that I've gained from Franklin College.
What to do for fun There are numerous intramural leagues, but we also have FC on the town nights, where the college students can go off campus and do fun stuff for little or no cost.
Food and Dining The dining is excellent! You can get just about anything you want, made to order even!
Dorm Life Dorm life is awesome. You are never more than two minutes away from another building, either the cafeteria or buildings that your classes are in. Plus, the other residents are always friendly and welcoming.
Academic Rigor Even though it is fun to go to Franklin, they do challenge everyone academically. Everyone is respective for the challenges, because no one wants to waste their money learning nothing.
Tips for prospective students Come on a college visit. You will know whether you like it or not the second you set foot on campus. Also, talk to professors that teach in your area of interest, they can tell you what you need to know about what you want to learn.
In three sentences I love Franklin College (FC). It is small enough that the professors actually care whether or not you are succeeding. It is one of the best decisions I've made for my education.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Sometimes sticklers about where you park, but they are there when you need them.
Greek Life 3 sororities 5 fraternities Great environment to be apart.
Great for these types of students Great for students who like the small environment. Small town, but Greenwood has a big mall 20 mins away and Edinburgh has an outlet mall 15 minuets away. Professors do care about your personal life.
Bang for the buck It is expensive, but the personal attention from professors is truly worth the money.
What to do for fun The college works with surrounding business so we can attend fun activities for free or a low price. Snow tubing, going to the zoo, free movies, and much more.
Food and Dining For the price we are paying the food is really pretty good.
Dorm Life Yet again depends where you live. Elsey, and Dietz and clean and pretty new furniture. Dietz has singles and sections with a bathroom for four people. Cline and Hoover are the oldest and need a little work. JDH is great because there are living rooms and bathrooms and two bedrooms for four people.
Academic Rigor It really depends on what your major is. The sciences are tough because they expect you to truly be studying the two hours outside of class like they recommend. Other majors such as teaching is maybe time consuming, but not difficult. Athletic training is time consuming and difficult, but when they make it through the program they all have jobs.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in some type of activity you are interested in. Be willing to make new friends. Yeah, it's tough making new friends, but put yourself out there people will appreciate you did.
In three sentences This college is so great because of the small class sizes. The professors truly care if you understand. The small environment allows you to know everyone, and they will help you if you are in a jam.

Multi-Mode Fibre Optic
Emulex adapters support Multi Mode Fibre Optic Cables (MMF) with LC type connector. "LC" refers to the actual connector on the end of the cable, and it stands for "Lucent Connector". There are several kinds of MMF cables that can be purchased, the difference between one type of MMF cable and another is in the size of the core of the cable, which then determines how far apart the HBA can be from a target – also called the link length. Link length is also contingent on the bandwidth designation of the cable, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4.
Fibre Optic Cable Characteristics
Mode | Core Diameter | Wavelength | Modal Bandwidth | Cable Jacket Color | |
OM1 | Multi-Mode | 62.5 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 200MHz | Orange |
OM2 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 500MHz | Orange |
OM3 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 2000MHz | Aqua |
OM4 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 4700MHz | Aqua |
SFP+ stands for Small Form Pluggable Plus – the second generation of the SFP interconnect system, supporting data rates up to 10Gb/s. SFP+ modules can be plugged into an SFP+ cage that is installed on the board, which allows you to swap out an optical module in the event of a failure. If you order an 8Gb/s Emulex Fibre Channel HBA, it is shipped with one, two, or four SFP+ Optical Transceivers installed in the SFP+ cages on the board.

Comments On May 25, 2013:This tire hooked up well in dry hard pack motocross track when new, but seemed to fade rather quickly...good for the money but not for the long haul, i suggest spending the few extra buck on more quality tire

Comments On Apr 30, 2013:I go through tires like crazy. Duros last as long as any brand, and are considerably better than most high end tires Ive used. I ride mainly tight, rocky woods, and open desert; they work well in both conditions!

Comments On Jun 04, 2012:I bought this tire simply because it was a great price and I needed a fresh tire on my CR250 for a Hare Scramble. The tire was awesome and showed almost zero wear in conditions that were perfect and really would not challenge any tire. The second ride on this tire was a 6 hour endurance Hare Scramble in dry, hard-pack, and rocky conditions. The tire lost almost 50% tread and has a fair amount of knobs that are torn. So, if you're going to beat a tire in rough conditions, the price is right for this one. If you want something that will last... spend an extra $30+ and go with a name brand. Ultimately, this is what I expected from this tire, at 8 hours of hard riding it's pretty much worthless for anything but easy trail riding.

Comments On Apr 27, 2012:Race performance tire and wear. A good tire. For the price you dont have to suffer with an enduro tire. Lifespan is decent and there cheap.

Comments On Jun 27, 2011:I have not suffered a pinch flat in 2-3 seasons and I've pinched twice since mounting this tire. As a result I've actually mounted the same tire 3 times now. Once in the garage and twice on the trail. I always ride rocks, with Michelin MH3, Dunlop MX51, and Bridgestone 404s I haven't pinched between 10-12lbs. For me this tire needs 14lbs to not pinch, it has very soft sidewalls, even at 14lbs it does not feel over inflated.
The traction is very good on rocks, it is very sticky, it felt somewhere between a intermediate tire and a trials tire on rocks. It is a good value since it does last for quite a while on desert and mountain rock riding. It held up great for about 200 miles and then suddenly the knobs starting falling off. Better than losing knobs over the course of 250 miles.
Additional Comments On Aug 27, 2011:I pinched in rocks for the 3rd time with this tire at 14psi. When I took the tire off I noticed that the sidewall was starting to tear (not the cause of the flats, all were pinch flats). Even though the traction is good on rocks the tire is not durable enough to stand up to them. I changed my rating from Good to Fair and won't be buying this tire again.

Comments On May 04, 2011:I'm not going to buy a more expensive tire again , this tire hooks up great.
Additional Comments On Aug 21, 2011:At 1st I thought it was OK cause it was gripping good in a straight line , but after getting some time on it , this is the worst cornering tire I have ever used , i was loosing my rear end all the time , didn't matter if i tried to accelerate hard out of the turn , or take it easy , i just keep losing my back end on all sorts of terrain.

Comments On Jul 07, 2011:So I ride alot and I usually dont have the money to buy new tires every other month. I usually go down to my local recycling center and find old tires that still have meat on them. I decided to buy this tire because it was inexpensive and so far its lasted me 3 months now, its great has really good traction good quality rubber and is super easy to put on the rim. Get This tire it will save you money and make you happy!

Senators Levin and McCain Target American Citizens,
There's been a lot of controversy around two specific sections of Senate Bill S. 1287 "The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)" that was rushed to the Senate floor today. They are sections 1031 and 1032, which are both related to the detention of terror suspects. Section 1031 would apparently give the President the power to [...]
Senator Paul on the Senate Floor
Senator Paul will speak around 10:45am this morning on the detention of American citizens as written into the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1867). Catch it on C-SPAN 2 or watch it live here.
Amend S. 1867 to Prevent Indefinite Detention of Americans!
Drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin and John McCain, S. 1867, the Senate version of the National Defense Authorization Act contains a dangerous provision allowing American citizens to be detained by the military under the Authorization of Use for Military Force (AUMF) against Afghanistan.

The only diet in the world that guarantees you ideal weight (body height in centimeter, minus 100, minus 10 percent), even if that means that you will have to lose 50 kg in one year.
Money back if it will not happen.
Easy to follow, success guaranteed.
Sign up today for 200 US dollar.
What you get for 200 US dollar
First, you get access to more than 50 articles that expain my diet concept. But this is less than half the value, and the articles alone guarantee less than half the success. This is because I am hesitant to explain everything in articles.
I am a jounalist by education and trade, and I have written many thousands of articles. Since the advent of the Internet, for the past 20 years, my work has been widely copied, and I am never really revarded for work I put into articles.
I still write, because writing is my method of organizing my own ideas, but because writing public articles just gives away what potentially is elte knowledge, much of my writing work does not make it beyond email to selected people.
Email communication is also an important element of your membership in the Serge Kreutz diet. The Serge Kreutz diet is very, very unconventional. It is explained in the articles, but because it is so unconventional, you will certainly have many questions, and for these, email communication is essential. Anyway, many aspects of the diet are not covered in the articles at all.
For a start, the Serge Kreutz diet is so successful because it works almost without unsatisfied cravings. You do not have to omit your favorite food, and the restrictions are absolutely minimal.

Scarletomato: those are *ahem* "graphic" shots. There might be kids reading this forum, watch what you post! Not everyone wants to see the mating rituals of the battlecruiser and carrier. :wise:
I've created a Homeworld 2 blog.
Hope you enjoy it!
LOL!!! Wow, now that I see it that way... That could be taken in so many directions. But I won't. I'll just say that he does seem a happy fellow firing up those Ion Cannons :heyhey:
Cool MS shot in your blog BTW. Where'd those Battlescars come from?
Well I started just wanting to put some pics online, and then I figured I should write a little thing about what was happening with each.. and that turned into a sort of story. So the story on the page describes what was going on to cause all that damage on the mothership.
ok, so I just played a long battle as Vaygr against my friend who was Hiigaran, and the Vaygr have no chance at all in the late game. None at all. I don't mind limiting the research upgrades the way they are now, but the Vaygr need to be able to build more ships to compensate. There were literally no resources left on the map and consequently I couldn't win. In the late game, it takes a huge number of ships to even get close to a win.. my friend blew though 16-20 of my battlecruisers, and the closest I got to winning was destroying almost all of the defenses around his mothership. Perhaps upgrades that reduce production costs might help... or something... sheesh...
I too find the Vaygr are too weak compared to the Hiigarans in this mod. They lack the punch of the Hiigs in later games.
It was yesterday, when I started my second Complex battle. Played the Hiigaran and started with 5 resourcers. The Vaygr had already built around 7-8 destroyers, a shipyard and, say, 3-4 dozens of corvettes and fighters, not to speak of platforms, frigates, the cruise missile and other stuff I couldn't figure out.
I had 4 destroyers and about 2 dozens of fighters and corvettes.
And I had not the smallest chance.
So, here the Vaygr are completely over-powerd. Now have look on the previous posts ... where the Hiigaran were completely over-powered.
Obviously, I've missed something.

You probably didn't want to risk the battle because you thought that numbers and amount of fire will win a war. ONE of these :hover: can kill 10 of these :vikingb:
I too have trouble winning. Although i can hold them off with some pulsar vettes and the mother ship's torpedos. I still haven't won a game though
OK guys, if you're Hiigaran and you want to kill a vaygr CPU (or a whole map full of them), here's all you need to do:
Resourcing comes first: Your goal in this game is really to be the resourcing king, killing the other players is just added fun. Don't even think of attacking a CPU until you've played for at least an hour and a half. Don't worry, your game should be over by two hours.
Pick and choose: Don't build all types of units. Recognize what roles you need filled (anti-fighter, anti-frigate, anti-capital) and pick one type of ship that can handle that role. Only research upgrades for those ships. Don't bother with the rest of the tech tree, its just a waste of money, especially early on.
Play defensive: What do you want early on? Would you rather have 8 flak frigates or 48 gun turrets? Which will defend your base better? Turrets are a must for a Hiigaran player mostly because they don't affect your population cap much. In the late game, all the frigates in the world don't have a chance against a wall of 20-40 ion turrets. You shouldn't build any units except resourcers and turrets until your first population cap upgrade, and then you should go straight to ion destroyers and ion turrets.. after you build 1 carrier, of course. Let the carrier take over your harvesting operation, salvage harvesting and platform controllers from the mothership and replace them by more useful modules.
Reasearch, reseach, research: How do you win? Is it by getting that battlecruiser out 45 minutes into the game? Of course not. If you rush for battlecruisers, or any other particular unit, you'll neglect other upgrades that are absolutely essential to your survival. You want to establish a pattern of research that gives you good results. Typically this means researching harvesting upgrades first and asap, defensive upgrades next, then fire upgrades, and finally new ships. Only deviate from this routine when you can up your population cap, when the ion destroyer becomes researchable, and when the shipyard/battlecruiser become researchable.
All you really need is the Mothership: This strategy is unique to this mod. In the late game, the fully upgraded mothership can kill every single thing on the map all by itself. If you have other units at this point, well thats just a bonus for you! The AI is not smart enough to target the mothership ion cannon with its anti-subsystem fighters, so no worries for you.
Remember, its a CPU: AI is AI. Its not going to outwit you, so don't worry about it coming up with some ingeneous plan to kill you off. The best AI players build a disproportionate number of marine frigates and start a perpetual frigate assault against you. This is one reason platforms are useful, they can't be captured! If you make it to the late game, following these strategies, you've won!

Good strat Dostillevi! I, too, was having trouble with the AI seinding 3+ destroyers at me with 10+ missile frigs when I had a really small force ^_^ (tho, this was Higgy versus Higgy).
One question: What's the research requirement for the Maintenance Fee Lowering Research? I was playing with a friend against a few CPU, and he got several levels of Maint. Down, while I _NEVER_ got one. I think this may have been due to the fact that I have the MEgalith, but in the end my Yearly Maintenance was over 1,000 RU's! Am I correct in assuming you get Maint. Down only when your Yearly Maint. is a specific percentage of your yearly income?
yeh, the Hiigs are very overpowered. An upgraded battlecrusier can dismantle fleets of bombers and corvettes like nobody's business. My mothership can handle decent waves of anything thrown at her. I find it very rare to need strike craft when playing Complex. I usually build a couple shiri to take out the scouts and probes, but that's about it. I mean really, the MS has a geat aim with those hulldef gunzs, torpedoes, and an Ion cannon! The battlecrusier is loaded with pulsars, flaks, and rapid fire cannons. It's not vulnerable to strike craft anymore.
My strategy is always go after the MS defence upgrades first. Then I can build my fleet in her shadow.
Of course, the strategy I just suggested is only good against the AI.
I played my friend again just now, (both Hiigaran) in a 1vs1, and I pwned him in half an hour. How? Well, first I looked at the number of resource points on the starting asteroid group (8) and realized that we would both have to build secondary resource operations in the early game. Knowing that my friend is used to building platforms early on (aka the strategy I posted), I built a small group of 4 bomber squadrons and destroyed his harvesting operation. From then on, it was an easy win. Even more important than finding a good strategy is knowing how to switch it up in different circumstances. For example:
small/medium map with medium asteroid groupings, 1vs1: Fighters, particularly bombers, are a must in the early game. Whoever manages the early game well will win. Go from fighters to frigates and the game should be over before anyone has destroyers.
small/medium map with large asteroid groupings, 1vs1: This is a bit of a longer game, because you can't easily hit a resource operation early on. Build corvettes in case your opponent tries fighters. You don't need a second resourcing operation until after your first pop-cap upgrade, so building corvettes is an effective way to limit any early game conflict. Don't ever build fighters, because you simply can't take on the mothership that early. Go from corvettes to destroyers, and mix in some platforms. Don't build as many platforms as you would in a longer game, though, because mobility becomes more important on smaller maps (its true, even if it sounds counter-intuitive). This game should end with destroyers.
Large map with medium asteroid groupings, 1vs1: Corvettes are an absolute must in this game. You have no choice but to expand to a second resource operation in the early game, but the map is too large for a bomber assault on your opponent. By the time they would arrive at your opponent's resource operation, any reasonable opponent would already have defenses in place. Use your corvettes to guard your second resourcing operation until you can position platforms there. Use platforms alone to guard your mothership. No one can succeed in the early game on such a map, so optimizing research and build capacity is essential. Get a decent fleet of destroyers and then a lot of battlecruisers. This game is moderately defensive. Use whatever offensive strategy seems useful at the time to defeat your opponent. Resource operations are vulnerable in the late game, so building a late game fast strike force of bombers can be very effective, and they double as anti-subsystem ships.
Large map with large asteroid groupings, 1vs1: This is the ultimate defensive game (in 1vs1). The first resourcing operation you have can last you for a while, but all you want to build is platforms in the beginning. Move them to the next place you want to resource from once you start building resourcers to harvest there, and make sure you always have the necessary forces to defend every place you hold. Hyperspace inhibitors are very important, and you should position your ships with inhibitors in a manner that prevents the enemy from getting anywhere near your mothership. Large fleet conflicts are bound to happen, so make sure you have your big ships as upgraded as possible. Finally, make sure you can destroy subsystems. Battlecruisers are helpless without them, and destroying your opponent's mothership ion cannon will often give you the win. Turn your mothership into a mobile weapons platform, and use it as an offensive weapon. Just stay away from your opponent's mothership with your own until their cannon is destroyed.
Great notes from you, Dostillevi. I think I wait for 4.3 and then do another trajectory traversal analysis and see if Hiigarans can still overpower by 405%.
FleetCommand could you please explain that "overpower by 405%"?
Because I mean that any mod, as well as the original games, is(?) balanced in that sense that equivalent ships have the same power. Or does it make sense that, e.g., a race_1_destroyer is considerably stronger than a race_2_destroyer? Also, I assume that this holds for build times too.
Can anyone of the Complex crew be so kind to give me some idea to what amount the mod really is overpowered and what constitutes unbalance in your mind?
Edit: Just watching my minelayer, building a vertical square of mines, I wonder why those mines, obviously, have a limited life time: roughly, building a mine row n, on row n-2 all mines disappear! What's that?

Try this,open the Missile folder and find the HGN_MINE file.
Go down to this line:
Change it to this:
That should make the mines last through an entire game.
strange...as wonderfull as it may be,i'm still...up here... floating...and no one even seems to notice.
Thank you, adamstrange! But, originally, I was interested whether this non-permanent feature was really intended by the Complex team?
Didn't the mines dissappear in normal HW2? I can't remember exactly...
Yes, mines disappear faster in normal HW2... Complex 4.3 available tomorrow
Yes!!! Now i think that my computer's lag might be entirely eradicated with the update!! All Hail Beghins, The Creator! :bow:
I found a very bad bug me thinks. I accidentally told my MS to jump too close to the megalith asteroid(actually about halfway in it) and I couldn't command her for the rest of the game. Couldn't get her to stop, put up her shield, nuthin. Didn't know if this was a complex glitch or a HW2 in general glitch. But I thought I'd mention it here since I was playing Cmplx
Other than that, nice improvement:tooth:
I found a bug. On Lonely Islands, the Vaygr capital ship is prone to hyperspace into a piece of debris and get destroyed at the beginning of the game. It happened to me, and then it happened to a CPU player. I don't know if this bug also affects the Hiigarans.
I like the radiation suggestions a page or two ago, but here's a really easy way to win against a Vaygr CPU:
Play against a single CPU on a map such as Bentus flat nebula, where there's a radiation cloud directly between you and the enemy. When I tried this the CPU built up a strike force, sent it directly towards me and they all perished before they could even reach me. They did this again, and again and again, and I never got attacked once. I built up a nice fleet, hyperspaced in and took out all the ships it had, but took pity and left the enemy MS, a destroyer and two resource collectors. It then got stuck in a loop of using the RU it had to build a 3rd collector, which it sent to the next nearest asteroid cluster, in a radiation cloud. It did this again and again and got nowhere because it was just wasting its RU. It also couldn't get to the megalith, also in a nebula radiation cloud thing.
So perhaps beghins, could you teach the enemy AI what nebulae do, and maybe give the Vaygr some anti-radiation field upgrades like the Hiigarans do? They can't even put anti-radiation subsystems on their carriers.
Another thought: I was discussing missile frigates with my friend, and we came to the conclusion that their missiles are too accurate vs strike craft. Its very difficult to assault a group of missile frigates with strike craft as it stands right now, and that doesn't really make sense to me. There's really no need for flak frigates because missile frigates can kill the fighters themselves. I'd recommend reducing the accuracy of the missile frigates vs strike craft (fighters and corvettes) to about 75% of what it is now.
Comple 4.3 available.
I've considered and fixed a lot of improvements and bugs above, thanks.
is there any chance you could upload this to www.filefront.com?
Your download seems corrupted. I can't finish it. The one time I did, it said the .big file was corrupted. But then again, I've been having internet trouble all day. Just thought I'd let you know about a potential problem.
Zip is ok. Site is congested. Use resumable download manager for connection resets.
Thanks Beghins!
I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but with 4.2 and 4.3 my game crashes about an hour after I start playing. Up until then, there are no performance problems or glitches. The first part of the error log for the last crash is:

Did you set your hw2.log to read-only? Also, do you have the latest video drivers for your card?
Yes to both. My log file is read only and my Nvidia GeForce 5200 drivers are the latest.
my roommate has had an issue similar to Gillligann's, that his computer occasionally crashes durning gameplay, and also occasionally we lose our connection to each other during multiplayer games. I dunno if this is a mod issue or not though.
My thought is that the crash is in some way related to the mod, since I've played vanilla Homeworld and various mods for a long time now with no similarly consistent crashes. While running this mod, every game I've played has crashed to desktop approximately one hour after the game starts.
A couple questions:
1. What do resource megaliths do? Do I just capture it and it generates RUs?
2. What can I do with the shuttle other than watch it get blown up?
Your problem sounds like your hardware is overheating. I had the same thing happen to me when the fan died on my video card. If you have any temperature monitoring software for your motherboard/cpu/gpu then run it to see if you are overheating anything (the mod adds a lot so it increases the load on your system).
Resource Megaliths not only have to be captured, but you must dock up to 10 Resource Collectors with them. You will recieve 1,000 RU's per RC (to a total of 10,000) per year from the Megalith (the RC's stay docked the entire time).
2. RTFM. It's a feature still in the conceptual stages... To quote the manual:
Shuttle unit is not complete (it is buildable but doesn't work), it has been thought as an heavy transport and may be it will be available in Complex 5.0;
real time cinematic works only for the Hiigaran race and may have some bugs, they will be fixed in Complex 5"
So, yah, don't bother with it right now.
I still get a crash when creating a new character and trying to change the options or clicking the "Gameplay" tab in the options menu. Ya might try looking at the formatting for the Gameplay section of the default player script.
Loved 4.2 - vast improvement - icons are great - game setup options for resourcing and RUs are great. Would personally like even more setup options (eg. carrier-only games, start with other types of ship) but that's not essential. Downloading 4.3 now. Thanks for getting me more fun out of a game I'd long discarded
If you're interested, I just finished my 2nd Complex battle on a 2-player map called Foundry. It was me (Hiigaran) against the CPU (Vaygr). It lasted 6.5 hours, I harvested 752806 RUs (CPU 843635), I built 490 ships (CPU 686) and killed 557 (CPU 310) ... shortly it was a so exciting and amazing battle, but it was enormous, huge too... Note that it was on Complex 4.2. Some questions and notes I have, follow:
- My fully researched battlecruisers seemed only be willing to hyper-jump if they're "in the mood", although the hyperspace sub-modules were ok (and the research station was alive at that time). And, if they did, in most cases, the hyperspace sequence was halted, leaving the ship somewhere in no-mans-land.
- Battlecruiser cloaking, especially the switching between on and off, doesn't always work.
- What actually happens, when my research ship gets killed (as it was the case in the last hour)? Are there also technologies gone, e.g. the hyperspace or the cloak ability already installed in a cruiser?
- Although my research ship - as mentioned - was killed in the end, I could research the 5/6 recruiting crew (but nothing else)!? I re-built it, but the old research options, which remained before the killing, were gone. Can the core re-activate research or do I have to re-build research divisions and start from scratch ?
- Assigned control groups have gone lost.
- The viper missiles behave rather unusual too: sometimes they accept an attack command, sometimes they do not.
- I built the so-called core, but what does it do? (Re-build the momship in case that it is killed?)
- Occasionally, some battlecruisers could be clicked, but they refused to move, although their engines were fine.
- How many sub-modules can be built in a battlecruiser or in the momship?
- Generally, as you've probably noticed, the sub-module management confuses me, since the availability appears to depend on complex connections that I have not completely understood yet.
- Frigates, again completely strengthened, usually are killed within seconds by an enemy cruiser. I mean, I lost about 20 marine frigates... :-(
- Don't know what to do with destroyers: too slow for fighters, to weak for cruisers (again: even if they are fully armed!)
- I was too stupid to figure out how to un-lock the repair feature of collectors (but I think, I had it in my first game).
- The re-load of some in-between game savings doesn't work (HW2 and with it the whole PC freezes).
- Often the re-load of in-between game savings resulted in a complete dark map (where ships could be hardly seen). Workaround: save and re-reload and colours are back again.
- May I politely ask for a Complex icon - that would be great?!
Sorry if that was a little long, but, hopefully, it may be useful for all of us. Finally, please have my usual thanks too. I start getting familiar with your work and it is pure fun! Even if there are things I do not understand and/or some bugs too. Looking forward to your feedback if you find some time, which would be great.
To have access to the researches you'd need to rebuild all the required research modules on the research station.
To get the resourcer repair, you need a repair module on one of your ships and the necessary research module.
I generally use Destroyers for anti corvette/frigate maneivers, and as help with cpaitals. Ion Destroyers are what you want to take on Capitals, tho.
Mothership can build 4 module (note this include the Platform Control Module AS WELL AS the stuff in the modules sectiuon) as well as all build module (except for the platform control module).
The only module interdependencies are as follows:
Mothership Defense Field:
Requires Defense Control Module
Mothership Heavy Ion Cannon:
Requires Attack Control Module
So if you want BOTH the Defense field and Ion Cannon, you will have to build Def. Control, Att. Control, Def. Shield, Ion Cannon; This will use ALL slots on mothership, so you'll have to buill all others on Carrier/Shipyard. (please note you CAN recycle modules)
Mothership also has another unique module... Power Disruptor. Not sure about requirements, but it's nice if you don't want the Def. Shield/Ion Cannon combo.
BC can build 2 modules.
As for youyr BC's not hypering, were they ALL in range of a hyper module,a dn did you have enough RU's to jump? Sounds odd to me... haven't experienced that, but then I don't build BC's much... My friend does tho.
Yesm viper missiles behave erratically for me in 4.2. They'll take an attack command but sometimes decide to attack something else...
I'll look into making an icon for Complex. Does Complex have a logo or anything yet?
That's not true. The mothership has 4 modules, plus a seperate spot for the ion cannon and a seperate slot for the defense field.
The power disruptor is nice, but I find its better to have the repair module on the mothership. Better to keep your own forces in the fight.
I take back what I said about expert AI being easy. They used to be in earlier versions, but with Complex 4.2 and 4.3, the AI is relentless. I underestimated it in a 1 on 1 after I had dominated it in the early game, and it came back to crush me later on. It definitely cheats to do this, and I made the mistake of thinking that taking out its resourcing operations repeatedly would slow it down. In particular, it used a variety of Vaygr corvettes, and I have yet to find a Hiigaran ship that can effectively stop them. I expected it to go for frigates so I built sniper frigates, but instead it didn't attack with anything except corvettes and fighters for over an hour. Once it switched to frigates, though, destroyers and battlecruisers came very soon after. I have to go back and try this again, because its an excellent challenge and the AI plays very well. I just wish I could produce fleets as insanely fast as the AI does.
Bombers were by far the most effective ship I could build. Shiry fighters died too quickly, and they seem to have trouble targeting corvettes.. from what I saw this has something to do with the way they fly around.. the Shiry's can't get the corvettes in their sights very well. Intruders seemed almost pointless. They were both weak and had horrible accuracy. Bombers were much more effective at killing corvettes than the intruders were, which doesn't make much sense, since intruders are anti-corvette/frigate.
Anyway, it was a fun and surprising game, and I'll be doing it again soon.
I've taken a look at my video card and temperature and it seems to be doing fine. I tested some more with the mod, and noticed that if I save right before the hourly crash, then reload after the crash, the game will still crash at the same point. For example, if I save 2 minutes before a crash and reload, the reloaded game will crash in just 2 minutes. Also, when I reload I get a different background, something which hasn't happened in vanilla Homeworld or other mods. Any ideas?Your problem sounds like your hardware is overheating. I had the same thing happen to me when the fan died on my video card. If you have any temperature monitoring software for your motherboard/cpu/gpu then run it to see if you are overheating anything (the mod adds a lot so it increases the load on your system).
Thanks for the info, Dostillevi. I thought those used slots ^_^ Now I can build a better Mothership!
Eh... if THAT'S the case... I dunno. I've had games go over 3 hours and others have had them go longer. Mmmm.... I don't really know what could be causing that sort of crash... Can you post one of your saves so we can take a look at it?
I wish I could post it, but I don't seem to have the ability to post attachments to the forum... maybe its because I only recently registered.
Gillligann, try disabling anti-virus software. It may or may not help. Also try closing as many applications as possible before playing the game. Update windows fully, and get the latest drivers for everything (particularly sound). I believe sound drivers are often overlooked when such issues occur.
All my drivers and whatnot are updated, and I've tried it without virus software running. I tried reinstalling Homeworld from scratch, then adding the mod fresh, but I still get a crash about one hour into it. This only seems to happen with Complex 4.0 and later though. I tried Complex 3.0 and that never crashed well beyond one hour. Whatever the problem is, I'm thinking its something that was introduced between the two versions.
Complex Icon Pak:
Lemme know what you think ^_^
Notes on my first match with 4.3:
I was Higgy versus one Hard Higgy.
Enemy was rather tactical, building up forces and waiting for me to leave base to attack my base... Was a hard fight for a while.
NOTE: Enemy at one point hypered a fleet into my base. This included their RESEARCH SHIP. WTH?!
Viper Missiles seem broken. Sometimes they work great, and sometimes they can't hit their target (keep going over the top or whatnot) and sometimes when they hit they do little to no dammage...
If you create Viper missiles with your mothership you can NEVER hyper it again. It will keep respawining Vipers EVEN IF THE PLATFORM MODULE IS DESTROYED/RECYCLED! The mothership will NOT hyper if it's in the process of respawning Vipers, and at max capacity (12) this takes a LONG time to respawn them all. I told my Mothership to hyper but it just sat there while respawning Vipers, getting EATEN ALIVE by the swarms of bombers and stuff the enemy had on it. It did not fire back, and I couldn't select the mothership to cancel the jump. I had to wait for the vipers to respawn and let it hyper before I got control again. This was VERY annoying, as it almost cost me my Mothership AND extended the game for at least 30 min if not an hour. Bu, yah, other than that it was good.
More later...
Try stay in dock from launch manager?
my recommendation for icons is to avoid text if at all possible. It would be better to create a variation of the default homeworld icon, or something, to represent homeworld complex.
I'll try stay in dock. Never thought about that ^_^
Yah, I was trying to avoid text, since it's rather hard to do on an icon, but Complex doesn't really have a logo or anything... Hmmm.....

fir e@% O& N o!# Q The Greentown Bus'NEQE, Volume 6, Issue 8 " u paper for the people" Auguvt 1999 First % GreentowPnu mp Fest Set for Sept. 18 What is a Pump Fest? Well, so f& as we how this is a totally new idea, never held by any other community. Members of Greentown Main Street Association will be inventing it as they go along. The event evolved from the fall festivals held the past two years, but with expanded hours and a new theme. It fulfills one of the goals of the Main Street Association, " TO provide a community activity which will enhance the quality of life for residents of Greentown and the surrounding community". Any profit in revenue will go to the Main Street Association. The theme was inspired by memories of the Town Pump which once stood at the northwest corner of the intersection of Main and Meridian Streets. The pump was considered important enough to be one of the illustrations featured on the Sesquicentennial afghan. In the days when coming into town to do the weekly shopping was a family event, children would sometimes be told, " We'll all meet at the pump". Colleen Ladd and her sister Eileen Collins remember playing around the pump and having fun splashing water on other children. Colleen says, " You just couldn't pass the pump without giving the handle a pump." Dan Lamb says, " It was the best water I have ever tasted." Ruby Johnson, who lived on Uncle Tom St. at the time, says, " Every time we came uptown, we would get a drink of water from the pump. The water was so nice and cold." Lester Reed remembers a cup on a hook, ' the cup attached with a chain. The event is planned for the downtown area on North Meridian Street on September 18 from 9: 00 AM to 6: OO PM. In case of rain, it will be held in the new 4- H Pavilion at the Several features are planned for this year's Pump Fest such as crafts, flea market, food, entertainment, children's activities, pie baking contest and auction, drawing for merchandise, COmMunity wide yard sales, information on Greentown Glass, with more attractions in the works. ' A complete schedule will be published in the September Grapevine, which will be published on August 3 1. fairgrounds. - Demolition of Properties Ordered A public hearing was held at the Greentown City Building on July 13 on the subject of three properties which Bill Bagby has declared in need of demolition. The properties are a house at 129 West Grant Street, a garage at 322 West Main Street and a house and bam at 319 West Main Street. h4r. Bagby has been hired by the town as inspector. Bids were received for depolition of properties- by Banner Wrecking and Down Under Excavating. The bids were taken under advisement. The owner of all three properties, Joan Beheler, was present. It was noted that the shed or garage at 322 West Main Street is down but that debris remains. The Council voted to give Mrs. Beheler 30 days to clear debis from the property.' Mrs. Beheler stated that it is her intention to demolish the buildings at 129 West Grant and 3 19 West Main. The council gave her 90 days to comply with the demolition order. Mr. Bagby stated that the 90 day deadline will be October 12,1999, and that he will set a meeting date to determine if the owner has complied with the order. u 3 19 West Main Street UY West Grant Street Many Styles and Uses of Aprons to be Presented Jean Simpson asks, " What do Israel htmyer, Emery Trott, Gus Miller, and Spid Caldwell have in common?" She will reveal the answer in her program, " With Strings Attached", which will be presented Thursday, September 2 at approximately 6: 30 p. m. in the Greentown Public Library Community Room. Jean will have examples of aprons from different time periods and for diEerent uses. She will take the listener back to the farm of " Grandma's'' day and paint apicture of the housewife and the many uses her apron saw. The program is sponsored by the Greentown Historical Society.

Zoning Appeals Board Approves Special Use Permit For Mobile Estates First Step in Expansion Process The Greentown Board of Zoning Appeals approved on July 13 a special use permit requested by The Heritage Group, Elkhart, Indiana, for a 25 lot expansion of Greentown Mobile Estates. Joseph Letherman from Heritage Group stated that most of the lots will be occupied by single- wide manufactured homes 14- 16' wide and up to 80' long. The lot sizes will be 50 x 121'. Rick Krieg and Jay Sigler were present to concerns about the expansion. Krieg stated that the addition would be up against his back yard and that he was concerned about the increased traffic and lights. Sigler said there are drainage problems now and is concerned about additional housing in the area. Letherman said Heritage would offer to provide a greenbelt on the west side and " would be glad to sit down with folks or send them copies of the landscape plans". The special use permit is only the first in a series of requirements before construction can begin. The project is . contingent on the purchase and annexation of a property on the west of the present Estates. Heritage is also seeking a variance from the Howard County Drainage Board for a 45' set back fiom the ditch west of the present I Estates instead of the required 75'. Heritage Group also plans to clean up the ditch and stabilize the bank.

An increasing number of people watch the Super Bowl for the diversions surrounding the actual game, such as the pregame show, the halftime show and, of course, those ridiculously overpriced commercials.
The Retail Advertising and Marketing Association gives us this done-as-a-society stat from 2012's Super Bowl: More than 25 percent of viewers said that the most important aspect of the Super Bowl is the commercials. In 2006, that number was only 15.3 percent.
It ain't rocket surgery to recognize this as a significant trend that's likely to grow, while the on-the-field play continues to fade further into the background.
This article is for those of you at the Super Bowl party who are actually watching the game, holding in bodily fluids until play is suspended for the latest nauseatingly cute talking baby commercial. It's all about the play on the field, because without that, none of the other stuff would exist.
No. 5: Super Bowl XXXII - Jan. 25, 1998, in San Diego
In order to truly grasp the significance of this game, you need to remember that until Super Bowl XXXII against the Packers, John Elway and the Denver Broncos had lost three previous Super Bowls, including a 55-10 disgrace against Joe Montana and the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV.
The play: It's a tie game, 17-17, in the third quarter. The Broncos face third-and-six from the Packers' 12. Elway drops back to pass. Finding no one open he decides to run.
A burst of speed reminiscent of his younger days propels Elway toward the first-down marker, but he's on a collision course with Green Bay's LeRoy Butler. Elway dives for the first down; Butler dives for Elway. The ensuing collision launches Elway into a chopper-blade-like spin, but his heroic effort gives the Broncos a first down. They go on to win the game 31-24.
No. 4: Super Bowl XXV - Jan. 27, 1991, in Tampa, Fla.
