Hello everyone.
I'm looking forward to get home tonight, and hopefully find the new update for AP, so I can start that gig game I've been talking about.
And when I saw Greldon's last post, I thought that well, I'll even contribute, a little considering my scores, to the objective he pointed. And then, just to check what was my last score, I had a look at my profile, and there is something strange in there: I'm pretty certain that last week I was something like 427th in metaverse. How come now I'm 394? I mean, that's good, but I haven't played in the last 10 days! If it continues like that, in some weeks I'll end up in the top 25, and my fake medal will become a real one at last! 
Is it possible that 30 persons posted losses and got their score lowered?
Anyway, I hope 1.2 comes out along with the AP update. And I hope the latter did not get postponed (even though I'd rather have something good later than something "incomplete", in terms of gameplay, right now). On the other hand, considering the time zones, even if it is ready today, there are chances I won't get it, depending on the hour it is uploaded.

There's most certainly a Metaverse-wide recalc going on. Recalcs always cause retired players to fall in the standings, since they are no longer contributing scores. It could also be the reason we mysteriously lost a whole game's score.

After the week I've had, I think it may be time to head over to the Pony for a very large drink. Or maybe several smaller ones... 
You with me, Terl?

| I guess it's always nice to be on the top, even if it is page 16... |

Considering I was way, way back at one point, I am happy. I know I will reach my "limit" after a while, as I do not play very often much above normal. I still make silly mistakes that seem to be hard to recover from at higher levels, which I would expect, no complaint, merely observations.

I would say I heartily agree. And with my day so far, after we have a few could we go knock around a few orcs and goblins? Stress relief... 
The game I have going now, I have battleships and no one else does and I am currently researching dreads...and, best of all, the stinking Altarians are directly south of me. Knock, knock... who's there?...pizza man...

Yes, lets knock down a few drinks, then knock down a few Altarians!
I am a little nervous about starting a new game since my last on still hasn't gotten submitted yet. I would like to see if Cari could work on it before I start a new one.

I think time goes slow through the entire workday!

Yes, it's amazing how fast time goes by when playing GalCiv!
Personally, I don't answer the question.

Good to see you again, Greldon!
| Any idea about what the problem is? |
|
No, I sent the game to Cari to see if she could figure it out. Everything went exactly the way it always does, except it doesn't show up in the Metaverse. Weird.

| Time does gow much slower at the end of the workday, does it not? |
|
Oh yes it dooooeeeeeessssssssssssssss

| "Are you going to play that stupid game all night?" Oh, BTW, "yes" is not the right answer. |

It does sound like an echo. I do hear something like that. I guess in some forum over the net wives keep exchanging their complains about us, thus the similarity of their observations on this subject, no matter where they are!
And indeed, Terl, Yes is not the right answer... Though once I tried, *without saying yes*, to explain why it was not a stupid game, and even quite challenging. It took about 5 to 15 minutes (I felt like it was 5 -- I was the only one talking -- she said half an hour) before she slammed the door while "saying" that I could do whatever I wanted, but "you better not wake me up when you come to bed". She had that Drengin look on her face, like when they say "puny human, we come to crush you". Needless to say, I saved and went to bed right away: he who knows when to fold lives to play another day
