When at home, I'm using my girlfriend's broken-down, seven year old comp over a crappy dialup connection to connect to the internet (over AOL! insert banned vomit face here). My own computer is working ok now, except for the modem which is nonfunctional for some reason.
I just moved out of the dorms and into a new apartment. I'm sleeping on an air mattress and I have no furniture whatsoever. My comp is sitting on the floor, next to a big pile of mostly clean laundry. But beds will be delivered today (at last!) and maybe I'll even have a computer desk before too long. (Oh, the luxury!) Assembly required on all this, of course 
And vincible will bind metal to wood, wood to metal, and chant arcane spells in a tongue never heard today (at least not in polite company), and through sheer force of will he will bring order from chaos. And soon, the sacred Artifact of Dell shall rise from the stench below to sit, pristine, above the disorder. Only then, when all is ready, will vincible end his long exile from the Metaverse, to strike with renewed fury at the foes of the Fellowship.

Dang, why do I keep offering the blue pill.
| |

Thanks, Rick!
Sorry to hear you're still having those CTD issues. 
Yes, we've got some really active players! I think things will pick up with the rest of us now that school's coming back and vacations are ending.
| |
|
Really busy day at work...probably will be gone the rest of the day. 
Happy gaming!
| |
|
| I'll take it. It may nab me some free drinks at the Pony. |
|
Gerakken, you may not have remembered but you were a great encouragement to us when we were still finding our way around as the White Council. Truely, the Fellowship extends to you our thanks.

Wow, more drama on the Meta. But the GCCG is one sensitive topic that I better steer clear of. 
Have you all seen the chat statistics? V interesting.
| |
|
Yes, Ray - everyone has been talking about the way you talk about the GCCG

Ah Wombat, one of my fav chatting partners, according to the chat stats. 
Must be that period of time where we were discussing the themes vs localities war.

vincible - unfortunately, that's my worry too. Witness the Diablo situation, when everytime a player devised a brilliant new tactic, the devs would nerf the skills down to 'level the playing field'. The more 'rules' you put around a community, the more you stifle fun and fresh development.
Ray - really? Must check those stats in more detail! If you've missed some of the latest posts, we have you figured as an Agent of the Matrix - the chat logs prove it! The resistance is circulating your poster:
...WANTED..
.. ..
.AGENT RAY.

..BOUNTY..

| I'm not surprised by the latest Metaverse scandal--it's been clear for a long long time that Stardock wants us to play the game in the way that they think is most fun, rather than the way we think is most fun. |
|
Well, I guess there are folks who enjoy smelling the roses, ringing all the bells, blowing all the whistles before they churn out Excaliburs for the final kill.
| |
|
No worries, Nand1. We will make that public announcement in the Halls.
BTW, the VOMIT Smiley is a monopoly of the ANZACs and their circulation is strictly controlled.
Translation - Cari doesn't like us to use it.
| |

You guys know what this reminds me of? MIB!
The Men in Black empire. Protectors of friendly aliens. Exterminators of hostile ones.
| |
|
| Lets all gang up against GROSS... |
|
JUST a moment!
The Jedi aren't planning on going to war with GROSS anytime soon. Although our empires are probably best described as "neutral" to each other, we've built up a good rapport with a few of the individuals, particularly Kit, Gerakken and the Southern Seas bunch. On days when Altarians aren't mentioned, even EBZ is friendly.
We appreciate our good relations with FOTR and many of the ANZACs. Y'all have some good people over there. But we're NOT getting dragged into a three-way alliance that involves a declaration of war against GROSS. Settling personal issues in the ring or with prose is one thing. War is something else again.
Any declaration would have to go through a vote of the Jedi Council or simply be decided by Yoda - take it up with him before you speak for us.
Side note: In my last game, I renamed all of the default empires but kept the default alignments. Drengin became GROSS, Altarians were FOTR, the Torians became MWC, the Yor became Canadians and the Arceans became the Euros. Here's how we know it was fiction: Fellowship of the Ring was a pipsqueak empire that went down early to GROSS, GROSS was taken out third, and the Euros and Canadians lasted nearly until the end of the game!
Although GROSS did have a long, bloody battle with the MWC. THAT made sense.
Maybe next time, I'll replace the Euros with ANZAC.

. I forgot to put to delete the old version of it in the readme, so if you've downloaded the new version with pictures, please do so.
