My wife actually called me from the scene and I was only a few minutes from there, so I went to the accident. It really did freak me out. They hadn't gotten my mother-in-law out yet and the firemen were trying to contain the gasoline that was leaking into the street. My wife and baby were in an ambulance and the cops were giving the driver a field sobriety test. The driver was really beligerent. He was swearing at my mother-in-law while she was laying in the car (she was trapped and they had to cut her out), calling her a bitch. He also was smacking at my baby who was in my wife's arms. I'm glad I wasn't there for that.

I'm looking forward to seeing the jerk in court.

Ray, maybe they haven't implemented Fleet Admiral yet.

I hope it's not like 500,000 points!

I just reinstalled the bonus pack and I can now build excaliburs. The install of 1.10 had wiped it out somehow. I think I'll do a complete reinstall to be safe.

#2078 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 10/1/2003 10:57:44 AM

I don't think I would have controlled myself if I were in your shoes and at the scene, Theoden.

I would most surely be charged with assault at the very least.

Could be 400k if scores are doubled. RA 50k, VA 100k, A 200k - so FA could be 400k.
I was hoping that it would be 100k incremental instead.

Hell hath no fury like a man whose family has been threatened and messed with. Try not to kill him cause then they'll put YOU in jail. Hopefully they will do there job and get him for attempted manslaughter and gross negligence and then lock the $%$&(&@@# in jail. Sorry but this is too close to home for me.

DarkHobbit
Male Halfling Procurer

DarkHobbit is generally easy going and friendly, quick to laugh and free with gifts. Unfortunately those gifts are sometimes still claimed by others which tends to lead to disagreements. His most vigorous exercise is running away from trouble which he does often enough to remain small enough to hide in his favorite shadows. He does have some strong beliefs which he will fiercly defend but recognizes others have their own opinions and embraces any resulting verbal duelling with pleasure. He joined the Fellowship to help discard the unfortunate label of 'evil' he has received, mostly from misguided acquaintances who just happened to lose a coin purse or such while he was nearby and since he is too passive to be a pirate.

#2082 by Veteran TheQuack - 10/1/2003 11:23:51 AM

That asshole's behaviour gets my blood boiling just reading about it.

When he ends up in court, and gets all his "character witnesses" to show up and say what a great guy he is, just make sure someone reminds him of his stunts after the accident.

Just be glad everyone's alive, and you got the chance to be there for them when they needed you. There's nothing worse than hearing about something like that over the phone when you're sitting in another state and able to do sweet f***-all about it.

#2083 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 10/1/2003 11:44:52 AM

To be honest with you, I was so concerned with my wife and baby I didn't even see the drunk bastard. Luckily the cops hauled him away before I found out about his post-accident behavior.

Let him bring "character witnesses"...he was drunk (twice the legal limit) at 7:30 PM on a Monday night and hit a car with a baby in it. Not to mention my mother-in-law is retired from the police department (she worked in Records...we had cops visiting her in the ER). That pretty much tells about his character. There were a lot of witnesses to the accident and his behavior as well.

DarkHobbit, I posted your backstory on the page (

Link) I especially like the Procurer class. Very politically correct!

Best of luck to you and your family Theoden... Hopefully that drunkard gets his just desserts, and quick.

Thanks

#2086 by Veteran vincible - 10/1/2003 12:57:13 PM

Wow. Drunk drivers are scum. Drunk drivers who slap at babies... that's way beyond scum.

At least your family is all safe. Best of luck to you and to them.

#2087 by Veteran Primipilus Alexus - 10/1/2003 1:01:19 PM

I agree about the reprehensible behaviour of the other party - just glad you and yours are basically OK.

Alex

#2088 by Citizen WileyCoyote - 10/1/2003 1:04:45 PM

Hey Guys,
Is there a document somewhere that describes how your total metaverse score is calculated? My last 3 submitts have all been around 10k but more total score only goes up by 2or3k each time. Just curious if there is something Im doing wrong here.

thanks

#2089 by Veteran Primipilus Alexus - 10/1/2003 1:16:56 PM

around 10k but more total score only goes up by 2or3k each

Divide by the square root of the number of games over the past 30 days. You've submitted 7 games so it should be somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of the score...

Alex

#2090 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 10/1/2003 1:29:30 PM

Wiley,

Check out the FAQ section on the Fellowship webpage. It explains the scoring method, plus explains the monthly blocks.

Theoden, glad everyone is OK and hope everyone recovers soon.

Congrats to FOTR for 2 million. When GROSS got 1 million before anyone else, I was determined to try to help FOTR read 2 million first so this is very sweet. OK, it's off to 3 million for the FOTR.

Ray congrats on 300k in the pp. Sorry that isn't enough for fleet admiral so guess you will have to keep playing until you get 400k [insert visual image of the FOTR empire dancing happily and cheering, "Go Ray"

Welcome new members. We are happy to provide information and share experience to help you become better players and enjoy the game more. Have fun.

Rick

PS How many FOTR members are routinely play maso now?

#2092 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 10/1/2003 2:21:09 PM

Rick,

I looked over the empire stats and it looks like:

~Ray the Wanderer
~ricbayer
~vincible
~Lothmorg the Red
~Matthew Downie
~Fatty Bolger (but not currently - looks like he scaled back to Crippling)
~Darkhold (although he's getting anomalous scores like crazy!)

If I've left anyone off, please forgive me. I also noticed that we have a very large number of Painful and above players.

#2093 by Veteran vincible - 10/1/2003 2:28:58 PM

Good job with the Small game, Rick. And congrats on getting yourself back into third place.

Hopefully I can give you some competitition for that bronze medal soon.

#2094 by Veteran idleprocess - 10/1/2003 2:45:29 PM

Idle, are you going to explain posts 2051 and 2052?Btw I think you have one of the best names on this forum.

Doh!

OK, so I was trying to catch up with the Balrog and I got to the end of the page and it was on post 1999. I thought, "Cool, I can be 2k!" Well, not really, see, after I posted my 'yipee 2k post' I realised there was another page after that. :blushes:

So :hot: :cold: are just edited masks of my embarassment

Theoden, thank you for the maso info. I just got done disagreeing with LDiCesare in another thread when he said that maso tiny is easy. IMO, no maso is "easy". For me, every maso at any size is harder than sub-maso at any size. Please, don't anyone go telling Frogboy that maso is "easy".

.

But, maso is a blast even though I never dominate. It is a brand new game for me compared to sub-maso and since the scoring is generous, I no longer feel the need to research the entire tech tree (hitting the "enter key" for points gets old). I get a major challenge on maso just playing to win before my opponents win . . . and sometimes it is very close.

Good job with the Small game, Rick. And congrats on getting yourself back into third place.Hopefully I can give you some competitition for that bronze medal soon.

Thanks vinicible. On the small game, the Alexians were in the next quadrant and researched diplo translators. Life was good.

. It seems, that having a minor get diplo trans is a really big help in maso but having a major get it means you are in for a rough road. Third place is a hot seat with Solitair and others and I would like to see another gold ring near me so good luck knocking out those big maso games.

Rick

My brief experience with Maso proved that it's not easy. Hell, it's not even qualified to be called "hard". I would say the word to describe it would be "Masochistic"...oh...wait...

#2097 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 10/1/2003 4:23:45 PM

Goin home. Goodnight all!

#2098 by Citizen Wild Wombat - 10/1/2003 6:10:37 PM

Mate - take care of that family of yours! I saw your post above about your wife feeling worse - it often happens that soft tissue bruising comes out later; car accident victims walk away from the scene feeling OK and feel worse for 2-3 AFTER the accident so hopefully that's all it is. Forget the bloody game - go cherish the family - best wishes to you and yours.

#2099 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 10/1/2003 9:28:28 PM

Agree with Wombie. Involvement in an accident is a traumatic experience. With her mom in hospital as well, your wife would really need you to be around her for support. Do spend more time with her.

We'll take care of things over here.
