Lets start this tonight (Wednesday) while I'm sober and finbar is busy corecting my spelling on the OT.

I have plenty of beer finbar, I just don't drink by myself at home, I will be home all Wednesday Night so I will be sober.

If you wish to fly down I will gladly buy some beer for us to drink.

Unless you are one of those poofy wine drinkers.

finbar · October 17, 2000, 22:42

Worse than that, Hydey, I only drink imported beer. When I drink beer. VB and Foster's are slops. Cascade and Cooper's are tolerable.

Has LOWANG shown up late for role call? LOWANG is kicking his computer because ICQ wouldn't connect all wednesday!! WHY? WHYYYYYY?

Always the way! LOWANG/Atomic Dogg was ready for a game last night yet could not make contact with the competition.

I was getting right into Friday night's game. Would like to play with double production for a faster moving game but i agree that double movement sucks ass.

October 19, 2000, 02:13

Lowang, don't worry, we didn't start that game. We played the "nofinbar" game (and oldie but a goodie, damn you Raz) instead.

One thing some of us would like you to do however is get a more reliable connection

And no more invites for your waifs and strays without vetting by Hydey first

What I'd really like to do is put some decent time into my game with the skii bum, and hopefully get a result, before he flees to the Northern Hemisphere.

OK OK, there's no misinterpreting you horse, I wasn't to know that dooghan's connection would be so bad. I've hosted a couple of games with the kid and didn't have a lot of probs. If you dont want him to play then he wont play.

As for my connection, its supposed to be a 56K, 24-7 connection with no limits. What they didn't tell me was that they might cut me off for the fun of it with no notice. I don't usually get cut off for at least 8 hours or so, but unfortunately on Friday I got cut off twice in two hours. They work in mysterious ways but on paper i shouldn't get cut off at all.

If you know of a better 24 hour server with no strings for less than $35 a month please let me know AH, otherwise get off my back. If you want to lend me your credit card number so I can get cable installed.....feel free bro!

I use the big 150 plan from Telstra. Sure its not unlimited but you would have to be online for more than 5 hours per day, 7 days a week to go over the limit. Its about $35per month. I've stuck with it because they are the phone carrier so no connection hassles. They are never going to run out of modems.

I'm sorry ,I forgot to tell everyone I am only available Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights now due to cricket commitments. I understand that only being abailable 4 nights a week to play civ is pisspoor but thats just how it is.

Ok we have finally commissioned our new units, and good old Little Johnie is coming to open them on Thursday, so hopefully the overtime wil lease back some what and I will be avaialble again.

So watch out all you top notch players, the king of the bad players is coming back....;.

October 22, 2000, 00:07

The Great Raz might be here tonight / this arvo if we get this going....

Now, you can't say that's not tempting
