Last I heard, Ming will be out of town this weekend. So gaming will occur elsewhere.

When you said you had a dinner on Friday, fearing that there would be no one to play, I agreed to play with the boys in Ming's stead.

Now that you're avail Fri., I'll see if I can get out of it, but no promises. I'll post here later tomorrow.

I should be free both Friday and Saturday nights, although not until later than usual, probably 9:00-9:30 Eastern.

rah · April 13, 2001, 14:21

90% sure I can get out of my previous commitment for tonight. Will Be looking or posting later.

My buddy just called. I sounded a little sick

Since he has a real young daughter at home, he had no problem with me keeping my germs at home.

They did have enough guys that my lack of participation would not cause problems, so I have no guilt.

Bring it.

Rich

I should be home and on-line around 6:30-7:00 central time.

War4ever · April 13, 2001, 18:34

Well this is perfect...... i just have to boot to the store and then we can rev this puppy up......

For us computer-challenged types, could someone please detail what we need to make this work? I can buy equipment, I can D/L software. I just can't tell what all is required. Some recommended items would help, too, so that I don't buy junk.

rah · April 14, 2001, 02:43

Read my earlier posts for requirements.
Originally i bought a headset for 30 bucks, but it sucked.
went out and bought a cheap headset for 9 bucks and it workded fine.
if you have a mic and speackers and icq v2000b, you're ready to go.

Tim,
What Happened?

rah · April 17, 2001, 18:18

The search for Red War4ever.

Just wondering what happened the other night.

Rich

Hydey · April 17, 2001, 18:29

I have a headset with mike so I wonder if it works for me?

rah · April 18, 2001, 08:26

if you have the new version it should.

On my contact list when the person is online, people that are enabled have a little phone next to their name.

er... slight miscalculation of beers which led to a dominoes effect.....

Me under influences and a collapsed lever on my computer table caused my cd tower to tumble three feet onto hard concrete

needless to say my hard drive was screwed......

needless to say i put a new tower on the floor where it can no longer hurt itself.

I have carpet but its concrete under that...... i broke a mirror shaped as a Roman Tablet with the names of conquered cities etched in it as well

Twas not a good night........ next game i will cap the amount of beer i drink to under 15

Tim, of the sheepishly embarassed Horde

However tonite i am off to the canuckleheads game against the AVS..... Go Canucks go!!

BTW please tell berz it wasnt because he took two cities..... he had no chance at the rest of my civ

rah · April 19, 2001, 08:49

ROTFLMAO,
Yes, we discussed and dismissed that possiblity in about 3 seconds. And as always, we all actually do get concerned when someone disappears like that. Even stranger since we were on ICQ phone and all of a sudden you were just gone and then we got the message that the game had lost connection. We did get a sub for you so we could play a little longer.

Sorry to hear about the hardware problems. Hope it wasn't expensive.

Yes, a limit on the beers is probably a good idea. HAHAHAHAHHA

Rich.
At least you didn't pull a Ming and fall asleep. It would have been hilarious if I heard you snoring over ICQ Phone.

Well, if I had been on ICQ phone, at least you could have tried to wake me up instead of just wondering why my turn was taking so long

rah · April 19, 2001, 11:02

If slapping you around doesn't wake you up, I doubt whispering in your ear would do any good.

Rich

Ming · April 19, 2001, 11:36

Uhhhh... good point

Bird · April 20, 2001, 00:56

LOL. If their leader is constantly, shall we say, impaired, the horde will probably rise up and have a coup d'etat. Boann was a fine sub, though. I think she took 5 or 6 cities off of Berz. Boy was he complaining.

War4ever · April 20, 2001, 19:09

at least someone can effectively lead the horde...... i am a clumsy oaf

Well the NZ sheep don't look that much better than Aussie wives...it's not that much different.

rah · April 30, 2001, 08:27

, Yes when Ming told me he was testing it with you, I laughed so hard, I almost fell out of my chair.

On the positive side though, Since you both have the same problem, there is a chance that someone else can replicate it and maybe figure out what is going wrong. Maybe it's time to check out the ICQ web site and see if anyone else is experiencing this.

Rich

Ming · April 30, 2001, 09:04

It is nice to know that somebody has the same problem. I will check out the ICQ site to see if this is a problem that they know an easy answer to.

cavebear · April 30, 2001, 13:22

I wonder if it is something that your IP has to support for outgoing chat?

Ming · April 30, 2001, 13:56

Outgoing wasn't the problem... Rah and war4ever could hear me fine... I just couldn't hear anything in return

I'm switching over ISP's this week, so if there is a problem on that end, I will find out quick
