Setting up IP Games XLII - Page 5

actually , i must confess it wasn't a computer issue.......

i was watching a movie and had icq phone going, i am not sure which dropped first the icq phone or the connection to the game.....

by the time i remmebered to look back.....(after a long silence on rahs end) i believe an hour had gone by

so my apologies, this one was completely my fault

rah · January 27, 2003, 11:05

Yes, being on ICQ phone during one of your drops always leads to a big DOH on my part. In the game, right after I get the "you have lost connection to War4" notification, I'll start asking over ICQ PHONE, "are you there War, are you there", needless to say, after you drop from the game, you've never been there.

DOH.

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 11:25

yeah they were showing some stuff on gangs of new york, and i started tuning in......then before you knew it i looked at the screen and saw the dropped message screen and of course the red flow was on icq phone etc.....

that wasn't the issue, cuz had i noticed it right then and there i could have rejoined, it was the

that did me in b/c i completely forgot i was playing you guys

FOCUS grasshopper.

Almost is correct.

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 14:04

I couldnt' let the poor computer take the blame this time

and no , its not quite as good as mings is it

Ming · January 27, 2003, 14:11

Hmmmm... I don't know about that. Passing out is one thing. FORGETING YOU ARE PLAYING A GAME while you watch TV is another

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 14:28

yeah i am a bit embarrassed

DrSpike · January 27, 2003, 14:32

You forgot you were playing whilst playing? How much hippie lettuce did you have for goodness sake?

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 17:21

well it wasn't just that, i had just given a hoot, then this program comes on with the real life history from the movie gangs of NY....i got so engrossed in the show, i didn't even clue in when rah and i lost connection on icq phone or on the game.....the show ended and i looked at the screen which still said, you have lost connection to the host computer.... i then noticed i had not heard from Rah in an hour, and felt really dumb....

dont think this has happened to me before

personally i think it was the program, and then i got talking to the gf....and well i was distracted after that...btw i rebooted it was a couple of hours later

rah · January 27, 2003, 18:15

Actually, I'm glad it was that, and not machine problems AGAIN. And in YOUR defense, that was the THIRD game of the evening. I know you get bored when you're always playing catch up

(sorry couldn't pass that one up)

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 18:30

as per usual you forget to mention the arse kicking i was delivering in the first game

must have been another senior moment....

The last game i felt like Osama....just looking for a place to hide

Flatlander Fox · January 27, 2003, 18:43

Passing out is a perfectly acceptable way to terminate a game...

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 20:08

the machine is fine....this week i will hook up the new one

rah · January 28, 2003, 19:04

Back on topic before MING asks me to start XXLIII.

Is it too early to investigate a possible fri-sat game?

RAH
one of these weeks anyway.

War4ever · January 28, 2003, 21:10

i am into it, what about my suggestion on the pyramids, hg and GW?

Ming · January 28, 2003, 21:17

Sigh... doesn't look good for a Saturday night game for me if you guys are going to continue... maybe the game will break up early, or maybe War will get involved in a TV program

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 00:02

ho ho ho...funny man...Ming we all know we will never get two sessions in unless we do a three way on the late sat game

Baron O · January 29, 2003, 00:12

rah

saturday i had plans for, but i might be able to play late saturday nite

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 00:50

well there you go ming, there will be no continuation so your in

rah · January 29, 2003, 15:53

What about Berz and FF? Still potential for a continuation game.

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 16:38

i haven't seen berz in two weeks and FF seems to like wussing out these days

i do believe you said that too me

lol

Flatlander Fox · January 29, 2003, 21:14

I gotta go play friggin' soldier again this weekend, and try and ferry around in ONE DAMN CAR is getting on my nerves. (Ever rode a bike in 10 degree weather, it sux

)

Hence, no games this weekend, which bites the big one.

I am not wussing out!

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 23:23

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 01:40
