95% of computer problems stem from the user.

Hydey · June 2, 2003, 07:24

I have heard War4 refered to as a poof magnet.

would that upset his computer.

Makeo · June 2, 2003, 08:07

probably not his computer no

rah · June 2, 2003, 09:09

So what happened Saturday War. another poof.

War4ever · June 2, 2003, 17:48

dunno...

floating connection for 45 min, no icq, couldnt' get onto poly

and didnt' bother with msn figuring you guys wouldn't have it on....

what sucked other than losing that second set to barbs

was a late monarchy, but i got two tribes and was well on my way to a comeback..no wonder comeback but i was starting to roll and had found some great land and was able to consolidate it too... then POOF!

rah · June 3, 2003, 08:00

Hopefully we won't have any problems this weekend

War4ever · June 3, 2003, 09:52

Has ming tested it yet

rah · June 3, 2003, 10:20

He had better have.

You bringing your laptop?

War4ever · June 3, 2003, 10:25

doubtfull, there wasn't alot of pros for bringing it...besides it old , slow, and has barely enough memory for civ....

i used it for everything but gaming, it was my college/uni laptop lol

rah · June 3, 2003, 11:31

If it's got an ethernet card, pull it and bring it.

War4ever · June 3, 2003, 13:15

i will check , it would need an adapter and why would i want to pull the ethernet card?? you want to put it in one of your machines?????

rah · June 3, 2003, 13:29

I have a laptop that was configured for a card but I gave it to a bud that needed one. I've played civ on it before so while it's not a fast machine, it will play it. Just in case, it's nice to have backup plans, since we haven't heard much back from Ming yet.

War4ever · June 3, 2003, 14:49

ok, i will look at the lap top and pull it out if its still in there..it was hooked up to the net before....but i suspect its been pulled..

rah · June 4, 2003, 08:07

Maybe we'll get lucky.

RAH

War4ever · June 4, 2003, 08:13

its been pulled......

sorry

rah · June 12, 2003, 08:44

Playing in a room of people and start a few skirmishes that fail, only to hear people laughing out loud at the attempt. Much more annoying then king chat gloating.

DrSpike · June 12, 2003, 08:54

Been to few LAN parties.............there's always one who can't resist looking at your screen.

rah · June 12, 2003, 09:40

On the way to the bathroom or the frig for beers I would get a quick glance at another screen but I never tried to pay attention and never saw anything.

But it was fun because we had only three computers set up and there were four of us. So if the extra person wasn't napping, he could sit behind someone and watch their style or just wander around and watch the game develop for everyone. It was amazing what everyone learned. Those little game details that add up.

A great experience overall.

DrSpike · June 12, 2003, 10:04

In my undergrad days we had a permanent LAN of about 25 gamers, stretching across 2 blocks of our hall. I don't think I've ever enjoyed gaming so much.

:wistful:

When you can hear the screams from the next block over you KNOW you've pissed your opponent off.

rah · June 12, 2003, 10:36

Yeah, it makes it a bit more personal. There were quite a few "TAKE THAT" comments.

But it was great to have players that we've played with for years, long distance, be just a few feet away, sharing a "FEW" beers.

The Australian group is having a few problems at the moment - oi vay!

rah · June 12, 2003, 11:18

Do we need to read the other thread, or are you going to reiterate them here?

DrSpike · June 12, 2003, 12:06

[understatement]

Deity and Horse have a disagreement over some things.

[/understatement]

rah · June 12, 2003, 12:27

Yep, I checked out that thread.
For the record, I agree with Deity since his position is identical to current RAH rules. But with all rules, any prior agreements takes precedence and from reading, I can't be sure of the order of events.

RAH

-Jrabbit · June 12, 2003, 13:39

It was really a blast to kibitz 3 screens at once... knowing in advance when people would meet, seeing the varying approaches to build orders, city site selection, expansion, etc.

Quite fun -- much better than the usual "how's it going, rah?" we see on Friday nights.

We don't play RAH rules

Thanks Rah

I know. I just said I agreed because it was similar. But if it's in RAH rules, we know it has been discussed and agreed to by most of the people in our group.

So it would be silly to play any other way.

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2003, 08:26

we can't codify the Aussie rules because that would be like Bosnia.
