Re: Broke computer. Need 9 games subbed!
 
I'm still pretty much a newbie, I just got lucky in one or two and am near the top in a couple more newbie-oriented games.

Anyway, this is going to be a temporary thing. I just didn't want to hold up 9 games while I went looking for a monitor.

If all 9 of my games were turn 40+, I'd be in trouble :) I had 90% free time up until recently. I still have a lot. I am only expecting to need subs for 2-3 turns. That said, take your pick, first come, first served, with my blessings. :)

Just PM the game admin and post in the appropriate forum, then go ahead and post here to let everyone know the game no longer needs a sub.

Thanks ;( I'm really sorry to everyone I'm involved in games with. Being in 9 is really irresponsible, I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH! I hope you understand. :)

And no, the games have not come near overwhelming me yet. I still have to restrain myself when I see a new game posted :)

I will figure something out pretty quickly, I think. I have several options. Thanks again for the input. :)

Edit: Although I was looking at this as a blessing in disguise. Encouragement to you know, see the sun occasionally and whatnot :)

oh, if it's just for a few turns i could certainly take one - one of the MA mict games, or the Formoria. Ok i'll PM the game admin for the Formoria game.

Have you used the usb port to connect a monitor? This may work.:D

I can sub for RAND game for several turns. No diplomacy is good.

Ok konming, let Pashadawg know you are taking over for me (at least temporarily)

In other news, I used the "magnifier" program in Vista and managed to play all my turns last night with 1/5 of my monitor working (and little pink, aqua and yellow lines running vertically through the remainder). So technically I can still play, but GAD is it a pain in the arse. :) What this means, pretty much, is that I could still use some help with the really big game -- Lanka. Which chrispedersen has volunteered for.

I've also got a solution for the monitor problem, which should take less than two days.

If you're still particularly keen on subbing a particular game, just ask, but I think I'll be okay if Lanka is taken off my hands for a few turns.

Thanks everyone. :)

OK, I guess you can continue to player RAND then. I cannot find that game thread anyway. :doh:

glad you found a work around - cancel my madwar sub then :)

though, you will need to lose a couple of those games at least - that's my advice, go out in a blaze of glory in 3 of them :)
