Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

SE IV Gold has arrived in Switzerland too!
My first impression: excellent!

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

It's not fair! How come it can get to England, Finland, and Switzerland before Toronto, Canada?! When it does come it will probably be squished into my mailbox too, aargh.

Just a little eager to play, that's all.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Darn right!

Even though it will probably take sunday to reach Calgary from North Carolina to Regina to here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Phoenix-D<hr></blockquote>Yes! Thank you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I thought I was the only one that had trouble getting the shrink wrap off the manual. Tough little stuff. Needs to have one of those little pLastic strips like in the chewing gum packages. Of course that would prolly make it more expensive.

Ok, new list. Reasons why shipments take longer to Canada. I'll get it started...

1. Sign on back of delivery truck: "This vehicle stops at all moose crossings."

2. All the money you spend on free quality health care for all had to come from somewhere. Bye bye postal service budget.

3. All the Yankee touristers keep stopping the driver and asking him to "Do that 'I am Canadian!' bit."

4. Keep your shirt on, 'eh? It'll get there soon enough you hoser. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

LOL

Although there are flaws...

The Moose crossings should be Beaver, Deer, Grizzly, Fox, Wolf, Cougar, Wolverine, Elk crossing.

The Postal budget went out the window when they made very very unentertaining insane ads that they put out on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The probablity of a Yank asking that is unlikely as it is Skiing season and its more likely Japanese and European people asking it.

And the biggest hosers in the world are Americans. Especially Western Americans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Everybody knows that.

*Drum roll*

And another thing: The Canadian postal service originates from two places: Ottawa and Regina/Winnipeg. Both places desolate and far far away from most of where Canadians live.

That also explains why our political system is going down the drain (and why the Canadian Alliance is the opposition.)

I am offended by that statement. I am most certainly not a hoser.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

It's a cryptic joke. Sorry if it offended you.

People up here who watched a comedy show called "Made In Canada" (If it is shown in the US, It might be called the "Industry" as my friend in Pheonix says) would get kinda get the joke.

Edit: Umm... What happened to my little Smiley?

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

made in canada. was that the cbc comedy about the morning show ???

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Nah its that CBC comedy about a small independent TV producing company called Pyramid that always try to get to the next level with a Suck up Vice President, Incompetent President, A Scheming producer, and a know it all advisor or something.

Very funny, very ironic...
And the theme song should be recognizable to all Canadians in one sec. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

TerranC,

Last time I checked, Ottawa was kind of in the middle of the most highly populated region of the country...but Winnipeg and Regina...what were they thinking?

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

*lol* Sh*t though, free healthcare is awesome...I slave for a sick insurance company and my benefits blow... How ironic.

On a side note, I hear in Canada its semi-legal to have bud, whats up with that? Might havta make a trip there if its true *LOL*

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

TerranC:
No worries. I wasn't really serious about that. I had assumed that you were making some obscure joke. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

While I was looking for a good place to poke the point of the scissors, I found a hole in the shrinkwrap on one of the short edges. Opening it from there was easy.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Sorry to bring it off-off topic =-)

I got mine too! In fact I got mine two... I seem to have accidentally ordered 2 copies. Never mind, I'll give one to my brother.

Anyway, I am extreeeemely happy with my purchase(s)... Came across one of the new "star forming" systems the other day and a big smile crept involuntarily across my face... Am I sad?

And I got my name in the manual! I'm so happy. Anyway, don't expect to see much of me for the next few weeks, I'll be too busy playing.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Lucky...

I guess that means that you will have to change your signature eh?

Hey Dogscoff, hold on there, I havnt ordered my copy yet - can I have your second one and I will just send Shrapnel a cheque w/o worrying about the shipping to the UK- hell, I will even go halves with your shipping if you want

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

GT: If you're going to be buying Dogscoff's second CD, the check should go to Dogscoff.

Otherwise, Shrapnel gets paid 3 times, and Dogscoff pays twice for one disk.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

fine, I'll pay dogscoff but I think Richard may start complaining cos I am sure dogscoff only paid the once for 2 disks

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

If he accidentally ordered two, then his bill would have been for 2.

Better check just to be sure.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

too true but I suspect Shrapnel may have accidently put 2 copies to dosgscoff in the panic of the shipping run

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Not yet, but it is on its way from Cologne down to Frankfurt at the moment - or at least UPS is telling me that...

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Do you know what a bad day looks like?
You're driving from Essen (near Cologne) to Frankfurt and somebody says your copy of SEIVG travels along on the other side of the road in such a big brown car .....to the place you actually come from.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

I got it!

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

YES! It has arrived...
*dives in*

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Yeah I got mine today...bad news...my CD was bent in the delivery process...what should I do!?

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Hmm..

I was so geeked that I got mine JUST NOW that I was going to come celebrate with you all. But after hearing about Captain Kwok's shipping tragedy, my joy has been mildly deflated.


So you say it is 'bent' CK? That sounds weird, as I don't think I have ever successfully bent a CD without it breaking. Somone must've sat on it the whole trip to your home.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

I got it!!!

Only to open the package and find that there is absolutely NO frickin CD in it. (A manual, an invoice, a coupon, an ad for Shrapnel Games, but no SEIV Gold CD).

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

EDIT: Ok, I'm a dumbass. You can stamp dumbass on my forehead. The CD is IN the manual.

Go ahead and put in a request with our help desk so that they can send a new CD out.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Thanks Richard. Well it was more "warped" then bent. The funny thing though was that I had a premination about this earlier in the thread:

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

Had the same absolute, terrifying fear as Noble 713 when I opened the package and didn't see the CD, but my girlfriend, who is much smarter than me, quickly figured out that it must be in the book...

Party in Northern Germany. Envelope was bent to fit into my mailbox *shudder* , but don't panic (Hitchhikers Guide To Galaxy), booklet and CD are OK, lucky postman... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Some un-freaking-believable Extra stuff on the CD, I guess I will be very tired at work tomorrow.

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Woo hoo! At Last ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Though not directly ordered at Shrapnel, I got my copy from Mephisto (thanks again) who placed a bulk order for some of us german customers.

Shipment from US to Germany was arranged quite fast as far as I traced UPS' route but I believe it was stuck in the customs at cologne airport for 2-3 days, anyway thanks Malfador, Shrapnel and Mephisto.

Have a nice weekend all

Re: I GOT IT!!!!!
 

Royal *** Mail greatest SE IV blunder !

My SE IV Gold arrived at March 8. They "tried" to deliver it that morning. My wife was at home the whole day and swears on Bible that NOBODY ringed our door ! They left a piece of paper which get lost among all the junk mail. I found it only yesterday, a week later !! Arggggghhhhhhh....
But anyway, I got it now.
