Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Tesco, check your PM, I emailed my turn to you on Saturday and have only just received the next turn today (can I change my email address?)
|
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
i believe you change your email for that empire in the game.... as for pbw you would have to ask the admins....
|
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
The web server has not received your turn.
You must reply to the email ( the one that the turn was sent ) with your turn ( the player file ) If anyone else can help tigga.... I am at work .... |

Mac saunders into the new/old cantina, much relaxed, lst day of vacation, looks around, waves to everyone, tells Taz, in celebrating being on vacation, to fill up everyones glass with their preferences and to put a large milk bowl, full of milk for the large Kat, and for a little extra cost to include that newer ingredient to help tiggas control their fur ball problems, aaahhh yes, vacation....
I shall not be going anywhere, just working at home and hopefully, being able to use the computer a little more then normal, So I'll still be taking my game turns.... and spending some time learning more on mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif a very relaxing, refresshed, stress-less Mac |

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Tesco, I am dazed and confused.
I played the turn I was late for (and which was due 27 July) Last night. No problems here but my game did seem slightly scrambled as a couple of ships I had just built were going off on a frolic... I uploaded that turn, and then immediately downloaded the next turn and played this, and sent back... but I seem to be now being told that there is a turn due 1 Aug and another due 2 Aug... Help.... all I want to do is dominate the galaxy and crush the empires of my competitors under my heels |

I'm hoping to get all this for around £800 - £1000. Question 1: I know that certain configurations of Dell machine cause problems with SEIV, so I will avoid those, but does anyone know of any other brands I should steer clear of? Can anyone recommend a (reasonably inexpensive) brand? Question 2: What retailers/ etailers can ppl recommend for the UK? I have just been severely let down by dabs.com and will never order from them again. I wouldn't touch PCWorld & similar with 'Tigga's, and I don't really know of any other reliable hardware distributers. Can anyone make a recommendation?

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Are you saying that intel projects are cherating? can you really be so sure I'm not acting against you? Perhaps you should start researching intel, just in case...
I am not saying that intel is cheating at all, only that you are cheating if you have researched intel, built up a meaningful capability to actually run projects like order snafu's on me ALL BY TURN 4 you mean you go abroad and buy them Yes, although I am slightly misleading you.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Heh, don't expect Gt to let that one stand Dogscoff. It's been nice knowing you. I suggest if you have any outstanding debts you take care of them before Tigga's head grows back. And secondly, you really should be more careful with that sword of yours. Some cultures find it very rude to go about thwacking off people's heads, and I know that some people might object to your taking someone's DNA without so much as a please.
Gt, assuming that this bit about the ships isn't all a clever ruse on your part, most likely I'd say what happened is you played the wrong turn. There was a three week lapse between turns afterall, and according to PBW you missed the previous turn alltogether. Likely you neglected to download the current turn and make sure it was in fact the turn you were working on? Geoschmo |

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Dogscoff is standing at the bar poring over a picture of his novatech notebbook, when suddenly 2 cables lash out of the bar and wrap themselves around his torso, bear traps spring out of the floor and clamp on his feet and a horde of French waiters scamper up and grab all Dogscoff's attendant sea-creatures in order to prepare a celebratory fruit-de-mer (served with a fresh calardi mayonnaise and shallot vinegar).
Dogscoff is pinioned and is completely immobile. Waves of terror course through his emaciated, ****-scared body and for once, even his terminal halitosis is not a major issue for the room.. Growltigga walks in from the back room of the cantina where he has been controlling the robot clone tigga 1. He walks up to Dogscoff and says "that might have hurt and was not very nice" before unfurling his claws, and revving up the chainsaw... The next bit is completely censored but you get the gist.. Trajan is horribly sick in the corner, Tesco looks cross eyed as a piece of dogscoff's ear is hanging off his nose, Taz is busily wiping blood off the bar, Mac is looking horribly yellow and all the FBW's have run away in horror. Dogscoff's most tender and private parts are found later on that evening hanging up a tree in Rutland. Tigga finishes busily cutting Dogscoff's corpse in a thousand pieces.. he then whistles and summons his army of maneating killer mongooses and lets them feast upon the bits. "MWWWAMMMWWWAAAMMWWWAA" says the mighty Kat, "Dogscoff may be able to regenerate from a beheading, he may be able to rise from the grave even but he is not going to be able to rise from the mongooses".

Yours confusedly GT and what is bubble hockey? |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Gt, I believe you are up to date, other than you are awaiting a turn currently. You haven't missed it or anything, it's just waiting for you to upload.
It does appear that you missed at least one previous turn. That would account for your ships miscreant behavior. But you did not see any of that in the Last turn correct? Geoschmo |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Sorry Gt, I think I just realized why you are getting confused. The next turn is due Aug 2, 2002 12:30:34 AM EDT. You need to upload a turn by then. In the email you recieved it will have various timezones listed depending on what timezones the players in the game with you live in. If there is anyone in your game further west than the eastern time zone, it will show their turn due as Aug 1st, because of the time differance.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Well, what happended was that Tesco was chasing me for the turn I think was due Last Friday and which I sent in on Saturday... the turn that came in to my office eddress whcih I forwarded home yesterday had two of my ships having been built and appearing to go off on a frolic of their own..
logically as well, a ship I gave orders to previously and which had a 2 turn journey had arrived so 1 turn must be missing... I think I am up to date I think Save that one turn is missing and in that turn, lord knows what may have happended EDIT: actually, I submitted my turn to PBW on Saturday and Last night, got an email saying the email had failed. I then uploaded it directly to the site and when I downloaded the next turn, I then found out that 2 ships had frolic.. My brain hurts [ July 30, 2002, 15:36: Message edited by: Growltigga ] |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Water bubbles up from beneath the floorBoards, until it is almost knee high. Piranhas appear and begin devouring the mongeese, but leaving everything else alone. A platoon of cuttlefish swim forth to collect the 'Tigga trophy. When all the mongeese have been eating, the water and the fish disappear from whence they came.
Back in the depths, a suite of nano-aquatic regurgitation engineers go to work on the piranha, painstakingly sorting the chewed up mongoose bits from the doubly chewed up Dogscoff bits in the mongeese's stomachs. It will be some time before reconstruction can begin... |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Ahah, the water and the piranhas retreat below the floorBoards of the cantina leaving the cuttlefish struggling with the clone Tiger head. With a whistle, the real Growltigga summons a group of friendly Japanese fishermen who scoop up all the cuttlefish and taken them away to be turned into tasty treats for the orientals... the head is taken back to the cloning vats.. a new squad of crack killer mongooses is brought to the fore and a crack team of beavers quickly concretes the cantina floor
Growltigga pulls out his comlink and whispers to one of his assets 'activate operation nemo', miles away, lurking in the depths like a giant pelagic shark, a submarine opens its bow doors and lets rip a salvo of anti-"nano-aquatic reguritation engineers" torpoedoes into the depths...the torpedoes close in and strike the engineers, busily separating mongoose from Dogscoff, dead one and a nuclear fuelled explosion rocks the kingdom of the deep Growltigga whispers into his comlink once more "activate operation bird's eye" and with a bLast of searing actinic light, the Tigg-a PLC strategic defence satellite fires its thrusters and then fires its 'fish finger' ray into the deep.. with a bLast, the rest of Dogscoff's former aquatic minions are turned into appetising fish-based battered products for mass consumption in a chiarascuro of light... more profits for Tigg-a PLC await but back in the cloning centre, a new dogscoff is being prepared, a more malleable and ameniable dogscoff... one who can be manipulated and who will be more flexible...... |

With a ying and a yang, a couple of highly trained ninjas leap up from behind the bar (surprising Taz who didnt realise they lived in the glass washing machine) and throw shuriken at the doubting Geo. The shuriken stick into his clothing and pin him to the wall. One of the ninjas takes off her mask and reveals herself to be Lucy Lui. she strides over to the pinioned Geo and takes out a feather, a tub of crunchy peanut butter and some ball bearings... "This will teach you for casting dispersions on Growltigga and Dogscoff" and the torture commences.. The rest of the Cantina think it is the best cabaret they have yet seen |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Recovering from his initial shock and realizing he was not hurt, Geo notes with intense interest the approaching Lucy Liu bearing the afformentioned peanut butter tub and feather. Not at all afraid at this point he wonders if he should mention these are the ingredients of one his favorite fantasies. He couldn't have been happier than Briar Rabbit at this turn of events.
But Lucy dear, what are you doing with those ballbearings? Ow! Hey, don't do that... |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours

Geo, really,
you would expect to see industrial detergent in the inside of a glass washing machine.. dont you have highly trained ninjas living in your dishwasher? (how else do you think the stubborn stains get removed?) and as for the labrador, he just lives round the back of the cantina and is available for weddings, funerals, parties, bar-mitzvahs etc... anyhow, you are being tortured by Lucy Lui and the minger so you cannot speak [ July 30, 2002, 17:29: Message edited by: Growltigga ] |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Geo now wonders how Tigga is able to converse with him even though he has not said anything out loud but merely wondered. But since Gt is apparently psychic he thinks as loudly as he can that "industrial detergent" sounded to him more like something you would use to clean machine parts and wouldn't be suitable for contact with drinking glasses. But he supposes that considering the other stuff he has seen the big cat consume in the past and refered to as food he supposes that Tigga's must have stronger stomache linings than Geo's do.

A previously-backed up Dogscoff personality, now downloaded into a freshly cloned body (see, we can all do that retrospective life-saving bit, Tigga=-) watches the nuclear destruction of his undersea kingdom and indeed most of the planet- from a cloaked orbital space station. He chuckles to himself that 'Tigga has turned his own homeworld into an atomic wasteland in an attempt to destroy 'Scoff, but without success. He tractor beams the entire cantina into space in an artificial atmospheric field and flies off into the galaxy, away from the now scorched planet to find a new world to re-establish the cantina on. Before he leaves he drops mines all around the planet to prevent 'Tigga from leaving. He's made his bed - let him lie in it.

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Geo hangs despondantly from the wall of the cantina covered in peanut butter and soap flakes. Suddenly the shaking about of the Cantina as it is wrenched from the planets surface and hurtles into deep space knock loose one of Geo's arms that were pinned to the wall. Desperatly he reaches to his other hand and trips the switch on his Super Friends fanclub ring with optional temporal field generator. The resulting temporal causality loop takes everyone in the cantina back in time to a point immedietly prior to when Dogscoff cropped off Tigga's head, but miraculously without altering anyone's memory of the events that followed it.
Geo quickly jumps up between Dogscoff and Gt before the events unfold again and offers to buy them both a drink if they will make peace and stop all this silliness. [ July 30, 2002, 19:23: Message edited by: geoschmo ] |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
gratefull to be back in time, Puke scoops up Geo's bag of dispersions (which is still full and unsacttered at this point) and prepairs to cast them upon any sillyness, should it ensue. Taz turns the dishwasher on 'high' lest any unexpected miscreants pop out.
Puke points out to his Viking companion that with the possible exception of combat movement, base movement is unmodable in SE4. |

Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Director Tsaarx steps in, followed by a dozen "TIB" (Timecops In Black) agents, hands out citations all 'round for improper use of flux capacitors and confiscates Geo's Superfriends ring for analysis.
"I'd neuralyze all of you, but that would just further muddy the streams of time, not to mention the increased tachyon pollution." The TIB agents then walk to the stage, revealing their true identities as the greatest (presumed dead) musicians of the past 50 years, and soothe the savage beasts of the pub with music. The Director, meanwhile, is trying to figure out why there are Tribbles hanging out with Taz... |
Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Geo thanks Puke for taking his dispersions and offers to give him his reservations as well if he would like them. He hands over his superfriends ring willingly to the TIB men, as anyone knows the superfriends ring with optional temporal field generator is only good for one use, and he hasn't been a member of the super friends fanclub anyway since the nasty business with the restraining order filed against him by Wonder Woman. He hands Taz a few quarters to keep the washer running and then asks DirectorT if the TIB Mosters of Rock band take requests, and if so he'd like to hear "Freebird".
