If you didn't use mods, you're useless to me ;]

So very sad - not being able to play if wanting to. Have a nice life still.

Goodluck to you... and remember, where there is a will, there is a way!

If I had to take a guess, I'd say he's going to Bulgaria.

Anyway, good luck with your endeavors, and hopefully you'll come back some day.

Bye. You will be missed

Don't care what others expect you to do. The world is changing too.

Hey, no need to feel sad about Nick. For months he has been *****ing about
missing his wife, about needing a car to get anywhere, and about no one giving
a rat *** about politics. :-)

His smile went all the way around his head as I drove him to LAX.

By the way, how did you guess he's Bulgarian? Nickolai can be Russian, Serbian,
Romanian, etc... You guessed right, by the way.

He should be able to find internet cafe's where he can download SP maps and patch updates, even if he visits a major city only once a month.

Well, it took me 5 seconds to figure out and probably will take 3 minutes to explain but here goes;

As a 60 year old, he probably used Nikolai because that's his real name. Assuming that, one thinks of the countries where a name like that is used. You get essentially a line from Serbia/Bulgaria to Russia, with Bulgaria and Russia as the most likely.

Remembering that he mentioned he doesn't speak russian at some point, that knocks out Russia, and the Ukraine (a 60 year old would most likely speak it there).

We're left with Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Romania is out because Nicolae or Nicola would be used there. Serbia is out because he said he will have expensive internet, not barely any internet. (Anyone who reads the CIA factbook every few years knows that about 1/4 of Bulgaria's population has internet access, while Serbia is more like 1/10)

That leaves Bulgaria as a very likely location, so that was my guess.

(By the way, I'm not from any of those countries, and my name doesn't start with an N)
