Yeah right, is this an example of Dogscoff's famous time compression technology being utilised on turn 4 of our game to CHEAT???

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...

Quote:

I now buy all my computers overseas

you mean you go abroad and buy them or get them shipped to you from abroad? If it's the latter, can you recommend an overseas company?

{Light bulb above head} Actually...
I'm going to Germany (Munich) next week so maybe I should see what prices are like over there. Don't know how much time I'll have for shopping though. Also, how easy would it be to change all the settings from German language to English?

German ppl: What kind of notebook spec could I get in Munich for 1200 - 1500 Euros?

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. I bought my home PC from MESH. Very nice peice of kit for a very good price BUT the after sales support has been very disappointing.

My laptop was bought in Japan.

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?

I'll be more careful in future... I think I've found a laptop I might buy:

It's a fairly local firm, and it's a pretty good spec for the money. Anyone know anything about these machines?

<Trajan steps into the cantina, avoiding Tigga's head rolling across the floor after having been recently separated from its body.>

<Waving to the assebled morning crew, he steps up to the bar and reqeusts, from Taz, a nice hot espresso to help him wake up from his long night of playing the new Version of the DevNull Mod.>

Cheers!

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".

MWWWAAAA MMWA MWWWAAAA MWWAAAAA MWWWAAAAAAAA

Au revoir mon amis, no more shall you eat poo and try and lick your own testicles

Tigga... when you did your turn...it kicked off the auto.... and the next turn was sent to you. So you did that one and everyone else did it as well.... When the Last person completed there turn the auto kicked off again... hence where we are now...

Lap tops === The IBM thinkpad series is fantastic... I am currently using a t23... It has svideo out etc... I do not know what the prices are in Europe...

Everyone else....

Hello... And Tesco challenges Gryphin to a game of bubble hockey ... winner picks up the tab for next wekk.

Tesco, am I up to dsate then or have I missed a turn or something?

Yours confusedly

GT

and what is bubble hockey?

geoschmo · #**219** July 30th, 2002, 04:00 PM

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?

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.
