This is now six posts in a row do I get a prize?

According to the bump rules that I had to learn the hard way a bump is appropriate after 48 hours. I would appreciate it if someone is going to be away for a few days they let us know. If someone is going to be away longer please arrange for a substitue. Thanks!

Also Darius this is not an "OFFICIAL BUMP" but you are next.

But on the other hand this game didn't moved a turn since two weeks so perhaps some bumping and rushing is appropriate.

Con, you would do anything to increase your PC 4 posts in a row

Do you have MSN or AIM or anything?

[conmcb25]

Nope, but I got a feeling I should get it, couldn't we just trade emails for now?

Well MSN is free and all you need is an email address, so why not get it? You could be talking to someone within 15 minutes.

BTW, you're in the Navy? I remember you talking about having experience in intel, but not that you were still in it.

[conmcb25]

Well Darius I would like to tell you in this public forum but then I would have to kill you all...................

If you really want to know my story, then email me.

OK what should I get? I downloaded IQC on my home machine but haven't installed it yet? And if you use one will it work with others? ie if Darius has AIM and I got IQC would one talk to another? I have not done this before so I dont have a clue. And we probally should put the tutoring session into an email or PM

Email on its way...

No need for the PMs, I'm too lazy. I know that people with MSN have AIM'ed me before, but lord help me I have no idea how. ICQ can only talk to ICQ, but then again many of us have ICQ so that could be enough.

At any rate, I have AIM, MSN, ICQ, and Yahoo, so you can contact me with any of them.

- Ulm joins the Confederation of the Rhine.

- Napoleon's Italian armies have captured both Rome and Pescara. The pope has gladly coronated him as Emperor of all Catholicism.

- In response to a request from the King of Denmark for protection from Prussia, French forces have shocked the world by capturing Esbjerg and Alborg in a successful amphibious campaign. A government-in-exile for the king has been set up in Esbjerg, as Napoleon has admitted he does not have the resources necessary to take Copenhagen before the Prussians.

HMMMM!

Another Honory Title for me

If I were English maybe I could get KNIGHTED!

NOT!

I wonder whose turn it is?

Lets see Darius is France and he played last, so who is next lets see...................................

UK: Alibaster
Prussia: Choke
Austria: Civfan
Russia: conmcb25
France: Darius871
Spain: Galvatron
Sweden: AI

Its not Alibaster
Its not Choke
Its not Civfan
It aint me!
It aint Darius

So it must be Galvatron!

Not a bump just a reminder, lets the conquest of Europe continue!

[Choke]

What is the difference between a bump and a reminder?

[Galvatron]

Sincerely I asked myself whose turn is it and completely overlooked it was mine.
Thank you for the nice written reminder

Ok let's continue with the show:

Oporto and Lagos integrated into the Spanish Empire.

King Ferdinand today officially announced the beginning of his North African campaign to increase the Spanish influence in the world. Right at the start Tangier and Oran were captured and it is rumoured more will follow soon

The complex question of proper BUMPing

It is only a moral, legal and ethical bump if done anytime after the customary 48 hours.

Before 48 hours a bump is considered immoral, unethical and illegal.

A reminder and this is just me talking is a way to get around the ridiculous, and oppressive bump laws established by PBEMers' who have played too many PBEM's.

Actually in this situation right now where we are really kicking this off (I hope) It is OK to remind someone nicely because it may have slipped there mind or they just missed it as I suspected was the case with Galvatron admiring my whit and humor. So until we get into the groove, I believe nice reminders are appropriate so we can get this thing moving.

After 48 hours we can become rude, crude and socially unacceptable.

With that here is the philosophy question for the night:

"Can a bump be immoral, illegal and unethical if there is no one to Bump?"

Good night and happy PBEMing to you all

"Before 48 hours a bump is considered immoral, unethical and illegal."

Man, it's a game, not a courtroom.

Sorry I should have added a bunch of sarcastic files.

Im relatively new only a few months playing. This is a rule established by the reigning PBEM hierarchy, the guys who have been around the longest. So anything that applies to Bumping I apply a lot of sarcasm to. Lets say it is my approach to rebelling against the "union rules".

So Im just screwing around and quite frankly I dont care when and how you bump me. Here are the appropriate smileys so you know Im screwing around



Let the game continue.

I just scrolled up to see whose turn it is: It is Alibaster's. Do you know what that means guys? We have all completed one turn in less then a week. This is great!
