Growers PBEM

[Melboz99]

I would love to do a tournament day!

I'm on break right now, and I will be at home, not doing much for the next couple of weeks. I believe I go back to class on the 15th. A good day would be between the 8th and the 15th, because I will have my DSL line hooked up and working (crosses fingers).


Edit: Looks like I just started page two!

Sent to Paddy,

Yippe, my third turn today!

Edit, looks like I did that one in a record breaking 14minutes!


Woo!

[Paddy]

Thanks Melboz

I have staggered shifts for the coming month, so if a concensus is come to, then I will organise a shift swap to be available...

This is the first PBEM that I've been in where I have played 3 turns in ONE day!

Paddy/Peter, if you think you can pull off a meeting timeframe for all of us, then sure count me in.

EDIT: Double Post.

And now for something completely off the wall as we are hooting through these turns...

HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SURVIVE?

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter.
"You don't?" I replied.
"We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply.
"So I can't order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"
"That's right."
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
------------------------------------
The paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple of months ago:
I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "Dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "Divider" looking it all over for the barcode so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me "Do you know how much this is?" and I said to her, "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK" and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.....
--------------------------
A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number,
so she was using the ATM "thingy".
----------------------------------
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries, it's a long
walk."
-------------------------------------
Several years ago, we had an intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
---------------------------------------
I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister". I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
-------------------------
Sign in a gas station: Coke -- 49 cents. Two for a dollar.
------------------------------
I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of the year. My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual amount of time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.
--------------------------------
Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed!

Oh we are all still here...

It is looking good then.

Some things to consider.

- Do we all use a common message device ie: ICQ or MSN...?
As there are only 4 of us, it may be best if we are all on the one wave length,
but it does not matter, the main goal is to give the next person a heads up that the save is on the way,
so if there is a email holdup it can be resent quickly, thus no 30 minute loss of game time etc

- How long are we willing to commit..?

- Have we decided if we can discuss Civ issues with each other before our civs have actually met in the game.?

- Oh yeah, and that we have fun

i can use msn. i think that just a notifer for 'new emails' can do it for me to stay involved in a fast paced pbem gaming period

[Wittlich]

I have both an MSN and an ICQ account (though I would need to reload ICQ on my computer since I rarely used it - but I still have my membership number and once a member, always a member on ICQ).

[Paddy]

My MSN Messenger is to my email address.

My ICQ is attached on the left.

If you are going to download ICQ, there are two snazy new ones.
ICQ Lite - for 1 on 1 chats
ICQ Pro - aloows 1 on 1, as well as group chats.

Sorry for the long wait. My mother got on the phone and was talking for an hour.

God, I can't wait for DSL. She was on the phone from 9:00 to 10:00PM, that is supposed to be the time I get to use the internet. I don't understand what gives them the right to gripe when I use the modem when it's 8:00AM, or when nobody's home, but as soon as they want to use the phone, they have to have it, and they don't care about what I want, no matter what time of day.

Oh yeah, Sent to Paddy.

Thanks Dan,

Hope your Ma does not read the posts...
