Five days ago, myself, my ICQ friend Snowball, and my other ICQ friend Masey were
playing a TCP/IP game of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, on the level "blades of death" that night. We were just killing each other free for all for a long time, then Masey said "Be right back, my cat is REALLY agitated for some reason and I'm going to see what the matter is" so he left his character just standing in the middle of the very dark room with the deflective walls in the level, and Snowball ran up to his idle character and killed him with his lightsaber. We both laughed about it and we went off fighting each other for about
fifteen minutes. Masey still had not come back, so we still kept on fighting each other one on one for what must have been at least 45 minutes, and Masey STILL had not come back. So eventually myself and Snowball left the game, wondering what he was doing that was taking him so long. Now all three of us have ICQ, and it showed that Masey was
online, we sent him a message, and still no response. Myself and Snowball were very puzzled, and could not figure out what
his cat was agitated about and why it was taking him so long. Eventually it was about 2:00 in the morning so we both logged off
and went to sleep. I actually forgot about Masey that day, but late at night I remembered how he had not come back for
the longest time during our Jedi Knight game, so I logged back on ICQ that night and saw that Masey was online. I sent him a message but no response. Now this was VERY bizzarre. So I actually decided to join Masey's Jedi Knight game and see if he was STILL in there! I connected to his IP, and I searched around the level for the very dark room that he had left his character in. I eventually got in there and I couldn't see
anything because the room was so dark. In that game if you activate your lightsaber it gives you some light, so I did that, and I saw Masey's dead character was STILL on the ground from when Snowball killed him a day ago! I typed "Masey?" No response. It was all very eerie really. I exited the game and later went to sleep wondering what was up
with this situation. I then logged on the next day and Masey was NOT online ICQ, and I have not heard from him since.
We cannot figure out what happened to Masey, what do all of you think?
UEC posted 10-04-99 09:08 PM ET
There is Definitly Something wrong. Perhaps the cat was agited because someone unwelcomed was in the house\apartment. It sounds to me like you don't know Masey in person so I doubt you have a Phone number or Address. If there is some criminal activity happening you probably have no way on notifying the local athorities. But if you can DO IT! Then again It may just be my own parinoia. But try to find some of Maseies friends online or offline.
An other posiblity, the cat was just freaking over nothing and Masey had to deal with it and just forgot about the game. UNLIKELY
This could also just be one bad joke by Masey. This is More Tagible then him/her forgeting but still rather unlikely.

Or it could be a really rotten joke by kf6?
Why would you post that here? How are any of us supposed to find out what happened to your friend? None of us are likely to know how to help him better than you would. Get off the net and make some phone calls if you're really worried.
sure "someone" is playing mind games, and it involves a "Casey at the bat" punchline at the end of a sordid story about "Masey at the cat",

I have the uneasy Feeling my good intentions have led me into a trap. Kf6 is this a F#*!ing joke or it the TRUTH!

Don't feel too bad, UEC. Its kind of refreshing to see that not everyone is as cynical as I am. The whole post just reads to me like one of those fake chain emails. Ever get the one about Bill Gates and the free trips to Disney?
Anyhow, the spacing on this one makes it look like it was cut and pasted too. It doesn't "wrap-around" like it should.
Kf6 posted 10-04-99 10:45 PM ET
I can assure you this is not a joke!! I am quite worried about what happened to him and I just wanted to know if others thought anything bad happened or it was just some coincedental misunderstanding. And no I don't know him in real life so I have no idea of where he specifically lives etc.

If you can think of absolutely no way to contact him, just forget about it.
His fate is out of your hands.

Did you try getting his IP through icq. Maybe that would be useful to find his location.

This thread should have bee for the Dark Forces boards where someone would know your friend. This is Civ. We wouldn't have the sligtest clue.
Its like going to a chinese resturant, and looking for pizza. You won't find it.

I assume that masey was the host for the game?
Wouldn't his connection have timed out due to inactivity?
Don't Jedi knight games normally have a max time limit?
Perhaps he was performing the schroedingers cat experiment and his vial of poison broke?
Who knows?

Hey, yeah, perhaps it WAS Schrodinger's Cat, out for revenge.
In the work environment, it is very important to be polite and like your fellow workers. Of course, this isn�t always possible, but there is a physical law to prove its importance. The law is called Spamdinger�s Cat Paradox. It states that if you put a cat in a box with a flask of cyanide, it will not like you. Same thing with dogs, but dogs will still love you, even if they dislike you. Of course, this is also the principle behind people liking and disliking rain. If you like the rain, it obviously loves you, so therefore it is raining dogs. This can usually be described as a gentle, warm rain. If you hate the rain, obviously it hates you, so it is raining cats. This rain is generally characterised as anything other than a gentle and warm rain. You know where this is going. If you�re inside, you don�t mind the rain, so it�s raining cats and dogs, hence the expression (obviously started by an author or somebody who spends their time inside). Hey, it�s indisputable logic. Just call me a scientist.
The above theory was the basis for another theory of mine, although the new theory has nothing to do with the old theory. The new theory is like a fountain of youth. Yes, that�s right, I have found the way to be immortal. This theory is basically dependent on two simple physical laws: the defeat of entropy, and I Control the Universe. The theory itself says that if you go for a walk for an undefined period of time, and I plan on dying right in the middle of it, according to logic, I cannot possibly die. Since the length of the walk is unknown, the middle is unknown, so there is no way that I can possibly die. If I decide to suddenly finish, my life will go on as usual, with my death date sometime later in life. Of course there are certain loopholes to this theory. For example, tired feet, but we won�t discuss these loopholes at this time. Where are you while you�re walking? Well, this part is slightly confusing. While putting this theory into effect, the subject will go into a state of �limbo��perhaps the 24th, 25th, and 26th dimensions, instead of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimensions, in which a person usually exists in. The 24th, 25th, and 26th dimensions are an amazing, magical place, full of dragons and unicorns, and S-Penguons, the particle which is the cause of the subject staying in limbo, and them not dying in the higher dimensions. So, there you have it, how to be immortal.
Well, that's that, my best attempt to kill this thread. All I can offer is my sad, departing wave to Kf6, hoping that his friend, if his friend exists, is OK.

Sorry to burst your bubble penguin, but due to the fact that death cannot be determined precisely (in fact nothing can cuz everything can be divided into smaller parts) you can never set the time when you will die. It is like taking a step and thinking of it as crossing an eternity.
sir_penguin posted 10-06-99 12:34 AM ET
I must admit that I have no bubble to burst. Note those two physical laws that I used in my theories: 1. The defeat of Entropy. 2. I control the Universe.
SO
If I control the Universe, I can set the time of my own death, eh?
SP
In case you hadn't noticed, that last post was just something I wrote when I was bored in Keyboarding last year. It was a joke meant to try to kill this thread. I also noticed that you didn't pick apart my first theory. Does that mean that you accept it? Sweet.
sir_penguin posted 10-06-99 12:37 AM ET
But I enjoyed reading your response, no matter how short it was . And I'm NOT Penguin. I'm SIR Penguin. Sorry to press the point, but, as I've said, I want to distance myself from Penguin.

I have had pen pals that disappeared. It's a good idea to simply wait for a word from them. Sometimes they get back to you. And other times, they just stay gone.
