Would someone do me the favor of running over to WPC and PMing Sergeant P. A. Muldoon to tell him I'm here and would be delighted to talk? He just tried to send me a PM...
Yo, all my AC2 homies: who we missin'? Post here and let's talk about them and what to do about it.
Though to go a lot further back, I really would like to talk to Illuminatus, if I thought he'd listen.
Back to Googlie, he said he'd come sign up, but hasn't yet. No harm at all in you or anyone else pinging him. We all miss Googlie, and for that matter, Googly Boogly, to make it extra confusing.
-And to top it all, I PMed Sid Meier with an invitation 10 days ago.
I was sent a PM from Larrin, my first graphics protégé and a heckuva quick study, this afternoon, but if he checks the email address I have for him very often, it's taken care of. However, if anyone's over at the Pond to PM Alexander anyway, please get Larrin, too...-Seriously; Larrin posted again there this morning, seeming to have not gotten either of my attempts to make contact yesterday.
I just PMed Kyrub. We will hopefully see if he does anything.kyrub is by browsing for the second day in a row. Reaching out does work...
... And Zkribbler....
Heck, I should PM Dale myself, since he's already a member.
As I hinted in the PM, I've realized the futility of arguing on the net, myself - I guess we're growingupold, if belatedly.
Too many other things going on, like family, scouts, games.When you say scouts, do you mean the Scouting Program?
Huge good news for WPC - one of my secret sources (it was Nikolai) just told me they've finally fixed the "problem with logging in and registering on WPC" and asks me to put the word out. I just did.
:danc: for them. ;b;
I also just quoted from a real PM and should ban myself. Do not ask me who my source was, though.
He's Australian. On the weekends the rough types hunt each other out in the bush.Dale, does that go too far?
Mostly people in the Civ community use the same handle, or similar, throughout the community, AFAIK.
And never any harm with trying with someone missing - they might not come back, but they might if they get the ping. You never know - and former members, of course, are proven quantities compared to newbs, who we DO want, but even the most promising ones mostly wander off after a month... You just have to shotgun to everyone and play the numbers. It pays off.

Dale mentions that Foster's sucks, IIRC.
I reached out to an old friend a week ago -great guy, though we'd quarreled over a creative collaboration not long before we lost touch, but not immediately before - and it can't be a coincidence that he showed up at the place where I pinged him shortly afterwards after five months away and got active.
But no answer to my ping. ... Message received.
[furrows brow] I'd have sworn that not only was he flat dead wrong in our point of contention, but that I, at the most unfavorable interpretation I'd find even faintly reasonable, got no more nasty about it than he did. In actual fact, I was guilty of no more than asserting my hard-earned experience and authority on the subject and getting a little stubborn. I kept suggesting we move on and finish a rough draft of the project before we fought that one issue out. Thing is, it's just stupid to put your foot down and treat a collaborator as art robot in the area of his expertise - I wasn't even the one who walked away and killed a lovely project, out of line as he was in every way, and I let it go a long time ago. Sighhh.
Most of the invitations I put out don't work, so it's not that, but it just puzzles me that someone I think so highly of can be so small about something so long dead. :(
Oh, my machine was basic specs 3 years ago when I got it - if I do any BE modding, it will be with screenies someone supplied me - I've never had 5, but did a pile of avatars when it came out anyway.I will probably not get involved with Civ:BE due to a very limited financial budget. My computer was basic and standard 4 years ago.
Actually, I should upload said pile to the installed stuff, shouldn't I? I think I'll do that now.
That must be when I'm asleep.
