I don't think I am having this problem because of that. I have a P3 500mhz, 128 megs of RAM, 16 meg TNT graphics card. So I have well beyond the system requirements. I wouldn't think it was my modem because it worked fine with both demos. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Chad, I am not sure I understand you 100%. Is your question because you might have to wait 2-3 weeks for the game are you better off never having it? My vote would be for 2-3 weeks.....forever not having it is too long (I already have mine and it is worth any wait except forever). ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

I still haven't gotten it to work.

I have a Motorola SM56 PCI modem if that is any help. Peng is gonna kill me if I don't get this figured out.

Schrullenhaft, Thanks for the answer but that is all greek to me. I have a pretty good system so it shouldn't be taxing it's ablities. I should have made note in my intial post that it NEVER happened with the demo.

When I am signed online....it doesn't matter which of my ISPs I am using....the game knocks me off line and I have to resign on. This happens when I am playing online and doing file transfers AND if I am not......Any ideas?

There are so many highlights that it is hard to pick just one but I have chosen 2. The thing that sent me from being very curious to putting me over the edge was the Alpha AAR between Moon and Fionn. I was on the edge of my seat each day waiting for the next turn to be released. It was very tense and gripping and I wasn't even playing. That was when I was sure we were dealing with something special here. The other can be summed up in this quote from the now famous "Of Cabbages and Kings" thread: "SS, You are a CABBAGE! you are green and leafy and you smell bad when you are cooked too long. Salting and marinating in oak barrels is too good for you,and no one will ever top you off with some nice white wine. I think massive amounts of alcohol might help to mellow you somewhat and perhaps give you a more pleasant taste. But essentially you are sour and spoiled and not fit for human consumption, except in the most dire of circumstances. Even when concilliation is rubbed generously on your broad green leaves and into your stems like a savory paste, you reject it on grounds that it is actually a lump of cold poisonous evil, as the use of smilies obfuscates bad intent. In My Humble Opinion, you are a nit-picking, bad-tempered, grudge-harboring, humorless,thin-skinned, girly-man. I for one will avoid you and your posts. Since this post is supposed to be aboout cabages and kings, and the vegetable has been served. on to the kings....to hell with them too. Peng Official Notice: No smilies were used in this post.However, during the composition of this post several smilies were tortured to death, by me, with great huge pointy sticks and jolts of electricity and hot pepper extracts rubbed into their naughty bits." ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Thanks dude...I am outa here. See y'all in a week and a half. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

My plane leaves for Venive in 3 hours. There is the threat of thunderstorms here. I am supposed to have a 1 hour lay over in Frankfort but if my plane is delayed too much I might get stuck there. Any of you in Frankfort want to show me the town if I get stuck?

Jon, when sending PBEM files you will one of the following: Movie only Plot only Movie and plot So don't be alarmed if you receive a file that only has a movie or you only plot. It is by design. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Hey Maximus...we showed some restraint there didn't we? ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

all preorders should be out monday so my guess for you would be shipping tuesday or wednesday. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

One bright spot (I can't believe I'm even saying this) it looks like my card has been charged for at least one of the copies I ordered. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Captain... I think that is exactly what they are saying. I believe I ordered just after the poster offer stopped....I guess I am beat for playing before I go away...oh well I won't be thinking about it (too much) while on vacation and at least I will know that when I get home it will be waiting for me......but still the King is bummed....anybody live in Italy and wouldn't mind if my wife and I stopped in to say hello..We'll bring lots of wine...I promise. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Captain...this might make you feel better. I ordered a buddy of mine something from Amazon on Saturday. Monday I got an email saying it was shipped that day...the next day he called me to tell me it was in his hands. I'm not saying you will redeive the same one day turnaround but it is possible. And I would be suprised if you weren't kissing postmen by Saturday. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

I believe it was October 1999. Hope that puts me in the top 20% or some of you 10 day delivery guys will have it in your hands before me because I go on vacation 6/18 for 10 days. I also found it through Avalon Hill site and been following it ever since. The funniest thing about back then was it sent you to BTS' site where the descibed what they were doing and at the end it said "It will be done when it is done" ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Maybe I was wrong about Matt being a nice guy......well he has always been nice to me. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Rob you had to know that other knuckelheads (like me) would post to this..even if you did say please. PS..Your best bet for a private conversation with Matt would have been an email directly to him. Beneath his outwardly gruff persona his is really a nice guy and will email you back. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Nearly 2 years of waiting and unless I get lucky enough to be in the 1st batch I will be away on vacation when the game arrives....However, if I am fortunate enough to be in that 1st batch I may have it by Friday and be able to give my,what I assume will be, bleeding fingers a rest when I depart on Sunday.....Someone keep thier fingers crossed for me. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Yeah dude you must have done something wrong. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

I will NEVER copy the disc for any reason....Hell I just ordered a copy for my father to make sure he gets it. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

"early next week" or is Monday "early next week" ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

I figured I would bring this back up before it went away without an answer. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC

Topic: Mr. Peng is wrong Is not. (The idiots needed someone to respond for them.)

That was a pretty funny one Marty. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC
