Joe Shaw Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Damn Kump that was funny But you forgot to call yourself pathetic, I always liked that myself. And note that I haven't forgotten the little people that helped me through the tough times this week Actually I'm DLing the new 3Dfx drivers or you guys wouldn't see me for a while. Hang in there, easy for me to say I know, but I've been there too. Me: "My name is Joe and, I'm abitanxious." Group: "HI JOE" Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kump Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Thanks for the visit back Joe. You will be sorely missed here at the weeping wall since you finally got CM. I'm going to miss your company. I enjoyed your posts and thought you were the most wise, mature, and educated of all us cry babies here. Congrats and enjoy this weekend with CM. I'm not sad to see more and more folks finally stand up and walk away from the weeping wall, but why the hell do I have to be one of those still kneeling here? Boo hoo hooooo, I want my CM!

ntg84 Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 I want mine too, but that Pz III L and Sdkfz 250/3 on the modeling table is important too. Got lots of work to do on those untill Combat Mission comes. Anyone else build 1/35 AFVs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Hey Kump... I'm not crying... But if you would slide over I'd like to sit on the bench another day or so it seems....

thomasj Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Well I guess I am crying because it's not here yet and that means it will arrive during next week, forcing me to stay up till those god aweful hours of the morning, shaving between turns to get ready for work and drinking enough coffee to make it through the day or maybe I could call in sick? yeah.......Ebola......yeah that's it boss Ebola.....feeling really bad....Huh? What's that noise.....just the TV... Man I need to get a new spell checker and input device for the keuboard, I just hear that hand/finger replacements and brain upgrades are still painfull and not quite up to par yet with other medicines.

Barbarossa Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Another day goes by and of course, no CM. Maybe next week, yea right. I do know something for sure, the last 2 copies to arrive in the U.S. will be mine followed only by Capt. Manieri's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 LOL, If I was BTS I would probably have toyed with the idea of holding Manieri's copy back for a day or two just for fun. Whether I would have actually done it I can't say for sure. ------------------ Smoker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Oh very good Smoker, first we had the USPS conspiracy theory, then the Shipping conspiracy and now you have to postulate the Evil BTS conspiracy That should keep the Captain going for a good half a dozen more posts.

Thomas Norton Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 The following should be read with a song from the Doors playing in the background.... Santa Rosa, ****, Santa Rosa. I have been here a week waiting for a (Combat) Mission. Everyday I sit here, waiting for the game, I get weaker, while Charley (my pbem opponents) squats at their computers playing the game, get stronger.... Another day without the game.... Slow death. ------------------ "The Legitimate object of war is a more perfect peace." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kump Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Hi Rob! Hey, I checked out your web page and it looks great. Noted you were wondering if you should keep the gold demo for others to download. I say absolutely. Even though most of us have, or will have (I hope) the actual game, its wise to keep hooking others onto it by providing the demo. I wish you had the game, so you wouldn't be dependant on others for screen shots. Post something here when you do get CM and have new screen shots on your site. Look forward in visiting it again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorak Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Bill Wood, Just wondering. Did you ever wargame at the dragon's nest in winston-salem? When I was younger there was a group of us that gamed there on saturdays and sundays. I know it is a shot in the dark..but what the hell.

BillWoodAgain Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Lorak, I am a transplant, though I have been in NC for 12 years. I did all my teenage/ym gaming at the Dragon's Lair and Campaign Headquarters in Norfolk, Va, the public library, a game shop near Oceana (I forget its name) and Don Gruno's Gaming garage with chain mounted table we cranked to the cieling each noght to keep things safe. I got mine today!, btw, both copies. One is slated for my good bud Ciril in Split, Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kump Posted June 24, 2000 Share Posted June 24, 2000 Well, the postman came and went for Saturday and.... yes...yes....ARGHHHHH! STILL NO CM!!!! There goes the entire CM gaming weekend. Boy, that concrete hurt when I fell to my knees at my mailbox. I ran inside the house before my neighbors spotted me crying. RANT MODE -- ON That is two weekends since BTS announced shipping pre-orders! 6/15 CC charged and earliest I have a chance to see it is Monday 6/26, maybe. Just my damn luck that my pre-order went out the very last day of shipments. RANT MODE -- OFF Oh well, time to go to the store and replace my supply of tissues, I'm all out! I can't wait to get CM (I've been saying that an awful lot) and forget this entire gruesome ordeal I've gone through. There is not a game on this planet that I can play to substitute or lessen my desire for CM. Bang head on weeping wall, bang head on weeping wall, bang head on weeping wall. Better hurry up BTS, I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this, its looking a pretty bloody mess. Bang head on weeping wall, bang head on weeping wall, bang head on weeping wall. Weeping done. Got to go mow the lawn. Woopeee, fun weekend. [This message has been edited by kump (edited 06-24-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 CM finally arrived in Fresno 6/25 (good news). I am in Detroit (bad news). GF alone with the CD for 36 hours: terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagdad Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 hey Mark IV, glad to hear it arrived in Fresno 6/25. Saturday came and went in Madera with no CM. Very disappointed, but your good fortune (or not, Detroit man) probably means Monday for sure ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Let me know, snagdad. If it survives mama-san's tender mercies (she would rather find a tarantula in the mail box than "damn wargamez") we can hot-seat one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 OK, it is now my turn to cry/whine/moan etc. Rant mode on: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Still no CM and I even received a package from Texas that was mailed on the 21st on Tuesday yet no CM !?!?!? I thought my order went out with the first batches for I placed my order back in April or early May, I know not as far back as some but...*banging head on monitor* arrrrrrrgh! Rant mode off: There.....I feel better . Group grenade hug anyone? [This message has been edited by thomasj yet again for he is way to upset to even begin to type properly!!

kump Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 WOW!!! My old favorite weeping wall thread is back on top!!! Completely forgot about this thread! Being an old timer of this thread, I'd like to welcome all new comers. You are definately welcome and please, take one of the complementary hankies as you find a position at the wall. My name is kump, and I've been here a long time. There used to be a lot of pre-order folks here, but they have long gone. A very small unfortunate few of us pre-order folks are still here. We, however, never give up hope. If things go right, I should get my CM today! The BTS gods have heard my pitiful wailing and have shown mercy by devine intervention. However, much as I would like to think that intervention was due to my lamentation at this wall, it is actually attributed to an offering I made called e-mail. Now that the game has been restocked, you should be getting it in a reasonable amount of time. If not, e-mail BTS. In the mean time, please find a position and no slobbering on your neighbors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Clark Posted June 30, 2000 Share Posted June 30, 2000 Which brings up a dumb question. Why would anyone pre-order anything? I ordered CM on 6/21 and received it on 6/25. At best, a pre-order would you get the game a couple of days before us regular folks. Big whoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
