So don't let mike try to tell you he won. Whatever else you can say about mike_the_wino, you have to admire his consistency. When you look up gamy or gamey in the dictionary, there is his picture. Gamey is defined as: 1. BRAVE, PLUCKY - used esp. of animals Well, I can at least agree with the animal part 2. a. having the flavor of game, esp. having the flavor of game near tainting Getting warmer 2. b. SMELLY Now we're talking 3. a. SORDID, SCANDALOUS Yes, that's much like him 3. b. CORRUPT, DISREPUTABLE Bingo, we have a winner!! So the lesson for this morning is, no matter if you're dealing with mike_the_wino, Mike the wino2, or mike_the_squire, you know what to expect. Hey Axe, maybe it wasn't the best idea to ask you about Canada and take a shot at Red Sox fans in the same post. If I struck a nerve, please accept my humble apologies. They have made the playoffs. Maybe, just maybe, this is the year. YEAH, RIGHT!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 What a beautiful day! I will no more about it when the sun comes up though. Until then GOOD MORNING! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Ted, I have a satellite Internet connection. It is supposed to have downloads as fast as Broadband but I haven’t taxed it yet, uploading is pathetically slooooooooooowwwwwwww. My PBEM turns take up two 3 minutes to send most times. I have not received your e-mail yet but am looking forward to it. Thank you sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Abbott, We should walk you through how to setup PBEM helper. I had trouble configuring it, but once I pointed it to the right .exe file and tweaked a couple of things, everything was golden. I can't rave about it enough. The ease of file management and tracking is incredible. Plus, when I get emails from Axe or He Who Snarks, who also use PBEM helper, we can use the proprietary file format and I just open the file and it's automatically saved to the PBEM folder and ready to play. Lastly, they have a movie replay feature I've mentioned before that allows you to sit and watch a game movie from beginning to end (pauses between turns as the the proggie exits and loads the next movie).

Abbott Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Originally posted by Becket: Abbott, We should walk you through how to setup PBEM helper. I am willing to give it another shot. I know it is a good program IF I can get it working properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 The main thing it needs is better installation instructions. What you have to do is go to "add game" and edit the properties for CMBB -- it's looking for the CDV version. Once you point it to the BFC version's .exe on your hard drive, it should work -- hit refresh and it should find all the PBEM files in the first level of your PBEM folder. Then you just go in and edit the properties of each game to add your password, the opponent's email, and the method of file transfer. The last tricky bit is configuring the program to work with your mail program. Better techies than I can probably help you with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Originally posted by Becket: The ease of file management and tracking is incredible.So is the ease of dismantling your forces. :mad: :mad: As I just said to Becket in the second of our five battle operation: "Look, your old friend Sparky is back. Just remember -- stop, drop and roll." On a semi-serious note, I want to apologize to my PBEM partners if my turns seem a little slow these days. (Well, slower than usual) That GD-RL has a way of getting in the way, you know? And an even bigger apology to Edward Windsor who is showing tremendous patience in my snail's pace in getting our AAR finished and off to him. My promised deadline of Thursday has since come and gone but I didn't know I'd be dealing with that little fender bender yesterday. :mad: And now Paula and I are going back to Belleville for the weekend so her side of the family can fette us at a garden party Saturday. All that, plus a hefty CMAK load and an impending move in three weeks and you get the picture. Still, apologies all around. On the other hand, it is always nice to be able to say I haven't experienced boredom since about the age of 15. Too busy living. So turns out this morning and none again until late Sunday. I'll also send a couple of wedding and honeymoon pictures to Teddy Sunday. Jas :mad: n 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'm finding my role as an international man of mystery rather taxing at the moment too, which is leaving me rather less time than I like for the more trivial (yet more entertaining) things in life. It'll be done when it's ready, etc, etc. Cheers, Teddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Twitcmdr, Thank you for acknowledging the complete and utter lack of a clear victor in this match. Perhaps your tiny bir of grey matter would look at this, spend 3 days on the math necessary to prove that my score is indeed greater than your score and then I would have spend months explaining to you how this isn't a "loss", it is a "draw". I await the rematch. And I am awaiting you to make a sensible post rather than your typically idiotic drivel. You must only await the end of harvest. I, on the other hand, suspect a wait measured in decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_the_wino Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Point of order for der Brood. When a "ceasefire" is called by both sides, for whatever reason, does the game outcome still count? I don't mean some lame ass, Dave H-esque, gamey as all get out score like 48-52 score but a Major Victory. Does it still count or is it akin to crying "uncle", throwing in the towel so to speak? Both side threw in the towel just to end the game and is considered a draw? Thoughts? On a completely unrelated note, how is the BDLRM tourney going? I have never rented a mule but have had the occasional, vigorous bout of "slap and tickle", and Dave is definitely getting the "slap". Don't plan to give the lad any "tickle". How is everyone else doing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only called it quits to prevent a few more turns of clicking "go" in extra time - the result was never in any doubt. The only time I'm not happy to offer or give a ceasefire is if flags are still in dispute. Congratulations, you hurt me bad and you can join Martina in my sig. Roll on CMAK! :mad: :mad: :mad: Originally posted by mike_the_wino: On a completely unrelated note, how is the BDLRM tourney going?

How is everyone else doing? We're nearly through and it has been a TNT-packed encounter. With only a couple of turns left, there are probably still three flags in dispute (one at the factory and the pair at the Axis map edge) so the result is still far from decided. I reckon I should be first past the post, so I don't know if Dave wants to reveal the outcome to give you other maggots something to shoot for? In other news, I actually received a turn from MG last night. Wonders will never cease, but he is, or course, still a maggot.

Absolutely nuthin' Good morning Gentlemen. How the hell are you this fine morning? Me? Oh I am doing fine thank you. I picked up a few 2X4’s yesterday and 3 rolls of felt. I am going to frame the last wall on my addition and dry it in today. I also picked up a nice 8’ shop light with a reflector to hang above my workbench, I will get that up today as well. What a beautiful day it is gunna be! I haven't had this much fun since the hogs ate my little brother! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Who puts the "Cheery" in "Cheery Waffle"? Abbott, that's who.
