Seanachai Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Truth be told, I'm almost completely insane. But I'm hearing some very disturbing things. I'm hearing remarks about PBEM going the way of the dinosaurs. I'm after hearing people that aren't complete idjits tell me that BFC is talking about tossing off the ability to play PBEM games like it was something as inane as having a preference for the colour 'blue'. I'm still on a dial-up. This game is my one, single link to a wider world of complete, fecking, bloody tossers. Will CM Bloody Whatever ignore my need to play the game against my so-called 'peers'? If so, why would I bother? Having suckered me into a horrible dependence on playing games against other human beings, why would I ever buy a game that took that away? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Begone Sean. Go back to the thread where you belong. And at least read the threads that explain what's going on before moaning about it based on rumour. (nice quote, though) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I just took my step into the 90's and started my first PBEM. By the time I get a new computer for the next game, the game will be in the bargain bins. I think we will be playing CMx1 for a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 hurt look All I want is to be reassured that I'm completely insane, GreenAsJade! It ill behooves a man of my stature to have to contemplate being 'almost' completely insane. I want to be told that there is no bloody way in the freaking Universe that PBEM will go away in CMX2, or made completely obsolescent. Now, be a good Grog, and either tell me that there's no way that PBEM will be undoable in CMX2, or give us a kiss! And Rleete, you East Coast bunny fondler, go to the Thread of threads, where I may abuse you in the way that you so truly deserve, or bugger off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I just started five simultaneous PBEM games...my first PBEM gaming ever in 5+ years of playing CM. Yea, Row V. Never started one even out of curiosity until a week ago. Nice in it's own peculiar way, but i've got mixed feelings. I crave the instant gratification of TCP/IP. It's like a drug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Steve? Where is the Grammont?! All I want is to be told that I'm insane! I want the BFC equivalent of thorazine, godsdammit! I want to be told that even my most inane and ridiculous fears about a lack of PBEM are meaningless. Nothing. Idiocy. I'm used to being told that I'm a meaningless nothing idiot. But I insist on being told by those in authority! This is America, 2005! I insist on being dismissed by the Very Highest Authority. And I don't mean Dick Cheney! I want to be dismissed by an authority I can get behind. I'm not asking that much. I just want to have all my fears dismissed. Isn't that what Homeland Security is all about?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoolaman Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I can't give you an official diagnosis of insanity as only BFC can, but the last word on PBEM was something like: "We plan to have it in there if at all possible" Which means unless some vital technical issue makes it totally impossible, it will be in. So you might have to be content with near insanity for a few months more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! attempts to touch nose, and nearly puts out an eye... Just what I'm saying! blearily looks at the vast body of complete idjits that make up the internet community I'm just after saying! Where would an utter idjit like myself be, if he couldn't play PBEM against the CM community, eh? knowing look, somewhat marred by over-balancing and knocking the wine glass into the keyboard... I'm just saying! I was saying something, wasn't I? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
