Nidan1 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Guess what?.... I just received some information that tells me that anyone living west of the mississippi river will receive their game after, repeat after, the game gets shipped to the rest of the country... something about all of those folks being anti-European.

Shoot, thats me! Oh well. There are other things in life than getting CMBB sooner than others. Atleast I can give the Canadians a hard time about getting it before them!

Nidan1 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Oh...didn't I say that the shipment to states west of the Mississippi would be after the Canadian shipment? Something about being anti-Canadian as well. I dont think BFC is punishing anyone who pokes fun at the Aussies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Murray Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Who friggin' cares?!!! As long as they get the damn game out in a reasonable amount of time & nobody on this side of the pond has to wait too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liebchen Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I think that the opening questions are a little overwrought. Like the release of the game -- which was released when it was ready -- the answer is simple: You will receive it when you receive it. :confused: There's not a damned thing that you can do about it. In fact, if you worry about it too much, you might just send out enough brainwaves to disrupt your karma flow, resulting in your CD ending up misdelivered or delivered in damaged condition. :eek: Just go with the flow. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine that you're sitting by a beautiful lakeshore -- with a laptop on your lap playing CMBB, of course! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SnarkerII Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I got no mail today. I never get no mail. I think my game already shipped and my mailman grabbed it, went home and started playing. Oh, and for you Canadians - I have it on no authority whatsoever that your customs inspectors plan on doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallybob Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I gotta admit (with my Alabamian-East-of-the-Mississippi-self)that this whole(European taunting)thread has been (oh, yeah, Canadians too...danged Quebec folks[too close to Europeans]) I will enjoy all this stuff, and whenever my game gets here (soon I hope) it will get here. Until then, I can but laugh at shortness of temper. That and eat daid things that most other countries justly decry as "roadkill". Spam. LOL Yeah, and I challenge most anyone here to PBEM. Just 'cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 If I were packaging and shipping the CMBB disks, I would probably start at the beginning of the list and work down. When I had them ALL packaged, I would make one trip to the Post Office. IOW, everone's CD would be shipped last if it were up to me. The one exception would be Seanachai's disk. I would give his order special treatment with a hammer, and ship it a week after the others. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Khann Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Originally posted by MrSpkr: Texas ain't no state -- it's a whole 'nother country.Agreed. Now if we could just get the U.S. government to acknowledge the sovereignty of Texas, you'd be poised to assume your rightful place in the world. Which is of course at the end of the line, right alongside the Canadians and Australians. Papa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 So, what has Madmatt been doing for the past few days... licking stamps? He's probably over at the distribution center "motivating" the guys stuffing the envelopes. I don't doubt that all of the pre-orders will be mailed on 9/20, if not sooner.

Boo Radley Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I have a question concerning MsSpnkr's "Hit List". I have a rather low number (5), due in part to my ability to annoy the aforementioned MdmSprnklr. So, will my game with MgmSprklr start the same day the game arrives (will he play several games at once), or will I have to wait a few weeks?

Boo Radley Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Yes, I know oh, Pantless One. My post was a satirical take-off on MrsSprchn's, "I have a low number, neener-neener-neener" thread.

MrSpkr Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 Boo, Boo, Boo . . . In suchb a hurry for your demise? I shall send you a file when I receive my copy of CMBB (PSST! Bald One! You are sending that out EARLY, aren't you?) We shall play a fun little scenario involving partisans, and soon-to-be dead or dying German rear echelon types. That is where I would imagine you would have spent the war -- in the rear area, polishing the chrome on the officer's cars, and holding doors open for the various and sundry important personages that might pass your way daily without ever acknowledging your pointless, dreary existence. In other words, much like your life today. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 At the risk of posting something vaguely on-topic, I would like to point out that many of us (including Europeans) received TacOps on Monday, i.e. three days (including a weekend) after its official release. So Mac users at least should start checking their mail boxes on Monday, even if they are Rightpuddlians. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agua Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Ahhhhh.... so THAT is what the bolding is about. I figured those were the folks he knew were going to really kick his azz. Moreover, if he had followed my directions to begin with, he wouldn't suffer from the embarassment engendered by this most recent display of ignorance as I expressly told him he did not have my permission to add my name to his silly list.
