Blood & Iron: Friday Nights Bash II

[unmerged(17563)]

Heh funnily enough I was gonna ask for a pause so that I can go and vote

but remember not all of us are Americans, its a bit rude to ask us to wait for your elections... voting here takes 15mins tops so I could just go afk

up to everyone

 

[Lamprey]

I can tell you what'll happen and save you the time. Bush'll look like a deer caught in the headlights anytime he gets a question that Cheney's crib sheet didn't cover, Kerry won't give a straight answer to any question about his position on the war again, and they'll congratulate each other on their commitment to family values.

Can't you just tape the thing? It sure as heck won't affect the way you vote anyway

Me, I'm staying home this election. When asked to pick between a moron and a flake, I prefer to do neither and reserve the right to complain about whoever wins.

hehe, some would argue that doesn't give you the right

 

[Donnie D]

Really ?
Well, we won´t....
So starting as last Week I suppose ?

 

[Gaius Marius I]

i was going to watch the second presidential debate myself as well...

also, are we still running on 1.03b, or should i upgrade to 1.03c?

 

[Lamprey]

We're running 1.03c, get the latest executable. Come to think of it, a show I've been meaning to see is on at 9pm - so, how's 10pm for a starting time? It'll cut out playing time, but we need to sacrifice our fun time at the altar of Dubya

10pm EST ok for everyone?

 

[Gaius Marius I]

give us till 10:15PM EST to move from our tvs to our computers, other than that the time sounds good...

 

[unmerged(17563)]

10pm EST is 11:30am my time, I hope I dont waste my afternoon with a bad game gentlemen

 

[Donnie D]

Is this earlier than last week or later ?

Edit : First started at 9 PM EST
Ohh hell, please, cant we start the game earlier ?

Edit 2: I got a problem.
It seems like I wont be able to take part in this weeks game.
But it would be possible for me if we set the game about 15 hours
later....

 

[sanmartin]

Does this mean I get to sub? Or do you have someone else. If so, Donnie D, send me a plan of what you would like me to do.

 

[unmerged(27981)]

Hehe Lamprey i'm making a flash movie with your ideas about the crip sheet for bush

Thanks for postponing the game, i'm looking forward to the debates and victoria.

You can't come Donnie? What time is 10 EST in Germany?

San Martin, if you play would you not leave on a rehost? or when the game crashes? If you don't i''m sure you could play with us tonite

 

[Gaius Marius I]

i suppose i should install 1.03c now, see what happens, hopefully it doesn't adversely affect my single player 2 sicilies game that i started a couple days ago, since that one is going quite well...

 

[Gaius Marius I]

well, installing 1.03c was a big no-no, i reloaded my 2 sicilies game, let it run a few weeks, then noticed that all my provs now have a 0.00% growth rate, i tried reloading again, but it was the same. this problem definetly has to do with some sort of incompatibility between the save and the new 1.03c. I'm going back to 1.03b...

means i'll have to do a reinstall of the game... what fun...

edit: also, i looked this up, the presidential debate is actually an hour and a half, not an hour, so it'll actually be on from 9PM EST to 10:30PM EST (7-8:30PM MDT)

 

[unmerged(17563)]

crap!

I installed 1.03c as well

guys the time is just too damm late for me I am not spending my whole day inside, I am taking my son into the parklands to play with his dog I may or may not be back here in time, if not I will quit this game

 

[Gaius Marius I]

alright, i reinstalled my game to 1.03b, after loading up my save, i had the same problem, but i waited a little longer and when my almost fully reasearched tech was finally completed, the pop growth went back to normal suddenly...

 

[unmerged(17563)]

Oh fuck this, its just not on to delay a game for your stupid politics!

I dont give a shit about American politics and I wont have my day ruined because of it. Find a new Russia

 

[Lamprey]

I won't be able to make it either as IRC seemed empty when I checked except for Kle. Looks like people watching the debates (if you hear something NEW I'll eat my socks) are still not around. Rather than blow my night waiting, I'm following LE's lead and going out.

 

[unmerged(27981)]

Becky, were not trying to ruin your day. I at least have a respect for your day as well, but you have to understand this. This election is very important, more important than any in the recent past. You should care about American politics and who is the American president because it does indeed affect every person on this earth. Every citizen has a stake in this election, not just us Americans, as America is involved in everything, hence it is involved in the world.

I would not like you to leave the game just because of this.

If its so important to the whole world then where is my voting slip??? Your so called democracy is stupid.

I'll think about it, anyway we are leaving it till next week

 

[unmerged(27981)]

You know its foolish to have the whole world vote on our leader
just because he happens to lead the free world as well.

Thanks for reconsidering. So its definately off tonite?

Edit: We're not a democracy, we're a republique
