Abwesende Spieler/ Absent Players Thread

[izzi]

thanks for reminding me that i finally need to learn how to ski once again, sorry for my last absences

[McMonkey]

I am in a hurry so I just played Seeds of Greatness and the the short Star Trek scenario now. In the morning I will play the rest of my turns.

[izzi]

I hate when I can't finish what I began, but I can't play with you any longer I moved away from my parents' home to my own place. I don't have any PC there and I don't know when it could change, so please find somebody to take my place.

For now I can say that it was a pleasure to play with you, but I will surely come back someday

Good luck Izzi. Hope to see you back here some day

Which games do we need replacements for. I know Bonaparte III is one.

[Radyserb]

Bonaparte III
Seads of Greatness
Blitzkrieg ----> Ingvar?

[Ingvar]

Ok, I guess I can take on some more games.
Now it has cme to that every time I log on, there is a turn waiting for me, to be played. Which is good, I guess.

[McMonkey]

I have to go out tonight so I only have time to play a couple of the quick games. Will post the rest tomorrow night.

[Ingvar]

So, which games exactly need players now?

[Radyserb]

Bonaparte III (French) and La Belle Epoque 3.1 (USA)

[Ingvar]

Haha, I may have a very serious problem.....

My very old and crappy computer is failing, that is it always takes a few tries to start it up and then it crashes in a while.
I seriously doubt it is going to last long.

I´m a student with very little money in a country with a horrible economy, so if the computer fails I will probably be out, for a long time at least.
Could maybe get a new computer around christmas/next summer, if I manage to save something up. But everything is so insanely expensive due to horrible currency.

Anyway, I will of course notify if it anything happens.

But then I can only hope this computer lasts a bit longer!

[Radyserb]

Maybe the motherboard is broken-down

[Ingvar]

It is very likely that is the case, It is certainly not a software failure, unfortunately.

Having to go to a public library to do all school assignment and tests over the internet is going to be a bitch.

Don´t think installing Civ 2 on one of those would be very popular though...

[Dario]

where are you from Ingvar?.
Lot of new people since the day i quit the community.

[Ingvar]

I´m from Iceland. (Just updated profile to show it. See no reason not too.)
It is a large island with a tiny population, in the northern Atlantic.

Although the climate is a lot milder than the name suggests!
By the sea at least is, which is were most people live.

[McMonkey]

Oh man, that's not good! I'm racking my brains to think of a way to get a very cheap replacement. I will ask around to see if anyone has an old laptop they are getting rid of. Lots of people upgrade their computers just to have the most up to date gadget even though their current one still works ok. Any idea of how much it would cost to send one to Iceland form the UK via post? It would be a shame to lose a reliable player such as yourself because of an unreliable computer
