Just updated ... not that they will make much difference to my 8600M GT anyway!

Aha ... that explains it ... in that case I voted from my girlfriends a couple of hours ago and from home too! Thanks Gorilla

SHADOW>XI< click yes Nope, there is no YES button on my screen. Tried with different browsers too. Where is that button meant to be?

Ok, you all know I am an IDIOT, but how the hell do you vote once you get on to the page?

NOMINATE? He's there already!

Hi there RDKL I've been trying to figure out how to pronounce your name so I guess in game I'll just call you "RD" when I need help. Thanks for making me feel young, I'm only 48! And thanks for the thaws too. As you have seen, there is a really good crowd on these servers. I'm sure you'll have a blast as we all do. Welcome.

Damit1 You know how sometimes you find the same person at the receiving end of kinife or gun time after time in a round? Very funny for the shooter...not so much for the "Catcher" l lol yeah there was one game a couple of months ago I was throwing "tactically random" frags and auto fire and got Angel about 8 times in a row. I actually got "FU Bosun" out of her so she must have been pissed!

BiG CheesE are you near Lulea? If so, I will get my friend to talk some sense into you! If not, then I wish you all the best! Please let us know how things go.

Hi VHS2 Just learn a few important phrases like "BEHIND YOU" or "I HATE BOB BARKER" and you will be fine!

The Flush I agree, we don't want to hurt any of our members...most of our members are under 250 so maybe we set it at 300? I'm not the most technological person but ghost thought that his ping was lagging everyone else so maybe setting it at 300 would help. Since he's not in XI, probably not an issue for him personally (although he is a good guy, just has a terrible ping!) but do we have any members with pings over 300? Yeah that would be me - I normally run around 275 on a good day but run over 300 about 20% of the time. I also posted in another thread, and the feedback I got was that us members in Australia/NZ didn't seem to be causing a problem. That said, 300 seems to be a reasonable ping limit, and I would support it if it looks like it's causing problems for the majority.

Yeah fuck the tube - get some skills and spray and pray like me lolz!

Hi Janey, I'm only new to the Clan and don't know you that well yet but here are some thoughts. Just to qualify my comments a little, I have been separated/divorced since Xmas Eve 1993... What you are describing seems to be a normal reaction to a major life change, and the good part about it is that you are recognising what your reaction to stress is. It is much healthier for you to chatter on about nothing as a stress reaction than chosing to consume excess alcohol or drugs etc. From personal experience (myself and close friends) what I would suggest is to start doing some regular exercise and make sure you are looking after your diet which should help with the stress. The other REALLY important thing is to accept that you are going to have ups and downs, good days and bad days (but things will overall get better). Have you thought about trying to slowly give up the medication? Good luck with the job hunting, and DON'T stress if you don't get the first one! Cheers Bosun

bazza the word thirsty? Yeah, and Drink!

Woo Hoo two more targets! ... I mean members ...

Currently where I am: $1.45 a litre and I am not happy as it has gone up 10 cents in a week. That's equivalent to: 5.48/gallon 1.01 euro/litre 0.88 pence/litre Maybe I'm not that badly off after all, though my car has a 75 litre tank...

WOO HOO! Thanks guys, can't wait to put on the tags and jump into the servers! I did make an intro post a while ago, but now seems an appropriate time to let you guys know a little bit more about me. I live in north Queensland in Australia, land of crocodiles, dengue mosquitos and the wet season - it has been raining here constantly for months but at least it is warm. 48 years old (so have had plenty of practice being an idiot) happily divorced for about 17 years with two grown up girls whose pictures I will NOT be posting lol. I do have a great significant other ATM - lets me game all I want! Yeah my ping is bad but that's what you get for living at the end of the world I guess. And I play on an Inspiron 1720 laptop hooked up to a decent monitor and keyboard so that is my OTHER excuse for getting killed all the time. I have a really great job which takes me away from internet access for about 6 months of the year, but then again it gives me 6 months of the year off too! I can't say too much about the job on a public forum but it's with the Government and I get to play with guns and boats. The only downside is I have to pass the same fitness test as the 18 year olds which is causing me some grief. My next fitness test is on Saturday and if I don't pass I will be stuck on shore for a while getting PT'd to death! Thanks to Sonavabich for sponsoring me, X-RAY for running the application and cbags the PM saying I can have my tags! Bosun

How about a facility where a poll can be run to vote a map out of rotation? If there are a few complaints about a map then maybe a poll could be run over say 3 days then if a large majority are not in favour of the map it could be pulled. Maybe a 2/3 majority?

Got it too. Nothing major, just a consolidation of all the bug fixes etc released through previous updates.

Crap now I need to buy a new PC so I can play CRYSIS! That was impressive ... can anyone mod COD4 FTAG so we can try that?

Hi mate, good to have another Aussie around. Don't forget to hang it on NITRO for being a Kiwi. Wish I had your ping though. I'm in FNQ so I'm a bit far from the world...

What is this, be nice to a Kiwi Day? I remember when you got the tags NITRO, shit has it been that long already? Happy Anniversary, I'll have a beer for ya!

The funny thing is, now that he is a Federal Politician and Cabinet Minister, he has backed away from a lot of the political rhetoric in his songs!

{DS} Giggles Ok 1st I understand why some ppl camp but it has gotten out of hand when you have 3 or 4 ppl camping all the spawn point and killing you as u spawn so I understand what you mean,But as some have said it gives me great pleasure to kill the camper But isn't that what happens at the end of every FT game? Securing the opposition spawn so you can freeze the last one? I have to admit it does piss me off in non FT games though...

Hey all you COD4 Freezetag players, I have just finished the best and longest leave I have ever had - nearly 3 and a half months of Freezetag, ha ha! Unfortunately I now have top go back to work for a while - I'd rather not, but I have to pay the bills somehow. I'd just like to say thanks to everyone (idiots) in the servers who has made my time off so interesting, I'm actually not getting too bad a score from time to time, and generally having a ball. They say that rank has it's privileges, I'm not sure about that, but on this patrol I have my own cabin, with ensuite, AND a porthole so I can actually see out into the world...I only go down 1 ladder to the mess. Any navy guys out there will understand why I am happy. Anyway, I will be playing with real guns, (brand new 12.7mm (50 cal) HMG) driving a brand new boat and generally having a whale of a time. We are nearly out of phone range, so the 'net will drop out soon. See you in the servers in a while! Cheers, Bosun
