Ahhh.. Finally a good battle.... been waitin fer ye to get off yer arse and rally the troops, Martok... *grins* *rubs hands* Hmm.. Methinks a blade of force would be too good to them...Methinks I shall test some of my new weaponry... *cackles*

Quote from Wolf, posted on My initial response would be: Are you running Windows? But as of Late I've noticed this is a moot point... My next question would be: Are you running on anything LESS than 3 times the OS/system " minimum requirements"? I don't care what they put on that box for the bare minimum, you won't like it running at anything less than 3 times taht amount.. so if it says 64, better go with 256. If it says 200mhz, get a 600 or up. Do you have more than 2 icons (5 max) in the system tray? If so, close them.. Never have anything more than you absolutely NEED running on a windows system. Make sure you eliminate them from start menu also.. Realplayer? Don't need it. MS OFFICE taskbar? Don't need it. Task Scheduler? Don't need it unless you want Defrag or virus checks running at regular intervuls. I know you do a lot of image work. This says to me yer cache and temp files are probably overflowing.. first go to any TEMP folder in your computer and clear out everything you can (I.E, C:\Temp, C:\Windows\Temp, C:\Windows\system\temp), and then run whatever system matience tools you can (Defrag, Scandisk, DiskCleanup). This will take the better part of the day to do, but it's something that needs to be done. And finally, go to your video card company's website and check to be certain you have the ABSOLUTE LATEST drivers for your video card. Hope this helps ya.

Quote from Wolf, posted on I am at work.. I'm always working.. I have a job since I was 13 to help my mom pay the bills.. I've made posts from my current job numerous times for the past 8 months... Soon I go back to college where I get to have a job, be in a Fraternity, AND do class work... yet I still find time to occasionally play UO... And people wonder why I smoke more than Dennis Leary in a waiting room in the maternity ward and drink so much caffine that I call a Big Gulp of Mountain Dew from 7-Eleven "a small drink"

Quote from Borg, posted on "Mega Best" you can get? Better say for how much..... If money is no object, go Geforce 3. If you want a decent card at a resonable price, Geforce 2 Ultra or Geforce 2 Pro work nicely.... If you want to be cheap you go for a Geforce 2 MX 200, 400, or just plain MX.... Or possibly even a Radon. I have no idea what your Prophet has for a chip in it..... Always keep in mind you should never look at the card's actual name or who makes it, but what chipset it has on the inside. ICQ me if you got questions.. I think BB went with my advice and bought a Asus 8800 or something with a Geforce 3 and has been happy ever since.. however Martok who DIDN'T take my advice *cackles* is not so happy with his purchase.

Quote from Martok, posted on These people obviously don't play with Borg a lot.. I swear that man can create in-game fiction for ANYTHING! The fiction he wrote for this scenario was impressive to say the least...not to mention the HUGE invasion we had with VK and GOL... That I believe was the only one done by ANY shard....

Quote from Martok, posted on Hmmm.. you know I signed on to one of the Veteran Rewards test centers about 2 months ago ( since then there have been new ones added) and ever since I picked my vet rewards on that test center, I haven't been able to choose them on any TC since that one...... Bad sign, EA.. You screw me out of my Cats Vet Rewards, and as far as you are concerned, "Falling Down" will become more than a movie to you.... I even have the money set aside for the plane ticket

Quote from Lan, posted on *laughs* No thank you... you only need to get one marriage engagement broken to ruin your taste for committment. I've decided I'm just going to be rich... Until that happens, a "good woman" will take a back seat, for once I am rich, that little problem will take care of itself.

Quote from Lan, posted on Dude, I'm just picking on you.. You know it's all good:D

Quote from Wolf, posted on Having had to help my mother raise my brother's 3 children, I can pretty much accept lethargy or laziness AFTER the child is born though....:sleep2:

Quote from Lan, posted on *cups his hand to his ear* *crack! crack! crack! crack! Then a distinct female voice* "And make sure you tell all your little "friends" on that message board that I DID NOT make you take that down..blah blah blah blah" Hmmmmm.. must be your lil lady, Lan. :D Remind me to be sure to NEVER allow you at a negoiating table......

Quote from Lan, posted on Yeah, I'd be a little reluctant to part with those as well.. doesn't have to be anything quite THAT exotic (although I'd gladly take that kat off your hands if I could afford it..hell I ain't crazy ). I'm talking, you know, just a basic accurate power broadsword, silver or no, or basically anything vanquishing and requires swordsmanship or archery.. Fight ballys.. each of them is GAURNTEED to have a magic bsword (gotten a few of vanq off it meself, and that's impressive seeing as I can't kill much with my mage at all)

Quote from Greg, posted on Gee, that's awful kind of you Greg... I mean seeing as you're our Emperor and all..

Quote from Lord Ser Brightblade, posted on The only ones I can see this change hurting is those @$$holes who go to the reagent vendor with pack lama's and horses... Now they'll actually have to FIND good stuff to sell instead of buying from a npc and then jacking up the price. If this is the kind of "hurt" this sort of change brings to the economy, I personally welcome it.

PGoH Eleven Site This is a good place to start

Anything silver of power or higher or just plain vanq, lemme know

Quote from Lan, posted on *hears a whip cracking off in the distance* WIMP! You caved!! That's why these rules aren't in effect presently. Between stupidity and the feminist movement, men gave in!

Gah... I don't see how you can like this game... The animals aren't that smart, no matter how much you train them, and more often then not they just P*$$ me off then help me.... I harken for the days of Populus where I could cause my own floods at random, make trees grow, etc...... Much better system then B&W if you ask me.. oh yeah, and I have a Geforce 3 with a 1.2ghz Athlon Tbird and 1.5 Gigabytes of ram, and that game STILL F$*%ING LAGS!!!

Quote from Martok, posted on WOHOOO!!! And my reg supply on my mage was getting low.. Man, I'm almost below 5k of each... For once EA: GOOD JOB!

Quote from Martok, posted on *nods in agreement with Martok* I agree... most excellent.

What? You mean not EVERYONE is running Windows 2000 with 1.5 Gigabytes of Ram??

Scary.. the first time I read this I thought it was a joke...... then I came to the gradual realization that it isn't... Damn, men were *%@holes.. I mean don't get me wrong.. I'd like a wife like that too, but if you even ASK for some of the things on this list, you're boud to lose 50% of your worldly possessions....

My brother Magus is also a GM scribe.

That is odd, BB... Because when I checked to see who was on, Martok also checked as did Baltazar, and all they found online were myself and Vandorn... Maybe you were or were just offline when we were on..... *shrugs* But Siun has a point.. Would you REALLY wanna go on a orc battle when they outnumber us (they didn't this trip, but they usually do) on dialup?

Hate to tell you my friend, but we already did have a small raiding party Wed. night.. No one else was on, so it was just Martok, Lance, Vandorn, and my self. Doesn't matter..seems the orcs and the undead are just as inactive lately..whenever we go to scout there, there isn't anyone to annihilate anyway. But, you have a point.. we need to do a good "Old School Asskicking" assuming we can get them to come on.. And for that matter, no one has said anything about K*J as of late either..

Amen, Brother Brightblade...... EA: Bite Me..... Couldn't agree more.. *Begins crossing off chalk marks till Shadowbane arrives*
