Thanksguys. The monitor just has a dead pixel. Im lucky with just the one. Though there are so many variables to the display I dont know where to start to get the picture right. Oh well. Ill get used to it in time.

Welcome back dude, glad to see that Quaytech remembered how computers actually worked long enough to be able to fix it

thanks Coin. lol was their fault for supplying me with a dodgy motherboard when I bought from them. Had it replaced but now I think the new monitor I bought has a fault or 2. Have to call them tomorrow.

Ok Im up again. For how long who can say? Crossed fingers that should be the end of it. The problem appears to have been a faulty motherboard. It apparently worked fine but as soon as it was put in the case it went weird. So it was just replaced.

I woukd also like to appologise to the positron task force team I joined on new years day. Not a good time for my PC to go on the fritz.

Gratz Ecs only met you the other week but was fun. Well done

Happy new year to yourself too and a big Happy New year to Defiant too. I wish so many of you a wonderful new year and to some of you who have said 2005 has been a painful year for you then I hope you find 2006 to be a year of healing.

I have met some great people on defiant a naturally cautious person like yours truly would have no qualms meeting in RL. That is saying something from me.

Happy New year and peace, love and respect to you from the bottom of my heart.

/em mass hugs

Lodestar.

Happt Birthday Gen. And yes Im happy to help sounds kinda rough dude.

Well Im having a few interuptions lately so I cant enjoy it but Im glad your still having fun. Im missing out as things are but come new year Ill be back in the saddle properly.

Nicely done Plas well in. Hmm all these new 50s and oddly enough when I get Lode on I cant get teams so I alt. Im obviously not sticking it out.

Oh by the way I PMed Sag asking about how all in the Echelon have been over xmas. Hope you guys are having a nice holiday.

Again just met you but nice to see you make it well done.

Well done Flux. Nice to see you up there.

Now to lure Aerie back, but how?

I just sent her a pm cos Dark and Light isnt working. I could tell her how much shes missed.

Aves is a nice one. Gets my vote and I know he put alot of work onto it.

Ok there are issues still and Im having to wait until the store opens tech service just after new year. Im not happy at all and though I can get in game its putting me off and spoiling my fun.

So Ill only be on when I really feel like it. Thanks all for your support and no thanks at all to Quaytechs lack of support.

Dont get me wrong. I think the current Hammi Calender is fine. The pros outweigh the cons. And yes we have had second attempts when the first goes south which seems fair.

As for Private Raids as I say Im open to suggestions. Especially when as you say its more of a trial and error thing. I myself want to get more up on Hammi tactics anyway.

And again I say I do it for the fun. Not the HOs. I dont rate them anyway so if I did do it for them I might not be inclined to feel a raid was worth it. The fun however is

And yes as Dime says. Less people on EU servers. In fact I think some of cryptics plans have taken too much into account who is on US servers when making game changes but thats another thread.

Same here. Its like a panic button that I seldom use. I just run, recover and get back in asap generaly.

I have to throw in my apologies for missing out on this in the end. Do we blame a hangover? Do we blame me being busy? Nope. I was awoken christmas morning by my 19 month old nephew leaping onto my back from a sofa (was staying at my sisters and got the floor to sleep on) which led to me being on painkillers and having the doctor out as I was hardly able to walk let alone do anything else!

From what I have heard it was a good night all round and it's a shame I missed it.

Here's to the next one!

Oooh ouch. Are you recovering ok? Seen and experianced enough back injuries to know what thats like.

I dont even enter most of my toons in these contests as no one ever likes most of mine. Two of my villans might have a chance but one was too low to get in to the Bay.

Well gratz anyway to the winners. Well done

Oh gratz Miss Killah. Only recently met you but nice to see you made it well done.

The reason given for monthly raids was down to low turn out and low success rate. Once a month got us a decent turn out and better success rate. But being as open and rare as they are this gives us the downside of grot slippers getting in and ruining it and if one goes wrong the second attempt may not be for another month.

Well Im open to suggestions. Im a little cautious of the private raid scheme as thia will put others out who deserve a shot. And it spoils the community spirit of it all. Thats the real reason I do things like Hammi Raids. For fun not HOs. I have 2 unused.

Welcome back, good news for us. Well I hope it wasnt anything too disastrous that stopped your plans.

Ah yes that would explain how at one point I seemed unfamilair. But Id reckon from what you said you both know me now.

Well I havent been on the receiving end of any dirty chats from your sis so I dont feel any weirdness. All I can say is well done for speaking up. I guess you did the right thing by lightening your chest so how your sister feels about it is not your problem. Dont let it eat you up.

So all that remains is to say see you in game and take care.

Well hello and welcome. Its a nice amos here on defiant and a good quality community the likes of which I have not seen anywhere else on an mmo

Was fun for the most part though I missed alot of it sadly and had no sound so I couldnt enjoy evo Im afraid.

Hope you all enjoyed yourselves.

All those villans were a perfect excuse for me to go pick pockets and blame it on them. Unfortunately I couldnt find Shockwave who was a bouncer with me at the last PDP. Still had some confiscated contraband we could have used or sold on.

Seriously I missed alot of good events over the holiday which is a shame as I couldnt use them to wish so many of you a great holiday.

So Ill say it now. Hope you had a great xmas and all the best in the new year.

In a thread elsewhere I did not get to these forums earlier. So even though I dont celebrate xmas myself I hope many of you had a great one and all the best for the new year.

Just back on for a bit. I have the pc semi working. Intereseting Flush because both my motherboard and my graphics card were new upgrades. Unfortunately customer care means nothing to Quaytech so Im flying blind. Ill be on and off I think until new year. I might be at the party fingers crossed.
