Man, what a great movie.

I can handle Pocket D, w/ some lag, and should give freedom another shot since my first attempt was short lived. I'll phone in the results.

I was just talking out of the side of my neck about the seizure. Guess i shouldn't joke about such things...

Anyway, thanks for all the helpful info, and I didn't mean to derail the topic at hand here.

Point taken. Well, looks like I'll have to forgo the PvP experience, cause freedom on my PC is a lag-tastic skip fest. I'd rather not play, than risk an epileptic seizure at the flashing, skipping scrrens i get on freedom, lol. thanks for the info, though. If i ever upgrade my system, i'll give it a shot. thanks, again.

Agreed, but I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of a 2X merit event. Trying to get onto a SF that doesn't disintegrate after the second mish has become problematic for me lately. Maybe this would motivate players to see a SF through, then again, maybe not. The only way to know for sure is to try it.

likewise. see ya next week.

there wasn't any chance of stopping you this time.

count me in for next week. same toon, more than likely. see ya then.

i will, but will gladly give up the mantle to a more qualified player, if such a player want's to step up. i've only run this one once before. just let me know if u need me to and i will refresh my memory before we start.

is this how u got transparent/smaller windows on ur game screen? and how does one take screen-shots? could anyone tell me if there is someplace specific to get info on screen-shots? have i exceeded my daily allowance of questions, yet?

we'll see. i am optimisticly woeful about this one. hopefully they won't screw this up.

i don't have anything pertinent to add to the general flow of this thread, but i had to comment on the above quote. Thank You. It's not everyone who would adopt a 5 yr old dog. They're called "man's best friend" for a reason, and i thank u again for saving one of them.

alarm set. like i said: "w/ bells on". And i gotta make up for last time's no-show.

I disagree. I think it only sounds too complicated. We're not talking about Quantum Phisics, here. All SG/VG have guidelines for just about every situation known to man. I've been inducted into a few SG's where the rules were A LOT more complicated than what's being proposed here. A quote i find applicable: "It's warm under the wing of the dragon." (Gangs of New York) That is to say, most would find a SG w/ no malicious intent preferable to the prestige factories i run into time and time again. Not to mention a SG where promotion is undoubtedly easier to achieve is a far cry from most i've seen, where nothing short of a firstborn blood sacrifice is required. But this is not to say i don't see your point, and in response i say the solution is easy: let the newbie decide for themselves what route to take. Be it SG/VG, or a loose 'ask-a-question-get-an-answer" type relationship. The latter would also free up a mentor for newbies who would opt for the former.

Like it or not, people LOVE pomp and circumstance. Why do u think there are words in the english language to define such actions? Being recognised for one's accomplishment(s) gives most people the warm-and-fuzzies. Not all people, but even money says that an overwhelming majority does. Ever been to an actual graduation ceremony where the grads frown and mope across the stage? Me neither. IMHO, it would improve group solidarity and reenforce the networking aspect i mentioned in my first post.
