for doing absolutely NOTHING. All I was doing has happily chatting away(not fast enuff for the spam filter) and suddenly a message comes up "You have been suspended from Gameranger for thirty minutes" I wish more people would use MaGChat or something so I wouldnt have to use that buggy POS that wont even host Ares games correctly anymore.

Yeah, that happened to me yesterday, on the old version of Gameranger, after I'd been signed in for ages. Got a thirty minute ban. Bizarro.

Happened here before as well, only my version was rather recent. Was was weirder was that I hadn't been chatting with anyone.

Uh, hmm. That doesn't sound like alot to be angry about. GR is quite a good medium, too.

Ah, nostalgia. Remember the days of "I GOT BANEND FROMGR! Posted Image

" threads? Posted Image

It's probably a server issue which has cropped up recently. Doubtless Scott Kevill will fix it in time.

Hrm, you all got banned and Mr. Angel says it's probably due to a server error or somesuch...

Does this mean I get to point and laugh at all of you? Please?

I say we form a giant mob with torches and pitchforks, then go lynch Kevill, poke his server to death with the pitchfork, and burn the general area where he lives.

What if Scott Kevill resists and uses • on us? Yours may be better than everyone elses (even though Laguna and Avatara shared they're •'s 50/50) and though they may all have infinite amounts (except for the 10% you stole) I hardly think that we will break through his defenses.

Once upon a time, an Ares board discussion went hopelessly silly, once again...

Laguna, it's the sticks we all have infinite of, not the things that don't show up on the board text.

Oh, my bad. I thought you said you stole the [triangle] things, but obviously.. hrm. Well, sorry. If you want, I'll loan you 10% of my infinite •'s, and then you can have 20% in general over everyone else. Then we can split 33/33/33 with Pallas and then cut the .3•% over to the rest of the board members. They need a fighting chance, after all.

We've been over this. You do not have infinite sticks. Or triangles for that matter.

So would that mean that I would get .3% of a • even though I've only been on gameranger once, lagged so much that it disconnected me and froze my computer and really ticed off the guy on the other end because of that?

I meant, "Joveia", btw...

Yes, Laguna, we certainly have been over this, but I'm afraid that you are mistaken when you say that I don't have infinite sticks. And I believe that everybody starts out with a few ?s. So Posted Image

at you!

The sticks you stole are past their date of expiry.
