Down Time: 8/27 3:00 AM - 9:00 AM EST

[WRoss]

So inspired by the episode of "The Guild" (www.watchtheguild.com), I am wondering what I am going to do for 6 hours while the game is down? I'd like to hear what you are going to do in the 6 dark hours in which that abyss of addiction is missing. My ideas are:

- Play addictinggames.com
- Watch porn
- Start a GSA (Gemstone Anonymous) group
- Watch porn
- Scroll through Mudconnect.com
- Watch porn
- Play on-line Poker

Yeah, they are all pretty boring, but I'm sure someone else has some more interesting things

[The Ponzzz]

Sleep and work here.

I'm selling shit on craig's list. 10 listings to 9 sales- within 12 hours. Easy peasy... selling gemstone stuff is way more time consuming.

edit: moving from minneapolis to nyc means having to trim the excess... and good riddance.

madden 10. turntables. spliff break somewhere in there.

[Asha]

Get sexy with myself. Watch bacon slowly grill, then eat it in some bread. Draw a picture of me playing Gemstone and winning, with really good shading and using every colour in the pencil box. Take a shit. Work on my spider eradication device which is basically just a crutch from the hospital with a shoe taped to the end. Play Farmville and probably get sexy with myself once again.
Brilliant.

That little fucker you have as your avatar? I hate him. I don't know why, but I'm absolutely certain: I hate that insolent little bastard. And to be honest, I have no idea why. Nevertheless, I'd love to hear that five minutes after that photo was taken, that kid gave to the world indisputable proof of spontaneous human combustion.

Sleeping. Yay for being on the west coast.

[Madcap]

It must be getting cose because SGE wouldnt even connect to the server, and now I get all the way to Stormfront before getting booted. ha.. GS, it's worse than any substance abuse problem

What site do you play poker on Ross? .. I'd love to win your money. :)

[Joseph]

yay for timely restoration of services


--- Lich v3.95 caught the connection and is active. Type ;help for usage info.

Sorry but we are still having internet issues so GemStone IV is still unavailable. Please try back around 9 AM CDT.

[theblueorange]

Sleeping. Yay for being on the west coast.

So much for that, huh? Thought I'd wake up and the issue would have passed. :(

[Stunseed]

I went to sleep and got about four hours. Then I got up at 6am EST and got kids dressed fed and shipped to school. Did the ESPN thing for a bit, then got the motivation to pull my old Jeep out for a potential buyer. Holy crap did the kids/WTB stack shit all over it. Roughly two hours later, it's out on my driveway and now I want to hotwire it to see if it'll start.

Too bad in Florida it rains at 12:37 PM no matter where the fuck you are. And I had to put towels over the windows, damnit.

[Whirlin]

Site back up, game still down

[Mana Goddess]

BACK UP WOOOOOO

[theblueorange]

BACK UP WOOOOOO

thanks!

heh. true story. or it'll be pouring across the street while no rain at ur house.

[Anebriated]

good times...

[zhelas]

Ah the lag is just wonderful! One wave after another..... Seems three huge lag storms brought everything down again. Love that ISP of theirs.

[top shottah]

heh. they kicked us out for 5 hours to come back for this shit. oy vey..

[zhelas]

Okay who gave Droit the cone shaped helmet and cape with the big D on it to test the Droit Ballista and GS Physics?

[Divinity]

So, basically the game is up and fucktarded? Are you that surprised?

Servers resetting will do that. Although, I've been told it's the best time to hunt. Not sure if it's true, so.. Meh.

[SolitareConfinement]

heh this made me giggle while i was sitting there when people on psinet started bitching about the lag wave hitting


> * Violenttmoon just bit the dust!

The surf was good.. catching the wave!

That makes me giggle every time I see it.

[Divinity]

It seems to happen a lot since Vio came back. Heh.

[iJin]

!!I can't get in. :(


Dreams crushed. Heh.

[top shottah]

@#$#@%#!!!!!

fuck it. spliff break.

[WRoss]

WTF? So after my original plans, I got my oil changed, went to a meeting, vacuumed the car, watched some golf, and GS still isn't up. WTF? Guess its back to Hulu.

[HSB]

It was up for a short while, then Droit ran his own personal version of .breakgs and we're all on Hulu (or Keezmovies) now.

[droit]

Hey now, I haven't even logged in all morning so it couldn't have been me...

...unless even the thought of a Droit-based ballistic projectile being introduced to the collective unconscious was enough to create a winhole.

[Loyrl]

One crash got me diseased at 29 /1 per in the rift, second crash while looking for a door or mirror got me stunned and rifted to plane three. I think I used all my favor doing symbol of resto. Least I lived I guess... /sigh

Guess its a good time to play some heroes of newerth...

What happens in this situation in plat? Are the GMs more understanding?

Did this happen because you were hunting when they shut down at 3am, or you went hunting after the servers came back up after 9am?

If the former, you're boned because they made an announcement. If the latter, I think you should be completely justified in demanding your gear, experience, deed, etc. restored to you.

[graysun]

Were your things registered?

I can't imagine that would be allowed to stand, and it shouldn't count as your "one-time replacement" either.

[The Ponzzz]

What happens in this situation in plat? Are the GMs more understanding?

Depends. If it is due to a crash, as long as stuff is registered, you're good. If it has nothing to do with a crash, that's just a by-product of Platinum. GS hard mode.

[WRoss]

What? I didn't hear you the first two times?

[Hips]

omg, James. I can't replace any of your stuff armor/weapon wise, but I have ten mins of alter time coming to me if you want clothes or something. :(

[The Ponzzz]

That directed at me? The forums double posted, wasn't me. I just noticed and deleted the second one.

I died in the latest crash.

In the queue now.

[Stunseed]

I have other outfits. It's the twin morning stars, the max lightened MBP and all the enhansives ( yes, in f'in Plat too ) that I shouldn't have lost that I may or may not be losing.

[WRoss]

In RL we call it being shammed. In GS, they call it a feature.

[Stunseed]

All is well. Thank you for your concern.

[Lumi]

Sweet :)
