Ugh. I moved and neither my new house nor my new job have internet access (yet). But more than that, my computer broke during the move (poor manufacture) and I don't know how/when/if that'll get fixed. Right now, I'm using a public terminal at the library. It's not convenient, and if this situation does not improve within two weeks or so, I'll probably have to drop out. If I am causing problems before the two weeks are up, feel free to drop me if that will help. Otherwise, I'll just have to see how things go. I'm really enjoying the game, and really want to stay, but it all depends.

Sorry to hear about your computer. Hope that otherwise the move was not too traumatic.

Ditto -

Your move seems to have put you sort of nearby me now (about an hour). Don't know if it would help, but I do build and fix computers...

Good luck

Maerdwyn, does the ship have an internal email system? Could a file be sent to all cabins/terminals? Would it be possible to hide the point of origin of the email?

Yess, you can send typed and/or voice messages (of a certain length) from access points throughout the ship, including in each cabin. Hiding the origin would require hacking (T/Computers or another related skill.) the system successfully

Looks like things will be set . . . The fan on the motherboard fell off and I think if I run it on its side, so the fan has nowhere to go, it'll be okay. Internet access should come shortly (by the end of this week), so I'm really really hoping things will settle down quickly. Thanks for your offer, Ian, but unless not fixing the fan permanently to the mb is a big deal I think I'm just going to risk using it like that . . . I haven't tried it yet, but I'm getting impatient.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Glad to hear it!

Just a quick note on the computer - if you have a relatively new computer, and the fan you're talking about was cooling the CPU (This would be a small square fan, probably about 2" on a side), it would *really* be a good idea to get a new fan and fix it on there. They cost about $15-$25, but they prevent the CPU from burning out, which is a much more vital and expensive part of the computer. You'd be able to put the new fan on yourself.

High All - the boards have been wonky, but seem to be back up. If you're able, please try to post your actions


Thanks

I think the fan only needs some more "glue" (I know it's not really glue, but that's its function), and maybe if I run the computer some more it'll fix itself solidly. We'll see how it goes. Internet access still isn't happening, which is frustrating, but that's a work in progress as well.

On a game note, I would prefer if you do the rolls. As mentioned, it would be faster that way.

Maerdwyn,

I have been keeping an eye on the IC thread waiting for "saanath is up" but I have lost track of who's where and with whom. ENWorld has been on the fritz and blah blah blah. Yeah, I know, excuses excuses. Sorry.

I'll reread the last few pages asap, but if you need to move it along - just ghost Saanath. He is basically trying to help the others get the shipsboats out to the stricken merchant. He is a reasonably able shipsboat pilot and will offer to fly one if needed.
