Sorry guys. I recently had a family tragedy and I have had no want to play or really do anything at all. I'm afraid I'm going to have to retire. Sorry.
I'm sorry to hear about the tragedy, Ebarws ... my heart goes out to you, buddy. We understand completely.Quote:

I was the last player. Since ebarws retired, we are ready to advance.
Good deal. We'll advance tonight (Wednesday).Quote:

Seriously I am working all weekend and Sunday is my wife's b-day so if we could try to squeeze it in Thursday or Friday that would be great.
I can play anytime tonight, or on Thursday. Text me at 713-501-9259.
Ready for Week 3 (Bye week for RU). I will get a story put up tomorrow.
BTW, welcome to TGT nwamortie!
What's our status on the user vs user game? Are we going to advance tonight or wait? And what's up with the restarts against Florida, Pig? Lol.
I'll check tonight on the user vs. user game and get back to you ... And me? LOL! I was getting my butt kicked at Florida as expected was down 42-7 with about 5 mins to go in the game, my daughter was done with the computer, turns off the power strip to the computer and because it's on the same power strip as the modem connected to my PS3 the game disconnects and I get a DNS server error and I can't reconnect after I restart the modem. I turn off the PS3 ... I restart both the box and the modem, attempt to just sim it and the game won't let me ... it says it doesn't have the proper amount of minutes ... I gave up last night at 11. I'll just sim the game when we advance. :PQuote:

Yeah, Escobar and mortie are still trying to work out a time to play ... schedules just haven't meshed. They said they'd play it tonight or tomorrow.Quote:

Any way, my recruiting is done. RU is ready to advance.
PS Pig I saw your comment about losing your story to a glitch. If I can offer any advice on using Story Builder, it would be to type your stories outside of Story Builder and Copy and Paste them into it. That way, if it fails to upload, you don't lose your story. Also, I find IE 7 to be the most reliable for uploading. :)
I will admit that after awhile I really quit trying. Of those 8 turnovers he managed to return 4 or 5 for TD's. He went up 21-0 and the next play I had on offense threw to an outside receiver. He managed to pick off the pass with a LB and score a TD. so after the kickoff my next play on offense, I throw to an outside receiver and he managed to make another more athletic INT with another LB and return it for a TD. I think all of this was still in the first quarter. His LB's had better hands than my WR's.Quote:

Secondly, mortie, that's not short for mortician is it? I ask because when I hear "morty", that's what I immediately think. Because it's what I did for 16 years. Then when you say you got "called out", I think "maybe it's what he does", lol. Sorry, had to ask. Curiousity...
Cool! Onward and upward! Tim ... I'll take SF's advice and sign up for the alerts ... if you still want my phone no. I'll send it to ya on facebook.Quote:

OK, finished up my game. We just need the 2 bye week guys to recruit and we'll be ready to advance again.
I just did my recruiting.
You figured out my secret code steelerfan. I am in fact a mortician. You say that you did it for 16 years. Does that mean you "wised" up and got out of it? I'm still a newbie. I have only been doing it for 6 years now.Quote:

Yep, I got out of the business a couple years ago. I still maintain my licences though, just in case. My daughter's dog is named Mortimer Tuamutef (the dog-headed canopic jar if you recall that from school). We, of course, call him "Morty" so that's what had me thinking that way, lol.Quote:

Are you sure he's human???Quote:

Actually I am pretty sure that he is not human. I believe he is the T-100 sent back from the future to destroy this dynasty.Quote:

I can play if we start anywhere from 10:30AM Central to 12PM Central. If not I can play after I get back from work around 9pm central.
Text me at 713-501-9259
So, is it safe to assume that we won't be advancing till after the holiday? I ask because I want an idea of how much time I have to write a story, my game is done.
yea, it won't be until he gets back. My friend wasn't home, and I couldn't drive back home to play before he left.
No worries, I got my story done and still have one to write for the TGT OD.
