Just got back from Okinawa, Japan in January. Spent the week of Christmas and New Years there because the wife had to take care of family business. Was a blast, hadn't been there since we left 1988 and the changes were unbelievable. I had forgotten how long that 14 hour flight was via ANA! Have a safe trip, Tac! -Sho

For all you Stargate fanatics, read the info on the new series HERE. -Sho

quote: I'm not sure what's happened to Sho,I'm still here. Just had a system snafu, but all seems to be in working order now. As of this moment, I only have one submission, and that was from Ben. -Sho

Now that was pretty good, Chav! -Sho

My time is going to be a little tight on Sundays for a while, unfortunately. However, I'd be happy to put in for a Scorekeeper position for the season. -Sho

Just add a space between Antilles and (Rovarix) and it'll be perfect! -Sho

Check your PMs! -Sho

quote: What steps must I take to join the Insurgent fleet?You've already done them, i.e., registering in the Fleet Database and over on the ICC forum. So as not to take this topic off topic, I'll PM you the other items you need to address. -Sho

LOL! Ah, give him a break, Wolferz! At least he came back and told us he fixed his problem instead of not letting anyone know and running up everyone's blood pressure trying to figure it out for him! -Sho

quote: Ah, but which Insurgent fleet to join?Due to the current numbers in the Insurgent Fleet, it has been "realigned" to ONE fleet, comprised of four wings several months ago. -Sho

Welcome back, Serondal. If you want to live the dangerous life, think Insurgent! -Sho

Sorry to hear that, $ilk. I hope everything will work out ok. -Sho

quote: Yes, ShoHashi.. I did read the entire raider/indie forum. Thank you. Still it seems that the Raider fleet was disbanded over a few arguments and disagreements and was never really part of the whole BC fleet experience.There was a bit more to it than that behind the scenes. Not going to rehash on an old subject. quote: Just my opinion, but do you think Prime, Wraith, or Bishamon would have been disbanded in the same manner?No, because it was under a different circumstance. quote: There really would be a great value having a raider fleet if you are trying to have GalCom/Insurgent/Raider MP scenarios.And as I stated before, there is nothing stopping anyone from playing a Raider in any type of MP game to include Fleet Action. quote: Was it ever an official 3000AD Fleet or no?Yes, until it was disbanded by the SC. Now, I think we've driven this a bit off topic way too much, so we need to get this thread back on topic. -Sho

I was just watching the first two full episodes at ABC.com. Seems like a pretty neat show. Thoughts, anyone? -Sho

If you go to this thread and read the third message from the end, you'll see that the SC disbanded the fleet and removed it from the Fleet Database. This is the SC's game, forum and database and if he so chooses to disband a fleet, that's HIS call in the end. This doesn't mean that you still can't be a Raider, however, in Fleet Action. As a Raider you can still post in the Raider and Indies forum as well. However, in Fleet Action, Raiders have a separate way they operate that is more in line with the 3000AD universe. -Sho

quote: I'm curious why there isn't any sort of Raider fleet or why anyone hasn't formed one yet.There was a Raider Fleet at one time. Do a search on the forum for more information. -Sho

No idea. Please make sure you add your System Profile to your Sig. -Sho

Try to update now, Serondal. -Sho

quote: For some reason I'm not able to use the polling feature.That's probably because the poll ended at 11:59PM, March 1. I had hoped that the poll being open for a month would be plenty of time for long-time Community members and new people to take part in it. Unfortunately, you've been the exception. -Sho

quote: Sho, thank you for polling the 3000AD community.Not a problem, Quazar, however the poll wasn't entirely my idea....it was Ben's. The poll also provides a good cross-section of what the community is interested in. -Sho

To help tailor Fleet Action so it is more accessible to the Community, a poll has been put together asking a variety of questions. Please answer to the best of your ability. This information is important to us. This poll is for ALL those interested in organized multiplayer action, not just for those already in fleets. The inclusion of individuals not part of the official fleets will hopefully allow more participants into multiplayer events. Those individuals will only be able to participate in Fleet Action as independent Raiders. This, in turn, will hopefully persuade some into joining an official fleet unless, of course, they prefer being a Raider. To keep everything concise, those planning to take part should post in THIS thread and state their availability times in GMT, checking with Greenwich Mean Time to verify their timezone. This poll will remain open until March 2, 2007. -Sho [ 02-03-2007, 08:34 AM: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]

I'm glad to see that you are feeling much better, Ben! -Sho

quote: so is the game really that good? are you using a joystick?I haven't played it much because of the lack of sound (at least until I put in the new card this weekend) but it doesn't seem too bad. I'm using my Microsoft Sidewinder joystick. -Sho

No, you misunderstand, Cruis.In. I am currently using the onboard sound from my ASUS motherboard which is a Nvidia Soundstorm. I was merely commenting to Wolferz that I have an old SoundBlaster Live! card in a box around here that I may dig out and install into my computer. -Sho [ 01-17-2007, 05:48 PM: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]
