Well Commander SpacePhish, if you insist, I would be interested in hearing from both yourself and Chris Blair just what it means to you to be called Insurgent. You are both already Insurgents, I'd just like to hear in your own words just why you crossed the line and what you hope to achieve by this crossing. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Wait a minute! You saw him turn? What was he before he turned (cast please), and what did he turn to (again cast please)? This I gotta hear about. Did we just have a report of the first AI defection from Galcommie to Insurgent? Now that would be a riot! Hurry back and report in Commander Hugo! If I haven't heard from you come Saturday Morning, I'm sending out a hit squad for you personally! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

What the *)&OY+##@? Looks like I need to rein in some Insurgents here. This is not the forum for fighting talk Gentlemen. Take it outside, down the corner a bit, and stop in the RP for a little blood letting if you please! But to be honest though, The SC's right! He's gonna need all the help he can get. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

You guys are lucky that we are now running the Final version of BC3K! I guarantee that if there were going to be another patch, this trick/loop hole would be removed with extreme prejudice! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Hey Thomas, I just noticed that he said "Kicked back to DOS?" Is/Could his problem be that he's running it from pure DOS instead of using a shortcut within Windows? I think I had the same problem WAAAaaaaaaaaaYYYY Back there when I was new also? I know that current instructions and such, unless you go in and modify the shortcut, will kick you back to Desktop if it fails, rather than DOS. Just a thought. I'll go back to hunting Galcommies now! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

From what you just described Ben, Your installed video drivers were not up to date enough to work within the game. With the V1 addition to the command line, you directed Vesa Drivers, and yes that sounds right. Have fun, Commander! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Now this sounds like a darned fine Idea SC! Gotta shake the old scripting cobwebs out of my brain and get back into it. Thanks Boss! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Cruis.In, Akira would be one "Ron Wallin!" Does that name ring a bell with you? ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Thanks Michael! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Sorry I've been absent Insurgents! Seems someone placed an explosive device in the HD on Me system. I think I've restored it all, but one never knows for sure! What I want to know is "How did a Galcommie get this deep into Rattler's Den?" ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

I see Y2K looming largely on the horizon. Time's running out Insurgents! Cmdr Andergum's been screening the Commander's Roster for ALL Registered Insurgents, verifying who should have posted here. If you want to remain an inactive Commander when BCM is released, ignore my warnings. If you want to play on "Official" Servers and have your status updated as well, You had better make your presence known here. 'Nuff Said! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

"Way to go Thomas!" SC, You couldn't have made a better choice, IMHO! Prime Fleet, I think the order of the day will be "Shape Up, or Ship Out!" If I know Thomas, he'll be on you like.....uhhh......Ugly on a train wreck...if you start gold bricking on him. 'Nuff Said! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

No problem Cmdr Echo, I know you've been REAL busy as of late. Glad you made it! To that end, I am extending the reporting in period to 0001, 01/01/00. Now let's see who's computers are really Y2K ready! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Welcome back Michael! good to see that you now have found a com station! Are you going to report in on a regular basis, or will it be "catch as catch can?" Also, have you reactivated your ICQ or is there another method of clandestined communications? ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

quote: Bunnies? Heheh. I wish we had some bunnies too here at Wraith. That CAN be arranged when BCM goes online! By the way, any of you Galcommies out there ever try to catch a wild hare with your bare hands? If not, give it a go sometime! I guarantee it's an enlightening experience. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Just checked it here, both FF and ACM. Works as advertised! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Ah, Our Feudal WarLord does indeed appear! Standby to receive your Task Force Members, soon as they decide to show up. I've already taken the liberty to send you a couple. More to follow. Nice to have you back Mia Amigo~ ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Gentlemen and Ladies, I know of only one way to put this. "Time's NOT on your side now!" Here's how it's going to go: All those already reported here will definitely be assigned. I will then go through the Commander's Roster and hand pick those that I deem worthy of fighting as Insurgents and will have draft notices sent to you by your respective Task Force Commanders. If you haven't changed your email servers, those chosen will definitely know it. You still have a few days left to answer the call. Muster In Insurgents! Don't be left out in the cold on this one. Somewhere in a thread, I read where the SC has said that only authorized fleets may play in BC servers, and he's keeping a list. I plan on providing him with the authorized Insurgent list. Take my advice! Be On This One! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Hey, William! Where's that thread that DeSylva left us for timelines? I can't seem to find it! Thanks, ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

So, we're back to our old tricks are we William? I've been nice Lately, wan'na play rough? ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Hey! Back Off a little, will 'Ya? Heavy Duty Recruiting. Not just yet anyway! I'm only trying to regroup so we can come and kick some Galcommie Posterior when the tools are available and time is right! 'Till then, You and I can "Rattle" sabers all we like, just won't be able to cross them! Now get back under that desk! BTW, Outstanding Effort on Orion Site Man! Keep up the good work! ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Hey! Now Hear This! Now Hear This! We need more Insurgents signing on here. I know we can kick booty on Galcommies even if we are short handed, however, why would we want to try that approach when it's not necessary! Muster on station, Insurgents! BTW, has anyone been in contact with Akira (Ron Wallin) ? We definitely need to hear from him. We don't fight without our Feudal WarLord! Beat the bushes for him Insurgents! "Find Akira and The Nevermore!" ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

We're moving along nicely Insurgents! Now Insurgent One knows that there are a lot more of you Registered Insurgents out there! Hurry Home Insurgents, Breakfast is served promptly at '7. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Go to your shortcut and manually enter in 32768 for DPMI Memory. 32k of Ram is pushing the lower envelope in later patches. Let me know how it worked. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"

Ok, time for a little update and look into what I am currently planning For BCM Feastivities. My current choices for Task Force Commanders are as follows (each having thier own TF's if sufficient responses are received): Akira, Andergum, Chavik, Jester, and LordDavid. These choices were made simply because They are Base Commanders, with the exception of Andergum, who is Spectre Security Officer. If we continue to get personnel to answer "Roll Call", I will assign more and more to TFC Positions. There WILL be a limit to the number of Ships in a Task Force, so there Will need to be more TF's. I am currently NOT planning to lead a TF myself, as I would like the Honor and Opportunity to fly with each and every one of You Fine Insurgent Commanders. Additionally, I wouldn't want to overburden just the few with guarding both your own ship AND the Necromancer for extended periods of time. Now keep answering the "Roll Call" Insurgents. It's darned important right now! Additionally, if there are ANY more of you Commanders out there who wish to defect to the Side of Righteousness, You may follow Ramspite's example and do it here. ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 "Old Age and Treachery will ALWAYS win out over Youth and Exuberance!"
