View Full Version : Ghost Town
So how dead is this forum going to be in two days, when everybody's off playing Empire? Or will the work posters (me included) keep the posts coming?
Will there still be Orgahs online, or will it be a ghost town (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2oXzrnti4)?

I'll still be online, albeit less frequently. You couldn't seperate me from the Org even if you had a crowbar and a big tub of grease. :2thumbsup:.
I'm definitely in the work poster category... until tomorrow at noon. Maybe come back in for a little bit more work on Thursday and Friday mornings. From home I'll cruise through the forums every couple of hours while my troops get a much needed reprieve from conquering the world. Never know what insights might pop up that would help my campaign!
Otherwise, it's on. I foresee at least a 24 hour gameplay session starting Friday afternoon and lasting well into Sunday morning. Occasional break to use the bathroom, fix alcoholic beverages, roll blunts, and take my dog outside to play. Some friends are trying to get me to go see Watchmen on Saturday night, but I'm not so sure about that...

I'll be here, there's nothing like capping off a day with a leisurely visit to the Parliament *plays classical music*

good thinking...
Ah, the ultimate geek dilemma—Watchmen premiere or three extra hours of a new strategy game? I wish you luck with that.

Some one will be here…
You know there is always some one who finds something to talk about and my not get the game for several days…
Then like always there is some one with a killer bug issue….

Don't worry, Lemur. I'll be here for you. And then we can be together forever and ever. ~:flirt:

Charming thought... I cant say I'm worried the forums will still be filled with those who havent got their hands on the game by wendsday.

Yeah. For my part, I'll dump Lemur on Thursday when I head downtown to hang out and buy me a little piece of paradise from EB Games. :laugh4:
dont worry the forums will be full of the wailing of people with issues with the game, complaining bout how bad it is, and what they should of done, and perhaps most prevalent people having issues with steam
let the steam rage posts commence!

Nobody here but us provincials. No idea yet if my Amazon purchase will ship tomorrow or not. However, delayed gratification is better than no gratification.:turtle: Gives me time to complete the honey-do list so it doesn't interfere with play time.

Convicts are here too. For longer as well.
Looks like a bit of fun, but I can wait a day.

I do not know if anyone will believe this, but I am waiting untill the summer to get my ETW. I have the patience :yes:
Patience is indeed a virtue.
I checked in at Best Buy and EB today and there was no sign of Empire in either store. EB said E:TW will be available tomorrow, March 4.
Seeing is believing.

I'll still be here, we prefer to let the stuff chill before we hit it here in The Land of The Long White Cloud.
At least until Friday 6th.

Well I am sure more than half the crowd has the game by now. There are a few of us still waiting but people are dropping off little by little.
Coming in just now I saw 107 viewing Parliament!
At the bottom of the Guild it said something like 298 viewing…70 members & 228 guests…
I guess some need to quit lurking and just join in!
The game is probably downloaded and installed by now, but I won't be playing. Wife had to take care of some unexpected business, so I'm stuck being daddy all day. These horrible, evil children have no idea what they're denying me. I even took the day off! Oh, the irony.
I'll disappear later tonight, when they're asleep, and get my licks in.

Hah, the mailman drove up the driveway to deliver the mail to the front door. He only does that when there are packages too large to fit in the mailbox. Two packages have the Amazon label on them, my heart skips a beat...can it be....delivered early....:jumping:
Both are for the wife; a cook book and some craft supplies.:shame: That was cold.:laugh4:
Oh, oh, I really do feel your pain. Ow ow ow!
Then again, I also laughed out loud when I read your tragedy ...

I will be on more now that the game is out, becuase I can't make it through a long workday without getting some type of 'empire fix'. Plus reading the forum gets me amped usually to play when I get home.

I have the game now and I'm still posting :2thumbsup:. I won't leave you guys :laugh4:.

I'm still downloading. At this rate, it'll be a day before I can start playing...
I have the game downloaded, patched and working. Now all I need is for these children to collapse and move on to slumberland ...
-edit-
They are asleep. The wife is watching her reality junk TV. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow, but for now ... EMPIRE!
-edit part deux-
Spoke too soon. Empire crashed, and after I rebooted (just a precaution) it decided it needed an update. With luck I'll be playing tonight ...

Ouch, Hosa. That had to hurt. ~:doh:
I'm still waiting to see if I'm getting a copy in the mail, or if I should just head to the local game store and pick it up. As I don't have off til Sunday anyway, though, I'm not sweating it too much. I can wait til then....probably. :sweatdrop:

Well, it is not a ghost town…most unfortunately.
The number of new threads since midnight my time and 7 AM was staggering…unviewed threads on the second page…:embarassed:
It looks like there was a frat party last night and no one cleaned up the mess!
Of course if my game comes today…its going to get worse….:laugh4:

You picked a bad time to join the Mod team :tongue:. I'm glad I had time to practice supressing, subduing, beating, brutally repressing.... moderating the forums here before the big post-release rush. :2thumbsup:

I still haven't received it - not only haven't they shipped my preorder yet, but it is listed as Out of Stock. Angry phone calls commencing immediately.
