    Question 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?

    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. .

    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*
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

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

    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.

    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. Gives me time to complete the honey-do list so it doesn't interfere with play time.

    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.

    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    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.

    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.
