I live in London, I should find out where the servers are located. Perhaps if I turn up with a toolkit and an iPad they'll let me help get the thing going again.

You might start somewhere around Bletchley Park. No, that wouldn't right, that place actually did something...

Its been done so that the CCP Tournament Team can get their ships in place to start the roam rather than being ganked going into low sec Lol



LOL

Will the roam be starting at the same time? I still need to get a ship ready.

Skill que emptied 5 minutes ago.... stayed up waiting for maintenance... oh well...


Tip for future: Always have 1 long skill in at the ass end of your Queue... this happens often enough that having skills queued up for at least 36hrs is generally just a good idea.

So, I would ask, were I not aware that it was a question with no answer better than something like "It's the Universe's sense of humor,":

Quote:
Why is it only and always on the days that I manage to screw up and let my skill queue expire prior to DT that something like this extends it.


But I might as well as ask "Why is it that it's only and always at the exact same time while circling a button that I finally fall asle.. uhhh, lose focus... and forget to dscan for 30 seconds that someone decides to come gank me in my plex?" (Of course, scanning just in time to hear "braaaap" and see the scram hit and my shields start evaporating faster than would dry ice placed in a ball of fusing helium...)

Or, "Why is it that it's only and always at the exact moment that I forget where I am and start to contemplate the ideal way to [break spider repping rats' tanks | play the SFSCM™ game* | loot all the wrecks in a deadspace complex ] while in lowsec, that the pirates that have been sitting there for two hours without attacking me suddenly decide it's time to go for it?"

Shrug. It's cause that's how the Universe teaches me lessons. Screwing me over each and every time I flarg it up. Really, it's doing me a favor. Right? Hehehe. I mean, right?! Hehehehe... Ahehehehmueahehehe heheh heh. heh.

heh.

Um, is the server up yet? No? Heheh. C'mon here I'm starting to look like the Chief Inspector in the Pink Panter movies guys... Guise?!

guise?

Ugh

oh yeah

As we're all waiting anyway, I'd like to complain about these instant noodles I just made, a brand I hadn't tried before.

Here I was expecting some chickeny goodness, and it turns out to be the most tasteless thing I've ever had the misfortune of ingesting.

Seriously, what's up with that?



what spices do you have?

throw in a small amount of stock cube (preferably chicken(grind it up)) some parsley a pinch of pepper and somthing with a bit of spice i.e a pinch of chili.




Like actually cooking and **** that kinda defeats the purpose of instant noodles now doesn't it?


lol, if putting pepper on ur food is cooking i think ille pass on coming round for dinner.


It said grind up stock cube (chicken) :P
And you're right I wouldn't come over for dinner either.. That's why I usualy eat out LOL


Raman Noodles, drained, add Ranch dressing, and some crushed red pepper.

Is there an ETA for startup, or am I stuck hitting refresh on server status?


You realize that each time anyone hits refresh it delays the server start by 5 seconds right? So stop spamming that button so the server can start!
