We have a new member of the senate...Adrenochrome!!

Congrats! How about dropping by some time........

Ok, I have a slight problem, I got nailed with a virus and brought the computer in to get fixed, now when I try and ppost a game, It tells me that my server and serial number dont match so I cant post games.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Shit...doesnt sound good mate...lol Says captain obvious...

Sounds to me like your registry has been altered somehow and no longer has the correct key in it. Unless someone has a better idea, and provided you havent already trioed this perhaps a uninstall and reinstall of GC2 may do the trick. Make sure you enter the serial located in your account here on the forums. Or at least that used to be the one, you could also get the correct serial through SDC via email but im not sure how that would go now in the era of Impulse.

Hope it works out for you mate, good to see you back too.

What the hell does your computer have to do with YOUR reckless sexual exploits! Unless of course you passed it on to your computer somehow?!??!  .......

Hope you get your problem solved, last time my computer got a virus I had to reload Windows and everything else.

Hmmm i have found perhaps a spy within our ranks, not just a spy but a person of questionable intent. I have asked Kryo to look into the matter. Look at our member list and see if anything jumps out at you guys. This char is also regged at ToE.com.

who do you think it is?

i'm thinkin he suspects player sg1. but i don't know who everyone is.

Kryo has looked into this matter an assured me that everything is above board. I perhpas should not have brought it up but i was so damn sure there was something untoward going on. Oh well, alls well that ends well.

I had asked about this person on the ToE forums, but Motti also said everything looked on the up and up.  But I still suggested we ban his ass!! I mean what good is being evil, if you can't ban someone just on suspicion alone!

Better than that, banning someone because their name got picked out of a hat.  THAT will keep people on their toes lol.

did harbourne ever register at the ToE forums that you know of, neilo (or motti)? and do you have a way to check IP addresses? that's be the most logical (in my mind) way to confirm things one way or the other.

i just checked and "player sg1" submitted a few games midway through last monty. all pretty low scoring and on cakewalk. thing is, he (or she) could've joined us noting that we've got some of the strongest players in the MV. this is a tricky issue. we've made some allies and done some good (and by "good" i mean helpful, not saintly) things for the community, but we've also made a few enemies. i don't want to alienate potential new allies, but i'd also rather keep our own ranks free of "spies" as nielo put it.

now i know how the colonial fleet must feel!

I don't recall Harborne ever registering with the ToE.  As far as IP addresses go, yes, we could check them, but if someone wants in, they could just spoof the addy or use a proxy.  There are other ways of checking out potential problems, but I only look into things when a request is made or something is glaring on the radar.  In player sg1's case, it was by request and then only did a cursory check to see that things appeared legit.

A certain amount of trust is warranted and we should always be aware that there's no such thing as a private conversation on the internet.  Be it email, PMs or IM, it's all subject to interception.  That, and we're not exactly guarding state secrets there.   

Your security may be about the same as state secrets though....

H has also publically disavowed any relationship to this, so i think we should send some greetings to our new member.

Well, I still feel that we should ban SOMEBODY!! Maybe Piznit or Firebender. They haven't been around for awhile!   

That would be very evil!  Or Neilo, maybe you should ban yourself....completely arbitrary.

Sentient species taste better... 

Think of the disarray that would cause.  Every one of the rats would wonder if the ship is sinking...mmmm rats...

we should ban Dick Cheney.

~squints at AdriansCamaro's avatar~ Hrm, yeah...Cheney does post in here enough doesn't he....

ha! except i always figured Cheney would use an avatar more like this...

{zap--no more rosie clone}

got ya!

now 'scuse me, i needa go vomit.

~quickdraws his AdBlock Plus~ POW, take that vile beast!!!

phew, now I won't see that anymore.

sure, act like it's not permenently burned into your retinas

okay. i'm editing that post. i really don't want to see that again.

Bah, I knew I shoulda quoted that post & image for all!

I'm not about to go looking for another one though...

A new PB for me in the ZYW drive.

Pushed my PB a little higher...
