Sh-t. I broke 4/5 of my LCD computer screen.

/ Smashed. White, black and pink. No good. I can't run dom3 on any other computer at the moment, so the 10 or 11 games I'm in need subs

I'm really sorry. Hopefully it'll be temporary (anyone know if it's possible to replace monitors on laptops?)

Okay, I go to post on the next game =(

Most laptops have a monitor jack in the rear or in a docking station. If you can locate a regular monitor then you should be able to see what your doing by simply plugging it in.

I'll extend the turn by 24 hours to give you time to find a sub or fix the situation.

It is both possible to replace the monitor, and possible to fix them. I do this for a living - but you're kind of far away.

Check out .. www.lcdparts.net

But, what the previous poster said (code for I can't remember his name) is true - if you attach a regular monitor it should work. Again, I could sell you one for 10-15$ but the shipping costs would eat you alive.

Best

Ok, so I've figured out a way to limp by until I get a replacement monitor working, and I can continue playing. Sorry about the fuss

I will check out lcdparts.net! Thanks a lot!

Updated the hosting interval to 36 hours as the early game has come to an end. This also should give Fakey the time he needed to submit his next turn.

Back and turning in turns again, thanks for stretching the time out for me.

nozshand and anticipatient look like their going to stale soon. Anybody think I should do something about it?

This would be nozshand's second stale in a row.

Personally think it's always a good friendly jesture to delay a game at least 12hrs to avoid stales. Providing someone spots them in time of course (and even more convenient if the admin spots them

)

Haven't noticed anticipatient around for a few days now. Maybe his broken laptop screen has given up completely and he can't get on the forums anymore until his replacement monitor arrives. No idea about Nozshand.

Eh, I've found that if they're gone for 3 turns they're not coming back. I'd suggest switching Nozshand to AI if he fails post an explanation or to turn in the next one in order to keep the game moving.

Calahan · #**190** September 10th, 2008, 08:17 AM

Did anyone stale after AoE?

If Nozshand did then my shout is that it's probably best to set him to AI, since his position isn't looking too hot so he may well have just bailed. If Anticipatient staled then I'd be inclined to PM him and give him a delay. Since he is/was a regular in many games until his recent computer 'accident', so most likely scenario is that he is still around, but just having trouble getting on-line.

Though all of this is just my random ramblings and opinion of course
