I think Rhode Island is sinking. You should move now. Don't be the last one to the boats.
Been bad since 5PM yesterday. Our house connection was all sorts of fail.
Either they're cutting off the state in preparation to elimnate some rougue HIMEOBS agents, or we all finally overloaded the tiny pipe they give us here with WOMP and AWESOME.
It's finally back. Apparently Verizon shit the bed so that included my connection, General Stuart's connection, my roommate's sister's connection, and the state libraries. If you're having a hard time with Cox over at the Monastery/Methhead Sanctuary, you should go outside and look at the wire. Last summer it went completely down and we had no idea why. Come to find out a storm knocked the cable out.
Rhode Island?
Shoggoths. No bull.
we're back in business!
now all you dorkophiles can get back to your MUD's, MUSH's, LAN games of dungeons and dragons, and how to do absolutely nothing in the SCA. (Present friends excepted)
I'm gonna go check out my stocks.

Excellent. We'll run those heathen "freedom of religion" nuts out of here yet! I mean, what was Massachusetts thinking sending them here anyway?

You play that? Daaaaaamn, spag. I was totally in love with that game for years but nobody wanted to play it.
No, I've looked into it and Rouge Trader as substitutes for modeling hell, but still get put off by the sheer number of supplements cranked out. GW is worse than WoTC, if such a thing is possible...
I read the novels, as my pulp scifi fix off and on.
They're not so much a gaming company as a company that sells games, I know. What sadder is how less cynical, more earnest gaming companies tend to go under.
GW is garbage. I refuse to play anything made by them, on principle.
As an update, RI really DID run out of internets. The entire 401 area code (aka the 1000sqmi state) went down on the Verizon grid. Lol. DSL, FiOS, Wireless, phones, the whole shebang. Like the entire state was wiped out of existence for 6 hours.
Bizzarro world. I have a hard time imagining a world without telecommunications.

But it would be interesting to see the results of no telecommunications.
*wonders how many people would freak out and what they would do* ( me included)
It would make for the perfect 'attack'.
I have a T-Mobile phone so it didn't effect me call-wise, but there were a lot of confused people. I wonder if it wasn't some sort of social experiment done by the Black Trucks.
Fucking Black Trucks. They corner one side of Tampa Bay...the White Shirts have the other. :tinfoilhat:

I would be so fucking happy as a person. I fucking hate being on the phone and I could quit this Internet thing anytime I wanted, I swear.
As a dispatcher, though, well, I'd be out of a job.
Ey not for nuthin but it sounds like RI really sucks.
Also is there something wrong with their water? GOD DAMN that winter storm (I think) beer you gave me. I have never tasted anything like it. I uh... it .. uh.. Oh man.
Wow.
I kept tasting it out of disbelief.
yeah, that's one of the better newport storms. I'm still not too in love anything they make, but I would class it as very good beer.
Yeah, the Newport Storm Winter Storm Ale is uh...unique. I think they changed it since last I had or, or they did a different Storm of the Season that year, because this year it wasn't right. I swore it was a chocolate porter once upon a time. However, their Oktoberfest is actually really good. They're in the process of moving their brewery, so I think it's fucking up the beers.
And! If you think Narragansett is disgusting NOW, wait til they move the brewery back to Rhode Island instead of Rochester, NY! :lulz: Actually, most of us think it will be an improvement, that is, if you can really improve on the taste of donkey piss.
I honestly, please don't take offense, couldn't stand it.
I made Mr Squid and the Brain taste it, their reactions were picture worthy. They actually looked sad. I even made little Squid taste it. He said "what is this ass flavored??"
It looked as though it had a weird dead yeast floating around in it. Little white bits of what looked like sand.
I think there was something wrong with it. Like we got the "boner bottle" or something. You know, the one they bottle as a joke and pack it up normal with the rest?
Shit. Maybe I grabbed a skunked bottle. :( That's not normal. Sorry! There's no way to check these things. Stupid sealed bottles! Did the Long Trails make it alive at least?
I had the one ale after that one, cause i kinda had to get that taste out of my mouth :lulz:
it was ok. it tasted kinda like a lager though, for an ale.
