[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Just hold it one cotton pickin minute!! I was doing a tactical bid here!! I don't want saved games, and as jordos says, NO TAKING BIDS BACK!!! So logically cpl should pay for saved games, and I should have my posts restored. Thank you. See that's the the thing about strategic bidding; you run the risk of getting caught. J'ordos making the rules; good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Commander may have 500 of my posts!I'm gonna veto that; Commander hasn't been here long enough. There will potenially be more forums available for him in the future once we get to know him better. I have a 450 bid from Mustang going once.

Cmdr. Luke Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Can I be in debt in posts? I mean I'm obviously going to rack them up, and I really want General! I mean, that's where it's at! It's where all the cool people hang out! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Yes you can be in debt. As to "racking them up" be cautious how you plan to do that. Spamming is allowed in some forums but not all. Sorry but you just haven't been here long enough to get a moderation post; we need to get to know you first. 450 going twice!

Cmdr. Luke Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Well if you want to get to know me all you have to do is ask:I'm an 17 yr. old College student at UW-Eau Claire in Wisconsin (Major in Psychology). I live with my sister (a sophmore in college) in an apartment in town. I'm a huge gamer, and I think that what you guys are doing here is awesome (the "project"). Not much more for ya to know really... Nice meeting you all! Now let's drink and be friends! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 We get to know people by the conversations we have with them over a period of time. Sorry the timing just isn't right for you now for this one; bad luck but that's how it's gonna be. There are several forums existing now that have no moderator assigned as yet. Plus I'm thinking up new ones all the time. The Xcom 1 forums were assigned before but the moderator at the time was inactive for an extended period; maybe this will happen again, who knows. Just give it some time; no promises though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Luke Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 That's alright. I'll rack up the posts, get to know all ya freaks (like me), and have fun with it. Good thing though that this Forum is here, or I don't know WHAT I'd do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 There are other Xcom forums out there. We recently became the largest and most active fan-based Xcom forum on the net. The one we surpassed is x-com.co.uk. It's a good site too. Most of us have accounts there as well and some of THEM have accounts here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Luke Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Yeah I've been there numerous times, and it's not bad (but I like it here better). Hey Stewart. here's a question for ya: Do you know where I can find pictures of X-COM 1's ranks (Commander for instance)? My names commander, so it seems obvious I have the pick of the commander symbol by my name. I will bow to you if you know where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Remember the thread about favorite soldier and I show all the portraits. Simple screen capture. Are you on a windoze box? As I recall it's "print screen" or ALT "print screen". This saves the image to the clipboard. Fireup Paint/Paintbrush and do a paste, edit to size; et voila! Oh and as for General . . . . Sold for 450 to Mustang. Stay tuned for future forum offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr. Luke Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hey, I tried the Alt-Print Screen, and it came up like this. I don't have CE. This might sound like a stupid question, but where can I get CE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
