Thanks. I blame trying to set up Remote Desktop... Should be able to get the missuses laptop to run stuff with some mild nudging over the weekend.

This should be an interesting story, bridging the gap between configuring remote desktop and murdering a hard drive.

Your honor, I believe there is more to the story than the defendant has testified to thus far. The prosecution will, therefore, strive to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this muffin, a self described Really Evil muffin, did (whether knowingly or maliciously is at present remaining to be determined) fatally harm, or alternatively did cause to be fatally harmed, his disk drive in the process of configuring remote desktop. We recommend that he be jailed with no bond, as we believe he represents too great a threat to other hard drives to remain at large during the forthcoming trial. The current charge of negligent homicide by means of spilled beverage will stand, unless our ongoing investigation is able to prove malice as information on the cause of death becomes available. The disk in question is currently with the tech guy/coroner and we await results of the autopsy. If we find evidence of blunt force trauma caused by an airborne disk/earth impact (more commonly known as a thrown laptop incident) we will of course upgrade the charges from negligent homicide to premeditated disk murder. Thank you, your honor.

Aaaaaand scene! Good job guys.

I'm not saying you're this bad REM but Xenu's post reminded me of this

omg that's some medical experiment grade ! Best post:

This thread just made me very sad... That thing didn't need to die...
I mean, I know I'm supposed to have sympathy, but... Seriously?
Who the hell drills a hole in their card before reading the instructions?

Pure disaster porn, man it's delicious.

Haha I suppose it doesn't make that much sense without a little background. Nice story though :P Just tried to set it up, went quite well I thought. Left PC on whilst at work to try. No luck - get back to find it about 100 degrees as I had left it covered and the fan is a little dodgey anyway... Kept saying disc read error and failing to boot. Eventually got the system utility repair up which managed to do something to it after a few hours and now I have my laptop back! :D

Thanks for pauses all over the shop.

Mea culpa time - it's just been pointed out to me that map trades are banned. Unfortunately I offered one about ten turns ago which was accepted . I don't think going back and replaying ten turns is going to happen, so I'm not sure what to suggest.

I guess I could bash a hole in my monitor and make sure the territory visibility I gained is always behind the hole, but that might be a little extreme. Any other ideas? Sorry everybody...

We need a 3rd party to look into this. Off the top of my head I want to say gift your map to everyone when you first meet them, but hell, I'm biased since I'm playing.
