You could try one of the account manager bits of software such as Freelancer Account Manager (FAM). Install this and it should (though I have not tried this) find your MPID and load it in to its DB. From there you can either manually extract the MPID or export it as a file to use with FAM, if you install it on your laptop.

kk, 24 hours ago I open my mouth about being willing to run an event and now I am posting the results of the first event I ran, with help from the all knowing Mr Huor.

Top Gun Event, 20 Jan 09

The following players did the following stuff:

Jack Bauer (SMG): Top Gun Winner, winner of the 1st round, managed 4 kills

Oraxis (DC): Runner-up, winner of the 2nd round, managed 3 kills

Belangolis (IOC): 3 kills, runner-up in 1st round
Maxbur (DC): absent for 1st round, 2 kills, runner-up in 2nd round
Phoenix (DC): 2 kills
Lucy (TRF): 2 kills though 1 was herself!
kl1n1: 1 kill
duarf
The_Scribbler
Bethany: notably the first brothel to compete for Top Gun

Thanx to all who competed.

Top Gun Event will be run by me most Tuesday starting 9pm server time. Hope to see more of you there next week.

Oh yeah, Jack "I don't whine" was whining about wanting his medal, so how do I sort that out for him? (Apparently, it is not his fault!)

As I remember DrStraw was something to do with running the Race Event.

Do we need a EventManager for each event? Couldn't we just have a pool of EMs and whoever is available (and knows the rules) can run the event that day?

I am more than willing to help run events but I could not be sure to have a specific night free each week. I am pretty sure I could run most events.

Yay for CF

Congratz OP

Welcome and Good Luck

I do not disagree with you Lucy but I must point out the other side of the argument that this is a really useful tool. I see players online who I want to talk too and join the game. I see large numbers of players all in a single system and join the game to see what I am missing. I also see intruders in Tohoku....

How forced it the RP going to be if GR are doing the forcing? GR are (likely) to be the clan leaders, so it will just be following orders from your clan leader. Are all the other clans so anarchic that this goes against their RP?

Please note that the entirety of the initial post is within quotes (" ") and signed from Ozy. They are his words and not mine.

I am not moving to Bulgaria (though a visit would be nice). I do not have problems with my PCs (other than the fact that they are PCs and will spontaneously start doing weird shit now I have said that there is no problem with them). Also I do not have an Xbox or a brother!

And yes, I do love my train

"Greetings all,

Been a while since my last contact!

First of all, Happy Xmas and New Year...yes late I know and for that I am sorry. Portal has helped me keep up to date and I hope has passed on the news that my PC is dead (bah only have X Box atm). So anyway, I have been meaning to be in touch with you all and let you know how I have been and inquire how you are too Smile

In short, I am moving for certain to Bulgaria, I still might end up spending time in Dubai too but either way I will not bother fixing my PC till I am settled again.

My brother an I shall be renervating some houses (those that know my health realise that I shall be drinking cold beer watching my bro work) and generally keeping busy.

Anyway, I plan when I have time to give a full update and speak with you all soon.

My email will change back to the old one philius.fogg@hotmail.co.uk

I hope someone can copy the above into swat for peops to see......grrrrrr you know my opinion of swat Tongue

Kind regards Ozy"

I have noticed an increase in insability with older PCs and XP. Microsoft are now pushing Vista and so the development on XP updates/patches must be taking a back seat. So I suspect that recent patches may be to blame.

If you happen to do another reinstall of XP, try just updating XP as far as SP2. Then see if this makes any difference.

Obviously you will need to be careful as this will leave known security issues unaddresses.

Happy New Year m8s

Happy Chrimbo, One and All

(Well said OP)

Count me in.

Bad Jokes

The world's foremost authority on wasps is walking down the street when he sees a record in the window of a charity shop 'Wasp noises from around the world'. Intrigued, he goes into the shop and asks if he can listen to it.
"Certainly," says the shop assistant and pops it onto his turntable. After listening to the first track for a while, the world's foremost authority on wasps is a bit confused.
"I don't recognise any of these noises, and I'm the world's foremost authority on wasps! Can you play the next track please?"
The assistant obliges and skips the needle onto the next track. After a while, the world's foremost authority on wasps is still confused.
"No, I still don't recognise any of these wasps. Can you try the next track?"
The assistant skips the needle on, and the world's foremost authority on wasps listens for a little while longer before shaking his head.
"It's no good. I just don't recognise any of these wasps"
The assistant peers at the label of the record and says "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I had it on the bee side"

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.
First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade.
Realising his employer wont be best pleased he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp House, he is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade killing them both.
What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.
He moves on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp.
By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lions cage because lions eat anything.
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another lion and says "What's the food like here?"
The lion says: "Excellent! Today we had Fish and Chimps with Mushy Bees."

A man goes to the zoo.
When he gets there, there was only a dog.
It was a shitzu.

Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely.
So, God asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.
He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you. She will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it."
Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"

The Pope was having a shower. Although he is very strict about the celibacy rules, he occasionally felt the need to exercise the right wrist, and this was one of these occasions.
Just as he reached the Papal climax he saw a photographer taking a picture of the holy seed flying through the air.
"Hold on a minute" said the Pope. "You can't do that. You'll destroy the reputation of the Catholic Church.".
"This picture is my lottery win" said the photographer. "I'll be financially secure for life."
So, the Pope offered to buy the camera off the photographer, and after lots of negotiation, they eventually arrived at a figure of two million quid.
The Pope then dried himself off, and headed off with his new camera. He met his housekeeper, who spotted the camera.
"That looks like a really good camera," she said, "how much did it cost you?"
"Two million quid" replied the Pope.
"TWO MILLION QUID!" said the housekeeper, "They must have seen you coming."

A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note: Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a Pirate. The man thinks this is terrible because they emphasized his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint. A week passes and he received another parcel. Dear Sir, Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part. The man is extremely furious now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really rude letter of complaint. A few days later he gets a very small parcel from the company with an accompanying letter: Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup. Pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your arse and go as a toffee apple.

A wealthy man decided it would be fun to have himself cloned. The clone turned out to be an exact duplicate of the man, except that it spoke nothing but extremely profane language.
After several months of listening to this, the man got fed up, took the clone up into the mountains and went to the edge of a steep cliff. Looking around and not seeing anybody, he pushed the clone over the cliff.
Just then, a police officer stepped out from behind some bushes and said "I'm going to have to arrest you."
"What for?" the man asked.
"For making an obscene clone fall" replied the officer.

In the days of primitive tribes and grass huts, there was one tribe which was very warlike. They won many battles, and took control of many other tribes.
One of their customs when they beat another tribe was to take the most prized possession of the enemy's chief.
One time, after a particularly fierce battle they defeated a rich tribe, whose king had a prized solid gold throne.
Our warlike tribe took the throne, and put it in the loft in their chiefs house. Unfortunately, the throne was much too heavy to be kept in a loft in a grass house, and it fell right through the ceiling, onto the chief, killing him instantly.
The Moral of this story is...... People who live in Grass Houses shouldn't stow thrones!

I doubt that we will be given any advanced notice of the release of 1.8 or at least I hope we don't. The last time we approached a release date practically everyone stop playing 1.7 in anticipation of the new version.

looking for my

to play with.

I am not defending my map or taking offense at the your comments. I have just taken the info given to me as correct and turned it in to a map. If this info is wrong then I will happily change the map.

CA has always been the final voice on all matters related to this event, so I have got my information from him and have taken what he has said as correct.

I will send you a PM with further details.

Anc.

To those who are questioning the correctness of the map of ASF/CSF territories in this thread HERE

Firstly, let me say that I produced this map to remove the debate over who owns which systems. The information from the RSS and that supplied at the start of the event do contradict each other and this was my attempt to make the information uniform and correct.

Please note that just below the title it says "All information approved by CA". Before posting this map I was very careful to make sure that it was correct according to CA, as it is he who has the final word on this event.

If you have any problems with this information, please take it up with CA as I have done all I can to insure accuracy.

One quick question: I intend to up date the map after each event to keep it current and relevant. Would you prefer that I amend the map (so that there is only one map shown) or add the new map (so that it shows the progress of the conflict in a series of maps showing the territorial changes)?
