Just what is going on.
Ocean_Islands | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 03:51 pm  I puke and you all freak out? Here's the RR I dashed of this a.m.: Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 04:39:38 -0800 (PST) From: Ocean Islands <ocean_islands@yahoo.com> | Block address Subject: Re: Some mroe questions. To: The Interrogator <interrogator01@hotmail.com> Add Addresses Dear RR: I'm sorry I ruined everyone's fun last night. Spam todl me that they forfeited. I"m feeling somewhat better this morning, I think it was food poisoning. On my way home from work, I stopped at an Indian carry out place, a place I had never been but had heard was good. I ordered chicken biryani, which they prepared and when I got home and ate it. I have to admit it tasted a bit iffy but I ate it anyway. Then I laid down for a few minutes to rest before the game started. I woke up at 10:20 (7:20 BT) feeling absolutely awful, but I went to the computer anyway to do the game. Sitting up made it worse and I puked. That's when I dashed off an email to my team to say I couldn't do thiis game tonight. I'm sorry again. I do'nt know whats goign on hte board today, I have to rush to work because one of the partners is showing up today for review. Ocean __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices. http://auctions.yahoo.com/ I just got home after a day which was hell on wheels. I am going to lay down. But I will be back. And I would like to know why you guys did not play this game. Look at my posts and you'll see that I was excited about playing, and also that the game should go on without whoever couldn't make it for whatever reason. I also have to catch up on the transcript which Spam sent me. |
Spamgirl | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 04:06 pm  Poor OI Sorry you were so sick... I didn't play because a) it was getting late, and I had lost any drive to play and the few brain cells that were still working weren't working well... b) I just wanted to end it and let the people who seemed to want to play on, play on... c) I saw Az was hurting, and I felt that if she didn't want to play, I was all for it... Besides, by the time we COULD have done it, Elit was gone and you were gone... when Elit got back, AZ and I were in no mood to play anymore... it was no longer much of a game |
Azriel | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 04:25 pm  I'm sorry you were sick and I hope you feel better. Your reaction when you read the transcript might not be the same reaction you would have had if you had been there at the time, in the same position as your teammates It's not your fault that you had to drop out, but it put us in a position, at the last minute, where we felt like we were at a big disadvantage. I wish you could have come back and supported our decision, but you are entitled to your opinion, if you disagree. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:09 pm  I am having a hard time piecing together exactly what was going on, if you could fill me in. I don't understand exactly why the game just did not go on without me, whose decision it was, and so forth. Was the other team given some sort of power over whether you could continue? |
Guruchaz | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:24 pm  I'm sure that will be the topic in chat. Otherwise, the novel should be in print soon. |
Elitist | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:48 pm  Essentially we came up with an alternate plan, OI, which was Spam would go twice. This wasn't acceptable to the other team, and their offer wasn't acceptable to us. By the time any compromise was close to being made, I had to get my daughter to sleep, so we were down two players. I think by this time things had gone to hell in a handbasket anyway, so any sensible debate was pointless. And it got worse before it got better |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:56 pm  I don't understand why an alternate plan was submitted for approval. Surely our team could do as we pleased in order to win. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:57 pm  I would say that is an accurate and concise account of events.
 |
Azriel | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:58 pm  No the other team apparently had to agree. They didn't. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 06:58 pm  Also, Ocean, put another way, you puke once and the world as we know it comes to an end. LOL |
Elitist | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 07:04 pm  Ocean has proved that the universe does revolve around him. Or at least what he picks up for take-out. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 08:13 pm  My thought exactly, Elite. |
Misslibra | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 11:03 pm  Just what is going on ... nuttin honey  |
