The Allies have sunk, good job I can swim.....

I take it i don't get a go this round as I just got my last hit.

Great game DD, many thanks for the excitement.

Good luck to the surviving pillars.

I think if you just got hit this round, you can still do one last shot, I know others have gotten one last shot off. :)

OMG!!!! For me that would be time to buy a new computer... IMMEDIATELY IF NOT SOONER! :d

(seriously... I pay all the bills online... so without a PC... AIN'T NOBODY GETTING PAID!!)

I build and repair them for a hobby and have 3 of them on a KVM switch to my HDTV running all the time doing different tasks and 2 or 3 old laptops I rebuilt so I always have something to use. I live on computers and couldn't be without one.

Most everyone else has taken a shot. You haven't been reported as dead till the next round goes. Shoot away.

hey guys, just wanted to let y'all know that I won't have computer access for I don't know how long. The one I was using won't let me sign on anymore. And can't use my SIL's puter very often, but will check in when I can. Hugs to all!

Oh no Debadoo say it isn't so. Wish I was closer you could use mine all ya wanted too. If there is anyway I can help let me know.

My husband has one on his desk, though no internet -- easily remedied with a long enough ethernet cable (I just don't trust wi-fi). And I have my old one in my closet, which could be put back into use, if necessary. I'll be getting a new one when we get our tax refund, one of those laptops that can turn into a tablet. He'll be getting this one, when I get that. His has some kind of weird problem on the secondary drive, which I can't figure out; mostly it works ok, but sometimes when it tries to write to that one spot, it pops the BSOD and he freaks out. :D It might not be the disk itself though, but possibly an IRQ conflict; back in the old days of 640k and everything "system" loading into the space between 640 and 1024, I had all the tools to suss it out and fix it, but things have changed a lot; I no longer have tools like that which can do that kind of deep level meddling, and without them, I told him I thought the only way to remedy it is to take all the drives out and reassemble the machine from there up, including a complete re-partition and reformatting of the drive. Not really worth it, so I told him to shut up and deal with it, until he can inherit this one. :D

Yeppers this is just too much fun not too. :laugh: Even have my sheet of who shot what and when. Can't say I don't love games.


I admit to doing the same. I had this deep thought that I could figure out where someone was by where they didn't fire. LOL
Thinking way too hard about this.

DD, i can't thank you enough for allowing me to play in the inaugural BattlePillarz! It has been great fun -- well, 'cept for the part when I was blown out of the water to honor Kat -- and maybe the part where my feathers got soaking wet and muddy -- and perhaps the part where we pillarz were incited to cavort with llamas and pot bellied pigs ;) Really, though, I've loved every minute of the game, and especially have enjoyed vaping on a gorgeous azure blue BB throughout. Thank you, from the bottom of my feet to the top of my crest!

If I knew what the error code was I might be able to find a fix for it. It's probably in the Bios.

Hey guys I hate to jack your game thread but I have BB noob questions. I've googled it but got conflicting answers. I'm seriously thinking about adding one of these to my vaping arsenal Thursday but I need 2 questions answered.

Question 1. I've read the tank that comes with the BB is good to go as far as "tank cracker" juice goes. My ADV in my ibtankeds is Radiator Pluid cause it just sings in a cartotank! Thats all the BB would see. I guess I should rename it PB! The Pluid Box! LOL! (Sorry bad joke) Pluid has been known to peel paint and run 2 cycle engines, so I was wondering if the included tank could handle it? I've switched to silicone orings in my ibtankeds and have no problems with oring swelling since (about 2 months). I used to have to change them out once a week.

Question 2. I've read on the BB site it only uses unflanged cartos. But ive read on the ikenvape website the flanged standard 35mm Nitros (which I use in my ibtankeds 2.5 ohm) work with the BB (actually say "best suited" for BB).
http://ikenvape.com/Nitro-Series/510-Nitro-2-5-Punch.html

Ive heard both. While researching, people on reddit and other sites say they used flanged and other people say no. The reason I ask is I have about 75 of them left. I would hate for them to go to waste.

Sorry for the long post and interrupting your game (which looks fun BTW! Ive been lurking around for a bit on this thread). Any answers would be appreciated! Thanks guys!

Oh bummer in the summer, Kycap. I had a silent hope you might take this game! But hop on over the pond to the party cruise. We've got Gin 'n It on tap.
(Bring some of your famous Bangers, and some Spotted ....)

:oops: sorry, ECF. :facepalm: (but it's just a food!)



And she means business!!!

She looks eggs-austed, Stud. She needs a reprieve in the lounge...

Couldn't tell you on the tank but I've never, ever heard of anyone having issues with the tank. I've never had any but I use 100% PG. Can't use VG.

Number 2 I use flanged and unflanged. Mostly flanged though because I've had this Fillerless Nitro you spoke of in here for 3 mo.. Thought it was getting bad but it was my other pv and I got them confused.

Oh and don't apologize for coming on this thread. It's about Billet Box's and people and your post covers both. BTW Welcome.

That's probably because I moved her eyes down. She has to have her feet on those footlevers to control the guns.:D

On those "Banger" can I bring the whole gang of bangers?:confused::facepalm:

ckquatt, I seem to remember some discussion about Pluid in the B Box tank. Hmmm.. dammit I wanna be like Data. "Accessing."

Perhaps if you go back to the Part 1 B Box thread, you might find talk about it. I don't recall specifics, but I want to say it was fine. No quoting moi.

On your second question, I've used both, as Stud has. I found the flanged to be finicky at times and when so, not make a connection. Sorry to present you with conflicting views, but tiz what it tiz. I may have to give them another go and experiment a bit more. I do defer to Stud tho. He IS the resident expert on them.

Happy Birthday Kat! (Think I have posted this on at least three threads, didn't want to miss it)
Been wondering about you. NICE to see you willow. You're missed :)

And Deba.... A little birdie told me.... Wait! Can't say that in this thread. A little KAT told me of your situation. Wanted you to know that we like you. Hope everything's OK and also hope you'll find your way back someday. If not though, thank you for crossing into our path. It's been a very pleasant experience, and you shall be thought of and remembered fondly.

But (deba)DO come back if you can, please.

I hope everyone is well, and I hope to return within a few days.

A special thanks to Kat for shooting off my load.

Of FIRES!!! GET your minds outta da gutter, for Peter_C's sake.

As DJ The Great would say, "C'ya!"

(And "MISS YA'S!")

:)

ok........either I am a genius........or I got very very lucky. (hint....it's the second one)

this computer is so messed up. I finally got it to boot in safe mode....tried to reset a user profile, nothing was in the file that was supposed to be there........finally decided to what the heck.......let's try a system restore....... went back to Jan 7th and the only program it said would be affected was that stinkin adobe acrobat!! It must have done an update without my permission, cuz I never allow it to update. Hate that thing! anyhow, doin the restore I think has worked. We'll see when I shut it back off and try to start it again! lol Now I got lots of catchin up to do on the reading. lol

If I knew what the error code was I might be able to find a fix for it. It's probably in the Bios.

That's my feeling too, that it's at a very low level; don't recall it right offhand, but the language on the BSOD seemed to indicate an error at a machine-code level. Which is why I don't have any way of doing anything about it, short of that near-total stripdown of the machine and full reassemble, and even that might not work, if one of the BIOS chips is faulty. Actually I'm wondering if any of those chips are the kind that plug in, rather than soldered down; we live quite near train tracks, and sometimes they really rumble the house; I'm wondering if it could be a case of chip creep?

But in any case, I went into the System Information and looked at the interrupts, and there are 3 cases of IRQ sharing, which might or might not be a problem, depending on the exact situation.
