[Peacemaker7]

LOL was just listing the teams for you. NIgeria it is then.

Thats 13 players we have, I think tbh thats probably enough and we'll close applications.

[bartley_m]

I'm startin to think I don't have a hope in hell here...

[OMDave]

So are we still picking players etc. on Friday from 9 pm uk time?

[Raptor]

T&T on Friday, games on Sat?

[BobBev]

I might struggle to make Friday so would there be any chance of a second T&T session before play begins? If not then no problem, I'll probably get thrashed anyway.

[Peacemaker7]

Yeah should be able to get a session from 9pm Friday, play from 9pm Saturday.

Problem is Bob, I think we need to continue the game a bit on Friday to select squads so hmm not quite sure whether a T&T on Sat would be any use.

OK - understand

[Peacemaker7]

I'll let you know on Friday once we see how it shapes up

[Daz the Imp]

After I've selected squad and stuff should I holiday because I don't think I'll be around until 9.30 at the earliest. Depends what time I get back from the Bristol R - Lincoln game really...

[Peacemaker7]

Yeah think so Daz.

People who havent registered at the MSN place need to do so please asap.

[BobBev]

Do we need MSN Messenger as well?

[attjen]

okay, I've sent an application for that group.

I'll ask the same thing that BobBev did, do we need MSN messenger? or will we get an e-mail?

(The computer I expect to be playing on* has an old version of messenger, and it looks to be taking forever to get the updat)

*If we are playing in 3.9.68, am I correct in thinking that save games are not compatible from 3.9.65 and vice versa? If this is true, then I have to load CM on a different computer, because I don't want to lose (or have to reinstall) 3.9.65.

also, while I think I will be able to do this today, but I'm still not sure about tomorrow. The timing just isn't really good (mid-afternoon here), if I don't make it back, will my manager be on holiday?

[Raptor]

Applied. Tonight's session starts at 9pm BST?

[Raptor]

I'd say T&T tonight, then move the game to the eve of the opening game tonight. We did it this way in UCMS and that worked well.

[JC_101]

Crap, it turns out I can't make tonight's session.

Is that an insurmountable problem, or can I just quickly do my squad tomorrow if I work out its compostion during the day?

[Peacemaker7]

No you dont need MSN messenger, but you might need a download if you use Netscape.

I think moving to the opening game is the best option tbh, it saves time and hassle. If you can't make the session tonight, you can still play but it just means you wont be able to actually pick your squad.

Yeah put him on hols fore you leave, will be fine. Unlike club management at least he cant buy or sell anyone! And yes versions have to be the same.

[bartley_m]

Sorry, can't make tonight. Bloody Guitar lesson

[Brian W]

my PC's died again.

In the next hour, I need to either get the Windows XP recovery console working, or find a copy of CM0102.

[Macca_SAFC]

Applied, taking a shower now so should be back by 9pm.

[attjen]

I have a bad feeling about this...

I think I'm ready to go right now: 3.9.68 installed, connection okay, sitting ready to play... (actually playing on the other laptop...)

but in an hour, I bet I will be nowhere to be seen.

[Daz the Imp]

I've just spent the last two hours fixing my computer because the fuppin thing wouldn't load 01-02. I'm just re-downloading the patch and, fingers crossed, will be ready

[Daz the Imp]

Ready

[BobBev]

So what happens now?

[Daz the Imp]

Eager beaver Bob, four minutes yet I'm sure PM will let us know when everything is sorted

[BobBev]

I'm a multi-player virgin Daz - might have known I'd come too soon.

[WLKRAS]

join the chat on the MSN webthing

[BobBev]

Ah - that's how it works!

[Daz the Imp]

I can't see the smiley face and the download still hasn't started

[WLKRAS]

Are you blocking pop-ups?

[Daz the Imp]

Probably, and I'm not sure how to go about un-blocking them

What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer

Assuming you're on XP SP2, it should complain about downloading some active-X element below the address bar, i think you can unblock pop-ups from in the same place. A new bar automaticly shows up if it's blocking something iirc.

[Daz the Imp]

God, I didn't think something this ridiculous would stop me getting in. I hope I'm not holding everyone up...

It's still not coming up. Just tells me downlaod is in progress.

No idea why it's not working

[Daz the Imp]

Can someone just tell me the IP over MSN? wormxing9 at hotmail dot com

[Raptor]

Can't do that, because you need to clear entry with the host every time. So you NEED to be in the chat.

[Raptor]

Kindly take the following rules into account:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>

<LI>Use of manager passwords is strictly forbidden.

<LI>Nobody can enter the game, at any time, without getting clearance to do so from the host

<LI>No entering the player search screen during human-managed matched

[Daz the Imp]

I can't there. Any suggestions Rap?

[Peacemaker7]

Good session lads well done, will be on tomorrow at 9pm sharp!

[Daz the Imp]

Must just apologise if I held y'all up

[Peacemaker7]

No you didnt actually, so dont worry bout it.

[Daz the Imp]

Awesome
