So, I've been having small problems with my AC adapter for my laptop for a bit. Lately, it's been getting a bit worse, and you have to mess with it a bit to get it to feed power to the comp. Last night, I was playing and my computer was about to die, so I ran to get my adapter. I plugged it in and got a blue flash. Everyone gave me a wierd look, I shrugged, and plugged it in.

Several minutes later, my computer died. >_<

The power wasn't getting to the computer because my AC adaper fried, and now I have to 1. find a new one, and 2. wait a few days. Maybe I can hijack someone else's computer.

And I just bought the credits for my forging cartel... sad.gif

Well, I've been told to have the plug in the comp, the plug it into the wall. I plugged the cord into the wall, it went nuts for a second, then I shrugged and plugged it into my comp. Which didn't start charging...

Thank goodness it's only a $60 adapter or so, instead of a $2000 computer.

Oh, look, it appears that Marcalo took the five seconds I wasn't in the game to kill me. Bloody brilliant. I log and and I'm dead, because my computer went nuts on me.

When you go to kill someone, makes sure they're actually in the bloody game.

There's nothing worse than having your computer die. I'll never forget when I was on Achaea and I either got disconnected or computer died (forget which) and I end up sitting there on Achaea for -hours-. I get back online only to find that all of my clothing, jewelry, gold, vials, etc. were stolen :/. It sucked to no end. I mean, wouldn't the person stealing stop and think, wait a minute, this person obviously isn't here if I can take them to my house in another city, steal from them, and drop them off without a peep? They evenhad the nerve to try and steal from me again, and harass me when I got them enemied to the city.

I still hate whoever plays that character.

My little sister had a habit of deciding to use the phone when I was playing Achaea on dialup. Instead of yelling about her intentions, so I could log off, I bet she had some kind of pleasure on disconnecting me by surprise, and then go hiding in her room to chat with her friends, who she had seen not half an hour before in the school.
Since them, my timeout times are minimal, just in case somebody nasty decides to play with my soulless character.
