Carmen Diaz:
Are you on the dark side of the moon? :)
May as well be: Rural United States. We're lucky there's even an internet provider that reaches us at all. We're on the outer edge of the nearest satellite's service area, so the signal is weak on a good day. When its cloudy or windy-- and its
usually windy-- it takes several minutes to load a webpage, if it doesn't timeout, which causes me to have to retype everything I submitted if I forgot to copy it first. Each combat post requires at least 3 open tabs, (the thread itself, the reply page, and a page for each monster's stats, though there's often other things I need to look up, as well.) I'm running two fights at the moment, a quest that isn't in combat yet, plus checking all the PMs (usually at least 4 or 5 at any given time.) Not counting this one, I currently have 9 tabs open for this game, and I haven't loaded a monster for one of the fights yet! If I was posting from home, I'd have gotten maybe 2 of them to load by now. If I wasn't already bald, the service here would be enough to make me pull my hair out! /rant
