Official Match Thread Season 37 - Round 5 - Dragons FFC v Roys FFC at Ljp86's Lair

[T2B_]

Cmon Drags, big second half needed for the great man!

Also yeah, the premiership points are nice too I guess.

 

[Wosh]

Probably something scheduled with the latest upgrade, unless something huge has happened in sport and there’s a big spike in users.

 

[Mooch]

Don't give Hollywood any ideas!

It's OK the writers are probably still on strike. You see, they think that if they withdraw their labour in protest, AI WON'T take their jobs after all.

 

[Mobbs]

Unfortunately my internet has decided to go to water. Taking a full 30 seconds to even register a reaction.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Yeah I have a lag posting.

That's alright, maybe turn it off and restart the sim from the beginning and it might work.

Not just you mate by the looks of it

 

[Mobbs]

Just me or BF slowed to a crawl?

I don't handle slow internet well, I just kept opening the same page in 30 more tabs hoping one would work faster. Didn't work. Unsure why not.

 

[Wosh]

I have a long memory in this game... don't think I'll forget this anytime soon!

Yikes, please don’t make my tattooed arse into a lampshade

Don't worry that's usually normal if Greenery has told you a "joke".

 

[Mooch]

Just me or BF slowed to a crawl?

I was just reading about super successful DDoS attacks. You don't think one jumped from the magazine into my laptop do you?

 

[T2B_]

Don't worry that's usually normal if Greenery has told you a "joke".

 

[Wosh]

Unfortunately my internet has decided to go to water. Taking a full 30 seconds to even register a reaction.

It’s not you it’s the site, usually only last a few minutes. Likely something with the last upgrade.

[Mobbs]

Probably something scheduled with the latest upgrade, unless something huge has happened in sport and there’s a big spike in users.

It's Sweet FA matchtime. Can users not affiliated with the Sweet FA still access the site during these times. Probably should fix that.

 

[Mooch]

That's alright, maybe turn it off and restart the sim from the beginning and it might work.

Actually no. The internet is absolutely fine. It's just you.

Keep going Wosh. Keep going.

 

[serial_thrilla]

serial_thrilla here's an updated overhead map of Dragon Island showing the semi-developed east end.

big_icky has already laid claim to all residential buildings east of the ground.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Why is Mike italicised?

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Actually no. The internet is absolutely fine. It's just you.

Keep going Wosh. Keep going.

I’ll get into it

 

[Mobbs]

Why is Mike italicised?

His name starts with an underscore, the site code automatically reads this as a reserved character indicated an italics toggle.

 

[Ligma]

I somehow have my doubts that Ligma would have handballed to him in this situation.

Whoops

 

[T2B_]

Why is Mike italicised?

Think the underscore being interpreted as italics, like Markdown, a type of text formatting.
