StCrisp you need a new job.  May I suggest going to school first. 


I have a Masters in Business Administration
a Bachelors of Arts in Writing
a Bachelors of Science in Resource and Personnel management
a Minor in Journalism (reporters here make minimum wage)
a Minor in Art
a Minor in Military Science

13 years experience in Intelligence and counter-terrorism work as well as Recon and Direct Combat Assaults and House Entry while leading groups of operators in excess of 110 subordinates and being responsible for millions of dollars worth of vehicles and equipment capable of leveling a small town

Hard to find work when the things you are trained to do are commonly frowned upon in civilian life


Did you buy those degrees online?


Nope.  Otherwise I wouldn't have had student loans that could be defaulted on me against my will, despite being current, when I was deployed.

In the end, Degrees mean nothing in the US.  90% of high end careers (according to published statistics) are secured through friends or family ties.  In America its not about being the best at what you do, its about knowing the right rich people and licking their butts for them (Or marrying their daughters)

After not playing much at all, and being absent from the CoE for 4 or 5 seasons, I joined up again in 2072.

My first event back, Joel and Necro tag-teamed me immediately like it was yesterday, and I didn't complete gate two. Old grudges die hard, I guess! Anyway, I surrendered, and it was honored.

Last week, I brought a buzzer to the BPU fest, figuring on exacting some revenge. After the second gate, I had a RL and CC with full purple bars set to give Necro an extra door in the side of his truck, but due to some technical glitch/bug, my guns would not fire. As in, "For the whole freaking event."

This left me in a bit of a predicament.

I turned tail and ran (Buzzer notwithstanding, I being the only one who couldn't shoot was a slight disadvantage,) and again, they let me resign with no problem.

Point is: They are successful because they are good and they work as a team, but I have a lot of respect for the way they played that.

But yeah, I sure wish I could shoot the snot out of them...

Pretty rediculous in alberta here... tradesmen come out of the gate making 80-90k(and most journeymen make 100k at least). No student loans very little brains.

Even educated people make a "fair" wage here. Frankly i get what i need to get done in a day by noon...trade stocks throughout the day(because of tax free savings accounts this is tax free income). Everyone shows up late and leaves early. That part drives me nuts but i go with the flow even if i am old school...last to leave and still half hour early. It will end with the oil boom and they will be crying like babies and i will buy their over priced homes with carefully guarded savings(from inflation...the economy/government forces us to all be stock brokers these days if you are a "saver" like me).

So crispy if you can handle a 6month winter comon up and get a cushy job and plug yourself into the market...because the wage slave is a dead end. It is a rediculous situation the world today and it is bound to go bustin the next few years. Buy gold and bullets.

Hrm. What messages did you see, if any? Or did the guns just do nothing?

Yeah, the guns just did nothing.

Didn't notice any messages; In the combat phase, they generally scroll so fast I can't read them, and I'm already looking at my next move anyway.

I was a little bewildered when it happened that first turn, figuring I just forgot to set it or something. Second turn, I knew something was amiss; and third turn, I totally panicked and cursed the gods of Evan.

I'll have to watch it again to see exactly what happened, but I'd like to think that after 5 years of playing this wonderful game almost every day, it wasn't human error...

:rolleyes:

I 've never even had more than a point of PSY in any of my hundreds of gangers, so I don't know--is it possible someone put a mutant hit on me to not fire my weapons?
(Even then, I'd think it would show up in the chat.)

Again, Sam, no idea. I can see this has got you perplexed as well, especially since the non-CoE events allow me to shoot the stuffing out of cars since then.

I'm really not sure where to go with this; I guess I'll just enter CoE 1 next week, and see if it repeats?

Bwahaha, can't remember if i heard you where from Alberta. I'm in saskwachian lolz, kinda the norm around here having no minds all over. Hell ya, most Americans definitely welcome here and all over Canada. I make it out to Edmonton & Calgary sometime, i'll hit you up next time I'm killing time visiting budds out there :D

The guns not firing bug is happening more regularly and no messages. Also re targetings are being forgotten by client. Both issues have happened several times to me and Bootrag.
