Arghhh.... since I changed my email address I can no longer submit games.... Help!!!!!....

Yes I remembered to change it in Stardock,Galciv and in the submit game screen .. but it doesn't seem to be submitting.. and it was a 60,000 as usual.. but it was my quickest ever 2 hours.. as opposed to 4 hours

BTW just to inform ppl as to why i had to change my email address:

It took me about 5 hours to change my email address everywhere.. its a real headache.. as If I forget one then I might no longer be able to update stuff as theys still have my old email address which I would no longer be able to access.. (It has happened to me before... especialy with online product purchaces)

someone was (and still is) infected with a virus that got my name out of their address book.. and has been sending spam and viruses using my old email as a return address.. this is the 2nd time in 4 years that it has happened..

I run Eset's Nod32 virus checker which is the best in the world and as such am a resseller for it it leaves the others for dead

I also run TDS,Superguard, sbybot killer, adaware, spywareblaster, wormguard and filechecker

all get updated daily so its extreamly unlikely that My system has or will have any viruses..

I even asked my isp if the msgs had originated from my mail account (IE: if someone had hacked into my email and sent the msgs) and they said that no one had and that the msgs in question wasn't sent through their servers..

But do you think that these dodo's out there believe me when I tell them that the virus / spam didn't come from me... NO!!!!.. so thats why i've had to change my email as they started hounding me..

Sorry about carrying on so.. Just wanted to tell ppl what was going on


So Please keep your systems clean... it can effect others reputations.. as the viruses read your address books etc to see who your mailing and use their names to help creat havock

I get periodic bounced messages from people who hijack my email address as well. It is a real pain. What I have done is I use a mail forwarder as an email address. This allows me to change my email address, but not have to notify everyone I have changed. They keep using the forwarder address. I never get spamed from that address.

Hi!
Nice story on page 19. Sorry, but I can visit these forums only on Fridays. I'll upload some games.

                
#505  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 6/4/2004 9:24:43 AM

Sure thing.. post away.. also post a MSG about me interrogating you .. and how you become part of the crew.. if you want to that is.. if not just let me know and I'll do it..


                          
#506  by Citizen Lothmorg the Black - 6/4/2004 10:13:49 AM

yes but how do we tell the difference..

The excessive makeup.



I guess I'll have to elaborate on that.
The evil Qwerk will have even MORE makeup on than usual and it will have a dark tint to it - to show the evil inside. Oh, he'll also tilt his head downward and look up at people - sure sign of evilness.
...And, he'll yell and scream like a little kid - for no apparent reason.

There. That should do it.

.... My stunt double makes a run for it... making me look good and raising my to 18th in the ratings....


                          
#508  by Citizen Andrew Azzameen - 6/4/2004 10:58:45 AM

Perhaps it's better if you do it. I'm not perfect in English, so it's better if I don't write long stories.

                
#509  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 6/4/2004 11:56:15 AM

but it doesn't have to be long... I'd rather think that a klingon who was a prisoner of other klingons could come up with a story on why he was their prisnor and why he wants to join starfleet..

But I'll write it if you wish

My stunt double makes a run for it


Look good? That had to be an awesome escape. Luckily, it's been recorded! (There's always a camera following Qwerk, ready to catch the action and get a good profile shot. It's in his contract.) The recap:

Qwerk instinctively knew what to do. He had a phaser in his hand and he was not afraid to use it. He takes a shot at one of the Jedi, knowing that they cannot resist showing off and that the Jedi will use his lightsaber to deflect the shot. The blast bounces off the lightsaber and toward Bromoser. The Drunken One sloppily staggers out of the way and the second Jedi deflects the shot again. Qwerk was already into a duck and roll maneuver, knowing that the errant round could be coming his way. The rebounded energy whizzes over Qwerk's crouched, rolling form and toward the Halutian Jedi.

A game of three way ping pong commences that lasts several seconds as all the Jedi want to keep deflecting the shot back at the inebriated master who has been frustrating their efforts. Bromoser calls upon all of his skills to stay alive, using all manner of staggering contortions to keep dodging until the energy from the weapon is spent.

Meanwhile, our heroic captain dramatically rolls out of the circle of death and into a kneeling position. He pauses to slowly look left and right in a confident manner, both to make sure the Jedi and the unknown man are distracted and to make sure any cameras or spectators get good profile shots. Afterall, a suave captain has his looks and reputation to protect!

Qwerk stays low to the ground and makes a quick dash down a nearby hallway and around the corner. Once out of sight, he slowly but confidently rises to his full height and waits for yet another good profile shot. Now he had to traverse an unknown complex riddled with strange beings (if the last room was any indication) and find his way back to his ship. No problem. He knows it will take less than an hour (minus commercial breaks), no matter how big the place is. Afterall, it does have to fit into one episode.

great stuff.... Gerakken ...
after all I don't want ALL the spotlight...

Did you see that tunmble... and the accuracy of that phaser...

these Jedi think their LightSabres are everything.. but give me a good phaser anyday...

J.T.Qwerk leaves the hollo-deck after a good workout.. and good PR film shoot for recruiting new red shirts ...


HEM: "Capitan.. your hurt.... " runs tricorder over the slight gash in Qwerks shirt were there is a slight red stain where a light saber nicked him in the midst of his tumble..

Qwerk: grinning from ear to ear "HEM.. Call me Jim .... " then rushes off to the brig to interrogate the Klingon prisoner

Klingon: now awake and restless "Where am I .. I demand to know where I am and why I'm here"

Qwerk: "Well well well... if it isn't 'MARDUK' The Scourge of the Klingon Empire ... Wanted in no less than 7 systems for Drug and Blood Capsule distribution"

MARDUK: "Qwwerk.... You know that you had those bogus charges laid on me .. you never did forgive my father for the death of your son"

Qwerk: "hmmm... maybe not.... but I've finally got you... Now.... I have a two problems to solve... problem 1 you.. what to do with you.. Problem 2 ... Genghis.... I know what I want to do with him.. but ....... "

MARDUK: " HAHAHA..... So Genghis has finally caught up with you .... Again..."

Qwerk:" Computer Shrink Cell 301's occupation area to 2'11" Square"

Computer: "Complying"

MARDUK: "Hey.. what are you doing... "
The laser bars of the cell slowly close in on the MARDUK till he has barely enough room to stand "GRRRRRRRRRRR I'll get you Qwerk"

Qwerk leave for the bridge .. Grinning....

CUTE: " Capitan Genghis has been trying to contact you.. It would appear that he has a proposal for you"

Qwerk: "Open Com's Channel to Genghis"

Genghis: "Well Qwerk its about time... Well what is your Answer .. I'm waiting"

Flashback to previous episode...
“Admiral Qwerk!” Genghis Hank crooned, “I have a proposition for you. Join me and help us battle the Galactic Guardians!”

Qwerk:" Where is my Crew Genghis... Haven't I done enough dirty work for you by cleaning up those Klingon's that bet against you... .. Very clever BTW... to make me believe that they had my crew... I'll not be taken so easily this time..... You'll pay for your deeds..... "

Genghis:"There are safe.... for now!!!! .. Qwerk..... For how long depends on you...."

Qwerk: "How do i know that they are.. and that you aren't lying to me again"

Genghis: " You Don't Qwerk.. " Grinning like a cheesier cat .. Blond Hair half across his face"

Qwerk:" I guess I have no choice then.. I'll help you.. but then you must return my crew"

Genghis: "Oh Qwerk..... I'm sure your crew will rest better tonight.... knowing that you are thinking of them... I'm transmitting Co-Ordinates for our First of MANY battles"...

the view screen returns to space in which there is but 1 solitary ship a ferengi trader ship

Qwerk: "I hope he doesn't mean to go to battle in that.... whats he hoping to do... Trade them to death"

So the Battle of the Guardians begin...

{this episode ends with a shot of the Klingon standing in his restricted cell.. with his hair standing on end with the static charge being generated by the laser bars...}

(note to MARDUK:Andrew... be sure to read the next episode... hehehe... Now that I have both yours and Genghis's attention )


J.T.Qwerk

Cheshire.

Forgive me, JT. Like Matthew, I too, have this ... problem, with spelling.

          
#516  by Citizen damoose - 6/4/2004 1:12:03 PM

Yours or other people's?

                      
#517  by Citizen Lothmorg the Black - 6/4/2004 1:13:47 PM

#518  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 6/4/2004 1:14:12 PM

thanks... Darn.. now it won't let me edit it..

                          
#519  by Citizen Genghis Hank - 6/4/2004 1:42:39 PM

Great story JT! Guess that puts it back in my court.

Qwerk: "I hope he doesn't mean to go to battle in that.... whats he hoping to do... Trade them to death"


Funny thing about this is... that's how I'm getting my wins these days. Well, this and build TS for those who are too slow to build Transports.

Captains log: MVdate 2187 ,

I'm currently testing the character of Klingon MARDUK to see if he has what it takes to be a Star Fleet Officer.. at the moment I'm testing his physical stamina.. it has been 24 hours since I placed him in a tight containment beam.. I must say that I'm surprised that he hasn't even singed his Klingon beard yet.. We'll see how long it takes..

the next test will test his emotional status after this physical ordeal

CUTE: Capitan We are approaching the 2 star ships from the Guardians of justice under the control of Theoden of Rohan and Major Dallas ..

Qwerk: "On my way.. have they seen us yet"

CUTE: "It doesn't appear so Captain"

Qwerk: "Stay just out of their sensor range ad plot parallel course"

Qwerk hurries up to the bridge from his quarters

Qwerk: "Any word from Genghis.."

CUTE: Sorry Captain.. we've heard nothing since he gave us this heading"

Qwerk: "HEM hows our prisoner going..."

HEM: "He seems to be holding up quite well captain.. ahh.. JIM"

Qwerk: "Dam you Genghis where are you...."

Qwerk begins to wonder if this is another one of Genghis's ploys to try and destroy Qwerk.. But it didn't seem so... It seemed that Genghis was scared and needed our help... but didn't want to admit it or show weakness in front of his crew

Qwerk: "Can we increase our scanner range"

CUTE: "Not without the energy band surges being picked up by the GOT's Ships"

Qwerk: "Looks like we have to wait" {and if its one thing I hate doing is waiting ... especially for the host of the battle"


                          
#521  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 6/6/2004 1:48:10 AM

Qwerk: "Stuff Genghis... we'll leave them behind for him to do battle with.. " Grinning....

CUTE: "They Still Haven't Seen us.. it looks like they are waiting for something.. or someone"

Qwerk: "Good... then do a long sweep passed them keeping out of scanner range"

CUTE"aye. aye.. Captain"

Qwerk: "Go to Warp 9.9 .. lets get as much distance between them and us..."

CUTE: "Course laid in and speed at warp 9.9"

The Starship Enterpwize zooms past the unsuspecting GOT warships which were waiting to ambush anything that comes their way... Won't that make for a nice sunrise for Genghis when or if he ever decides to enter this sector

Might want to go back to the holodeck while you wait on him, Qwerk. You do realize that you are only young so long, but can live forever (so it seems) on the royalties from syndication. Make those action packed promo episodes now while you can still do your own stunts in a studly manner!

                      
#523  by Citizen Genghis Hank - 6/6/2004 11:59:50 PM

Genghis was no longer pleased with the way things were going. Fresh from his success in recruiting J T Qwerk for the war on the Guardians of Justice, he was blindsided with major computer failures on the Ferengi ship.

"How long to repair, Joachim?"

"Unknown, my Lord Genghis. The Ferengi were too cheap to invest in redundant systems, and had not performed any backup or maintance on their systems."

"Ah, this will be the first thing I change when I reengineer the galaxy to match my eugenically superior vision!"

I may be a little more scarce for a while, RL/Work is heating up. I'll still check in on the forums, but may be limited in comment or creativity for the next couple of weeks.
