Please stop hitting refresh

It will not make the game come any faster. I swear. You are crashing the board regularly. Checking once an hour should be more than often enough. Here are the top five things you crazy 15-year olds can do instead of clicking here with your fingers crossed every 30 seconds:

5. Read a copy of Atlantic Monthly. Really a top notch mag.
4. Or, check out the Dahm Triplets' Playboy photos online. It really is a masterwork of airbrushing.
3. Plant some herbs. As detailed in my FTB thread, I recommend rosemary and basil (rosemary being particularly easy to grow) but hey, if you like cilantro, who am I to tell you not to plant some.
2. Ask yourself the question, "What would Jesus do?" Then act accordingly. You could also ask, "What would Jesus Not Do?" for which I can actually answer. Jesus would not click refresh every 30 seconds.
1. Play OOTP5.

Did you vote in my brilliant poll?

sixto · 04-13-2004, 07:01 PM

I'd have thought that was obvious, since I posted in your thread. I couldn't vote because the option I'd have chosen was not offered in the 10 options of the poll.

mauboy · 04-13-2004, 07:02 PM

Oh, yeah. Now I remember that post. :-p I must click refresh again.

theasfl · 04-13-2004, 07:11 PM

how do you know Jesus wouldn't be refreshing......?

sixto · 04-13-2004, 07:14 PM

Jesus sometimes speaks to me through my radio.

theasfl · 04-13-2004, 07:28 PM

Well of course Jesus wouldn't click refresh every thirty seconds. He is omnipotent. All he has to do is think refresh and it happens. That is why you never hear people ask What Would Jesus Do About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

More to the point: he's *omniscient*. He knows when the game is coming out, even if Markus doesn't.

Anybody have his e-mail? Maybe he'll give us the date then.

But you'll probably just get an auto-responder

theasfl · 04-13-2004, 07:48 PM

acs1970 · 04-13-2004, 07:54 PM

1-800-UP-THERE

True story--when I was a kid, a friend of mine had the number 878-4373 in our area code. They'd get tons of whacky calls....

There are only operators available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Standard Time though.

I'll add suggestion #6:

Go read the attendance analysis thread I just posted.

TC Dale · 04-13-2004, 08:25 PM

I thought it was 1-888- NOT-HELL.

Bobb Uttons is on the board.....

It's a scientifically documented fact that each refresh of the forum page accelerates the release of the game by anywhere from 17 to 22 seconds, depending on which router your ISP uses.

It has to do with atoms or something.

No, I am pretty sure it would be ball bearings.
