Sorry.
What does "1d3" stand for anyway ?
1 die 3, that is you roll one three sided dice and whatever the result that is how many days the patch will be delayed.
I once heard a coin toss refered to as 1d2. [:D]
Rollplayer humor.
Perhaps this is the delay we are waiting for some trainee to find the three sided dice?
Go-on show me a real three sided dice.
A one sided die is a ping pong ball with 1 written on
A two sided die is a coin with 1 & 2
A 4 sided die is a pyramid 1,2,3,& 4
But a 3 sided die, go on how do you do it, and no cheating by using each number twice on a standard 6 sider or simply dividing by 2 and rounding your result up.

I'm not a role player, but my younger brother was, which is where I picked up the lingo. I can't think of a physical shape for a three sided dice, but a six side dice with two 1s, two 2s, and two 3s would yield 1D3 on a single roll with no rounding. I know he had all kinds of dice of all kinds of shapes and sizes.

Nope, the movie chap, simialr to the MacLeod 'there can be only one' fellow, and maybe McBain, MacKenzie, MacDonald of Clanranald, Macneil of Barra, etc. I didn't see any McBond in my Scottish Clan books.

Hmm, I guess I forgot to mention that Eric has given up programming patches for Lent. Sorry about that.

Okay, just kidding. The truth is that today he's putting up a new beta patch, and if that works fine we'll be ready for public beta. Hang in there...

Hmmm, interesting. I hope those always asking about when the patch will read your post, because I am in not any hurry nor great anticipation and would rather wait for a large and good one. [;)]
I also am of Polish descent and was raised Catholic, and the only thing I give-up for Lent is cussing and cursing, so I don't give-up much in actuality. [;)]

I should perhaps explain, as my humour may well be missed by those outside England.
Shaun Connery the James Bond of your avatar is of course a very famous scottish actor, and also well known as a proud Scotsman who is very much in favour of Scottish nationalism and the break up of the United Kingdom. My post is simply poking fun at the fact that this proud and nationalistic Scot is so in love with his country that he chooses to live in... Bermuda. LOL
Hence James McBond of the Bermuda McBonds[:'(]

If you allow coins as a type of dice (two big sides plus a third side that's so small the thing can never land on it), then you should have no problem allowing triangular frustums: imagine an equilateral triangle extruded into space so that the length of the extrusion is much, much longer than the length of the sides of the triangle. Then glue regular tetrahedra onto each end of the frustum to eliminate the chance that it'll balance on the end after you throw it. Now write 1,2,3 on the faces of the frustum and throw it in the air. I've actually seen one of these for sale at the Origins convention.

Hey, Tiger,
As long as citizens of Great Britain are not TAXED while residing outside of the country, Mr Connery ain't practicing politics, he using good sense!

Ahhh, I didn't know Bond (aka Sean Connery) was living in Bermuda. Actors seem to be in the main overtly opinionated, mainly to serve their own ends it seems to me.
I guess with all the talk of secession going about, we should prepeare for a bit more anarchy in the near future, as compounded and continuous secession occurs soon we will be in a situation akin to the Greek City-States and Feudalism.
Wah, wah, wah, and me, me, me, I did it myyyyy wayyyy, I don't think this or that and I believe this or that because that is what I believe and I am entitled to my beliefs and everyone should agree with me, etc.
I just don't know anymore!! [&:] Preposterous attitudes indeed!!

I think a new psychological warfare strategy is in order.
We don't need no stinking patches. I have better things to do than to play FOF. If they ever issue a patch, I won't even download it. I think I've lost all interest in the Civil War anyway. I'll spend my hobby time with a first person shooter or downloading porn.
Patch smatch.

Yow!!! PsyOps IS where you belong!!! Glad you don't have any pocket nukes or anything.
When the upgrade/patch arrives it will be very good.
