You need ICQ so that we can talk to each other. Look up Hetzer. My ICQ # is posted here somewhere (scratches head) am at work right now so I can't pull my screen up. Instead of "Hotseat" game you go to network game and the screen will ask if you want to "create" game or "join" game. Chose "join" and enter your partners IP address in the top box and your callsign in the name box. I'll set the game up on my side and we can see about getting you up to speed for netplay. I have another newcomer that i've been working with so maybe we can play a team game. I should be online after 1800 or so PCT. If you are European then I'll look for you on Saturday. Posting your ICQ # on the Matrix site will help a lot. All that I ask is that you take pity on a poor tired sick old man and not beat on me too badly

Hetzer

Hetzer

Do not beleive a word this man says. He is evil incarnate. He will live forever simply because Heaven doesn't want him and Hell's afraid he'll take over. Hetzer is a bad bad man. But it's hella fun to play against him, and he's an excellent player to learn from.

I'd also be glad to try and show you the ropes, I can play most any time now that schools out, just find me on ICQ (#113334898). if i see you online (or you see me online) i could make an attempt; however don't expect to learn a hell of a lot, i'm not a good teacher and i have this nasty tendency to blow people up. *g*

If you're on european time, it may be easier to synchronise with me than across the Altantic. I'm a relative beginner, too. I'll be happy to help you get used to net-play. My ICQ number is 126242132. I like playing team games .. most ICQ battles seem to be solo matches, probably because team games take so long to play (perhaps 3 hours or more for a recon or light team).

i remember one when you timed out, and then were about to time out again when we finished...

BTW i want to do another in our series of team games. you gonna be on tonight (my time of course)?

Hetz, your crimes are many and varied. They include, but are not limited to, murder of innocent jocks, destruction of private property, assault with a deadly titan, aggravated assault, head hunting, cannibalism, being old, cooking people without a license, possession of unregistered firearms, possession of firearms with intent to harm, conspiracy to commit murder of innocent jocks, conspiracy to assault, and, worst of all, talking mad $h!+.
How do you plead?

Firestorm: I probably missed that encounter, but I'll be watching out on the ICQ connection. I'd really like our newby team league to get moving. What's happened to Karacan?

(Picture: an old man seated in a rocking chair quietly paging through a cookbook. The only illumination on the porch is from the soft gentle glow of the burning fragments of his last challenger.) "Ah, I knew that recipe was in this book" (he smiles softly) Howe to Cooke a Prynce.

Fyrste: Taketh one Pyrnce ande peel hyme frome hyse Tytayne liketh unto a grape.

Segundus: Causeth the CT of saide Tytayne to Explodeth.

Terce: Insyrte Prynce into thye cavitye causethed bye thye Blasthye.

Fourthe: Wayteth Fyve Secondeth (Syxte fore waile doyne).

Fyveth: Removeth Prynce frometh cayitye ande comsumeth wilthe Prynce ist styyle glowingth.

"Mathuth".
"Yes Igor?"
"The Remote Thentorth are picking up an incoming Titan"
"Ah, Thank you Igor it seems that dinner is served"

Yes, Hetzer. Like the Prince said. You do realize you aren't helping your "innocent, old, drooling man" case any. Ok, you're helping the old & drooling part, but the innocent is out the door.

Hetzer = Bring to boil, then allow to simmer for ten minutes. Season to taste. Serve hot with potatoes and carrots for traditional meal, or try raw green beans with orange slices for an interesting and healthy salad.

Caution: Improperly prepared Hetzer may be toxic, and therefore extremely dangerous to your health. Do not attempt to prepare without proper instruction beforehand.

When Hetz asks if you want to hear his last words. Don't answer, Just shoot to kill. You'll live longer.

No matter who you are going to prepare, never ever allow them to recite their epitath. If they are allowed to do this, the meat becomes highly radioactive, and may kill you before you can complete the preperations.
