will do on pics..

just got to have lunch with Suds and Hitech.  Very interesting just to sit back and listen to long tome players and HTC discuss past present and future stuff.  Trying to figure out how to set up a video chat so you guys can look in.

The lag discussion in short discussed how you have to think of your plane on the front end twing the plane on the other players front end and how keeping your computer clean will help but can never completely alleviate lag.  short version but I'll see if Ghost wants to chime in a bit

Wish you guys were here.  I'm having a blast but it'd be nice to have more AVA'rs in here :)

I hope to attend some year. My airfare budget has already been spent on a trip to the Florida Keys this winter, though.

Wait, so your at the con, and as such, available to fly - correct?


This is good news. Even better news is that my router is finally here, and I'm up and running on wired again  ;)

In other news, finished 2 commisions, both customers are happy and have fully paid up - had it happened a couple of weeks earlier, I might have been able to make the dagnabit con lol......

excellent G  actually I don't plan to fly until the evil con mission.  having too much fun watching other guys do their thing.  68's and 332nd are well represented and everybody is fantastic.  Waiting on Midi to start his terrain discussion and just chilling.

An update.

Just got home for the night and my head is full of new and interesting information.  Nothing anybody doesn't know and no top secret squirrel stuff but new perspectives on the state of the game and potential futures. 

Midi did a great job of presenting terrain building in single syllable words that even I understood.  I get the feeling that having the ability to make terrains that work is going to be vitally important to someone if and when HTH comes back.

Great listening to Suds, Pyro, Hitech, and the gang and seeing that they do take this game and the details inherent to continually giving us a quality place to play seriously. 

And, of course, I did talk up the greatness that is AVA and didn't hear anything but positive responses so kudos to the staff and the regs. 

Check the pic thread in the Convention forum.  I took several but they came out too dark.  Apdrone did a great job of capturing the vibe there.
