Title: Shot down by Comcast
Post by: Golden Dragon on January 02, 2017, 12:28:15 PM

Good morning all.  I was enjoying a fun morning when I was booted off for Comcast outages here in the Pacific Northwest.  I wonder how long it will take them to restore service?  Hopefully quickly as I only play the game when home on the West Coast.

Happy new year everyone!

Shot down again!  Seconds from white flagging town for a take.  Thanks Comcast.  I only play when I'm home on Whidbey Island so all this down time sucks.  My spologies to the 109 that climbed all the way up to fight me.

Where do you play from Floob?  I'll be offline for a few hours today again according to their service people.  It keeps going out here in the Pacific Northwest.

You're too young to know what cpid means maybe.

Enlighten me Floob.  I have no idea what it means.  By the way, where have you been?  I always enjoyed running into you and foghting you in the 109 you used to frequently fight with.

It's the air warrior term for one's in game handle. And I wouldn't be caught dead in a 109.

Did a quick google on cpid and this article popped up. Rather interesting.

Interesting read.  Thanks.  Well, I'm going to log a couple of hours on the road bike and hopefully Comcast will have their crap sorted out by the time I finish.  I hope to see you again in the cartoon skies Floob.  I could have sworn you were often in a 109. . .
