> Congratulations! Did you happen to read the article in themushroom.com last month entitled, "Everyone has a cable modem except you"?

Nope... will look at it when I get back from work this afternoon.

> Sounds great. I've been slacking off Q3test lately, but I can still call myself a solidly mediocre player. :-)

That sounds like me :) I get wasted by those "Eat/breathe/sleep/live Quake" guys, but I'm not one of those folks that just stands there while fighting somebody with a rocket launcher. Last night I was destroying on a server full of 'em, really helped my ego (I won with 30, second place had 11).

> A game with other RinkWorkians would be awesome. I wonder whether by coincidence you've ever run into me in a game already? I always play under the nick "CarrotBoy". (And I'm always the one running from some guy with a cable modem. :-) )

Haven't seen you. I'm always SKeller or Stephen or SKeller64 or something along those lines. And the nice thing about a cable modem is that a sub-100 ping really can help make up for a lack of skill :-P

Okay, so now we need to set up times. I'm on the west coast of the US so we're in Pacific Daylight Time. I'm good anytime in the evenings...

Should be pretty cheap. Though I still don't get what people see in the game. It's just a MUD with fancy graphics...
