I've got that one! I've only ever played the AI, though. Not interested in playing board games against random internet people I don't know, generally, but I'd be happy to play against you sometime.
What's your username? I'm thecatt. My wife and I have been multi-ing it against each other the past several nights. I enjoy it, and the challenge of the different maps. We've got US, Europe, Switzerland, and Asia.

My apologies. I thought I'd be back to a regular schedule tonight, but I've got a frozen pipe to deal with.

Once I'm back at work, I'll be back on my regular gaming schedule.

How does one deal with a frozen pipe? We appear to have one in one of our sinks. It's part of a dual vanity, and the other one is fine.

Once it is frozen all you can do it wait it out or try to thaw it. Don't use an open flame. Could burst, too. Could already have burst. You wont know until it thaws.

Is it a drain pipe or a pipe carrying water?

For a drain, you can put space heaters in the area to help the process. You can also try pushing a garden hose down until it hits the ice, then pour hot water into it. Go slow as it'll obviously come back up until the ice is gone.

For running water pipes, shut the water off immediately. Wrap the pipes in some towels or something to insulate them, and again soft heat from a space heater or something.

To prevent other freezes, open cabinets under sinks, turn your furnace up a bit, etc.

Do your pipes run through a slab, crawl space, basement, or none of the above?

Pipe carrying water. I can't reach the pipes, they are in the wall of the house, which is an exterior wall. I don't think it's in the part of the cabinet under the sink, I would think it's in the walls. Since one sink works and the other doesn't, though, that has to narrow it down.

Do whatever you can to get some heat into that area and shut the water off ASAP.

Hey Gordo, did you know you can send messages in Steam? I've said before, if I'm on, I'm available.

BTW, you'll notice you were in a game as well...

When I got on, you were playing LoL, Cake was Away and nobody else was on. Didn't realize it was ok for you to be in a game while waiting, but not me.

So to sum up, it was you that was the one who caused us not to multi tonight!

I was thinking that while playing. But, Oblivion is supposed to be "all that", so, I'm playing that first. Bought it like two years ago. Needs to be played.

Leisher, you are allowed to message people too. I figured that if you weren't messaging, then you wanted to solo tonight.

I can't believe you have a frozen water pipe though. It's got to be COLD COLD COLD for it to get into the wall and freeze a pipe. The only pipes I've ever heard of freezing are pipes that lead outside. Like to a garden hose or something. You'd have frost on the inside of the wall if the pipe inside was freezing.

Southern houses aren't built right. They are build to withstand hurricanes, not temps below 32 degrees.

Yeah, it's strange to me too, but happened to some other people around here as well. Resolved itself yesterday.

Again, you were AWAY, Gordo was in LoL, and nobody else was on. There was nothing to message him about.

"Hey Gordo, I'll sit here doing nothing while you play your game. But when you're done get out so we can both sit here doing nothing and wait to see if Cake or anyone else gets on."

I've done that enough the past three years.

And why didn't you message anyone when you finally showed up?

You started everything, and now you want to pretend like you had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, men do that...
