JohnDillon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What's up homies.My name is PV2 Patterson, John Dillon III, I am a 19 year old Army reservist serving in Iraq! Here's me!I've found there is certainly enough down time over here to squeeze a few hours into this game, so why not?There isn't a whole lot to do around here when we aren't on missions, go to the gym, waste money at the PX, chill with the homies, spend too much time on Facebook.Havent played full-fleged in over a year, lots of new things going on in the game I see. Well this was an introduction to me.You can add me : D I L L O NJust to chat, talk about life, the Army, Iraq, anything. "Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the lunar lander and the blackjack. Ah, screw the whole thing."

Sk8erfreak Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 A buddy of mine in RS got back from Iraq a few months ago.. He said the internet over there was so slow it was impossible to do much besides browse the web, how is it working out for you? Laggy at all? Anyway, stay safe! How long have you been over there? 136 Combat, 2290+ Skill Total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey, just so you know, introduction topics aren't allowed. You may though use this thread for all your introductory needs: http://forum.tip.it/topic/78466-introduce-yourself-to-tipit/ A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

das Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 intro topics are typically bad and are met with a lock - however I believe this post is unique enough to warrant it being unlocked since it sort of covers playing Runescape while being deployed and people are seemingly being interested in asking questions about scaping on active duty - I think this may have some potential for discussion. I'm not really "Reversing" what mirror did - because his lock was appropriate -but i'm playing with fire and making an administrative call to reopen this one because I think this could turn into an interesting discussion. I'm going to leave this thread in General discussion for now, however if it goes off-topic then it'll be moved to another forum. Now to start the topic rolling again - Do you find it wasy to play over in iraq? Two friends of mine were deployed (Both navy I believe) and said the connection was so awful that they could not really play due to the lag.

Zaaps1 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 First of all, thanks for serving our military! I have a few friends who have served/are serving. I might end up going to West Point, but we'll see. Very interesting to know the lifestyle of soldiers. Likewise, it's interesting to know that you guys have enough time for leisure.

ghost4sale1 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sorry, I find myself believing that you're not in Iraq because your lack of posting. That might just be because I'm an [wagon]. If you're really there fighting for our country, good for you! :thumbsup: -For the 5th time, how is the lag? My signature got deleted :( And I lost all the links. Thanks Gandorf61.
