Very true, thanks for that comment... just be careful or someone might think we're the same person. ;)

(I kid! I kid! I kid because I love!)

I thought I would post some comments on piracy but for some strange reason I just can't find the time these days. :D Maybe I'll do it in a week or so. ;)

Misteroo, I hope Midnight Synergy's reply to you reassures your mother. Let her know that I am a mother too and very concerned with security, especially where my chioldren are concerned. I have had no problems with this site and have even let my children both post here. :) I'm sorry for the mix-up here with your very simple goodbye. I think a lot of players here have forgotten that you are a young man of 15. :( I hope we will see more of you in the future. I for one will certainly miss you.

I'm just glad your not me! :D and I'm not Midnight Synergy!

People are still messaging me asking if you are me, and you are infact a practical joke by me, and thus you don't actualyl exist.

*sigh* Midnight synergy has checked the invoices, he checked the country of the IP address, Misteroo is NOT ME!

Thankyou pal ;) of course the fact that we replied to each other within 20 minutes, people are gonna think we are the same person. Thats just the nature of the beast ;)


If it is ok with Midnight Synergy, I will pay for you a copy of RTW, and see if Midnight Synergy can personally send you a copy of the game to your email or whatever. Just to say no hard feelings, welcome to the forums, and Im sorry you got mixed up in all of this mess. I think a few people from the start of this thread also owe you an apology, and me one for that matter.

Don't mention it, lets wait until Midnight Synergy reads this and see what he has to say.

You have been unfairly treated, in part due to my reputation for being a bit of a prankster.

There is a new game coming out in a week or so, a Deluxe version of RTW. But I am not sure if it is a standalone upgrade, or if you need the original RTW to play it. If it turns out you don't need the RTW to play the new deluxe game, I will get you a copy of that instead. All depends on what Midnight Synergys says and how he wants to go about doing it.

Good luck, Misteroo. :) What instrument(s) do you play? My son (freightrain) plays a trombone occassionally and my daughter plays the flute (as do I) and a little guitar. She also sings.
I do hope everyone realizes what a mistake has been made here and apologizes to you and BigZ. :( Everyone should remember that when BigZ plays a joke he always confesses once he's caught. I never thought Misteroo and BigZ were the same person. Their posts are too dissimilar and Misteroo sounds very much like freightrain. Before anyone gets the idea it's freightrain, let me assure it's not! Misteroo is legit!

Sounds like you did pretty good, Misteroo. :D Congrats! You must be pretty good. I just mainly fool around with mine. I haven't played seriously for very many years. I used to sing and play with choirs, friends, etc. My daughter sings and occassionally writes her own songs. She likes playing them, too. My son is more interested in Jazz. Trombone is a hard instrument to play well. He works on it occassionally. I think someday he will regard it as something he enjoys playing around with. Right now he gets frustrated with it too easily. :lol:

(Eeyore sneaking in the door, just HAVING to put her 2 cents in)

Well, when I was about 6 or 7, my mom sprung for a year of piano lessons for me. We had no money for more, so I kept teaching myself. I ALSO wanted to play the flute in junior high, but the stupid music teacher said no, he needed a trombone player. So I learned that, it was fun, but tired of it soon. I DO still enjoy the piano when I have time :D

I was in the choir at school (a LONG time ago), and I tried learning the Spanish guitar but holding down the strings used to hurt my fingers (whimp!) so I stopped. I can play the kazoo though! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: eeyore, your two cents are always welcome. I took piano lessons when I was 17, but never really got the hang of it. Guitar and flute are my first loves and I only know how to strum chords on the guitar. Never got the chance to take spanish or classical guitar, popo, though I wanted to. :( I agree, it really hurts until you develope calluses. Wish there was an easier way. My best friend's son has been playing guitar 4 years and he plays beautifully. Every time he sees a guitar, he wants to play. Do you feel that way about the flute, misteroo? I really love playing mine.
Sorry, almost forgot. I'm impressed with your mastery of the kazoo, popo! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink: I just can't seem to get the hang of them. They really tickle my lips when I play them and I wind up laughing. :lol: :lol: By the way, have you ever heard the kazoo orchestra?

Poor me, I never got to learn how to play any instrument :( :( :( Buhu, sob sob.

But I love to sing with the voice I have, my family are NOT happy about that.

I would love to learn how to play the guitar, piano and flute, but I think it`s too late to learn how to read notes..

No, I haven't. I can't imagine it being very tuneful, if my playing is anything to go by. :oops: :lol: :lol:

Popo and Misteroo, there actually is a kazoo orchestra. :lol: I've seen it a couple of times, can't remember where though. I do know it's usually done as a joke, but once in a while you'll hear them do something and it actually sounds fairly good. :shock: Of course, it takes a group of people who can actually carry a tune. :lol:
I'm very happy you'll have RTW soon, Misteroo. :D Hopefully then you'll be able to add some levels to the forum. :D
Salin, it's never too late to learn. It just takes a little more determination for an adult to do it, because it can take a lot of time from our everyday lives. As children, we are already spending our time learning new things, so another new thing doesn't change our schedules all that much. If you decide to do it though, I'm sure you'll be successful. :D

Just thought I would add this, it's quite funny. Well, to me it is.

I used to sing in a pop group, thought I was a female John Lennon!

We didn't get anywhere, not surprising with me in the band.

I still sing... sometimes. The years of smoking has given me a gruff voice
and I am better at the C&W rather than R&B or pop.

If you asked my husband, he would say. Best keep quiet, easier on the ears! HAHAHA.

I also adore classical music, Puccini is my favourite.

I'm sure nobody is interested but, it kills some time between the storms.




M.A.D. :lol: CRACKING UP!

I can picture you with a cowboy hat on, doing a Tammy Wynette. 8) :lol: :lol:

My husband's daughter plays drums in a band "Multicoloured Yawn". They're quite good. Her boyfriend plays guitar.

I feel a little silly for asking, but can someone describe to me what a kazoo looks and sounds like?
