Randy and I missed the Sunday morning mass when we woke up late.

Although Mama came to spend the weekend with us, I forgot what day was it until we pray the rosary.

My daughter was busy with her magazine deadline and she wasn't able to spend the weekend with us but she promised she will come on Saturday, before Randy leaves to San Diego. Meanwhile, Mama left at noon to attend church service, after knowing my daughter will not be able to visit.

We spent the entire day doing laundry and watching Disk 7 and 8 of CSI Season 1. The weather was good and we're able to dry fast our clothes. Randy has been busier conquering villages on w10 while I did some Neopets flash games. He's happy that he ranked 10 on TW Stats W10 Achievements.

As I logged in this morning, Randy told me that he was banned in Tribal Wars - World 13 for having duplicate account named chris3141.

Here's the copy of the two messages from the Tribal Wars Team:

Account banned

The forum is not the right place to discuss a ban, please don't start a complaint topic. If you do want to appeal the ban, please use the support system. The account will only be unbanned if you open an appeal. If a punishment has been offered it is advised to just accept the punishment or the restart if it is offered as it is very unlikely that it will be changed. In those cases please only appeal if you have very good reasons. Please do read the rules again before appealing. We do not accept the excuse that the rules weren't know!

Reason for your ban: Each player is allowed only one account per game world (except account sitting). Sharing your password with another player is forbidden http://www.tribalwars.net/rules.php (§1) Accounts: Retiredwarrant + chris3141

Punishment: points will be deducted to 2,071
» Accept punishment
» Raise appeal (Only successful and therefore necessary in exceptional cases)

Your account can be attacked while this ban lasts.

Here is Randy's first reply:

I have no idea who this Chris guy is but I have only one account in worlds 8, 10, 12, and 13. I have been very cooperative with the staff even letting you know when I go to my fiancee's home in the Philippines to let you know that I am playing from another IP address.

I am shocked to even be accused of having a second account and would like this resolved quickly before I lose any of the hard work I have put into this world thus far.

Randy messaged me: "This is very shocking to me as you know I don't do duplicate accounts and I have put a lot of work into that world. I hope they correct the problem."

Impatient for not receiving any reply, Randy sent this:

Any word yet, I am losing time, could you please check my IP and you will tell I have not been using a duplicate account. If this is not resolved ASAP I will quit all the worlds and you will lose all my paid accounts and the accounts I am paying for others. Your choice. I have never been accused of cheating and I am getting quite angry now.

I was worried Randy will stop us from playing if Tribal Wars Team failed to reply to him when he logs in back to the game in the morning. Anyway, everything was fine as he logged in to his world 13 account, he sent me this message that he was unbanned and can access now to his account:

Thanks for explaining about this. Our system flagged you as being on the same IP and password for some reason but it seems this is not the case.

You have been unbanned.

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Regards,

Jon Dawson

This ban inconvenienced both of us because Randy has to do his smithy and academy so he can noble a village next to my village in K54. I told him my tribe, GEN-X, is a very active one and tribemates watch everyone's welfare. I wish to invite him to join us but, I have to wait until he's ready to move to my location.

I reset my DP early this afternoon to accompany my son, Paul Denise, to the dentist.

Pearl and Shiela were with us when we went to Queen Mary Holistic Center located at Medical Plaza. Dr. Chavez is still in Canada so her assistant was the one who treated my son's dental concern. They explained to me the difference between Dental Treatment Plan A and B. So, I choose Treatment Plan A, for practical reasons: root canal treatment wouldn't last because my son is a smoker! I only gave partial deposit in the amount of Php 10,000. Next appointment will be on Nov. 3, at 2 pm

It was past 6 pm when we left from the clinic. Pearl and Shiela picked us up so we went home altogether. We're supposed to do some grocery shopping but since my son wants to rest, we went home after buying the prescribed medicines. At Mercury Drug Store, it took us about 30 mins before we were accomodated because many people were in line buying the medicines. Guess so many people are ill these days...

We've made it home finally, before Randy comes back online. I forgot to run Skype and I found out only he was online when I checked OP. He was upset he couldn't login to Tribal Wars so I activated Account Sitting request he made few days back. I was able to login to his account and researched wood, clay, and iron. The game wouldn't let me logout but fortunately, I remained logged on in my actual account.

Anyway, am relieved my son finally have time for dental treatment. He always set aside appointments before but since he has to undergo full medical checkup, he realized it's about time...

Randy told me the authorities are doing their best to handle the situation. Half a million residents evacuated already and hotlines 211 for fire info; 511 for traffic and road closures; aside from 911 emergencies, are on standby to those who remain at home.

Firefighters get break from winds, aircraft and chopper attack the flames with water, calming the tail of Harris Fire on advancing near Randy's area. I could hear most of nbcsandiego live news feed via Skype while Randy and I are playing uc.

On the lighter side, Randy's daughter, Judy, bought me some game points in Tribal Wars - World 10. I started playing it two nights ago while busy monitoring the situation in San Diego's website while Randy was at work.

It is past 11 pm on Randy's side, he said the fire near his area was put out, no orange skies but, no one knows what comes next, when everyone is asleep....
