Big New Aussie Game tonight:) - Page 2

First blood to HORSE!!!

The Horse empire stalls on the power graph as it prepares for another massive wave of expansion. Our love of science drives us to build the Great Library of HORSE. We are also driven to exploration but lose one ship and its peaceloving horsemen as a result of a cowardly attack from the evil Arseholes. How aptly named they are!

Are you guys going to be around tonight?

May 18, 2000, 07:02

Makeo and Hydey are here but no horse ?

May 18, 2000, 07:12

I'm here - you just can't see me and I'm watching you on icq (he he). I don't think finbar is going to show - he has Italian lessons or something.

May 18, 2000, 07:45

OK... Aussie Friday night at 9pm for continuation of this interesting game

Be There!!!

As reported on CNN Worldwide, P. Costello and his ****hole empire suffered an entirely unprovoked attack at the hands of one A. Horse and his empire. The aforementioned A. Horse landed a diplo and a horseman outside a freshly built and therefore unguarded ****hole city, established an embassy with the diplo, and promptly wiped the city from the face of the map with the horseman.

Later, said A. Horse claimed to have mistaken the ****hole empire for one belonging to a chappie by the name of Makeo. Mmm. Having established an embassy before obliterating the city, he knew the civ had nothing to do with anyone called Makeo. Proving only that said A. Horse speaketh through forked bridle.

Subsequently, the ****hole navy sank a Horse trireme and persuaded one of his horsemen to join a worthier cause. And the best is yet to come.

The ****hole empire did, though, make acquaintance with Mr Makeo. An extraordinary act of generosity towards Mr Makeo on the part of the ****holes proves to Mr Makeo, hopefully, the ****holes' fair intentions.

after playing Makeo tonight I think you all might enjoy playing better without me as I am to crap to play you guys

May 18, 2000, 20:00

Oh c'mon Hydey, the best way to learn is to play with people of the calibre of Deity, finbar and Makeo!!! I know myself, Deity and finbar are about as helpful as anyone to new players. You're on a good wicket here

As for the Costello news report, more lies. The city in question was named "Black Bean", it was left undefended for 2 turns and our empire happened to be short of that sauce. QED.

Hey, Hydey, Makeo hammered me mercilessly (like to death in about 200AD, from memory) not long before he disappeared o/s to the delights of the snow bunnies who use z in certain words instead of s. And it wasn't even a duel.

All part of the growth process, my son.

As to the Horse and his forked bridle, the untruths continue relentlessly. The city was called French Bean, not Black Bean. Too lazy or too poor to buy his own, or too lacking in nouse to grow his own, he resorted to snatching other people's. As always, the truth will out, and right will prevail. Well, in the fantasy world of Civ anyway.

Excuse ME! The city was called Black Bean and I notice there are other cities on that island named after vegies that my empire craves

(though cabbage is banned from Horseland

)

Anyway, I think my actions were perfectly understandable. Firstly, if you leave a city undefended for two turns with a tri from an unknown civ next to it the other civ is going to think either you don't want that city or you're asleep at the wheel. Since you've obviously already forgotten the name of your city people can draw their own conclusions i.e. it couldn't have been very important to you

Secondly, if you name yourself after Peter Costello just about any Australian will attack you!!! I saw red, what did you expect????? Thirdly, my people are really enjoying their beef with Black Bean sauce and are warming to you. They might even forget your act of aggression against our hapless tri, that was just peacefully exploring

Btw, I think Hydey is actually ahead of me on the powergraph at the moment so I don't know what he is whining about

The arseholes have truley shown their friendship towards the Aztec nation and their generosity will not be forgotten.

Hey hydey what are you talking about, your killing me in our game.

AND you've learned its a good idea to stack units.

Oh well, why don't you just climb right up his bum then. Keep going - I can still see your feet!!!

Makeo · May 19, 2000, 00:25

WHAT? you can still see my feet? i better keep going then

May 19, 2000, 00:54

Lucky I've got my sunglassess on, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you up there makky!

finbar · May 19, 2000, 03:51

1. Won't be around till 9.30-ish tonight, lads.

2. Horse, you're even fuller of it than usual. The city was called French Bean. I can send you a save from when the city existed. And your interpretation of an undefended city is your own interpretation. What's more, your scurrilous attack on a perfectly charming, well-intentioned, thoughtful (and not the least bit arrogant, despite reports to the contrary) chappie by the name of P. Costello, who has nothing but the best interests of everyone - and especially the needy - at heart is ... well, nothing short of ... um ... I'll think of something. Next thing you'll be damning the Reiths and Kemps of the world. For crying out loud ...

Dammit finbar, my wife was making bedroom eyes to me this morning. She even gave me a hug and said she couldn't wake me last night. AND YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT FOR YOU UNTIL 9.30???? "ISH"!!!!

Oh! And if I'd realised that city was called French Bean I wouldn't have attacked it. We have plenty of those. Can we be friends now?

Thanks guys my ego is fired up now. I never really thought of not playing , just annoyed at myself , I love this game its great and you guys have been so helpfull.

ps MING sorry for the post last night I must control myself when I get frustrated

May 20, 2000, 00:11

The Horse empire falls behind on the powergraph as we continue our steady expansion. Our peaceloving nature has prevailed over our better judgement and we have made peace with the evil Costello empire. They do not act as friends towards us

May 20, 2000, 06:58

The Greek empire continues its growth despite suffering from terible leadership . Already HYDEY THOR mighty Greek god of thunderous farts has had to change his earthbound leaders 3 times , starting with Hydey the weak who was replaced by Hydey the wanker king who was recently replaced with Hydey the loser. HYDEY THOR hopes that this new leader can lead the Greek people to the greatness they and there allies the Deitians are destined to.

finbar · May 20, 2000, 23:51

P. Costello and his fellow ****holes cannot imagine why the Horse empire should expect friendship. The Horse empire did, after all, launch an unprovoked attack. Presumably the Horse empire thinks the current generation has nothing to apologise for in terms of the actions and deeds of its earlier generations.

Presumably.

May 21, 2000, 20:35

The Horse empire has almost completed the colonisation of its vast continent. The evil Chinese attack us for no reason and invite others to join them. Cheeky. The GL serves us well in supplementing our scientific advance in spite of the efforts of other civs to frustrate this. We maintain the largest army in the game. Our population grows rapidly.

May 22, 2000, 07:01

Hydey THOR Greek God of thunderous farts had to once again replace the greek leader as Hydey the Loser was forced to retire hurt. Very hurt indeed after the savageing he recieved from Horse for not using esp to comunicate to Horse that his ISP had given him the flick. New Greek leader HYDEY THE HORSE EATER continued the steady progress of the greek people with new cities formed and mighty armies formed

May 23, 2000, 04:00

You guys going to turn up tonight? I'll be around after 9pm

finbar · May 23, 2000, 06:55

8.55pm.

THE DEITIANS continue to grow modestly, ie if God can say such a thing

A thriving trade with our munificant allies of the 'yo ho ho hydey-ho alliance' is yielding much dividends. And the mighty hi ho Greeks are proving to be mighty and reliable friends - we shall forge a power so great that woe betide any who should dare to stand in it's path. War mongering civs will be CRUSHED.
Peace loving civs, well, it may take a little longer

The Aztec government is concerned about the aggressive rhetoric spouted by the Deiticians. Talk of crushing all opponents even peaceful ones can only leave the civlised nations of planet Aus. looking fearfully over their shoulders.

The Horse empire groans under the weight of its city numbers but finds time to build Copernicus and the explore new governments such as "republic" and "democracy". The Dear Leader doesn't like these governments but the people seem to and are breeding furiously.

finbar · May 23, 2000, 23:53

I might not make it tonight, chaps. Certainly not before 10pm anyway.
