My first MP game....

March 15, 2001, 06:02

He He

Still going in e-mail form between me and kingar!

I've really won it but enjoying wiping out the rest of the world so that my good ally, Kingar, can build the Alliances SS

Being my first MP game, basically played around Sept 1999, I didn't know about WLTPD wholesaling or incremental rush buying or any of the tricks I've since learned from you lot! Bah! Who needs them???

Here's the pg in AD920.

Yeah, this thread could have been titled "my first set of crayons".

It's also interesting to observe that, before posting this graphic, Deity waited till Makeo was hidden under a frozen moose carcass in the back of a pick-up truck smuggling himself into Canada.

As long as Deity doesn't start talking to me again on icq about Katrina Lee's tits I don't care what he does.

Turns out Deity once worked at Channel 10 as the equivalent of the chain smoking edit booth guy in Frontline. If you listen to him, Katrina practically tied her tits in a knot around Deity's neck in edit room trysts. The rest doesn't bear re-telling

May explain the tremor in his penmanship though.

Most interesting power graph that I've ever seen.

I first saw it at work earlier amd I broke out laughing so hard that people were starting to wonder.

Thanks, I really needed the laugh today.

You'd have to understand the context, Horse. Katrina is married to Harry Potter, veteran Channel 10 police roundsman. Harry was past his use-by-date before he exited the womb. Harry fancies himself as Walter Cronkite. Close your eyes when Harry is reporting and you'd think you were listening to an "Untouchables" voice-over.

So, all in all, in context, Deity's neck probably looked like an attractive hitching post.

SmartFart, you would be required to sign a waiver to the effect that Deity was allowed to sketch your likeness on a Powergraph graphic.

Merely co-incidental!

Is he really under a carcass? Good spot for that Aztec elite leader

Interestingly, even though Makeo's Aztecs were wiped out quite a few turns ago, it was only with this recent e-mail turn that the Aztecs pg finally bottomed out, I think....

We've tried before. The time zones make it pretty much impossible. When we lose daylight saving - which is pretty soon - we'll be about 9 hours ahead of SmartFart and between 15 and 18 hours ahead of the Americans/Canadians. You can deduct an hour when they all go onto daylight saving. As we discovered in one of the tournament games, it means someone in one of the time zones playing at 2 or 3 am.

Yes, I'd rather be pestering my wife.

I don't think you'd like to play with us. We're very clannish. We also have lots of weird customs - like you're not allowed to attack Hydey or finbar, because Hydey is "new" and finbar doesn't like war. Also Deity has a spotless reputation but he starts all the wars. Go figure. But you're not allowed to do anything to besmirch his "spotless" rep on king chat, etc. etc.

You can do anything you like to makeo, but he's not playing at the moment and so forth.

Every other Power graph that has been posted here has been so serious, I guess I was expecting another similar type. I actually blew a little Dr. Pepper through my nose.

RAH
Yes, I saw the smile, but I need the posts.

March 16, 2001, 01:27

RAH, its not the first time he's done it. Go and have a look on the "another happy evening" threads (part I, I think).

I cacked myself too.

We all have our "Civ thing"....

Mine is to be a peaceful builder of great DEITIAN nations; maintaining an impeccable, some say spotless, reputation. War is so... ugly... really.

What's your "Civ thing" AH?
Smashing the crap out of new kids on the block? LOL

If you want to make it 4am or 5am you might have a deal. That would fit in nicely with our usual evening slot. Any earlier than that and we're having dinner and mixing with our spouses/partners before we disappear off into the world of Civ. Actually, weekends have proved to be the most successful times for our time zones to mingle.
