Another Happy Evening of Multiplaying Part III

March 12, 2001, 02:17

Well I'm happy anyway. I've got big wars going in several games and I'm winning in almost all of them

Unfortunately they are all against my son Hydey, except one, which is against Deity. I probably won't win that one

Finbar and I concluded our game tonight. Another game finished (tick).

Who won ??????????

finbar · March 13, 2001, 08:12

I conceded. He was in Fundy, he'd bought up most of the AI civs, he had a small army sitting around doing nothing, I was at least 10 turns away from Fundy, it seemed pointless continuing.

The reason I ask is you called the force I threw at you "massive". I didn't think it was, certainly not compared to what I'm going to throw at Hydey

No, a sportiing thing is what Makeo does - which is to say, skiing.

I would like to thank Deity for all the techs I nicked off him tonight

np

Yes, civ has many great equalising elements where a puny civ like AH's Horses can actually learn new sciences for free!

Let's see what he can do with such techs though

This simul war is interesting but stupid really. It's just not my preference, even when I'm doing well. But let's play it out. As finbar says, we haven't fully tested it out yet.
He seems quite happy for you and I to do all the testing while he builds every Wonder under the Sun and trades through the roof with my civ!!
Hmmmmm.....
And Hydey has a big army now and surely we are not all ganging up on poor old spotless Deity in this no alliance game

No finbar and I are ganging up on Horse, we know we can beat you

March 16, 2001, 21:24

Well, I might have to help him then!

Since we are testing out simul war why don't finbar and Hydey go to war

Must be boring waiting for AH's one hour turns!

How boring just building wonders and trading and getting lotsa techs at a fast rate...... hmmmm, have to talk to finbar about that

Ah yes ... the Onion Isle game springs to mind. You wanted territory and techs, as I recall.

I hope to be back on deck tonight. A rather pressing deadline problem - resulting in not a lot of sleep in the last 72 hours - has kept me from mingling with and sharing bonhomie with my respected - nay, beloved - chums.

After last night when Deity and horse would not play me (scared) I am not turning up tonight, perhaps come thursday evening you may be willing to play.

Ya know Hydey, if you want to play you could send us a message saying something like, oh I don't know, "are we playing tonight?" I found it a bit odd you never did.

What? You never asked me at all. If you had, I would have told you I was available to play. But I was working on something for my wife whilst I was waiting for a game to get organised and got cracking on that. The next time I looked at the clock it was 11 pm.
