Formal challenge

Eyes_Of_Night · May 23, 2001, 01:05

Strategicking I hereby challenge you to a 3 on 3, settings to be discussed. It is apparent to me, as well as others, that you are in serious need of a beat down. I feel it is only right that myself, Markus, and Nappy will be the ones to administer this beat down. We of course give you one last chance to back out with the terms of your admission as follows:

1) You publicly admit that you are my *****.
2) You offer your first born daughter to Markus. (He likes that sort of thing)
3) You give up your miserable little life you now lead and join the nearest temple dedicated to me where you will serve as my servant for the rest of your days.
4) Nappy requests that you return his wife's "toy".

Alexander's Horse · May 23, 2001, 01:34

Challenge who?

Talking to yourself again weirdo?

SlowwHand · May 23, 2001, 02:07

Now he has this quasi hero worship with markusf.
Still mouths at him, but duel personalities involved.

Rasputin · May 23, 2001, 06:24

I getting lost as to who is who anymore !!!!

drake · May 23, 2001, 08:48

It first I thought it funny how pathetic eyes was but now its just sad

StrategicKing2 · May 23, 2001, 10:39

Fine with me. I will start finding players that are worthy of playing with the best. The 8 time game League Champion.
Your the one who needs to come down off thier high horse.
More apolyton arrogance, get out of your sad, strategy deficent little insignificant world.

Ming · May 23, 2001, 11:21

Hmmmm... now only if I could make a phone call to Vegas and place a bet on this one

This should be fun... Two people with big egos and major league attitudes fighting it out. I'll place my money on the Eye's squad.

Please let us all know how it comes out... assuming StrategicKing2 actually plays

SlowwHand · May 23, 2001, 11:33

Their strong suit is talking.
Either will talk you flat to death.

rah · May 23, 2001, 12:06

Can't wait for the settings discussion.

And if I hear "8 time champion" one more time, I'm going to puke.

As much as I'd hate to cheer for eyes, I guess I'd have to here.

RAH
If he is an eyes DL, i'd find it very amusing.
Entertainment is sometimes hard to come by.

SlowwHand · May 23, 2001, 15:03

Why, Rah?
If the Ku Klux Klan is in a fire fight with , I don't know,...mafia, would you feel compelled to cheer one?

rah · May 23, 2001, 16:06

Yes, I'm Italian so that one would be easy.

GO MAFIA.

And please don't get me wrong, I think you're a very very good player. (almost as good as you think you are) I have never said you weren't.

And while I sometimes find you to be obnoxious and a braggart, you're our obnoxious braggart. So yes I would root for you.
(and Markus and Nappy of course)

And like before, I'd probably be willing to put money on the outcome. But I do want to hear the setting discussion first.

RAH

Eyes_Of_Night · May 23, 2001, 18:58

WOW! 8 time league champion? Incredible. Although I think you're more like the 8 day champion since every time you hit number 1 the next day you're down around 10. How about this. When you go well over a year at number 1 without falling out of the number 1 spot and when you break the 3000 point barrier, then why don't you come talk to me? Until then, I stil hold every record for league and you will always be nothing to me.

Now, lets discuss settings. I propose 2x1x, Medium map, Premade by cavebear with huts of course enabled, King, Villages only, No city bribe, No Tech stealing. If you insist on allowing tech stealing then I will have to insist on city bribe. Trust me, you'll want to play it my way since between the 3 of us we'll be making in upwards of 15,000 gold a turn by 1000BC. So, tell me what date you can play and we'll send you on your way to the next world.

Hydey · May 23, 2001, 19:15

This game will never happen as neither will accept the others ego driven rules.

If you think you are the best then perhaps you all should allow an impartial 3rd party to set the rules and settings. I suggest Ming

Eyes_Of_Night · May 23, 2001, 19:21

Ego driven? These are settings that Nappy requested as well. Try to make an intelligent post for once, I know you have it in you. I know it's hard, but I'm also taking into account that you're Austrailian so just try to do your best.

SlowwHand · May 23, 2001, 19:23

I would second that.
A man with more honor than Ming doesn't exist.

ROTFLMAO... HA HA HA HA

Stop it... you're killing me. I'm laughing so hard it hurts

But back on topic... Unless they both agree on the settings, whoever losses will blame it on the settings.
So keep at it until both teams agree on the same settings.
Hmmm... this could be a 1000 post thread soon

Nap Bonaparte · May 23, 2001, 22:51

I will accept ANY and ALL settings except 2x movement. I entrust Eyes to negotiate all game settings for me with Strat. If they can not reach agreement I suggest having a 3rd party such as Cavebear or Ming establish the rules( or take a poll of Apolyton readership). As far as playing times, I can be available Sat. afternoon or evening and also Mon. afternoon or evening.

Same accept i can't play before 6 pst on monday

StrategicKing2 · May 24, 2001, 01:22

Great.. I hope you make 15000 gold a turn between the three of you.. Be neat to see.. It will be decided well before you get an opurtunity to even execute a super trade strategy. By the way, i have worked extensively on a super trade strategy and what makes you think this is exclusive to you? More arrogance on your and markus's side.
Ming already put his bet down in Vegas on eyes, they went off as a heavy favorite because you apoloyton wannabies just close your eyes to the rest of the civ world.
By the by...Did i mention that I am 8 Time Game league Champion?(hearing rah scream a beuitifull sound indeed.)
And its not Stratategicking2 its just stra-teg-ic-king the 2 was only cause every time you cahange the forums I cant retrieve my stupid password and have to reregister and i lose my neat prince title for spending endless hours of self promotion and wannabie insulting.
I am working hard for my votes people, only 3 behind! A few more of these posts and i might catch that fat headed ego maniac eyes!

GNGSpam · May 24, 2001, 01:30

This whole thread makes me want to vomit

Rasputin · May 24, 2001, 01:36

hope you guys save the turn files for this game and make them avaialable for us wannabies to learn from

bravelaker1000 · May 24, 2001, 02:36

yeah i second that ras i would love to see the save files on that game

Well done Eyes, resort to racism.

I only suggested using a 3rd party as a way of speeding things up . If you prefer to argue about the settings and risk this game not going ahead ,so be it.

I hope the game does go ahead and would like to wish you the best of luck although I hope luck has nothing to do with the result and that the most skilled players come out on top.

I too would like the chance to learn from such a group of civ masters, so please make game saves available for us lesser players sake.

Uhhhh... if you want, I can PM you your old password so you can use that log on. Moderators here do have some value

Just let me know... and if you do, I will wait to see you post with your log on, and then delete this temporary one.

Now agree on those settings

rah · May 24, 2001, 08:25

AARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

RAH

bravelaker1000 · May 24, 2001, 10:21

This suggests that someone actually cares about this bout between these children

SuperSneak · May 24, 2001, 11:12

Are these guys for real? What is going on here? I thought Eyes was a mealy-mouthed little so and so who doctored files or something?
And now you're all rallying around him?
Is he our Gladiatior, or something?
Personally, I'd prefer a story more akin to David and Goliath, with our representative being a humble, self effacing type, but I guess we have to go with what we've got, eh?
So its commonly recognized that Eyes is the best Apolyton has to offer?!? Hmmm...wasn't aware of that.
Well, it sure isn't me, so good luck Poly proxy.

But if either of you little freaks wants to have a go in a slap fight, you know where to find me.
I'll give you 2 to each of my one.

Ming · May 24, 2001, 11:37

In the last US presidential election, we had such "wonderful" candidates that many people I talked to voted against somebody vs. voting for somebody!

Go Eyes

Well, heck. I fit these parameters in more ways than are even readily apparent.
