Being the third birthday and all, thought I would drop in quickly to say a quick hello to all from my old mp days, noticed a good few of you are still around.
Hows it going everybody?

its been a LONG time! You back to playing?

Graag · August 12, 2001, 23:41

Sadly not, I'm travelling australia at the moment, I've been working in Sydney for the past 6 months or so. I just started a new job, with an net connection at work, thought I would drop by to see whats up. I would dearly dearly love just one epic game, but I lack all and any computing facilities. Just try to hold me back when I get back to england though.

What is the civ2 mp scene like these days? Much action?

markusf · August 12, 2001, 23:52

its dieing. Although there are a LOT of german players on the german civ2 site. Seems the game is really taking off in europe and more and more people get connected to the net. Thier chat room is like what the zone was a few months back. everyone is waiting for the october release of civ3.... And me for the Moo3 release as well

Damm Graag....its been awhile...... long time no chat...things have changed since you have been around.... strats are much eviler

BTW civ3 comes out very soon......we hope

hope you get back the civ bug whenever you return to England or in Aussie land if at all possible...

did you hook up with any of the aussies ?

Take care

Guess I had expected that the scene would shrink during my prolonged abscense, shame really, but I can hardly complain being that I no longer play. I am well aware that civ3 is on its way, I got the email notice and ran to civ3.com as did the rest of you. I won't be there at the start as I'll be travelling somewhere in Oz or NZ by then, but try and stop me goddamn it when I am back in front of my own humble Pentium 166.
Hows things btw, Marcus?

Long time War, hows it going? Still civving yourself? Know I could still kick that cute little ass of yours around

War4ever · August 13, 2001, 00:32

i will give you a fighting chance when civ3 comes out.... but you will again call me master

how is the sight seeing going.... having a blast i hope....things have changed alot for me since you left.... i left for awhile too.... but hey lets chat about all that when you get back or if you get icq from aussie land....30200920 ciao buddy

Graag · August 13, 2001, 00:51

Doesn't look like I will be able to do any ICQing neither. Sigh. Haven't actually seen all that much of Oz yet, been working mostly. Seen pretty much everything to see in Sydney.
Speaking of which, what happened to all the multiplaying aussie's I used to chase around?
Looks like you guys will get a big head start on me with civ3 too, I won't be back in england until febuart/march by the looks of things. This time next year, old friend, we shall see who will call who master. You can wear the leather like usual though.

War4ever · August 13, 2001, 00:55

i will come wearing leather....only if you come in your usual lipstick and lace

are you traveling with a little lady of your dreams still/too....i thought your girlfriend was traveling with you...not sure if i remember correctly

Graag · August 13, 2001, 01:30

Yes, we are still travelling together. Interesting timing actually - we are going through our first 'rough patch' as we speak. We've been together a year or so now, and the past 7 months we've been sharing the same 4ft. by 4ft. bedroom. The pressure of living in such close quaters is getting us both stressed. She is still indeed the lady of my dreams, but things are difficult at the moment. More sighing.

Berzerker · August 13, 2001, 01:51

Hi Graag, thought you might have taken one too many trips on the 'ol LSD or sped your way to an early heart attack

Glad to see you are still kicking around

Graag · August 13, 2001, 02:10

Yourself also old boy. Speaking of which, I was just about to comment in the drug topic in OT. Just like the old days, eh?

finbar · August 13, 2001, 02:44

Hey Graag! Whereabouts in Sydney are you, my son? If you're hungry one night, come over for a feed. Contact me via PM or email, my boy.

Berzerker · August 13, 2001, 04:00

Well, I'll have to mosey on over to the OT to add my 2 cents

oedo · August 13, 2001, 11:11

Hi graag, I thought I recommend you some new music. do you know the album 604 by Ladytron? it´s simply awesome music.

finbar · August 13, 2001, 22:11

Graag - Got your PM asking whether I'd sent a PM. I did. This morning. I tried to reply to your PM but got a flood control activation. Said I couldn't send two messages within 90 seconds. And I hadn't even sent one!

I'll try again later. Or send you an email.
