Ha ha, theres 3 of us now!!!!!!! Wow, we should have a tea party or something!!!

Well, i guess as we're all here we could talk civ? what do you think? shall we? ok, then i'll start us off!!
I started my first game in about a month last, it's occ11, but it's not going very well, i'm off to such a slow start i'm probably going to land in about 2000ad again?!?! Doh!!!!!
So have you guys played much recently?

SCG · July 5, 2000, 09:19

only 3? what about my post on the other topic in this forum a little while ago?

As for actual games, I tried a small world map and tried to use alliances and such - kind of goes completely against my agressive, isolationist strategies - can't say I have the hang of when to demand tribute and when to trade techs/etc. yet

Ming · July 5, 2000, 09:24

I still play a ton of MP games... Deity, Raging Hordes, 2x production, very small worlds, no bribe cities... and it is still keeping me amused.

When no one is around, I do some of the challanges

Oldman · July 5, 2000, 09:53

Sorry SCG, 4 of us!!! it's hardly exciting though is it? Oh, there is Prometeus here too, so 5?!?! i remember when i was a young, pre 100 posts, there used to be a constant stream of people putting forth their opinions, not all of them good mind you, but those were the days...

SCG · July 5, 2000, 10:22

heh, well until i make it through all the old postings, there really is a constant stream to read

Well, unless Ming archives the stuff before I read it all

I'm down to mid-march, 2000 in the strategy forum and if i ever get through that I may start reading back logs of this forum. Have to admit I'm finding duplicate threads back a couple months, which is why i haven't bumped up any of the older threads recently like when I first started posting. Anyway, out of curiosity, is there any way to see exactly how many posts one has? I'm looking forward to consolidating my control among surrounding tribes and becoming a warlord (maybe by november?)

Scouse Gits · July 5, 2000, 10:36

Make that 5 - can't a guy slope off for a cup of coffee these days...

SCG... just click on the "profile" button that appears on the top line of any post you make. It will show your profile, and the number of posts you have.

Hasdrubal · July 5, 2000, 11:03

I'm here. That makes it six.

I've devoted some time on ToT recently. After initially being disappointed by it, I must now admit that it has grown on me. I'm still not much into those multiple maps, but the extended original game is good fun! Plus, I do fancy the graphics a lot. I'm using its 'normal game' setting to play standard Civ II games, replacing my civ 2.78. It's kind of like an expensive modpack. I don't think that it is very popular with most hardcore civ-fans, but with it now being available as a budget release, I would recommend that you give this game a try. There just is a certain appeal to seeing your foe's ships actually sink after you've torpedoed them.

Hey Scouse, I didn't see you raise your hand and ask if you could have a cup of coffee? and i certainly don't remember you asking if i wanted one? Hmm?????

I can't beleive i turn around for 2 minutes and like 5 posts pop up at once?!?! argh!!!!! It's just typical too ain't it, just as it's knocking off time here you guys start coming out of the woodwork?!?!

Oldman · July 5, 2000, 11:05

Argh!!!!!! another one, while i'm posting my last post??!?!?!!? Welcome Hasdrubal, how are you doing? what are you up to? play much Civ do you?

Smash · July 5, 2000, 11:57

We're here.Playing the Combat Mission demo

Oldman · July 7, 2000, 04:56

Once again there is no body here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm like, the only one to post today!??! what's the deal, where has everyone gone? is there some bug going around the apolyton community? is it contagious do you think?

Maybe i'm the only one left alive...

Oldman · July 7, 2000, 06:00

Alright you guys, i'm off to lunch now!!! i'll be gone about an hour and a half, so i'll catch you all then, alright?

Look at the time. 04:56 AM !! It's the middle of the night in the America's, they're not up yet. It's afternoon in Europe, most people are at work or at school. In Oceania, they are already going to bed again.

Ming, do you have any other games besides CIV II? Don't you EVER burnout on this game??? There comes a point when I just need something new.

Oldman · July 7, 2000, 10:42

Hasdrubal, i thought the world was becoming a 24hr society? ok, we need to sleep sometimes, but there is no excuse for not doing it (sleeping i mean, well the other too, if your that addicted to apolyton!!!!) at your PC, so when you get a message you can wake up and bloody well reply!!!!!

Ming · July 7, 2000, 14:12

Sleep? what's that

MWHC... I've tried other games. I have a whole shelf full of them. I play them, beat them, put them away. Civ is still the only game I keep coming back to!

Mind sending a few of the those older games to those of us (read: ME!) less fortunate?

*Comrade Dan brings out a table, several deck chairs, a toaster, some spreads, a tea set with tea, and several packs of crumpets*

The game I'm playing at the moment is really annoying...

*sips tea*

...my population is unhappy, and I don't have the cash to keep the people happy. So my democratic government falls, every one of my 100 cities falls into disorder, and those with nuclear power plants blow up. Not only that...

*bites into crumpet*

...the Spanish cancelled the alliance, the Persians are marching down the continent and the support costs have increased, disbanding the troops on the frontier. If I can get out of this, I'll be the best leader since...me.

So, milk? Sugar?

East Street Trader · July 9, 2000, 14:06

Milk, no sugar. Thanks.

So, did you?

Also, how do you stop the butter running down your chin?

finbar · July 9, 2000, 20:37

Simple. Don't have a chin. Ever seen a member of the British Royal Family with butter running down a chin? Nuh. Straight to the shirtfront.

Oi, less of the wise-cracks about the royal familly!! I happen to think they're are a darn fine familly of inbred numb-skulls, albiet without chins, but they're ours!!!! so there!!!

Comrade Dan, you need to practice what you preach!!!!!!!! Comrade Dan, does Communism ring any bells?!?!?!

And are you still offering to make tea? just got here and it'd be an absolute godsend!! somebody forgot to buy new milk here, so we have "condensed milk" Nice!

SCG · July 10, 2000, 06:46

I think I'll pass on the tea. never really liked the stuff for some reason (and I don't think its because of all my New England relatives either

) A nice cold glass of chocolate milk would be nice, though, so i can still get my milk and sugar

Carolus Rex · July 10, 2000, 09:08

I'm here and it's a mighty rainy afternoon...

So pour me a real oldfashioned British cup o' tea, will ya'?

No milk, no cream, just sugar and a slice of lemon on the side!

I say, lads! Anyone for cricket?

Carolus

Oldman · July 10, 2000, 09:14

In this Weather? It's bleedin' chuckin' it down!!!!! sod the tea, anyone for a beer?

Oldman · July 10, 2000, 11:01

Once again a thoroughly slow day here on the Civ2 boards!!!!!!! I have to say that i'm very nearly, almost there, on the edge, right on the verge, practically, just about, almost thinking about defecting to the Off Topic Forum, just to get some action!!!!! Where has everyone gone? Have we lost an entire countries servers or something?? Surely you all must still be out there? Anybody... Please? Somebody...

Comrade Dan · July 10, 2000, 20:45

The only reason I'm still Chancellor Dan rather than Comrade Chairman Dan is because it's a better challenge...

And the trick is not to put too much butter on the crumpet...
