Kropotkin · May 27, 2002, 18:38

I'm not a spammer, it was just a joke you know

shade · May 27, 2002, 18:46

I know...don't worry .

We welcome all living creatures(even enslaved egyptians

) into our little empire.

(PS you're right about the postcount, if you get involved a little it tends to go as a rocket...and we haven't invented rocketry yet

Civman200,

Yes I have played Civ.2 and I love the game and wish I had it. I do know that it is possible to make alliances with other civilizations and that is what I recomend doing as part of our foriegn and military relations. We should not be like the Romans: Emperialistic, power hungry, and a bloodthirsty people. ( I'm speaking about the real Romans not the Civ2 Romans) let's focus on technolgy and improving the health, annual income, literacy, and life expectancy of our people instead of conquering the other civilizations.

wich is best achieved by destroying the AI civs...

(and I'm sorry if this destroys your bubble but I have the impression the MGE AI will only forge alliances against us...the highest hope we can have is a peace-treaty...or we have to become the weakest civ of the game...then maybe)

civman2000 · May 27, 2002, 19:03

you wish you had it? DOes that mean you've just played a few times? In any case, even if it might have been possible if we were nice to everyone from the beginning, it is absolutely impossible now unless we're willing to give our entire treasury away for 50 turns as well as any tech lead we have over everyone else.

H Tower · May 27, 2002, 19:12

The dialectic demands that we smash all who oppose us. It has been fortold that we will win. History is on our side!

Kropotkin · May 27, 2002, 19:16

War is Peace!
Freedom is slavery!
Ignorance is strengh!

Xenozod · May 27, 2002, 22:00

I guess I'm in. It seems like a really neat idea, and can be a lot of fun.

Bigcash · May 27, 2002, 22:33

Aw, nuts. I was hoping I could just play it on my own and see how it was.
But the our world thread is pretty interesting

MrWhereItsAt · May 28, 2002, 02:38

Sorry BigCash - no can do. This IS a Democratically run game, after all. Maybe at the end of the game we'll try to make some of the saves available for all, but honestly I never thought this far ahead.

Welcome Xenozod, Kropotkin, BigCash. If you're lookin' for PC increases, Kroptokin, you found the right place. I was new here in Nov last year. Now I'm VP and have my own nifty avatar!

Kropotkin · May 28, 2002, 03:27

On no, it was really a joke. As a emperor PC is not an issue anymore. After all, Deity is faaaar away.

Gen. Hancock · May 28, 2002, 06:54

ok then in that case destroy all their cities but one, except the Egyptians and them just completely wast them, nobody cares about them anyway. I just know that when you destroy all the other civilizations the game is over and you want to keep the game going right?

Kropotkin · May 28, 2002, 07:22

Considering that the game is in deity-mode I hardly think that'll be a real problem. At the current that would still involve a long game with possibly huge causalites.

Besides, if the game ends we could start another. Considering the number of members here that wouldn't be a problem.

We seem to get a membership spike every time MarkG posts the monthly update. This time was especially good, since it posted just as elections were cranking up.

Yup. I was checking out the Apolyton Civ2 section for scenarios when I saw the Democracy thing and figgered it would be cool.

I have every turn of the sessions I have played saved, and should certainly hope that the past Presidents also do. It is an interesting idea to have them all collected at the end for anyone who wants to see how the game progressed!

And I welcome all the new Citizens of our (currently Communistic) government to the experience of the "Democracy game". The "Democracy" part is how we choose our leaders, not the government style we use at any given time.

Space05us · May 28, 2002, 15:59

Im in. just don't expect me to be very into it I have other stuff that I have to do too

. I guess I'll represent those normal people who vote when they have time....

MrWhereItsAt · May 29, 2002, 05:49

"Normal people", Space05us? What is this ethnicity?

We have none of them here.

tomcat ha · May 29, 2002, 10:09

I had them at one time, but have since cleaned out my civ directory twice. I still have the 4000bc start spot, tho.
