More adventures at the Zone

Alexander's Horse · March 30, 2002, 20:58

Played there last night with someone called Nev21. Took me 4 hours to find his civ - 2 settlers. I think he left after 5 minutes but his civ kept going

Makeo · March 30, 2002, 22:07

haha

Hydey · March 30, 2002, 22:17

King chat must have been good.

oedo · March 30, 2002, 22:28

I wonder how he had done this without the AI taking over his civ. maybe he left the game open and did nothing but pressing space/space/enter each turn.
some people have stange hobbies.

Flatlander Fox · March 30, 2002, 22:34

That guy used to be in the zone 24/7.

Played him a few times, but he made a better showing then that...

markusf · March 30, 2002, 22:56

What was your first clue, the fact he never talked, or the fact that the timer would run out every turn?

rah · March 30, 2002, 23:04

My thoughts exactly. Or were you so busy checking porn sites that you had no time to chat.

RAH

wow.....HOW drunk were you?

Alexander's Horse · March 31, 2002, 08:00

Oddly enough I think he might have been "playing". He didn't build any cities and I thought he was doing that huts thing where you don't build a city. His "turns" were of variable length but he never used KC and called himself Empress of Death or some other idiotic thing. I think he might be a head case, seeing how long he could hide.

DrFell · March 31, 2002, 09:39

Come to the zone and play l3ood_Oath anytime for an ass kicking

On the subject of Nev he is a bit slow, he's got a pretty poor connection and from Australia too... but he's not that bad a player.

oedo · March 31, 2002, 11:35

now that´s the reason. AH wasn´t just patient enough!

Alexander's Horse · March 31, 2002, 20:41

I actually played it for 4 hours - I knew he was probably long gone but I was determined to find his settlers and destroy them - it was on a huge archipelagic world. In the end I must have had over 50 cav units and 15 or more boats scouring the planet

Talk about being bored...

New ad slogan:

Hours? Horse usually only plays withh himself for 30 seconds.

I was having a nice game tonight with a young Canadian girl named Julie - until Hydey joined and started talking about visiting porn sites

Hydey · April 2, 2002, 08:51

Yes julie was very nice , very very nice

War4ever · April 3, 2002, 21:32

keep your hands off of our canadian girls.... do i have to defend my countries honor again

vlad · April 4, 2002, 19:09

Hey hey now you guys be nice to Julia she is a personal friend of mine and now that I am Canadian I need to keep her away from you Aussie badboys

On the subject of Nev21, he did that to me once in a game, seems he wasn't there and did nothing,but somehow never disconnected. He had a few cities,when we all had like 20. To much beer there or something. Does anyone ever play on the zone anymore?

Alexander's Horse · April 4, 2002, 19:52

Ya - I thought Julia might be the girlfriend of someone here - she said she was mainly a ToT player.

Either that or Markusf in drag.

War4ever · April 4, 2002, 19:58

*snicker*

Julia · April 4, 2002, 22:52

Hey Hey

What a small world, eh? I feel so famous now.

Vlad, you're my hero!

Anyways... I just stopped by to listen in.

Ciao!

Julia

vlad · April 5, 2002, 00:51

Yes, I thought he was some kind of dingbat - thanks for comfirmation - I destroyed his settlers anyway.

Julia, Hi, I knew there'd be an Apolyton connection somewhere.

Julia · April 5, 2002, 07:18

Where's the "eh" vlad?

No Apolyton connection here, until vlad told me I was talked about. I was curious....

Julia

Alexander's Horse · April 5, 2002, 07:31

Well that's an Apolyton connection isn't it?

Hydey · April 5, 2002, 07:34

hey Horse did you get a photo from Julia yet ?

Alexander's Horse · April 5, 2002, 12:16

Yes I did.

vlad · April 5, 2002, 13:38

Wow Julia sure has aged since I saw her last

Sorry Julia, EH EH EH, so hard to learn a new language

If You drooling Aussies only knew what a hottie you were playing with

. If all women who played civ looked like Julia we men would never leave our computers

Perhaps some night we can set up a Canada vs. Australia game of civ with Julia,War and I for Canada. Losers have to post a pic of themselves in a dress

Alexander's Horse · April 5, 2002, 18:43

Er Vlad, her icq says she's 77 and she said it was okay if I told people.

As for "hottie", I'm not really attracted to older women but she seems quite well preserved for her age.

vlad · April 5, 2002, 18:56

Cmon now AH since when has a horse been concerned with a human's age?

I once told her she was awesome looking for an 80 year old, perhaps she has some youth secret to make her 77 now.

So when have you guys been hanging out on the zone? how much of a time change are you from pacific US time?
