But not what you think

We have most of her family coming in... and it would have been tough sitting here playing civ while everybody else cleaned... Even staying up late last night, I'm still cleaning today. But once they get here, no more cleaning

rah · July 3, 2002, 13:46

Does that mean once they get there you can play.
Or is it *crack*

ah ok Ming.....i am always willing to play late with you lads....just message me when your ready to go...still not sure if i am going out for dinner but right now it doesn't look like it

Flatlander Fox · July 3, 2002, 16:32

I'll be around late now too... I must go out to dinner with Mrs. Fox before she'll release me for Civ.

Damn, just got home and everyone is going to dinner

Ming · July 3, 2002, 20:37

I'm still waiting for the inlaws to invade.

And you're going to love this Rah... HER DEAD GRANDMOTHER is coming to... no kidding...

rah · July 3, 2002, 20:39

I hope that means,
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Otherwise that family is even stranger than I thought, and that's really strange.

RAH

Ming · July 3, 2002, 20:45

No... not the ashes...

They are shipping the body in on Saturday so it can be buried next to her daughter. Ironically, it's the same graveyard as Nonna was buried in.

Fortunately, she said she and Marko would handle it.

War4ever · July 3, 2002, 21:19

creepy.....oh well i hope one of you is around later....or for that matter i get out of having to look at cars after dinner......

this is going from bad to worse

rah · July 3, 2002, 22:05

I'm here, I thought you were at dinner.? What time do you think you'll be available?

War4ever · July 3, 2002, 23:53

Alexander's Horse · July 4, 2002, 00:06

Screenshot please.

War4ever · July 4, 2002, 00:43

Alexander's Horse · July 4, 2002, 00:45

When you guys play, post a screenshot. We do.

War4ever · July 4, 2002, 01:49

ok...i shall see what we can do , don't know if i have the utilities for it though

Ming · July 4, 2002, 04:34

Thanks for the game guys... it figures that the one we would end up playing was my worst starting position.
It was fun watching you guys have both your cities down before I even found anything worth building on.

At least I caught up...

Hydey · July 4, 2002, 04:49

Is it just me or does Ming always claim the worst starting position.

Damn right... but in this case, it was actually true

Caharin · July 4, 2002, 17:57

Hey guys, would anyone be interested in playing a game tomorrow night, Friday night? My ICQ: 15688707

I'm probably not the greatest player in the world, but I don't suck...and I'll finish any game I start. ICQ me if you're interested in playing Friday night.

Thanks!

PS: my ICQ name is "Castejon"

rah · July 4, 2002, 18:38

Anybody up for a possible game late tonight. (after the fireworks and necessary socializing) Probably in the 10:30 central time range. Maybe a little later.

RAH

Ming · July 4, 2002, 18:47

ME ME ME ME... with any kind of luck. I'll see you tonight at the fireworks

War4ever · July 4, 2002, 19:22

i am up for a later game tonite...lol

and remember lads...it was only close b/c i gave up two great starts to play a fair one

but Ming you did play your land right and Rah....what happened to you bro

my actual land was awesome....too many silks , like thats a problem...but every direction from my capital was down an isthmus

oh well i ended with 20 cities and didn't have any wonders other than colosus..but i did get philo and we all had monarchy at the same time...

Ming you must have built on gold

Ming · July 4, 2002, 19:42

I didn't build on the gold until one turn away from monarchy... that's what got it for me at the same time as you guys. I started on full screen of plains and ocean... wandered north for the pattern... and while it was a dead end, I found silk on a river after you guys had already placed your two cities down. I then bailed on a river dot next to some forests for the second city.

The only thing that saved me was I didn't get any techs from huts early, and got a free city on a river near a buffalo early... otherwise I was toast. Not that I'm in such great shape now. I'm getting killed on the techs.

While Rah was behind on the powergraph, he had leo's and was probably heading to musketts

deity · July 4, 2002, 20:00

You know, your group and the Aussie group really should set up a big game (not tribal)
I'd even go 2x1x if it got the game going but at least 6 players please:
Rah, Ming, War, AH, deity, Hydey and finbar if available?
