Makeo and Hydey along with Caveabear can confirm this.
You are just a sore loser; unlike me in the current game. In fact I'm winning, in the broadest sense of the word

For christ sake diety, you reposted the tourny rules in the damn game thread the session before which said no unit gifting. The next session you go and gift units. All you have to do is read the thread, its in black and white END OF STORY. Cavebear was in a horrible position to be put in, he said replay the last 4 turns, or continue on. You guys didn't want to go back and i didn't want to go on. Now i have had enough of this stupid pointless subject.

well Deity i am glad your not having lag problems then.....what did you use to kill the parrots

SuperSneak · June 24, 2002, 04:25

I can't believe I just read three pages of this gibberish!
For God's sake, people....this is an incredibly slow and boring game as it is...why must you make it worse?

Hydey · June 24, 2002, 04:44

Its lucky that this gibberish is on topic and not just

deity is not the slowest player around.

Chris 62 · June 24, 2002, 05:58

I would hardly call it luck.

You really aren't into MP are you. You are talking to a bunch of civ tragics here.

I had the misfortune to play a session of this sad game. One look at the map and I knew it was going to be crap. It looked like Calcutta on a hot day - over populated, cramped, steaming, no elbow room.

I'm beginning to think a lot of the arguments about games really go back to poor choices in game settings.

Hydey · June 24, 2002, 07:35

yes our aussie games don't have such problems, just the Onion isle saga

finbar · June 24, 2002, 08:03

Speaking of which - Have I ever mentioned the fact that Deity Of The Spotless Reputation attacked me? Unprovoked?

War4ever · June 24, 2002, 09:15

Sneak, why dont' you play MP? its not that slow..especially if you play simul moves until war!

The big Aussie is a good example. The real problem with that game I've always felt, aside from unprovoked attacks

, was the map was too damn big.

And I should know - I made the damn map

Yes that's why we want you to play

But actually not. The Australian games are usually quite peaceful. They are unique in that respect much more diplo than the diplo. Why? Well finbar is an ageing hippy and doesn't like war. Deity is solely obsessed with squeezing every last trade arrow out of the map. And Hydey and I just go with the flow

Of course if makeo plays its a different story because deity is pretty much obsessed with his destruction.

War4ever · June 24, 2002, 19:50

and horse, who used to be cannon fodder would like to beat up on someone

Cannon fodder? How many games have we played? 2? Finished 1? LOL.

I'd kick your arse from here to Sunday. If you ever want a lesson in the military arts set your alarm clock for 3am and icq me.

Yeah, I find war takes too much concentration and hard work. Our games are like those scenes you see in just about every little Italian village - a bunch of guys around a table in the sun outside the local bar shooting the breeze.

Quite right. It's sort of an antipodean version of George Witless Bush and Saddam Hussain. Now we just have to work out which is which. Well, Deity's got a moustache. Does George Witless Bush chase ski bunnies?

your weak pathetic skills are no match for mine.....

Make sure you eat a few more turkey dinners before you come knocking at my door......

Alexander's Horse · June 24, 2002, 21:44

I find it really hard to take you seriously with that avatar War4.

Oh shut up Markusf - your map phobia and early retirements when losing have pretty much destroyed any cred you may have had.

AH i take offence to that, i play on nearly every setting imaginable. no one else, not even aussies would play on the customized map you created. And on top of that you have the nerve to complain about DD's maps

Bullsh*t - you only play on maps that suit you and you retire early and b*tch about the map if you think you are going to lose.

And I am not the first to say it.

2 highly respected players separately said that same thing about you. I didn't believe it but I found it to be true

Stop posting out right lies, I have never retired from a game off the start other then the one i played with you. And i told you before hand, create those unbelievably shitty maps and i will retire. Most of my games are 4 player games, so good luck finding 3 people that say i quit in the first few turns

Alexander's Horse · June 25, 2002, 01:50

Don't talk rot - you must have done it before because my informants mentioned your weakness before I played you, lol.

As for my allegedly "customised" maps, I'd hardly call maps with all the middle default settings "customised" LOL

Ming · June 25, 2002, 01:51

Didn't you have to leave a game on Saturday night because of an "unexpected" family reunion you had to go to...

Granted, I wasn't in the game... and you did come back... but when are "Family reunions" unexpected...

Sorry Markus... I couldn't pass up on this one

Alexander's Horse · June 25, 2002, 01:53

"family re-union" ROTFLMAO

I know you've now been exposed on the maps and settings thing Markus, but is that the best you can come up with as your new excuse?

Come on i left at 2800bc while already in republic and i had double the cities of everyone else along with Gold and wine and river for my first 2 cities. Basically one of my best starts ever in these sat games.

I didn't say family, i was supposed to get together with this girl, she canceled earlier then it was back on. Now if i quit i certainly would think of a better excuse and not come back and play the crappiest civ...
