RAH Rules: The Continuing Evolution - Page 2

War4ever · November 26, 2002, 17:23

i wanted to add something to the rules......

Incessant whining is a rule.......

for instance, (we will use Ming as an example here

)

if you pop a hut in the first couple of turns while surrounded by desert, its important for you to let everyone in the game know, just how bad your position is....

ie "This blows!" "Arrrrrrrrrrgggggg" is also appropriate.

it may get you a sympathy restart........

If you lose your second settler to barbs or your second city for that matter, or are just pissed that your rival (War4ever) always gets a mounted unit like a chariot, the appropriate response is :

"commmmme oooooooooooooon !" of course these responses are fine typed in kings chat, but are far more effective over icq phone

rah · November 26, 2002, 18:02

But I will say that I have no sympathy for people that lose their second settler to barbs by opening a hut. They know what the risk is and if they take it, so be it.
(I'll only consider doing it if I think I've fallen far behind and it's time to take some risks, but if you fall behind that fast, there's something wrong) Unless it's because War4 got multiple 2x movement units from huts, and a few non-settlers.

Ming · November 26, 2002, 20:34

Hmmm... Well War4ever... you seem to have gotten it just about right. However, you have missed some of the classics...

GOD... WHAT DOES A F*CKING HUT LOOK LIKE!!!!!!!!!!

Notice the all capital letter approach.

Also, the SECOND the opening map is shown to you, you must respond.

This SUCKS... no specials.. no huts, no rivers, no production, NO NOTHING... This REALLY BLOWS!!!!!!

And then you really missed my traditional all purpose whine...

I CAN'T CATCH A F*CKING BREAK... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

Not that these whines actually do any real good, but it's important that you set the stage properly hoping that it might do you some good down the road when you actually meet somebody.

Oh. and War...

*I know have to clean my keyboard off from the spit up coffee*

gonzo_for_civ · November 29, 2002, 03:02

Hmm...playing a rah game now

And yep..I've seen all the above listed whines(even invented a few myself)

I'm going for more of a sympathy approach though..as i know my ass is doomed to be kicked repeatedly

War4ever · November 29, 2002, 14:37

lol , the b1tch fest was on huge last night, first by partypooper ming.....then by partypooper War.....

with the ferrets just plugging along, and Gonzo, going Gonzo with kings chat

Ming · November 29, 2002, 14:49

Yes... Gonzo was FAR more chatty than we usually are. It was almost like playing with ICQ phone on

War4ever · November 29, 2002, 17:05

i am not sure the last time i heard play by play on kings chat

how did the game turn out btw

Ming · November 30, 2002, 13:39

Rah had a good lead when it ended... I was in a comfortable second place on the power graph... but totally pinned in. Even ships wouldn't have helped, because I was land locked with no access to a real ocean. Gonzo had his city count up there, but was down on the power graph and down on techs.

Last night... Rah slaughtered them... Even though he got off to a VERY SLOW start, he ended up with about 2/3 or the world. It was really strange, he kept sending units out, and was still finding huts... It seems like if either of the remaining players had built some ships early, it would have ended up really different. Instead, they gave Rah most of the world.

I look forward to your rematch with FF

It's a shame you got your ass kicked so fast..you could've seen the rest of it too

He got his own damn continent!! There was a TINY land bridge that was about 1/4 of the map away from me and right next to the mongols and FF, there was no way to go that way. I was so behind in tech at that point and I needed knights and pikeman to fend off the technologically superior FF, there was no way i was going to research mapmaking and build triremes to try and gain a foothold on a continent already held by rah whilst trying to continue to expand on my home continent while fending off the blue barbarian backstabbers

So yes, FF kicked Wars ass...I killed a lot of FF troops but he destroyed 1 city, and rah beat us all considering he only maybe lost 2 troops to us total.

War4ever · November 30, 2002, 15:43

The funny things is FF didn't really kick my ass, i conceded most of the cities to him.......and as i predicted to him, Rah would conquer the board, despite his treachery......

oh well, FF and i patched things up......no hard feelings.....

its too bad FF and i were so close together, the land there was primo, he had the trade, i had none, i guss rich troops fight better than poor ones

gonzo_for_civ · November 30, 2002, 15:53

It's because his were diseased...and you're too poor to actually afford immunizations so yours got sick with those nasty european diseases and......oops wrong war

War4ever · November 30, 2002, 17:17

lol that excuse works for me

rah · November 30, 2002, 18:26

Yes, war's soldiers have been subpar this weekend. They couldn't even finish off a lone horse on Thursday night.

Good to hear no one took it personal, but the rematch should be entertaining.

Most of it was still empty at the end of the game. Some great land was available for you if you had built one ship... one settler... and one defending unit. A small effort by you would have been worth as much land as you already. A stategic mistake on your part

War4ever · November 30, 2002, 20:32

i am telling you the civ gods were against me....i have decided to change strategies again......

i will be back with a vengence

Ming · November 30, 2002, 20:36

And just what is this new strategy... defending your cities?

gonzo_for_civ · November 30, 2002, 21:12

Lemme just make sure i understand all of this

From your sig:
"The next person to yell peace and then backstab me a few turns later, is going to get a swift kick in the ass!
-War4ever"

From your location:
" Flatlander Fox hunting Grounds"

Sounds all patched up to me

pah i did that b/c i was angry......i disbanded over 40 units....

Flatlander Fox · November 30, 2002, 22:28

Too bad, I was looking forward to taking it from you. I think I could have too, but i was robbed of the opportunity.

I took two cities from you, and might have just then held you off after that, I was building Sun's and pushing for the chapel soon after that.

It sux that it got so late, I was planning on invading Rah within a few more turns.

You can keep hunting too, I will be out here waiting.

War4ever · December 1, 2002, 04:01

dont you worry about that, i am going to @ss fIIck you like no tomrrow.......

when that is, of course is anyones guess

Flatlander Fox · December 1, 2002, 12:57

Bring it!

Ming · December 1, 2002, 13:22

Now I'm really hoping to be around for the rematch

War4ever · December 5, 2002, 17:18

Just dont' get in the way ming

hes mine. all mine....

you can tangle with your brother

Hydey · December 5, 2002, 17:26

hey no teams play now.

Flatlander Fox · December 5, 2002, 18:35

I am pretty hard to stmp out, so I will enjoy building while you try and take me under...

Maybe next time you will be more peaceful when I ask for peace instead of plopping a city down two squares away from mine.

I'm guessing a new rule designating the word peace as forbidden will be coming down the pipe soon.

War4ever · December 5, 2002, 19:21

actually had you shared the river instead of being greedy this could have been averted .....there was room for both of us...out of respect i din't build on the mountain, which would have been crafty on my part, especially when you said peace...

face it...your a stinker

now you have to pay the piper.....

build all the defence you want.....we both know damm well, its not going to be the next game that i smash you back into the stone age....thats murphys' law....

it will be when you least expect it.....

i am coming....beware of the purple Horde.....

one more thing, if someone takes purple again, i am going to change my sig!!!!!!!!!!

deity · December 6, 2002, 01:59

LOL @ Fox

deity · December 6, 2002, 02:00

Watch out for Fox, he gutted Nappy's empire once

Ming · December 6, 2002, 02:03

Nothing better than being in a game where two players have a grudge
