No worries Narz, but it is a huge letdown

The People of Japan came into existance on a green but twisted island. Japan's growing population found the narrow and hostile environs of the eastern island to be difficult to traverse and settle. Thus the Japanese people mastered the seas and built many fleets of ships in search of new lands.

Their exploration has brought them to many strange lands, to which they have brought their technology and culture in order to improve the empty world before them. Japanese voyagers have met the Deitian people, and by proxy learned of the Vikings. Also in the depths of the great northern forest a people known as the Suiox have been discovered, an anicent matriachal society.

Trade has begun to florish in the old world. Borders are expanding and new lands are being sought. Only time wil tell what other stories these great adventurers will have to tell.

well hell Narz, come back + play if you can handle what the AI did to you... and don't let whatsis face see you dropped so soon...

Guys we have an issue, cause I have lost my phone at home and hence internet conenction. Has to do with an errant ex-housemate and a $500+ phone bill, a solution is in the works but has not emerged yet. I'm in sydney this weekend and my girlfriend is learning to play civ so I'm fine for this weekend, but next weekend could be an issue. I'm 'hoping' to have a connection by then, but I'm also taking nominations for a proxy player should I still be cut off from the world. Any takers post here and send me an ICQ, if I don't reply then Deity can pick the replacement.

Sorry to do this, and hopefully I will be fine by then, but if not then at least gameplay should not be disrupted for the rest of you.

I might be able to sub this week, ICQ me if I'm around.

HawkHunter · November 15, 2002, 13:42

i also will be around if need be

Frank Johnson · November 15, 2002, 15:10

Yes Narz, with the emmense cheating on deity, the AI was in 2nd place. And it extorted a tech out of me :P I should have just killed them

deity · November 15, 2002, 20:58

Thanks atawa and hawk, stay tuned, we may need you!

And Dang, could you please re-phrase that last post? LOL

Frank Johnson · November 15, 2002, 21:10

Yeah you're right. They might think the cheating was a result of the normal AI actions and not your huge rule violations!

Narz · November 15, 2002, 22:23

I really don't have the time to continue the tourny, thanks for the re-invite despite my untimely departure... I'm glad to see you guys are continuing on without me. Hopefully the mass of cities I built up will make my AI replacement a bit more challanging than the usual stupid AI.

A tip to anyone looking to toast the Americans : I switched the capital city with New York or Boston I think so Washington is not the true capital. Hope everything goes well this Saturday!

Well, up you too

is this game going tonight or not?

Hydey · November 16, 2002, 21:25

yes

Cyber-Spyder · November 18, 2002, 09:12

Okay, I managed to get the next few weeks sorted out for turning up to play... this weekend I'm in Canberra and hijacking a friends conenction for the afternoon. Then the next two weekends I'll be in the Airlie region, all the island hopping is during the week so on both sundays I'll find a net cafe in Airlie or Mackay. So for now the hedonistic Egyptian empire can continue without the feared succession crisis!

SlowwHand · November 18, 2002, 11:07

You all realize there is a certain player that is going to need to be...restricted, somewhat, don't you ?

I won't mention any names, but his initials are DREAMER.

Frank Johnson · November 18, 2002, 14:16

Slowhand just put your money where his settlers are.

Hydey · November 18, 2002, 17:39

I'm sure he won't mind when we divide up his excess cities

SlowwHand · November 18, 2002, 18:44

That's kind of where my thoughts were going.

deity · November 22, 2002, 01:08

There is a strong chance I may have to miss this week but I've got a great sub lined up.... stay tuned

deity · November 23, 2002, 06:46

I got Deity Dude lined up as my sub. I've briefed him but don't expect him to play exactly like me. It's his empire for one era!
This is a once only marriage saving event that causes me to miss this session

Sorry, doesn't happen often...

Cyber-Spyder · November 23, 2002, 08:28

Bring it on you celtic barbarian. I'd be nice but I don't have any exccess cities to share with you.... although land might be available at a price {much cheaper than the cost of a failed army}. Swift and deadly killers we are, but peaceful unless provoked.

Frank Johnson · November 23, 2002, 13:00

Deity was probably talking directly to me.

boann · November 23, 2002, 20:08

is this game going on tonight

Frank Johnson · November 23, 2002, 20:59

haaaaai

Cyber-Spyder · November 25, 2002, 19:15

Are the celts returning? Due to their unfortunate geographic placement some actions will need to be undertaken which may be deemed illegal under current rules of dealing with AI. Hopefully Sloww was merely temporarily absent and will return this week...
