This is rather interesting.

Actually our choice was very much made because of the traits. The UU just happened to be a fairly good one. Our agenda is Science, followed by strong industrial economy. Therefore our agenda coincides much with legoland, roleplay and gathering.

Too bad relations between gathering of storm and lux is off on the wonrg start when gathering of storm's temporary name was "kick trip's ass" LOL

Seriously, on behalf of Lux's team we have nothing agst your team though. I personally joined the team cause I liked the banner ([Japanese accent]Go Evangelion![/Japanese Accent] ), and I liked their traits, not because I like Trip. If I become a foreign advisor, we can probably work together like US and Russia did when they were working together in many scientific research.

Trip had "Ottomans" listed in the "First Team" thread he formed as soon as he'd formed the team. I assume that everyone who joined the team, including such late arrivals as yourself, joined already knowing that the Ottomans were Trip's favored civ choice

That said, I assume you guys could have changed the team choice, but with so many people joining a team which stated that the Ottomans were their first civ choice, it would be supririsng if at least a few people who wanted to play the Ottomans joined the team for that reason

Note that we changed the name. I never seriously considered your leader's... anatomy to be a worthy enough cause to sustain a team. Although, it did attract some attention and thus served its purpose.

We welcome good relations with all teams. We will meet on the fields of battle with many at some time, surely. However we hope to share a drink in the halls of Valhalla with all who carry themselves with honour. Of course, we wish you to be there to greet us, not the other way around.

Zero · November 23, 2002, 13:21

Drink in valhalla? Does this mean have you made your decision?

I hoped to share slide rules and correct each other's significant figures, but oh well, This doesn't mean we can't be good neighbors..

EDIT: This post was originally a double post, so this one actually comes after the next one.

Welcome Shiber.

Warning! A guy named TJFreak has signed up to join both you and Legoland. Thought you might want to know.

DeepO · December 3, 2002, 11:51

There are still a few of those groupies in our team list, last count there were 4 not authorised to enter. I'm not sure how NYE is trying to delete them, they didn't respond to PMs IIRC.

Thanks for the warning, though!

Greetings from the office of the Foreign Minister! It is good to hear that you have contacted DeepO and arranged your communications. We have never heard of the people called the Vikings, we are of Egyptian decent.
May our relations turn to friendship as the game progresses.

With all due respect to our illustrious Foreign Minister, we are not of Egyptian descent, we are the Egyptians.

Meshelic · December 3, 2002, 17:43

I thought we were the Gathering Storm?

I know what you mean, I meant that we are (obviously) the GatheringStorm, which technically could make us a whole new nationality....but we have the skills and technology of the Egyptians....

depends on how you look at it I guess.

We're both! , ok?!?

Not entirely true. A couple did reply, but with very little or no additional information. I am somewhat at a loss in knowing what to do with them. They are unknown to all of us, so it is unlikely they would be admitted.

Where to from here? I thought I'd drop the matter.

Welcome, quantum_mechani! I wish I could offer you some 1x1 cakes, but sadly, we're out of supply right now. Would some bubbly wine be appreciated? (yeah, that's right, it's us Egyptians who first discovered the tech for champagne, not the French

)

I'll contact you through PM to handle the rest of the contact between our two great nations, but could you please post here, or in another thread (as long as it is publicly accessible) that we are allowed to quote your PMs in our private forum? Otherwise there is the risk of running into legal problems on the 'poly fora...

Thank you, and see you soon,
DeepO

Gathering Storm:

I have previously PMed this to NYE, but have recieved no response, so I will repeat it here.

I attempted to join this group a few days ago. The reason for this was mostly to enable me to follow this group. And if things were interesting enough, get involved.

I do not do much posting on 'Poly, most of my Civ3 activites take place over on CFC in the SG games. I have posted here in the strat forums on occassion, but understand that the folks here may not know me as well as the folks at CFC.

Therefore I understand if I was turned down for access to your groups private forum. Howevr, I received no noticed that I was accepted or rejected. The "civgroups" page now says I am "banned" from your private forum, but if I click for a member list of the group, it lists me as I member. One or the other should be corrected. If I am a member, then I would like access to the forum, if not, then I would like the "shield" removed from my postings.

As stated above, I sent a PM to NYE several days ago, but have received no response from him. Is this a bug with the site software? Do I need to have one of the moderators fix it?

Thanks.

notyoueither · December 11, 2002, 14:47

My apologies, Meldor.

I receieved your email and lost track of it. My fault.

We do not react when someone clicks to join the team without saying anything else. I select the ban option so that those 'non'members are easier for me to see in the panel. I cannot remove anyone from the group. Only the user can do that by clicking on the 'leave' option next to our name.

I think we are full at the moment. If that changes I will contact you.

alva · December 11, 2002, 15:00

Let me add to that, that there are still severall teams still accepting people.

Have fun Meldor,

There in lies the problem, since I am "banned" I can not select "leave", or am I looking in the wrong place.

BTW, no apology is needed. I understand that it is nothing personal. How can a causal observer get a look into the inner working of the groups? Again, I understand the need for some level of privacy, so I suppose this will remain a closed game unless you make a big commitment.
