O.k., O.k., I'll admit not EVERYTHING, but almost... 
Thanks for the RPS kudos though.
But I will say that I'd love to get you into a game of Diplomacy once. I think you would be a natural at it. Until you met up with me.

see now , were being reasonable again.....
the civ credit i will give you is as follows, you know how to siege and with a lead can be a pain in the neck...
however, you don't expand well (yet) but we talked about this and your ability to maintain your advantage or see the bigger question during the game is still under investigation
you have improved vastly....but your still not in the heavyweight division

Re: Holding a lead...
That's because I drink too frigging much during the games. I am going to try a game where I don't drink until I'm blind and see how it works...
To give you some credit, the things we had discussed about production helped me out immensely. My head has been in the wrong place for much of my 2x gaming...
I don't mind not being a heavyweight... Knocking the heavies out everyonce in a while or stinging them badly is enough for me.
For now.

I never find Rah early enough...
Once I did, and he actually begged not to be killed, but when you are as hard up for victories as me, that never deters me.
He had been wandering around for a LONG time that game, and I found him with an archer.

No, it was in the KC...
He said, something to the effect of "please don't kill me, I've been wandering"
Then he got defiant, and died a heroes death.
(BTW, it was pure luck that I found him, he was coming up a river, and I was going down it)
We restarted after that.

I think it was more like
PLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE, I've been wandering for so long, don't make it any worse.
You have to get the right tone on that please.
Yeah one of those games where you find no specials or huts, wander for 12 turns, finally find a river with no good specials but figure out it's the best you're going to get, and THEN the archer shows up.  Yes, one of my brighter moments.

Yes, 90% of the time I agree with you on that. But in that game, I did make a bad decision and wandered longer than I should have, so I have to chalk that one up to error.

Hindsight is 20-20
But if I remember that game, I had wandered so long, I figured I might as well keep wandering until I find something real good. Greed is an evil thing.

Naw, running into you is no problem. If I do, all I have to do is ask for peace.

I think in future War4 will require your firstborn as collateral before entering into such a deal.

I'm not Spike, I was raised in a family of wargamers that enjoyed beating the crap of a child in a variety of different games.
So they introduced me to quite a few wargames, and then laughed lustily while they pounded me into submission when I would make errors or have bad die rolls. But it helped out in the long run, because there aren't too many hobbies as cheap or fun as gaming.
War, the game is ALOT different then the computer version. The reason I don't play the board game anymore is because the 'puter game is SO MUCH better. And there are better discovery/empire builder games out there than Civ the boardgame to play.
I started playing Civ 2 on computer around 99-00... But didn't MP until mid-2001.

Yeah, my Dad won't play games with me anymore, because my intentions are always to annhilate him first.
If I get one of the jobs I'm shooting for, I will be doing alot of traveling, and if I ever end up your way, I will drop you a line.
You can buy the first beer though.
