We rarely disagree over rules.

First... it doesn't really matter if you like them or not... since you don't really play with us that often

But.. I remember that you've had some recent BIG arguments over rules... something about alliances

deity · January 24, 2003, 01:52

No, that's fine. I do that all the time. Irrigating etc before building a city is absolutely fine.

Once again there is confusion here about what pre-working settlers is (bad title btw)

Go read Rah Rules AGAIN!
Pasted here...

“pre-worked settlers - You start a settler working on something, (like transforming grassland to forest, anything that takes longer than a turn)
Now before he finishes, clear the command. The turns that he spent working are "saved up" the next command you give him, (if you planned it right) will allow it to be completed in one turn. Hence the term, "pre-worked".”

Ming's post following Xyvyr’s makes it more confusing!

That was only one player - who hasn't been a regular for quite a long time.

I can't recall the last time the regulars argued over rules - like in about 3 years!!

That's why we were in a bit of shock when that issue blew up!

Yeah, a good healthy Aussie debate

WE play with attitude but no quitting

Well, you and I are the only two that argue.

finbar, Makeo and Hydey just relax and go with the flow... But at least I don't quit.
However, when I bribed a unit of yours some time back you just chucked a total spaz and Quit the game as host!

So, there's no problems unless you and I play in the same game

Alexander's Horse · January 24, 2003, 02:27

Yes, its all my fault.

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 02:37

i have heard that

Alexander's Horse · January 24, 2003, 02:41

I'm trying to cool it. The last thing we want is a re-opening of some of that crap.

deity · January 24, 2003, 02:48

tsk tsk

deity · January 24, 2003, 02:50

Horse has attitude.
deity has attitude.

That's why our games aren't BORING!

Ming · January 24, 2003, 02:52

come on guys... not in this rules thread. You can always start another thread that we can all spam in

Alexander's Horse · January 24, 2003, 03:00

Oh please - you and War have been trying to stir it up for the last page or so.

AHH ok - wow, after reading those rules I feel so dirty.. so many little tricks you all've figured out! Terribly sorry to confuse the issue, BTW. Again, my ignorance brings only pain.

Ming · January 24, 2003, 03:23

You might find this old thread interesting

Xyvyr · January 24, 2003, 07:34

Holy Cheese and Rice! While I only skimmed the info at that link I get the gist of it and nay shall I eatith of the apple of good and evil! I'll remain happily ignorant thank you. While I proclaim no savior in real life, I hand my gaming fate to the All Great Randomizer, who punishes those who shaveth the corners of their six-sided dice and bringeth eventual doom to all ye who seeketh the hidden path to greatness over the muddy trail of perserverence, and all ye who.. oh crap.. that Lutheran military school got to me didn't it. Anyway you naughty people, I'll have you know that when you whoop my behind in Civ II that you whooped a CLEAN butt. That unsinkable thing is pretty cool though..

Ming · January 24, 2003, 12:11

That's why we have a rules thread like this... so everybody in the game knows what's OK and what's not

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 12:39

just for the record, i don't care what rules i am playing , just no city bribe, and i go with the majority....

but i like to KNOW the rules ahead of time

Ming · January 24, 2003, 13:12

It just makes sense to "know" the rules ahead of time.

There is nothing worse than having a game breakdown because of a rules issue.

Xyvyr · January 24, 2003, 14:19

Oh yeah - I got the rules down from this thread, but the cheat list from the other thread, while interesting, would only serve to ultimately lessen my own enjoyment of the game. I could care less what particular rules people play by, I'll know and abide, through sicker or poorer, till death dethrones me, and love it. I didn't understand why some of the Rah Rules were there until I read the thread through, very interesting evolution if I might say so!

Six Thousand Year Old Man · January 24, 2003, 14:34

Hear, hear!

A lot of the things in the cheats thread, I would never have thought of, or thought possible. Hell, I still don't know how to make my triremes unsinkable!

A rules thread at least lets us level the playing field a bit. Whether you regard certain actions as 'cheats' or not, at least it's out in the open. Moreover, knowing how to use the allowed cheats is important, if everyone else does!

I don't like many of the allowed cheats either - but that's my decision, and the rules make sure I know what I was up against anyway.

Ming · January 24, 2003, 15:12

Yes... it is all about a "level" playing field. It's almost impossible to get everybody to agree on whether something is truely a cheat or not... but it is easy to get a concensus, and then publish the agreed upon rules.

I don't think any of us agree on every one of the rules here... but we have agreed that these are the rules we will play by.

HappySunShine · January 24, 2003, 16:18

Amazing how much all of you talk about civ and strategy but yet you still all suck.

rah · January 24, 2003, 16:39

Your contributions to the discussion are always so useful.

Do you even play anymore? Just curious. How's the tennis going?

Ming · January 25, 2003, 03:53

I see that Happy is campaigning for the next HOF election

I was hoping to bump into eyes at the Aussie open but alas they play tennis at Deity level and eyes is far superior at king level tennis.

by the way did serena complete her serena slam, i was watching it then switched to the hockey game

Serena Williams completed her "Serena Slam" on Saturday, but her sister certainly made her work for it. Serena beat Venus 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 to win the Australian Open, and expect their domination of women's tennis to continue, writes Mark Kreidler.

From ESPN.com this morning

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 13:06

actually i went and looked at it, and watched the replay.....good for her, but i am tired of thewilliams sisters....

they aren't very smart those two, and they are ugly as sin....but damm can they play ball......they hit almost as hard as some of the men...

Ming · January 25, 2003, 13:12

I'm happy to see them killing all the competition. I hope they continue for a long time.

And no, they aren't all the pretty, or very smart...

BUT NEITHER ARE HOCKEY PLAYERS
