RAH rules: The Neverending Saga - Page 7

Yes, most of us have learned to live without better than in the past. But I do enjoy my imagination of what curse war is muttering when it's left so long that I actually build it and he sees the anouncement.

Ok folks, XIN has done it again.

The first item. (about unit support)

The time commitment to using this trick will be a killer. So it's time for all of us to post a simple, CHEAT, shouldn't do it.

And it does relate to the building the wonder on the same turn that you develop the tech scheme. I've been too lazy (or drunk) to use this trick in a game yet, but I'm wondering how people feel about this one. For MP games, I think it should classified as a CHEAT, shouldn't do it. I have not seen anybody use it yet.

Unbelievably ingenious, but still a blatant cheat.

ColdWizard · February 6, 2003, 19:29

i don't get it

i'll try reading again tomorrow morning when i've not brain-dead from working/playing BNT all day

Ming · February 6, 2003, 19:32

Yes... both are blatant cheats...

As for the first... snore... turns already take too long

As for the second... at least is is an easy one to catch as long as somebody has an embassy with the person.

Flatlander Fox · February 6, 2003, 21:22

I have had a few long turns in my time (None intentional

).

Turns are really too long as it is...

War4ever · February 6, 2003, 23:08

agreed they are both blatant cheats......so we can agree , no using !!!!

rah · February 7, 2003, 12:35

Might as well wait just a bit to let some of the others say the same thing. Even though I know what the overall concensus will be.

War4ever · February 7, 2003, 12:43

its either vote cheat, or play with a different group, i know this sounds like the gestapo here, but i refuse to play with the hut finder, xins cheats etc....all the turns will take forever

hut finder is one thing b/c you do it on your turn....but the other...no way

I do like to keep up the illusion that we actually discuss items before we ban them.

But in this case, it is pretty obvious, but I didn't want to seem dictorial.

however did you make upper management with that wimpy attitude

i hear what your saying , and i apologize, but lets be honest, its been discussed

rah · February 7, 2003, 15:12

Yes, that's how I made upper middle management and why I'll never make upper upper management.

Apology not needed, but accepted.

Yeah, screw everyone else. Go ahead and add it CW.

Thanks,

Rich

Now THAT'S upper management talking

ColdWizard · February 7, 2003, 15:56

i'll add it in later

rah · February 7, 2003, 16:07

Yeah, when you figure out just how to explain it.

ColdWizard · February 7, 2003, 16:13

explain nothing, i'll just use copy and paste

War4ever · February 7, 2003, 17:13

hehe....i figure once rah, ming and i have talked about it, and of course the good doctor chimes in, its pretty much discussed...

i wish berz and ff et al...would post their opinions a bit more on the rules..Barono comes to mind as well...

but oh well..go ahead an cut and paste CW

Flatlander Fox · February 7, 2003, 17:42

I am against ANYTHING that makes your turn take longer thaq it already does. (That's why I stopped drinking during Civ games)

The hutfinder is something I only useon other's turns, and something like this would make games almost unplayable.

Ming · February 7, 2003, 19:07

See war... ask, and thou shalt receive

Berz never posts anymore, and Barono only really posts in the IP thread...

DrSpike · February 7, 2003, 19:22

Berz posted in 'other games' the other day about obtaining some abandonware.

War4ever · February 7, 2003, 21:23

*snitch*

DrSpike · February 8, 2003, 08:16

Abandonware isn't piracy......my point was not what he posted about anyway but that he posted.

Stupid beaver.

War4ever · February 8, 2003, 17:06

hehe....i know, your like the bird who reports on all others !!!!

I'm afraid that Apolyton Policy doesn't agree with you on that. Blah blah blah... it is still theft... Blah blah blah

DrSpike · February 9, 2003, 11:59

Oh, sorry, I was not aware of that.

I was under the impression abandonware was legal, and does not occur without the consent of the company involved. Is this not the case?

Ming · February 9, 2003, 12:22

In most cases "abandonware" is not with the consent of the company. The company still holds the copywrites on it, even if they have indeed stopped selling it. In only a few cases does the company actually ever give consent.
