I Found My Civ II poster

SlowwHand · January 24, 2003, 13:08

On buying Civ II and looking at the enclosed advance chart, I recognized it immediately as something pretty cool to have as reference, maybe even as a keepsake.
So, with the intent of putting into a poster frame, or having laminated somehow, I put it away; and promptly lost it.

Years later, following numerous packings and unpackings, I found it this morning!

Still looks brand new. Why wouldn't it?

You won't care much I suppose, but I was happy.

/me lost both of his civ2 posters

SlowwHand · January 24, 2003, 13:29

Oh man, Wiz. I am SO sorry. Maybe they will resurface.
Apparently Civ posters are like socks.

ColdWizard · January 24, 2003, 13:32

i'm fairly sure i remember where one is, but given my memory it's better to assume that it's lost

Nice story Sloww.

Cold, the poster is available for download on the net, I have it on my harddrive at home.

SlowwHand · January 24, 2003, 13:36

But , it's not the same as having the original.
They have copies of the Mona Lisa on the internet, too.

Ming · January 24, 2003, 15:19

I have two copies of the poster... but I wouldn't call them a mona lisa

If I ever get too drunk or spaced while playing, the civopedia (or whatever) that is part of the game can always answer my question, so the posters are really kinda of worthless.

But heck... go ahead and frame it... hang it with honor in your home... and get strange looks when your friends come over

DrSpike · January 24, 2003, 16:16

I don't have a poster.....and I don't remember ever having one. What version did you get it with?

HappySunShine · January 24, 2003, 16:17

You're a dork, now shut up.

You know, you're a very bad man.

I got the poster with MGE.

And Sean, you're tacky

I guess they're not included in the budget releases, shame...

Apart from the original They also came with FW, CiC and Test of Time. Although the one in ToT differed in a bit appearance and layout to include the extra scenarios.

hi ,

great , so what has to be done to get it

have a nice day

Ming · January 24, 2003, 19:32

Send a registered check payable to War4ever for 1 million dollars, and I'm sure he will send it out to you using express mail

Hydey · January 24, 2003, 19:35

you can have one of mine for 3/4 million

hi ,

thanks Ming

this is the best joke in weeks

have a nice day

so whatabout that poster , ......

Ming · January 24, 2003, 19:48

Contact him via PM... Who knows, if you send him your address, he might just send it to you. But I wouldn't recommend posting your address here. Granted, it's probably better to do it here than the OTF, but I still wouldn't recommend it

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 19:56

lol, yes send me a PM.....if you really want it....or send a SASE and i will send it back with the poster inside

Ming · January 24, 2003, 19:59

War... I just received an email from Pang. If you could send it to him, it would really be nice. It's for a very good cause and not for his own personal use.

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 20:06

ok sure....do you want to get his adress and such and i can send it to him ? what is the cause ?

Ming · January 24, 2003, 20:08

I'll let him explain it if he wishes... And he should probably just send you the address. Anythime you add a link to the chain, you take the chance of an error

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 20:12

ok , feeel free to let him know he can pm with his adress....and i will send it to him....

i got one with MGE, and a second much later when they re-released vanilla civ2 (don't know if it was a re-release or what, but compusa had a crapload of them)

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 20:18

CW i got mine from origional civ 2 and then from MGE and then from TOT ...so i guess i have three.....more than willing to part with one of them.....besides i know that tech tree off by heart now, and only when i am seeing helicopters do i need to refer to any manual of any sort

ColdWizard · January 24, 2003, 20:23

nah, i got at least one at home i'm sure. plus i'm not willing to give my addy to anyone, not even to a fellow MPer

but thanks for the offer

Ming · January 24, 2003, 20:25

But if anybody else has some spares... send a PM to Pang. As I said, it's a good cause, and he could use more than just one.

ColdWizard · January 24, 2003, 20:30

i'm reasonably sure i left my second copy in NY, thus being almost totally inaccessible... though if i come across both copies, i'll certainly PM him

I'm sure most of us would have at least 2 after having to buy the game a second time for multiplaying .

If he could post what the good cause is we might be more forthcoming

Ming · January 24, 2003, 20:49

I'll leave that to him... I don't post in public places what people send me in private
