Aussie Group Re-Runs 4

Hydey · January 24, 2003, 18:53

The last thread got so full of it that we had to start a new one.

Deity tells me that he and trev will be around tonight and I can join them.

Horse? finbar?

Alexander's Horse · January 24, 2003, 19:18

I wish you would stop restarting the thread with these sh*t names.

My preference would be to continue the 4 way at the usual time.

We've been down this track before where deity pulls players out of the ether who show up for one session and then vanish.

The other alternative would be to start a 5 way with the newbie and save the 4 way for another night.

After last night's fiasco my patience is wearing thin.

Hydey · January 24, 2003, 19:22

I happen to love the names

Alexander's Horse · January 24, 2003, 19:25

Well you would wouldn't you.

Hydey · January 24, 2003, 19:31

I am my fathers son.

finbar · January 24, 2003, 20:01

Quite bizarre goings on last night. Horse and I discovered Deity has a new policy - he won't play Civ games with fewer than 4 players. The policy extends to 3-player games already started, which he now refuses to continue. The Americans' policy on invading Iraq is explicable - they want to secure the Iraqi oil supplies for their own use. Deity's policy, OTOH, is utterly inexplicable.

Hydey · January 24, 2003, 20:08

You can't expect deity to continue a game when he has new ones to start.

Hydey - I'm going to organise another Civ dinner. When can you and Mrs Hydey make it up this way? Presumably not before cricket finishes?

Yes, HUGE frustration last night. And that 3 way looked like a good game too..........

I dared not ask why.

Cricket season

last round = March 8th
semi-final week = March 15/16th
Grand final = March 22/23 & 29 (if we make it)

There will also be a cricket trip away weekend sometime after this but nothing is booked yet and a golfing weekend sometime in April or May.

And you guys wonder why I struggle to find time to play civ

Look for a weekend in April that suits you all and I will try and find out exact dates for my other (piss-ups) activities.

April. Okay. Just to give me a headstart, Hydey, list your absolute favourite: (a) starter; (b) main course; and (c) dessert.

Makeo · January 24, 2003, 20:58

just stay home from work so you can play me.

deity · January 24, 2003, 21:13

OK
Trev is highly reliable - he's not a kid

He played with me and Hydey in the USA Sat nighter and is a fairly good and totally reliable player.

I didn't realise Hydey would be here tonight but I'd already started to organise this 5 way for Sat nights with:
Horse
finbar
deity
Trev
and Hydey as 5th civ when available (otherwise AI)

I'll play our 4 way regularly on Friday nights when Hydey is normally available.

Yes, perhaps I should have played the existing 3 way last night - sorry. DEITIANS are considering a more explicable shift in [policy - *watch this space*

BUT I'll only continue with these three games so let's get it happenning...

War4ever · January 24, 2003, 21:25

It's just you...

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:11

Civ players without attitude in real liofe relationships makes for boring games, War.

You know that

Because you got attitude but no one in your group appreciates it

They are so boringly nice... LOL

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:12

unlike Horse in our group...

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:14

I've met him you know.

He's so nice in real-real life

Just an @sshole in the forums and icq....

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:15

and King Chat...

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:15

He's AWEFUL in King Chat.

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:16

But over the table at finbar's, he's a delight....

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:17

I don't mean over the table.. but across the table...

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:19

I've not met Hydey yet....

not game, but the time is fast approaching.

deity · January 25, 2003, 00:21

Now, what was that finbar? Now that I'm on to dinner.

Prawn sumptin for starters

satay sumptin for mains

bread and butter pudding for enders...

Did I miss the point?

He's just changed his order and advised me by icq:

He wants fairy bread for starter (but please remove all orange sprinkles), chips and battered sav with Fountain tomato sauce for mains and Coco Pops for dessert.

Hydey · January 25, 2003, 00:45

yes yes very funny ha ha , everyone laugh at horsey, isn't he funny.

sounds nice though

Alexander's Horse · January 25, 2003, 01:18

Yeah sorry Hydey I was going to say Pluto Dog and Fairy Floss as you suggested but I didn't want to inconvenience the chef.

There might not be any carnivals around Cammeray.
