Aussie Group Re-Runs 4 - Page 8

More like 20 minutes...

And you remind me more and more of Coyote every day. All these little traps always blow up in your face.

I tried to warn you.....

BEEP! BEEP!

We have to maintain our Aussie tradition or Apolytoners would be disappointed

But seriously, I'd be interested in a poll on the issue of significantly holding up play to negotiate. I was surprised by Makeo's comment.

Makeo · February 9, 2003, 00:26

I don't know how it took so long, but I understand that the negotiations have to finish before moving units.

finbar · February 9, 2003, 03:17

It took roughly half an hour. There were two negotiations that were cutting across each other. Mix in some confusion about who was talking to whom about what, whether the numbers being quoted were latitude or longitude, Deity clogging up KC with his complaining, a maximum amount of perversity from Deity and Horse - what would one of our games be without their perversity? - and you have a recipe for a delay.

There's nothing wrong with negotiating boundaries in your turn. As has been said, a boundary will dictate where you move your units if you have moves left.

No that's not true. I reduced my forces when I went to republic and in ratio their number seem to be almost identical to yours..........so I'm not sure what your point was...

Anyway I've found 2 completely undefended cities of yours. That's what I call risk taking.

Thems horse traps

DrSpike · February 9, 2003, 09:11

Well done for posting it anyway D, it (and the following discussion) are worth a few chuckles.

Alexander's Horse · February 9, 2003, 09:32

He only posted the KC he could see. There's more.....

DrSpike · February 9, 2003, 09:36

Your whispered comments about D's heritage no doubt.

A very nice one. Dinner will be interesting this year...

I told Mrs Hydey that we would not be talking about civ at the dinner, we would have a normal conversation about our pet kangaroos.

I hope you're not going to bore the spouses with civ tittle tattle. That would be very poor form, especially once you've got a couple of drinks under your belt, lol.

As far as I'm concerned what happens in the game, stays in the game.

deity · February 10, 2003, 06:44

I'll only come if we can talk civ...

Ms deity knows nothing about the in-game stuff and she won't listen, so in this wider forum and over dinner I will crave it.

Thanks spike! Yes, I thought the preceeding posts made for good fun

Oh by all means raise it if you wish...........

deity · February 10, 2003, 07:10

You'd be interested in this.

It's a piece of finbar's brain...

DrSpike · February 10, 2003, 07:45

Hehe very creative.......one would presume Finbar is not a Bush fan.

finbar · February 10, 2003, 18:31

My leader's name in this game is Madman Don Rumsfeld. I'm fast running out of Bush bodyparts after which to name cities. I have, of course, not used his Heart or Brain, or, indeed, IQ. That which doesn't exist shall not appear.

Alexander's Horse · February 10, 2003, 18:42

You've given me a wonderful idea for renaming any deitician cities which may fall into my hands.

Alexander's Horse · February 13, 2003, 03:04

Anyone showing up Thursday night, bearing in mind Friday is Valentines Day?

I will be around Thursday after 9pm...............

deity · February 13, 2003, 03:08

I'll show for the four way

I just played 30 mins of Civ3 for the first time in a year and on my new PC it runs just fine but I can't stand the game - it is SO irritating!

srholmes · February 13, 2003, 03:13

Hi, if you guys are starting a new game tonight please could you let me know as I am free all evening.

Thanks

Alexander's Horse · February 13, 2003, 06:16

do you have icq?

srholmes · February 13, 2003, 06:31

yes 169333241

SO

Surely Dad you have trained Mrs Horse to believe that it is just commercial bull dust.

Alexander's Horse · February 13, 2003, 18:19

Can I take it from this that there might be some small chance of you showing up on Friday night?

deity · February 13, 2003, 18:34

Trev said he'd definitely be here and I'm a cert... so if Hydey shows we can start that 5 way I've been angling for

Assuming the most reliable Msrs Horse and finbar are here... we play with the combo that shows.

Alexander's Horse · February 13, 2003, 18:45

another new game...........

deity · February 13, 2003, 19:02

Hydey will forget to turn on icq no doubt.... so we'll be right horsie

Alexander's Horse · February 13, 2003, 20:11

If we play I'll be happy.

Mrs Horse and I are taking the children out for a nice romantic Valentines Day dinner

So we should be home by about 8.30pm....

deity · February 13, 2003, 20:52

Let's start at 8:30 then, PLEASE FINBAR!??

finbar · February 13, 2003, 21:07

Type my name properly - all lowercase - and I might think about it, diety.
