Gee... I thought it was standard operating proceedure to always say... "Thanks for the vet" to whoever attacks you when you win

rah · May 2, 2003, 17:43

It is

Good stretch

RAH

thats b/c i opened two huts and neglected to mention the barbs

rah · May 5, 2003, 08:26

A likely story

War4ever · May 5, 2003, 09:53

what ! You don't believe me

rah · May 5, 2003, 10:20

In an MP game, I only believe what I can prove. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU"RE INVOLVED. But then, I expect the same from you.

RAH

Ming · May 5, 2003, 12:42

Yes... MP Propaganda... just like a real war

War4ever · May 5, 2003, 15:16

many players are good at that...though i rarely stretch the truth....

rah · May 5, 2003, 16:46

No worse than Ming's "this bloowwwwws" proclamation one turn prior to dropping both cities.

RAH
And yes I have been known to do it too. But I usually use a more simple *sigh* instead of the more demonstrative "THIS BLOOWWWWS"

Alexander's Horse · May 5, 2003, 19:32

early markets probably makes more sense in 2x.

Ming · May 5, 2003, 20:38

Maybe in my trade city... but too much production to waste that early in other cities. To busy spitting out settlers

And Rah... you have it wrong. It goes...

THIS BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS!

War4ever · May 6, 2003, 09:30

yeah, Rah's typical response is *clean but , sigh*

you KNOW the ferrets have something decent......

or the proverbial... *well its clean, but its the worst of the three*

... meaning he doesn't have wine or gold in his radius...but can see a hut and a whale...and KNOWS it will get better.....

Mings *THIS BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS! has now become legendary....

new rah rules material for these two jokers

rah · May 6, 2003, 09:51

Or sometime War tries the opposite strat. He tells you how great his opening is. GOLD, whales, silk, pheasants, huts, non-units, nomads. It's so good, you have already lost so a restart is in order. It's always very convincing. BUT, the last time, I opened a save later..................hmmmm,

RAH

War4ever · May 6, 2003, 10:32

MOI?????? well that is the lasttime i tell you about my start....i ALWAYS tell the truth..too a fault...especially in duels b/c i don't want to play if my opponent has no chance of a comeback....

i only pull that if my pheasants start has no chance of beating the gold U just happened to stumble across

rah · May 6, 2003, 11:38

Oh I believe everything you say.

It's what you don't tell me is the biggest concern. As you stated previously.

So you always have to wonder what's not being said.

RAH

Ming · May 6, 2003, 13:46

In duels... I believe what is told me if I'm playing with somebody I trust. As war says, a fair start is critical to a fun game.

When it comes to 3 or 4 person games... I take every comment with a grain of salt

However... when I say THIS BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS!" you should trust me

War4ever · May 6, 2003, 14:03

its all about trust of course, but the only thing i trust is that the two of you will be competitive no matter what your start is

that is truly the sign of a real warrior...

Thanks... and I can say the same for you... assuming your connection doen't die

Plus.. I can also always trust that you will get a two movement unit from your first hut

rah · May 6, 2003, 14:24

I always count the number of "W"s on Ming. The more "W" the more likely he's yanking our chain.

I always have to chuckle when the person has two cities down in the first two turns and is claiming that the land sucks so bad so they just settled to get it over with. Hmm lots of time to exploring, "2". Even with hutfinder, it takes at least three turns to discover it it's that bad. (unless you're on a one wide peninsula.)

War4ever · May 6, 2003, 15:42

lol....yeah..rah you have used that excuse before...

when playing the twins, if they are quiet or not forthcoming with info..you know they have an early advantage.......

and are not interested in tipping their hand.

rah · May 6, 2003, 15:51

Well ok, I guess if nothing else, we've all learned that we're not fooling anybody.

Ming · May 6, 2003, 15:53

Yeah... kind of true... but even with a good start, you will still here me say... THIS BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS!

rah · May 6, 2003, 15:54

And I will *sigh*
And war4 will get a chariot.

War4ever · May 6, 2003, 15:57

i dont always get the chariot...in fact the other game you got all the nice units..and i got p!ss

Ming · May 6, 2003, 16:03

NO... sometimes you ONLY get a horseman

Then stop telling me you just got a chariot

Hydey · May 6, 2003, 18:24

what a load of

don't let the mods catch you

rah · May 6, 2003, 19:20

Yeah, I'll pm a mod now.

A little chest thumping/abusing has always been considered acceptable in the MP forum. At least it's friendly instead of some of EYE's abusing. YOU SUCK
