MP ettiquette: Or things that tic you off. - Page 5

Correct, you can maybe get away with it once if you're a good player, but more than that makes you a liability and only asked when we're desperate. And even then, there's no guarentee.

Ming · May 19, 2003, 14:29

Yeah... it's amazing who you will ask when you are desperate

But war is right... at least an "excuse" was given. Nothing worse that getting a notice that somebody retired from the game, and NOT A STINKIN' word why.

But then you ask around on king chat, and the usual answer is something like... Hmmm, he just lost a city to the cats I sent against him, I wonder if that pissed him off

rah · May 19, 2003, 15:03

Yeah, it never seems to happen after the guy got a nomad from a hut.

But if it is announced on King Chat... somebody else might suddenly retire

rah · May 19, 2003, 15:47

Naw, war just does that to me to aggravate me.

It's just like 10 seconds into his first or second turn he always says chariot, just to aggravate me.

RAH
Multiple times.

War4ever · May 19, 2003, 17:29

i don't announce what i don't get

rah · May 19, 2003, 18:24

I "GET" aggravation.

War4ever · May 19, 2003, 18:28

this coming from the guy who says i only got a "horseman" from the hut, like anyone doesn't die for any four legged unit out of their first hut

rah · May 19, 2003, 18:35

No, that was i got horseback riding from a hut.

War4ever · May 19, 2003, 18:53

no no , i asked you if you got a unit, your reply was, yes but only a horseman

had me in stitches....wah....no chariot for you....oh well just as good

Ming · May 19, 2003, 19:06

I usually get Warior code or 25 bucks from my first hut... sigh...

War4ever · May 19, 2003, 19:29

Only because you had three units from huts already. I think it's called sarcasm.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 09:40

it ws on the first turn of the game???? and no i didnt' have three units already, you must have been drunk, i think your confusing games here

Ming · May 20, 2003, 10:01

That's possible... since in most games, you do start with a chariot

Yes, that's possible since I'm playing in three games a night due to SOMEBODY DROPPING.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 13:39

well Ming don't forget to test your machines out for when i get to chi town....want to make sure we can have a few marathon sessions of civ

Ming · May 20, 2003, 14:05

We still have to bribe the kids to use their machines

rah · May 20, 2003, 14:20

Just talked with my network boys here. Go ahead and load the game on two other machines. Jot down the IPs they show when you start the game. If we have problems they boys will lend me a remote router that we can use to hardwire the machines. (with instructions)

Ming · May 20, 2003, 14:54

I still have to get them to agree to give up their machines

rah · May 20, 2003, 15:18

You can't load software while they're not there?

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 15:49

i may bring a laptop...its old, but if i can scrounge up the parts..i will...

rah · May 20, 2003, 16:49

Hmmm, beginning to see who's in charge at Ming's house.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 17:52

The kids are of course...kinda like your daughter RAh

Don't bother... old machines won't cut it... but I like the thinking...

And yes rah, I do live in a house full of females

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 17:55

are you sure.its a 233, not much slower than my old machine, which despite its problems with downloads

was more than fast enough

DrSpike · May 20, 2003, 18:12

You can easily play civ on that.

But don't take any machines............the image of you 3 (post intoxication) playing hotseat on one machine is somehow amusing.

Ming · May 20, 2003, 18:20

It needs a network card as well

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 20:27

i have a network card, how dod you think it was hooked to the net before????

it was hooked to cable...... i might bring it to play civ on the plane zzzzzzzzzz
