Is that for this week or for all weeks?

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2003, 08:11

He's out for dinner tonight and having people over tommorrow night.

He's serving Healthy Choice TV meals tommorrow night so he can watch the rugby.

Hydey · June 13, 2003, 08:31

so he is really looking after himself

Makeo · June 13, 2003, 10:06

Hydey · June 13, 2003, 10:20

One of us should ring up finbar tonight and ask him

trev · June 13, 2003, 23:17

I regret to announce that I will be a no show again tonight (need some sleep ) as my daughter has booked an airport flight for 7am (must be insane for a Sunday morning) and to Sydney too (who would go to that place?)

Lucky I got here at 9.29 then isn't it.

deity · June 14, 2003, 07:52

I have to give it a miss tonight too, sorry.

---

I suggest we all sign a peace accord, be nice to finbar, work out agreed rules and start a new game for next Sat night. Trev will be in this he said.

Makeo has a nice straight forward approach to the game where anything goes, which was fine 3 years ago but now that we know the game so well we really should have clear and fair understandings.

In that last game that Horse resigned from we had all of us operating on different understandings about AI human civs. Sure, it's best not to have them but if an AI is allowed to run a human civ we need to protect it. It's not a great achievement to knock them out and it stuffs up the time slot for the scheduled players.

I seriously suggest Rah Rules but with no unit bribe as a compromise for Horse. I agree with Dr_eamers post in the other thread about unit bribe but I'll compromise.

Rah's Rules have been intelligently thought out over years of playing and although I'm not entirely happy with a few of them it's a good consensus drawn from the Apolyton culture.

Let's all get off on the right foot and all be nice

I'm sorry finbar if I upset you. PLEASE come and play with us...

I agree with Deity about the need for a new game on Saturday nights, the current game has had different players playing by different rules, and so is no longer a reflection of players abilities

I am easy about what rules are used, we just need to make sure every player uses the same rules next time

Alexander's Horse · June 15, 2003, 20:14

makeo and I duelled on saturday night. Not sure what rules we used.

Probably the "have a good time with your friend" rules.

Makeo · June 16, 2003, 04:39

Yeah thats what i was using.

Alexander's Horse · June 16, 2003, 08:23

You were also using the "get 4 cities from huts you lucky bastard and still complain about the map" rules.

Makeo · June 16, 2003, 08:30

I'm getting awesome hut luck the last couple of games. In that duel i got lots of cities and nomads and in a game with Dreamer I got a nomad within three turns as well as a couple of other free cities.

Hydey · June 16, 2003, 08:32

That luck must look good on your 2 computers

j/k

Alexander's Horse · June 16, 2003, 19:47

I completely lost track of time last night playing RoN and went bed at 3am

I got into this huge see sawing battle for the Greek capital. I took it a couple of times briefly but lost it again and again. This game can be over in 40 minutes or go on for hours and hours.

Meanwhile the Egyptians got nukes

Cyber-Spyder · June 17, 2003, 13:04

btw, anyone here using Jabber yet?

Cyber-Spyder · June 17, 2003, 13:05

You bastard, here I was thinking you were just a better player... {lets not talk about the Pigpen game....}

I'll have to drop out for the next few weeks, dance performances both friday and saturday this weekend, then *hopefully* off to Canberra for a roadtrip with Patricia the weekend after.

However anyone who wants to play late nights mid week give me a buzz

Alexander's Horse · June 17, 2003, 20:51

okay, hope we can keep in touch. makeo is a good player, one of my favorites.

deity · June 19, 2003, 00:55

Yeah, Dre_amer (cyber) a good find for the Aussie crowd.

Who's here tonight? Good chance I will be

BTW I'll play the way Makeo does and keep quiet about it like he does... he he

Alexander's Horse · June 19, 2003, 01:01

I should be around.

deity · June 19, 2003, 04:28

Ms deity changing my mind...

Trev can't do Thurs so I suspect we won't have enough for existing games... only Horse and Hydey if finbar doesn't show

I'll keep an eye out but watching DVD's.

finbar can ring me if he shows and you want the 4 way
