Kudos to your creativity!

Hey, I reported to you ready to start and never heard from you again on the subject.

What happened? Let's restart it and get some players!

Everyone else was too keen on the idea.

You said you were busy.

I see how it is.

If you wouldn't mind I could act as the bad german.
But only if you are willing to accept me....

Can you distort the truth and wallow around in your own twisted yet amusing view of reality? That is the question.........

UnOrthOdOx · August 13, 2003, 14:09

Cool let's get this running then!

5 players, small map, move quick.

Biggest lie wins?

Darekill · August 13, 2003, 14:21

@ Ghengis I could never do this!
I could never ever spread a lie.
You should know this since I've been here at Apolyton from it's very beginning in 1918!
I never lie.
Well, at least not always

As to the current PTWDG game..........
Are we having fun? No, and you know who I blame? These politically correct liberals thats who. Pacifist32 and his Spanishhugging Blockheads have destroyed the Glory of War. More like the Glory of Wusses nowadays if you ask me. "We don't want to take Spanish cities," they say. "The Spanish are our friends," they say. Bullcrud!

In my day, back when I was Emperor, we'd chase down them Luxians for days before we finally got to enjoy murderin one of those screamin brats. But, oh no! These is the age of enlightment! These is the days of the "kinder, gentler Warmonger"...............

Give me a good donkey and a large stick and I'll take the Spanish capital! Heck, I'll take em all! I don't need no stinkin Riders! Give me a donkey that can swim and I'll take that Eye of the Storm Chickens single handed!

Will they? You bet your left ear muffin they won't. Keep me chained to Sir UnOrthOdOx cause I'm "uncivilized". Hrmpf! One of these days that Sir UnOrthO is going to weaken his grip on that chain and off I go.................

Panzer32 · August 13, 2003, 15:05

don't worry Ghengis look at the election results so far...

GodKing · August 13, 2003, 15:09

Hey - if I ever get my phone working again - I would love to be a part of balderdash.

ZargonX · August 13, 2003, 15:51

I'd be interested, too. But if you want to keep it to a small game, I understand. There's only so much untruth you can fit in one game

UnOrthOdOx · August 13, 2003, 15:53

They're comming out of the woodwork now! Look at all the aspiring liars!

We're at seven...do I hear 8?

I still say a small map...make it crowded. maybe Pangea max water even...

GhengisFarb™ · August 13, 2003, 16:54

It could always be a tournament...

UnOrthOdOx · August 13, 2003, 17:00

A champion from each team?

Aggie · August 13, 2003, 17:05

I'll join if you need 8, but as the Prophet of the great Banana I always tell the truth(whose version is another story).
Aggie

UnOrthOdOx · August 13, 2003, 17:07

There's 8.

Any more will have to start their own I say.

All random settings, small map, 4 saves and we each vote for our favorite then play the 'best' one?

/me wonders who will truly vote their best game as #1 given this crowd...

Any of the 'new' victories?

Im a fan of Mass Regicide myself but don't need it.

Aggie · August 13, 2003, 17:16

Ghengis, as far as the current PTW game, I have instructed my riders to surround the palace and instruct Panzer of his options. Hopefully it won't come to bloodshed and panzer will see things the correct(read my) way. Though once I am...... Silly me, did I say I, I meant a duly elected general, is in charge we might cut those chains Ghengis. Just promise not to drool too much and only on our enemies.
Aggie

UnOrthOdOx · August 13, 2003, 17:27

Last I remember I was holding those chains. Besides. We are a LONG way from the capitol, and many things can happen to those you send with 'orders' be they from Panzer or Aggie, you will find I will do as I see fit in my pursuit of MrWIA.

Besides. I have a special assignment in mind for Ghengis. One that requires his...expertise.

Im almost done with the next section that will explain all. My writting time was cut dramatically this week, due to troubles at home I am sure you are all aware of by now.

GhengisFarb™ · August 13, 2003, 19:14

CrazyGhengis stops gnawing at his chains when he realizes UnOrthO is looking at him.

Balderdash PBEM
1) GhengisFarb - posts in gibberish
2) UnOrthOdOx
3) Arnelos
4) Beta
5) Darekill - posts in German
6) GodKing - doesn't post until 6 months after the game starts because that the soonest they can hook up his phone line
7) ZargonX
8) Aggie

CrazyGhengis starts gnawing at his chains as everyone starts discussing the game options.

Almost there.....

Master Zen · August 13, 2003, 23:44

This sounds like a bunch of old geezers remembering "the good ol' days"

ok, I'm just jealous because I wasn't in the first SPDG only in the last weeks of the final term (yes, I was in the victory chat

)

Darekill · August 14, 2003, 02:06

You don't want me to post my statements in german, do you?
I could do this but you would maybe loose the sense of them sometimes.
Maybe I should post bilangual. Would shorten my psots a bit because I'd have to translate them everytime

UnOrthOdOx · August 14, 2003, 08:55

German is fine with me.

I took a few years and understand the speaking fine. Writting it is a different thing all together...I could never write properly...

I think German and English would be nice.

Unless someone gives objects I am starting this PBEM today with settings listed below in THIS THREAD.

Balderdash PBEM
1) GhengisFarb - posts in gibberish

3) Arnelos
4) Beta

If you want to play a specific civ let me know TODAY or you will be given a random civ. I do think we should have one or two Hidden Nationality units.

Say, no one plays the Russians or Carthage and we make Cossacks and Numidian Mercenaries Hidden Nationality.

Arnelos · August 17, 2003, 14:38

1. I'd rather not have Cossacks and Numidian Mercenaries as hidden nationality units. I'm sure there's plenty to write balderdash about when you know everyone's nationality and everyone knows yours. Besides, if both sides are writing balderdash and everyone reading is aware that anything written could be fake, they ALREADY have no idea of knowing if both or either side is telling the truth when relating the identity of their attacker

2. Civ Choices (in order of preference):
- Japan
- Germany
- America
- Greece
- Rome
- Russia

GhengisFarb™ · August 17, 2003, 15:27

But it would be funny, because you don't know who attacked you with the Hidden Nationality units, you would have to guess and probably guess wrong, causing even more diplomatic dialogue.

Then you have people pointing fingers at each other all the while the actual culprit hides in the corner. In this game everything is in the open for people to see, so it helps to add a little bit of sneakiness to the game.

Darekill · August 17, 2003, 16:13

My civ's of choice in the given ranking are:

Egypt
China
Persia
Arabia
Iroquis
Germans

Hidden Nationality units should be UU's of not chosen Civs'
Best we have one from each army -> kosaks navy -> Man O' Wars and Airforce -> F16.

I would not use them

GhengisFarb™ · August 17, 2003, 16:17

I would be willing to include the Man O Wars if noone chooses England.

Seriously, a few HU units are very fun, they breed distrust and underhandedness. Which is exactly what we want in this PBEM.

SO Arnelos of the Japanese and Darekill of the Egyptians? You don't want to get creative with your names?

Aggies playing the Ottomans, and Beta is playing as Atlantis (Greeks) while I am Ghengis of the Ghauls (Germany).

Darekill · August 17, 2003, 22:53

Let me be Darekill of the Peoples Repuplic of Demogyptica.
I have a consttution already!
It beginns with: "I the People..."

Lasst mich Darekill aus der Volksrepublik Demogyptica sein.
Ich habe sogar schon eine Verfassung.
Sie beginnt mit: "Ich das Volk...."
