Who is interested in building a Medieval Mod PBEM when Conquests comes out? - Page 5

Seeing the amount of GFs PBEMs and demogames I really wonder how he handles all this, or more precise, where he takes all the time from.

I'm stationed in a swamp, far and away from all civilization.

And I pretty much used all the conversational possibilities with the local alligator population quite some time ago.

What do you do in the Armed Forces, Ghengis? Something to do with computers?

Not far enough, I fear, or else you wouldn't play a game with that name.

Sounds like a fun place indeed.

No. I was busy with other things last night. I will play and post the turn this evening.

When I signed up 6 years ago, I was trained in the Artillery branch. However, the artillery has the lowest intelligence requirement in the entire Department of Defense. If you are not smart enough to march in the Infantry you can still be in the Artillery.

Consequently, after my first 5 months I was put in the training room (I was one of 3 people in my battery that knew how to turn on a computer) and processed paperwork and the what not. When I came back to the states I was assigned to Battalion HQ and processed awards/eval reports until an NCO was relieved from PMO (maintence/part ordering and equipment status) at which point I was put in charge of that for BN HQ. Two months later I was yanked by Brigade HQ and made Command Secretary and basically asssisted the Brigade Commander and Command Sergeant Major for the last two years.

I left, joined the National Guard and was promptly activated and sent to guard a swamp. That's my military career in a nutshell.

Well the condensed version anyway, I have all sorts of hilarious stories of stupidity during my adventures, but they are too many and would take too long to list...

And I thought you were designing the next greatest weapon in our anti-terrorism arsenal.

G.A.T.O.R. - GhengisFarb's Amphibious Transport Or Reconnaissance

I hear it is a fleet of 1 man submarines that look like alligators. You know you're in trouble if you see about 50 alligators congregating in a swamp in your country. It might just be Ghengis and his platoon of "gators" doing reconnaissance.

GhengisFarb™ · December 3, 2003, 13:45

We're still working on the documentation for my Gator Guard concept of Soldiers mounted on Alligators for amphibious patrols..........

marcuspeddle · December 3, 2003, 19:48

Interesting career. Is the National Guard a kind of reserve force? Weekend warrior, that kind of thing? If you're activated do you have to leave your job and family for a set amount of time?
I was in the militia when I was seventeen but I didn't much like it. Too many people telling me what to do when I didn't want to do it.

GhengisFarb™ · December 3, 2003, 20:32

Yep, weekend warrior, except we got called up in May and are on permanent assignment until June.

What is Masuro's email?

marcuspeddle · December 3, 2003, 21:52

marcuspeddle · December 3, 2003, 21:57

bfg9000, aren't you playing Cordova? The save you posted is for Cordova, not the Abassids.

Sorry for the delay, I've been working on Bank Your Booty and lost track of time.

Sent to CerberusIV.

CerberusIV · December 7, 2003, 18:10

GhengisFarb™ · December 7, 2003, 19:38

Did the Danes raze a French city?

The Danes are unspeakable barbarians who just started a 203 turn war with France. (If they last that long)

marcuspeddle · December 8, 2003, 06:42

Good, that'll distract the both of you from coming to Jerusalem

Don't count on it.

SirOsis · December 8, 2003, 12:06

The Danes are taking what is rightfully theirs from the French infidels.

GhengisFarb™ · December 8, 2003, 13:15

The Danes don't have any reason to go to Jerusalem, only the Germans, Franks, and English KaNiggit types have Holy Relics.

But they can pick up the relic and turn in into Jerusalem themselves for 10k victory points, correct?

Harovan · December 8, 2003, 15:18

Yes he can.

So will we continue to discuss who razed what and who will attack whom in the future, or will we continue to play? Who has the save?

CerberusIV · December 8, 2003, 16:44

I sent to SirOsis so it is with him unless he has already sent it on.

SirOsis · December 8, 2003, 16:46

I sent it on to the cordovans. Should I use your new email or the old one?

I sent it to geobru at fastmail ca.
