Yeah, I'm available... but...

My wife has informed me again that I have to take my little one to swimming class between 8EDST and 8:50EDST. This "only once in awhile" event seems to have popped up again.

Like before, I'll be home early, so if everybody would like to start, than take a dinner break...

What can I say. I wasn't too pleased when my Wife dropped this one on me... AGAIN!

Bird · April 12, 2000, 09:56

I'm in. Where's War4 been lately?
Like I said last week, I don't mind starting around 7:00 or 7:15 or so EDST and taking a break for Ming, but I'd like to know ahead of time what we're going to do so I don't rush home from work if I don't have to.

Let me know.

Matthew · April 12, 2000, 10:23

I can be home by 5:30 central if necessary. maybe earlier.

rah · April 12, 2000, 11:25

XIN, War4 ??

RAH

I'll be avail by 5:30 cst

Ming · April 12, 2000, 18:27

I got an ICQ from War4ever... he is still having problems with his apolyton password... Plus, he is working too hard and will not be able to join us tonight.

So if somebody could find us a sub....

rah · April 12, 2000, 19:56

I think Berzerker is going to be a real nice guy and sub for war4 again. High probability. See you all in 50 minutes. Icq me when you're ready, and as soon as ming is back i'll go hot and send ip.

RAH

April 12, 2000, 20:42

Next time War4 is not available, send me an icq, I'd Love to play for him

His empires need more style.

Bird · April 12, 2000, 20:49

Sorry. leaving work now. Will be home in 20-25 minutes. Go ahead and start and I'll hot join, but please delay and don't let the ai play for me. *speeds off*

rah · April 12, 2000, 20:51

AH, it would be fun to see you disband his mountain cities.

RAH

April 12, 2000, 21:42

Actually, um, I build mountain cities - but don't tell anyone on the civ general forum

Ming · April 12, 2000, 22:03

Don't worry... I won't

HA HA HA HA HA!

Xin Yu · April 13, 2000, 00:42

I cannot take a day or half a day off for every Wednesday, so today I have to stay in office till 5pm PST. We can start when Ming comes back.

Ming · April 13, 2000, 00:50

Gee, why not Xin. Isn't Civ more important than work?

Now we need to hear from War4ever...
See you all tonight once I get back from swimming...

Ming · April 13, 2000, 13:14

"I built TOO MANY wonders"?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
You probably thought you were playing against the AI

Nothing wrong with that. Since it seems you were locked in with really no place to expand, what else were you going to do...

That was fun last night. I hope my wife will be able to handle the swimming lesson next week.

Canadian War Beaver · April 13, 2000, 17:00

hi guys sorry i have been so busy and lost my password, anyways here is the new monicker..... Rah you should appreciate this one more than the others and yes i had to include war in there somewher

Ming · April 13, 2000, 18:26

If you would like, I will delete your old log on... and this one... and then you can register again under your original name. I'll even ask if Mark will restore your post count. Let me know. And don't worry, Bezerker is doing a great job for you in the game

Yes, he's doing a terrific job for you. In fact, he's actually managed to hold on to 3 of the 6 cities you had when you left, and even managed to hold on to Home base until the 2nd to last turn last night.

Canadian War Beaver · April 13, 2000, 18:43

gr..... oh well serves me right for not playing

and Ming i appreciate your ideas but i am fine with this new monicker and the lack of post count

.....

After all, the important people i know will realize it is me anyways especially with the same email and icq #..... as for gaming , i refuse to pick up anymore shifts on my day off......hope you guys have been having fun without me and i look forward to letting my beavers run rampid..... just think an alliance of beavers and ferrets LOL

Dont' let the name fool you, its still War4ever

Xin Yu · April 13, 2000, 18:56

Hey, War, Matt was kidding. Actually your civ was kicking butts and way ahead in tech (almost got nuke). I had the embassy you know, so I knew it. All other civs only got musketeers.

Canadian War Beaver · April 13, 2000, 19:14

kewl then.... so i am not taking a dirt nap then..... and how is my ally the burrowing ferret doing ?

Ming · April 13, 2000, 20:26

The Beaver/Ferret alliance is just kicking but. Repelling attacks, racking up sciences with the GL.. I think you guys have all the key wonders. Should be nuking our mideval units in the near future. We can't wait for you to come back and take your rightful role... and help even things out

Canadian War Beaver · April 13, 2000, 20:31

nukes did someone say nukes !!!! can i push the little button ..... PLEASE

i felt so macho last time

Xin Yu · April 14, 2000, 00:54

I got only 9 cities, second to last, but civ score was the first. Must be the wonders. I built too many wonders this game.

rah · April 14, 2000, 08:31

Just love the new name. CWB

All these people must have been playing a different game. I think there has been only one new city for your civ in the last two sessions.

Yes we have more techs, but other civs are ahead of us on some of the critical paths.

Kicking butt, hahahahahha The americans/canandians didn't even show up on the powergraph

The last sessions was spent defending against hoards of musketeers from Bubba. (Your valiant sub did manage to steal gunpower before the hoard arrived.) The hoard did not fare well. HAHAHAHHAHA

All the good wonders. GL JS SWA Shakes. Not quite all the good wonders. (You'll love the story how we got screwed on MC)

To Bubba and Ming, Beware the English and the Vikings.

To XIN and Bird, Beware the Mongo.... alliances.

Yeah, that will work.

RAH
Ferrets and Beavers forever.

Ming · April 14, 2000, 09:33

Well CWB, maybe the next time you push the button, you will avoid killing your own troops, and maybe even take the city you nuked

And Rah... don't worry, we know who the real enemies are

Bird · April 14, 2000, 10:06

What happened with MC? (Since I got it, I'm particularly curious.)

Ming · April 18, 2000, 08:59

Well, it's Tuesday. I will be around at a reasonable time on Wednesday. I don't have to do the "kid swimming" thing.

So post here if and when...

Hope to see you all on Wednesday

Bird · April 18, 2000, 10:02

Sounds like we might be able to start a little earlier, although xin probably holds the key here. I can be home any time after 7:00 eastern.

I still want to know what happened with MC, rah??

Yeah Rah... tell him. You had me LMAO with that one. Let's just say you were lucky to build it Bird

Matthew · April 19, 2000, 00:55

As the days grow longer the semester draweth nigh unto it's end. And there is yet much physics to be done. Even an exceeding great ammount of physics to be done. Thus it must needs be that he who doeth physics in the night must needs do physics Wednesday night.

So hear, oh Ming, and give ear, thou brother of RAH. It must needs be that we should find a sub, yea, even one worthy to take over from my hand for a season. Consider well the plan I did mention unto thee. In all seriousness did I mention it, and facecious was I not.
Let he who subbeth for he who doeth physics in the night be a perfectionist of talent, yet also one who knoweth how to expand. For as the sands of the seashore must the Mongols become. Whosoever would sub for Matthew, let him speak here that I might contact him regarding geopolitical strategy.
