Six Thousand Year Old Man · March 26, 2003, 09:42

Congratulations, [1]!!

Had we but known, we could have left you 2 dozen vet crusaders as a present... oops, dang it, can't leave the island anyway

Scouse Gits · March 26, 2003, 11:30

The crooks would have been sweet - but such is life...

SG[1],

Congratulations you Old Dog!!

This news makes me very happy for you!!

I pray that you and 'She Who' have a long, happy and fulfilling life together and that all your dreams come to be. Blessings and Best Wishes, all ways.

Idle querry: Does she know much about your RAR alter??

[1] -- my best as well

-- at least I left you a few coins & a couple of days if you want to squeeze in some game time early.

But take it from someone who’s been married for half a life, good gaming doesn’t interfere with a good relationship/marriage…and of course, a good relationship/marriage doesn’t interfere (much) with good gaming.

I assume that the future SWMBO has already been exposed to the family secret/DL Wonder and will not become a MWHC...

Here's a tip... don't try to play on your honeymoon.

Congratulations, SG [1]!

How long have you known?

Good luck and God bless.

Thank you all

Geez... I don't visit this thread for a few days, and you run off and get MARRIED??!! I didn't realize you missed me that much...

(but I thought you were already married to Civ...

I assume that's some sort of cohabitation without benefit of marriage,
but never encountered this expression before...
Etymology?

Scouse Gits · March 27, 2003, 15:03

-JRabbit ... never mind the Etymology ... I have to make a speech. Anyone got any good Best/Worst Man Jokes?

Don't let the Rodent see them:
My email: ivorprint@talk21.com

It would be nice to have some input from you guys

Scouse Gits · March 27, 2003, 15:09

I'm uncertain, but I believe it stems from the bush that hung outside medieval inns to denote their status - so people 'living over the bush' occupied rooms in these inns oftimes illicitly.

Yes - I have required my 'seconds' to perform the ritual character assassination of the groom - so help (2) out.

Careful... [1] may have mellowed since becoming a married man, but he was very emphatic that it was HIS turn, last week

Look 5 posts up

Bloody Monk · April 2, 2003, 18:46

Oh, I saw that. I was more impacted by the date on the post. Good taste compels against speculating about the cause of the delay; but, whatever, it has been nearly a week.

So,

The honeymoon can wait...

Actually, if they "

" the honeymoon should be completed...

Bloody Monk · April 3, 2003, 11:47

Clearly, the Rabbit point of view is "one" dimensional; whereas, I believe, the RAR will have planned a layered approach to the campaign with multiple vectors of exploitation.

Actually, I am not so concerned about the delay as I have been quite ill the past week and could not play either. It would be nice to have a "I'm on the case" post, or, so I do suppose.

Scouse Gits · April 3, 2003, 13:56

Don't panic ... the Gits will complete their turns tomorrow night

I was down to finish it myself - but along came two other games that had to be played.

OK you guys - I'm back - married, but unbowed (he lies) - the delay was caused more by frantic exam setting than by nuptuals, but such is life....

==========

0660 = Bewilderment - we have no trade routes to speak of - no harbours - NO FLOWERS - and the AI are abrim with useful techs - let us diplome - but first - Lux to 40% rush Aqueduct in Mean City get celebration there - now -- Romans - Seafaring - We can build Harbours -- Spanish - Mathematics -- Gift an Encarta to the Indians - tech multiplier 30 (we started with Bronze) - someone has been rehoming caravans!!! :bad: This is NO LONGER ALLOWED - OK it wasn't in the rules, but we didn't think we needed to say that!!! some tickling

0680 = Aqueduct in Mean City; Gold, Pool of Grace-Mean City, 28g; Gold, Sticky Meanie - Heaven's Gate, 28g; tickle
0700 = much tickling
0720 = Harbour in Mean City; much tickling;
0740 = Wine, Maxwell's Hammer - Mean City, 50g; and much tickling; Science back to 50%; Wine(d), Bad leroy Brown-Beggarsville, 54g;
0760 = Library in Mean City now size 12; lux to 20 science to 70; much tickling;
0780 = tickling
0800 = Medicine->Astronomy; tickling
0820 = Library in Pool of Grace; tickle
0840 = minor tickle
0860 = Salt (rehomed), Mean City - Antium, 146g; Spice, Mean City - Antium, 150g; tickle
0880 = Astronomy-> Banking; Dye(d), Mean City - Antium, 300g; Americans - Banking & maps; Gold, Mean City - Antium, 150g; frantic tickling
0900 = Copernicus' Observatory in Mean City; tickle
0920 = tickle;
0940 = Temple in Maxwell's Hammer; University in Mean City;

0980 = Theory of Gravity->Navigation; tickle
1000 = tickle

1040 = Gems, Sticky Meanie-Ur, 452g;

;
1060 = Navigation->Sanitation; MarketPlace in Pool of Grace; Salt, Maxwell's Hammer-Mean City (unblocking), 27g;

Sanitation is a quarter of the way in; Shake's builds on the turn; Mean City scheduled for explosive development after Sewer System & Bank (hint, hint); triremes coming home to disband into Caravels for ship chain to Rome (hint, hint, hint); Food caravans on the way for Ike's - looks pretty good - we fancy getting to Commie & building a zillion vet spies prior to Jihad.

We actually played most of these turns on my [1] 'Stag Night' - sad sad people that we are!

The Gits once more in concert and only half way through the second

We played 20 turns so please play 10 turns each now.

Ididntdoit!

But, yeah... I would have though that 'no rehoming vans' was up there in the same rules strata as 'no reloading bad huts'...

La Fayette · April 4, 2003, 18:38

Caravan rehoming is allowed in CFC's GOTMs.
Someone probably got mixed up

Bloody Monk · April 4, 2003, 21:18

The Monk has the ball. Will play tomorrow, I hope.

What's caravan rehoming??

Monk

SCG · April 5, 2003, 09:00

just out of curiousity - i bribed a caravan in the no science game - it was in one of our city limits, so it was supported from one of our cities. Is there a ruling for if we bribe a caravan and it turns out to be NON? (thats the only time i ever rehome a caravan)

I understand what you have done and your hints are well taken...except the bit about disbanding triremes. Is this because the Lighthouse will go out pretty soon, making them landhuggers again??

I suppose you tried to get Invention from the Greens and they declined while working on Leo's?? Or did you defer swapping techs because the Germs have Great Lib??

How valuable is the alliance with Purple?? You didn't mention any "gifts" from them. Getting them to disband will put our trireme on jets, allowing for quicker disposal.

Finally, what happened with the Americans?? A few turns back we exchanged maps, now we are at war??

Just a few questions.

Hope you don't mind and can get back soon.
