call me whatever u want. Its just that my first account name wasnt really well thought out (I have a habit of looking around my room and coming up with random words of account names) and figured I should change it. Anyways, now I realize I was trying to avoid anything that reminded me of dread clac classes but I still somehow ended up with an account name that is relevant to math! (I was totally thinking of the megaman character when I renamed it... as u can see from avatar.) oh cruel fate.

Custom avatar time!!!

(This is my 500th post)

Hot_Enamel · May 20, 2003, 22:09

And here is our temporary semi-private Team Forum

Here is the Link

Note that the blasted historian has already defaced it

Konquest02 · May 21, 2003, 06:54

A nice monkey avatar.

Hey hey, it's the Monkees!

Team Song:

Hey, hey we're the monkeys,
People say we monkey around,
But we're too busy civin,
To put anybody down.

Zero · May 21, 2003, 23:02

I cant post in MZO cause I cant register w/ my email (it says I already have it but when I attempt password recovery it says that email doesnt have account

)

But somehow I can see the forum. Is it really secured forum?

Hot_Enamel · May 21, 2003, 23:22

I dont think it is secure yet
The honour system will keep the other teams out.
I dont think we are discussing anything really confidential yet anyway

PM Master Zen .. he will sort out your password

Master Zen · May 21, 2003, 23:55

Sorry for butting in, but here's the deal on the forums on MZO:

they are not yet private. I am trying to use a user-group system instead of a password system which is more flexible and secure. However, I need a list of the members who have registered at MZO so I can add them to the groups.

As for Zero, have you already registered? PM me here or at MZO with your problem and I'll try and solve it. It's probably a password problem which should be no big trouble.

Hot_Enamel · May 22, 2003, 00:04

Zero / Calc

Can you edit the first page.

Using the member list, write next to the name if they have regisetered at MZO.

ie

hot_enamel (registered as hot_enamel in MZO)
Konquest02 (registered as Konquest02 in MZO)

There are the only two I know about so far.
Everyone else...post in this thread your MZO name

Zero · May 22, 2003, 00:38

Zero - Nova Monkey

MrWhereItsAt · May 28, 2003, 06:05

Hmmm.... my avatar needs little changing if I were to join this team....

Hot_Enamel · May 28, 2003, 09:19

So long as you can hurl monkey poo with any accuracy --- you are in.

Here... have one of Beta's armpit lice I was saving for a special occasion.

Hot_Enamel · May 30, 2003, 00:26

Team Monkey ...

We have been called upon to make a civilisation choice

We have had some minor discussion at our MZO Forum

Do we wish to coose our civ in private ? Or make it an open discussion in this thread ?

Konquest02 · May 30, 2003, 12:03

Let's choose RANDOM!

Zero · May 30, 2003, 16:17

Im back folks.

MWIA, ur welcomed to join. If MWIA joins us, we'll be 9 hairy stinky monekeys. Then we'll only need just one more to be automatically qualified for PTWDG!

Has any team made it to the 10 member mark yet? Maybe we can try to be the first.

Don't we get a private forum here on Apolyton?
Uh, I visited the MZO just once, you know.

History Guy · May 30, 2003, 22:36

I'd ask the same.

Hot_Enamel · May 31, 2003, 08:10

Just to just to get moving, MZO gave us our own forum, so we can discuss a few thing in semi-private.

Some of the teams are using them...some of them are not.

No big deal...

If we want to choose a civ or discuss the team set up in private, we can use MZO, or wait for private forums here.

I dont mind either way.

Note: The MZO forums are not private. But ours is clearly marked.

MrWhereItsAt · June 3, 2003, 09:38

Sorry guys - I have little in common with man's closest cousin beyond my avatar.

I am a Latino Lover.

Hot_Enamel · June 4, 2003, 20:34

Does anyone have preferences over our Civ Choice ??

Some discussion has been made on MZO, but it has not progessed very far.

Some suggestions so far are..

French (Good Traits)
Carthage, Vikings (Closest leaderhead that looks like a Monkey)
Random
Russia (Monkey like qualities (Sci/Exp))

I personally like French, but random is fine....which pretty much means I will play with whatever Civ is eventually chosen.

Perhaps random...but with Korea eliminated (too hard to get a GA) ?

Feel free to toss in ideas...

Also...Does anyone wants to design an icon to represent our clan.

These are the dimensions required:
Width 15 pixels
Height 19 pixels

mrmitchell · June 6, 2003, 13:59

I'm thinking of joining, but is there any reason to join this group over Team MSS or Team Monty Python?

BTW I have lots of ideas for the forestation idea.

First of all, we are the ultimate joke team: True CoD was the official first team to be created that doesnt take things seriously, but my idea was proposed waaay before PTWDGII starting going!

Secondly, You get to act like a monkey: be rude and throw poo at them, just act dumb/silly or be an intelligent scheming monkey just like mojo jojo.. or all three!

You get to have fun talking about bananas all day

I envision out team being uncontrollable wild beasts like monkeys should be! (aka threadjacking, throwing poo and making mess of other ppls public forums... Just imagine what Chris Kattan does in SNL to what we will do in this forum!

)

Monkeys sure know how to throw one ****ing wild party!

Forestation policy will add extreme twist to the playing style. Think about it, normally PTW games will run in a boring dry cut manner with everyone acting out for their own benefits and goal to win. By adding forestation into the issue, diplomacy will never be same as it was played before. We might have to goto war with someone that might be in our best interest to ally, concede some territories/forest in exchange for forests/territory etc.

Frankly, I think every team in PTWDG II should have a higher goal than playing to win to spice up the game.

mrmitchell · June 7, 2003, 22:26

Sorry, in the end I decided Team Tabemono over Team Monkey, but trust me, it came down close. Actually it came down to a coin flip, and at the end I considered, "Well, a regular monkey couldn't flip a coin anyways, so I guess I'll be a gluttonous fool and partake in the rather literal feast of life."

However, I support forestation 100% and will be pushing for it in my own team, at least as an agreement with Team Monkey not to deforest.

(Watch, we'll both land up in the jungle anyways.

)

I always suspected you were noble of heart.

Greenpeace supports Team Monkey.

BigFree · June 8, 2003, 20:08

This team needs to make some decisions pronto! Check the team registry thread.

Hot_Enamel · June 8, 2003, 21:27

Hmmm.

Decisions must be made then...

2 votes for random on MZO - Konquest02 & hot_Enamel
"A leaning towards either Russia or Carthage" - Zero
"I say Carthage. Their leaderhead got much hair in his face" - ThePlagueRat

So random is winning at the moment with a massive 2 votes.
{Edit} actually Carthage could also be considered winning... We need another vote to break the tie

Team Leader is Zero until we can have eltections

Tean Colour is Brown

Temporary Icon is

Post your thoughts now... last chance

Great, thats good to hear.

Zero · June 8, 2003, 21:33

Im gonna finalize my vote into Carthage because of the industrial trait.

Since Latin lover also wants Carthage my second vote would be the vikings. (catherine just doesnt have enough facial hair

)

EDIT: on second thought, Abu also has a bit of facial himself and i prefer rel over mil.... :hmm:
