i will have too...so much is built up now...my mother is more worried about me reporting back

rah · May 28, 2003, 10:49

Hey Ming, Since I don't seem to remember, when do you think the next vote will start? So we don't get a late start.

Ming · May 28, 2003, 11:00

I never remember... a couple of months I think... who knows.

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 11:39

isnt it like every two -three???

rah · May 28, 2003, 11:43

Just as long as we post it here as soon as we see it. But it's always nice to start the ball rolling on some people, since it sometimes helps them pick up steam.

Ming · May 28, 2003, 11:48

Since for some "strange reason" I pay VERY close attention to the OTF, I'll notice it the minute he does it again... and then post it here.

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 11:49

thanks ming, this time we can rally the troops and get some more mpers in

Ming · May 28, 2003, 11:54

Just trying to help the on topic folks since we seem to be at a distinct disadvantage

atawa · May 28, 2003, 12:21

We get to spam our way to deity in MP and DG forums though, something the OT people will never be able to do

Ming · May 28, 2003, 12:22

Well yeah... but many of them have found true spam heaven... The community forum

atawa · May 28, 2003, 12:24

We get both

Ming · May 28, 2003, 12:28

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 14:02

many of them also got their high post counts by spamming in the OTF when it did count too....

something i didnt' do...mine is pure civ2

rah · May 28, 2003, 14:16

And some of us refuse to lower ourselves to join DGs.

RAH

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 14:51

yes but i am playing in the game..so its not lowering, and some people hang out too much in the mod forums.. or set up offices in different forums

rah · May 28, 2003, 17:54

hang out in the mod forums too much.

To get a post there, you have to almost ban someone or volunteer for more work. And sometimes you get extra work without even volunteering. (hence my new office)

It's a cinch I don't do that for the post count. That's a lot of reading material, and I'll probably end up buying the game. I've had so much success with rts games.

'Sir, oh sir, your country was just destroyed', 'oh, I was out having a smoke, did something happen'.

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 18:10

good thing i can't drop a nuke in civ on you when your smoking..you would find your civ destroyed...

Really? I always suspected that Mark's 17,000 relied a lot on private forum posts.

atawa · May 28, 2003, 18:19

I havent seem much posts of him anyway outside the community forum.

Then again, this one and DG take about 90% of my polytime

/me minister of science

War4ever · May 28, 2003, 18:32

i dont' like rts much either..some is ok...but its such a click fest

Ming · May 28, 2003, 18:35

Nahhh... Mark posts A LOT On Topic.

I'm the one posting the most in the mod room, since I do most of the banning

And rah is correct... making a spam post in the forum can lead to a heavier work load.

You are almost afraid to look at new threads by Mark with your name in the title

But does he though? A few posts in the A/C plus assorted civ posts..............17,000 is a fat wodge of posts mind. As co-owner he could just add a few thou every now and again.

Hehe probably you are right and I am just in a cynical mood; I've never bothered to check it out properly........it was just a thought at the back of my mind that was prompted out by Rah's post.

Yeah, quite a few times I'll come back from a smoke and have missed something. And then do something stupid.
Like researching pottery after someone has already built HG.
Attacking someone thinking I still had the suprise bonus. (particularly embarassing)
Wondering why I didn't get the free tech from PHilo, because someone has already done it.
Not realizing that everyone already has an embassy with me.

Smoking is obviously dangerous for your CIV.

RAH

War4ever · May 29, 2003, 11:29

yes, while smoking isn't my downfall, watching tv between turns..or chasing my stupid cats is......

those things you mention i always chalked up to senior moments....but know i understand the true reason

He manages to play GalCiv and RoN quite a bit from what I've seen.

Rah, I'm surprised they didn't promote ixnay instead of giving you more work

Ming · May 30, 2003, 03:41

Mark plays the new games... But I think his new assignment to the militay will slow that down

Ixnay has enough to keep him busy... Rah was only modding the OTF.

Hydey · May 30, 2003, 03:44

My greek friend has told me some interesting stories about military service in the greek army.
