I still have the save btw

rah · July 16, 2003, 08:10

I'd figure you'd have multiple copies of that save.

Ming · July 16, 2003, 12:33

Yep... Onion Island will never be forgotten...

Any other good tales from the front that might create the next Onion Island

rah · July 16, 2003, 13:51

Just pick any Aussie discussion about bribing?

Alexander's Horse · July 16, 2003, 21:14

You guys are really trying a little too hard.

Nuh. Just pick any Horse and Deity in-game, um, discussion about borders.

War4ever · July 16, 2003, 21:46

lol...borders are there to be broken...once you realize that ..... the arguements stop

finbar · July 16, 2003, 22:56

True. But our games stop for a couple of hours while they, um, negotiate their borders. The borders get breached much much much much much much much much much later. In fact, sometimes, they never actually get to breach them because they've never actually come to agreement on them.

Ming · July 17, 2003, 00:19

Agreements... what are those

Alexander's Horse · July 17, 2003, 00:36

We don't play your one night stand style civ.

Ming · July 17, 2003, 00:45

We didn't really have agreements in our old long term games either. Borders were what you could enforce, not what you could negotiate

True, but negotiations are king if there is a balance of power.

Alexander's Horse · July 17, 2003, 07:44

Its this kind of attitude that got you Yanks into all that trouble in Iraq.

rah · July 17, 2003, 08:11

Yep. It's like having a border with Berz. You don't pay attention for a sec, and you open a few city screens to do maint. and all of them now show cities in range.

Hydey · July 17, 2003, 08:44

Ming · July 17, 2003, 11:04

Yep... borders for us are any place you can sneak a city in... even if it's on that gold square somebody is using

War4ever · July 17, 2003, 23:28

or across the river over the hills and into the valley...and within city range.....

again, borders are what you can control NOT what you agree to

Ming · July 18, 2003, 01:17

Any city on a river is likely to see the pre worked fortress appear next to it with a bunch of units piling into it

Alexander's Horse · July 18, 2003, 01:30

Your idea of fun....

he he

I think everyone is missing Horse's and my gentle discussions... but he's still not talking to me

deity · July 18, 2003, 02:53

When he hosts he sends IP's via the other players !!

deity · July 18, 2003, 03:04

I missed the earlier part of this thread. Great stuff Makeo! You always add excitement to games.

In fact you sound almost as excitable as the time you started bribing my ships from the land in the ONION ISLAND GAME... you said you were bouncing out of your chair

Do you realise that finbar has never attacked me???
But he clearly declared war on me in the Onion game... as Makeo's ally.

And that last post was before I read this smart arse remark

finbar · July 18, 2003, 03:06

Gee, lucky some of the others are still talking to you or you'd be playing with yourself.

Everyone else seems to think I'm good for a game.. it's only you and Horsie that get uptight
