Hey Hydey, we're not bickering. It's a bit hard when Horse won't talk to me... sent the IP by TWO carrier pigeons last night

deity · July 18, 2003, 20:56

Getting back to the thread, who were you playing against in this game Makeo? Looks like it was Euros?

This is a good example for the rest of the world

How 2 adults with some communication can sort out their differences.

Actually, they might have been parrots, not sure...

Better check they haven't pooped in my Satellite dish....

I tried to talk to him some time back. I said "Hi" and his reply was *cough* ... but nothing for weeks now....

Not even biting in the threads.

Pretty ridiculous from someone who's had dinner with us.

I'm a little surprised also. I'm still friends with a few guys that we had girl problems over. Fighting over women is much more charged than fighting over a game. Our rational was that it's easier to find new women than new friends.

Are you saying that women are more important than Civ?? I'm disappointed, RAH...

I've seen tables tipped over, items broken, and people thrown out of the house over a game.

But not over a woman...

The GEEK level has just been raised.

well games are a serious business.

Ming · July 21, 2003, 12:12

Yep... just ask my wife

DrSpike · July 21, 2003, 12:43

Fortunately there is just about enough room for both games and girlfriends (or wives for the oldsters

), so there is no need to choose.

its bollocks. its not even very interesting. everyone except deity expanded and explored so deity ended up having no land. when he eventually discovered triremes in about 1500ad and found an island he claimed it as his own even though finbar had about 20 size 30 cities on it.

since finbar is peaceful and trusting and had a peace treaty with deity the island was lightly defended.
so deity the fascist warmonger that he is invaded and captured the island.

see, told you it wasn't very interesting.

Even he has now conceded the spotless reputation was always bullsh*t.

Gee, Carolus, there's an Australian Rules football team with the same colours as your flag. And you thought you had absolutely no cosmic connection with Australia.

Alexander's Horse · July 21, 2003, 21:18

I take Carolus's post as a sign we have a dedicated band of lurkers here.

I was in this game and somehow the way you describe it does not ring a bell at all.

Yeah, I have to admit that I find the Aussie threads quite entertaining.

Overall, the MP forum seems to have turned into an "Aussie + Moderators and friends" - spam fest.

There was a time when Australian Open (tennis) was tantamount to the Swedish National Championships...

Overall, it's the Moderators + friends who do the spamming while we Australians have to do the moderating.
