Turn sent to Makahlua

I've emailed you both your passwords. You can change these by pressing alt-d during your turn. I hope everyone is okay with the settings.

Good luck guys!

(edit: I really hope I set this up correctly!)

Aplogies for the delay, we had a huuuge stormfront come through and cut off my power for a few hours >_<

Turn's on the way to NM! :)

NicodaMax
March 20, 2006, 11:39
Ok, game was received in email at work, so I'll be able to play the turn and send it along at 19:00 UTC-4 (7 hours from now). Normally I'll be able to play the turns in the morning before going to work if makahlua sends it after I went to sleep, but I'm usually awake until 1 or 2 am.

Now that I think of it, the logical order would have been
Andydog (UTC)
NicodaMax (UTC-4)
Makahlua (UTC-6)
but its ok ;)

Andydog
March 23, 2006, 02:30
Yes quite right, this order does make more sense. I've set up a new game and fired it off to you NicodaMax. (Ignore the first one with the new turn order I sent the other day, somehow another human made its way in there).

So hopefully we're away at last folks! :)

"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know – and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance." -- Isaac Asimov

And on to Andydog it goes :b:

Not sure if I agree with that quote. Sure knowledge is good, but not if it ultimately leads to your destruction, surely.

I played the turn (3400 BC) but apparently never sent it. Where was my head at the time? Really sorry. And I was wondering why you where taking so long...:blush:

Makahlua
April 10, 2006, 07:32
I was going to poke, but figured maybe you got caught up in Real Life(tm) :)

Turn over to Andydog

And a PS about my quote: Think of all the evil things we can do with something as simple as fire. Yet without fire, where would we be? Then apply that to more complex things like vaccines, or our knowledge of chemistry - both can be used for good, positive purposes or darkly evil ones. Knowledge is a double-edged sword - it's up to the wielder to know when and when not to use it ... (at least that's what that quote makes -me- think :) )

Andydog
April 10, 2006, 12:35
yes i agree knowledge is a double edged sword. i took from the quote that even though we will loose control of knowledge such that it will ultimately destroy us, it still isn't a bad thing. i'm not sure i agree with that.

April 15, 2006, 08:49
Just a thought for the weekend

"Do you think that when christ is lying there and they're nailing the nails in he's saying, "Oh man, does that hurt!"?
He's probably looking at the guy who's doing it with absolute compassion
He digs why the cat's doing it.
What he's stuck in
How much dust covers his eyes
Why he's got to be doing it
That's the way it is
He said the night before:
"Well, tomorrow is the big trip. Yeah-right-these are the nails
Wow! Look at that!"
Am I he who is being pained?
No! That's the thing. Once you know that then:
pleasure & pain, loss & gain, fame & shame, are all the same
They're all just happening" - Baba Ram Dass (aka Richard Alpert)

ps. This isn't religously motivated, and neither am I...;)

NicodaMax
April 19, 2006, 07:32
Just checked my email, and the file I received from Andydog was 3280 BC (18/04 3:12am) ??

Andydog
April 19, 2006, 07:35

Makahlua
April 19, 2006, 13:48
Before the weekend I got : NicodaMax_to_Makahlua_BC-3280.Civ4SavedGame

Yesterday I got: Galloping_Grasshoppers_BC-3280_to_Makahlua.Civ4SavedGame

Same turn, differnt names b/c of the patch. So one of youse guys has got the Real Deal hiding in your PBEM folder :)

NicodaMax
April 19, 2006, 20:46
Since it was the first time I played this game (Galloping Grasshoppers) with the 1.61 patch there's only one file in my pbem folder (Galloping_Grasshoppers_BC-3280_to_Makahlua.Civ4SavedGame) which is the one I sent to Makahlua

Rodders had a shitter of a game. Poor bugger, something always goes wrong with him when the pressure is on. Problem is we have nobody else really up for the no 8 spot.

The problem with the ingame emailer is playing and forgetting to post.

Andydog
September 28, 2006, 15:35
Its a pain in the arse getting ingame emails on gmail. It changes the subject line each time with turn date and so conversations aren't nicely grouped.

A Hot Custard party, as saucy as it sounds, is a party organised by a sporting organisation called Hot Custard's. They run rugby teams, netball teams, and cricket teams. Saturday was their end of year blar-up, so many drinking games, many tequilas, and many :wall:'s.

Mickeyj

And there I was thinking it had to do with sickly sweet custard drinks :wall:

--->maki

Andydog
November 21, 2006, 19:25
in fact, there were a few of those going around. big clumps of custard in a shot glass surrounded by strong alcohol. the first few shots were horrible, but after them surprisingly, they started getting nicer.

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Mickeyj
November 22, 2006, 03:08
I don't believe that could be possible, sounds worse than custard larger.
