Good Luck everyone

There wouldn't be a senventh tribe by any chanse?

Chris 62 · May 6, 2001, 14:10

Not for this one, Henrik. The 7th spot (Galicians) are at an extreme disadvantage, so we decided to let the AI handle them.

Good ideas always deserve a second chance

Hey cpoulos, how was the sentence that Hannibal Smith (the A team) used to say? In Spanish it was more or less "so glad the plan comes nicely along", but I seem to recall the English original was better.

Always the Catalans making everything bad, Jordi (note for non Spanish: Catalonian name of George and Catalonian president) Castilia is too a part of Spain, but I understand you if you are afraid of my power

Exile · May 8, 2001, 18:18

Well, apparently I did send it to Kindal, though my message said Fiera. I was very sick yesterday, in the throes of a terrific fever, so some wires got crossed. At least it did get sent to the right person.

Sorry, I'm biased against K's and X's...

Exile · May 9, 2001, 16:10

Ok, I just sent the file to KIndal (I hope). I tried once, but got a mailer-daemon thing right back, so made the attempt again. I'll check back in a few hours to see if the file got through to the right person. My apologies for the mix-up, fever-induced delirium has addled me temporarily. I'll try to get online again before midnight, but I need some rest now.
