Oh, okay quinns. As for there being time for an alternate solution, I agree. I don't beleive that war is the only option beyond diplomacy.

After all, we're probably not even going to actually declare war on Iraq. Why, then, do we trifle with the Geneva restriction of assassination?

geoffrey arnold · February 7, 2003, 18:20

Lets hope

checkMate · February 7, 2003, 18:37

Actually I would prefer to see Sadam only "extracted." But for some reason this is against the rules, apparently the convention on war says that it is better to have tens or even hundreds of thousands killed in war rather than to mess with another countries sovereignty by assasination or otherwise removing the leadership.

*In the Background, the Ode to Joy starts coming up*

For a different topic of discussion.

Thud has now reached his 500th post!

*music is now very loud and celebratory*

*loud cheering, eventualy Thud motions for the applaud to quiet*

Yes, thank you. I am glad to have been a member of this community, and to have joined the ranks of those-with-avatars. Thus I announce a tremendous party to celebrate!

*more cheers*

* mrmitchell jumps on the oppurtunity to spam up!

Really however.

Shouldn't we keep this to team bonding? I mean, it is just an OTF that counts for posts. No fooling.

Frozzy, you're...a...uh...you...

Frozzy, you make sure you always use your modship powers to the fullest extent.

Frozzy · February 8, 2003, 22:26

Mitch, the whole point of this thread was to bond, get to know eachother better and discuss current events... but no spam, please. The last thing we want is Ming coming over and closing it, as that won't look good on my, and especially Locutus' record.

Quickbeam3 · February 11, 2003, 09:20

Ok on the whole bonding getting to know you stuff.

I like going to the cinema to see the latest films with my mates and enjoy computer games mainly stratergy.

What do you lot all like to do

PS Nothing daft like walking your pet three legged, blind salamander.

checkMate · February 11, 2003, 21:11

I like playing Chess (duh) and CTP

I'm 43 been married now 18 years, and have a daghter 14 years old.

Work as an electrical engineer, but really mostly just a hack programmer.

Get a fair number of chances a year to travel to California and Minnesota. Enjoy "short" trips.

And do like movies as well. That is just about my 2nd favorite contact sport after CTP.

I'll go reading...... seems very interesting.

Remeber me of what was called QuinnsCo a few years ago. Hell we got lots of (good) ideas then for a new game.

However I can't reveal anything as I do not know, if the people behind continued after the idea-brainstorm. If you are interested in knowing more, then ask Quinns/Franses. They might/might not be able to tell you more.

Frozzy · February 12, 2003, 02:54

* Frozzy does the Quinns ritual-call dance *

quinns · February 12, 2003, 18:56

Quinnco ... Yes, we had some good ideas for a very good game. But good ideas, though very important, are relatively easy. It is in making the ideas come to fruition that is the real hard part (as you all know

) I really believe that if we could have made it happen, the Quinnco Game would have been much better than any of the Civ series games. Easier said than done, though.

Hol-rock · February 12, 2003, 20:22

slight change of subject, but England 1-3 Australia How embarrassing (No offence Auzzies you played well - we didn't)

Mr. President · February 13, 2003, 00:02

Australia gets the results in the friendlies. What happens in the World Cup qualifiers?

But, I do think it can't be good for team cohesion that the national team only assembles once a year or so.

mrmitchell · February 13, 2003, 17:22

Okay, I've a game that should let us bond. We find some nuclear wast...oh, not litterally bonding.

Anyways. Let's all go around the circle and say what we like. (Dopey kindergartener fashion)

"I'm mrmitchell, and I like civ games, cookies, and surfing the web!"

BTW, "Kindergarten" is german for "child garden"

(For some reason I felt compelled to point that out

)

miggio · February 15, 2003, 01:08

Im Bryan, from canada, I like to code things. and this DG has caught my eye so i can say i like this too.

blah blah, i think im done bonding for now.

Frozzy · February 15, 2003, 01:11

Hi Bryan!

Mr. President · February 16, 2003, 20:21

I'm Dave, once of upstate New York, Hawaii, and Minnesota, but lately of Melbourne, Australia. I rejoice in reading, writing (lately to newspapers and magazines), soccer (much soccer

), and many other things besides.

Quickbeam3 · February 19, 2003, 04:53

Hi dave and Bryan. Wow how come all of a sudden everyone is changeing their avatars. Ps fozzys old one was much better.

BRING BACK THE GINGERBREAD MAN

Locutus · February 19, 2003, 07:26

Frozzy!

You're needed as a Judge in the CtP2-DG, Gilg hasn't heard from you in days, you don't seem to respond to PMs. Could you please contact him? (He has ICQ now if that helps: 260664712)

Method · February 23, 2003, 12:39

just passing through. Frozzy has been asking me to become a judge here, so i thought i'd at least check out the constitution and maybe even (gasp) play CtP first

checkMate · March 12, 2003, 07:44

Well, folks it looks like a dying Dem Game here. Is anybody still interested in continuing this? If so perhaps they should run for one of the offices?
