RAH's office

[rah]

Due to Mark's new job with the government, the staff has been asked to pick up some of the slack.

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...2&pagenumber=1

If you look at the top of the page, you'll see that I am now listed as a mod in this forum. I have not been a participant in this one so I am not familiar with all of you.

In order to avoid my PM box being filled, I'd like to try to handle any requests or answer questions in this thread. Hopefully it will keep response time to a minimum and help keep me organized.

My main office hours are M-F 7:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m. US central time. I am on at other times but not consistently.

RAH
Carry on.

Can you ask your secretary to get me a cup of coffee while I wait please.

[rah]

Man, less than 15 minutes, and the first spammer shows up. Welcome. Cream or sugar?

[Locutus]

Still think this won't be so tough?

[Alexander's Horse]

Actually I'm a big fan of this game already from the reports. We should get some of the civ 2 guys up here.

Got any whole milk? Can you do latte?

Hmmm, may take a bit more time than I anticipated.
It's going to take some time to go through all the threads and get the general feel.


RAH
and no latte.

[Alexander's Horse]

of course the big question is how will deity cope with a game whch goes from 6000bc to modern times in an hour. That's normally 1 turn for him.

[rah]

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not familiar with the game. I'm sure I'll know considerably more about it after going through all these threads. I may have to get it. We'll see if it still sounds interesting after reading through.

[Locutus]

Well, if you want to get a good idea of what this game is about, you may want to browse through the fact sheet:

http://apolyton.net/ron/factsheets/info.php

But more importantly, you may want to listen to DanQ's interview with Brian Reynolds and/or read the related article:

http://apolyton.net/ron/preview/part...l-generals.php

And of course, if that genuinely raises your interest, there's always the demo:

[rah]

Thanks Locutus, you're always helpful.

[Alex]

Good luck, rah. There are a lot of newbies around here, so try not to scare them too much.

[Homunculus]

rah... point DanQ to his mailbox for me will ya


oh and welcome

[rah]

DanQ checks his PMs and E-mail whenever he has time to get to it. Experience tells me any pointing that I do will usually be ineffective.

Thanks for the welcome.

RAH
Rules-abiding posters have nothing to fear.

[Homunculus]

ok, I'll hope he has time to get to it soon then

Rules-abiding posters have nothing to fear.

now the sentence itself is not disturbing.. but the smilie behind it makes one wonder

[Inverse Icarus]

can you do civgroups RAH? we could use some for RoN.

i PMed Markos a few days ago, but he's busy

[rah]

Not currently, but I can forward the request. Mark has been kind of busy.

[Solver]

Locutus is yet again fascinating in how helpful he is. Rah, bud, go read Yin's review of the game, and then run for the demo, screaming while the download bar increments.

[rah]

even with a cable broadband connection?

Affording buying it does not present a problem.

[Solver]

even with a cable broadband connection?

That was the case with me. All in all, a 200 MB download does take more than 2 minutes, doesn't it ? For me at least...

Affording buying it does not present a problem.

Well, go look down at the less lucky than you apolytoners for whom exactly that might be a problem .

[Locutus]

N/P, Rah.

Solver,
Hmmm, people have said many things about my helpfulness, but I don't think anyone ever called it fascinating...

You don't happen to have any Vulcan blood in you, do you?

Homunculus,
I'm afraid I may have flooded Dan with email today, so it may be a while before he gets around to yours

[rah]

200 MB, yes, that will take awhile regardless. More of reason to just buy it.

And No, not looking down at anybody. Just saying it won't take much of an excuse for me to buy it. Especially if some of the things I've been reading today are true.

RAH

[Inverse Icarus]

:drool:

buy it RAH. you can't stop it. it's bigger than you.

just buy it and enjoy the ride.

[War4ever]

congrats on the new posting Rah..... who did the artwork in the office

[Solver]

Yes Loc, you're never too lazy to fill posts with links, etc.

Rah - be sure to get them Civ 2 MP guys to play the game, too... and Ming, of course.

[Ming]

If he likes it... it usually means I will too.

Gee... I wonder why

Congrats Bro

[rah]

War, my wife of course

Solver, when I check it out, some of the others will hear about it, if my experience is good.

It took me 25 minutes to download that demo

[rah]

And how robust was the demo?

25 minutes isn't too bad.

Do you have a broadband connection?

RAH

[ColdWizard]

Haven't had opportunity to try it yet.

As for the connection, my employers say its a T1 line... maybe it would've downloaded faster if I paused those other downloads

Well, can you find someone to make one up?
