The Horse, The Deity, The Dude and The Aztec

[Alexander's Horse]

I've found your behaviour in the game very interesting actually - the lone wolf behaviour, the refusal to interact normally with other players on maps and tech trading, the lack of ettiquette in bilateral communication, the assumption that everyone is ganging up on you and noone will trade with you. You weren't like this before.

Its been very interesting to watch, not to say bizarre. I don't think I've ever seen such peculiar behaviour from a civ player - especially when you then tell us that behaviour which alienates other players is all part of some "master plan", lol.

I see it as a serious competetion, like playing squash with my best friend. I don't consider on court tactics/deceptions as anything to do with our real life friendship...

I must have a word to your best friend before your next tennis game and suggest he doesn't bother asking you whether his shot was in or out. The answer will always, obviously, be "out".

How strange a post is this!

Not so long ago you were saying that the Aussie games were getting weird and in a bit of a rut about who attacks who etc... now you want the reliable, secure formula back?

I'm just playing out diferent roles in diferent games. Sometimes I trade, sometimes not.

As you once said I think, predicability is a bit boring.

Surely this game is much more intersting now?

Or were we just all supposed to build Spaceships?

What exactly are you saying fin?!!

That is so unlike me - I think you know that

What have I done wrong?

Not admitting to a diplo in Horseland (jokingly)?

Stealing techs?

WTF?

[deity]

Anyway, I haven't got a best friend

I was merely illustrating your own analogy.

Oh

Oh Surely this game is much more intersting now?

Sure is an interesting game, best for some time.

Only over the steaming corpse of your civ

I think the problem is those appalling diplobrat games you've been playing. They would de-skill anyone diplo-wise.

[Alexander's Horse]

I'm going to speak to Optus about you Deity

[deity]

Optus is fine

Oh, I see what you mean!

I vote diplo-guiding is OK as is ship chaining.

The only rules I remember agreeing on at the beginning was no city or unit bribe.

As we aproach the end-game we better try and avoid AH wobblies...

[Alexander's Horse]

Diplo guiding and ship chaining are okay with me.

[deity]

I know this is crap but I've screwed up about tonight
I'd rather be in your bad books than a certain other person!
Sorry - hopefully Hydey will let us play the 4 way on Fri night since we are approaching the end game.

[Alexander's Horse]

Approaching end game?

Your turns in this game have been pleasingly quick btw Deity.

I should be around Friday.

I was glad you didn't show Thursday cause it turned out I had to go to a cricket coaching clinic.

Kanga cricket starts tommorrow

[deity]

Yeah, the END GAME

We are at the end of the tech tree now... it's been such a peaceful world. Should it change just because we are at the end of the tech tree?

The Horse reckons The Aztec is bulding a Spaceship but if so, I don't understand why his turn was so LOOONG?
The Dude will build one for sure but WTF will The Deity do...??
