Knowing Hydey and [1], you have little to worry about, obiwan. (Especially since we have SOL and you can change to your favored gov't regardless.)

Sharpen your blade!

... and tune your light sabre - your only fear is that Hydey and I might finish them off (ever the optimist)

Smash them we will, Yes.

With that kind of knowledge, I bet he has a future in left wing politics (bye, bye Mr Blair?)

It's a relative thing, but yes. On the mend.
Thanx.

I played 10 turns, which felt about right. Hopefully we can get at least 2 sessions for everyone.

This is an observation about two SXN games currently underway, this one (HT), and Nothing Fancy (NF).

--HT is MPGE and NF is 2.42
--NF started 3 days and ~23 posts before HT
--Currently, HT has ~31 more posts (8 adjusted for earlier start)
--Currently NF has ~126 more views (~10% increase)

1) folk with MP are more loquacious??

2) there are more folk interested in 2.42 games??

This is a curiosity to me, though it may be meaningless. What do you think??

Random crap if you ask me.

I think there's been an unusual amount of in this thread, accounting for the larger number of posts

British understatement?


What could this 'arranging' possibly refer to?

[Straybow]

Fundies suck. No challenge, no joy—for the player. I guess it's the only thing that can make the AI a challenge.

It could just be that since the NF game is nothing fancy there is less need for creative (bizarre) strategies with the concommitant(sp?) commentary that invariably follows...
