Big New Aussie Game tonight:)

[Alexander's Horse]

First blood to HORSE!!!

The Horse empire stalls on the power graph as it prepares for another massive wave of expansion. Our love of science drives us to build the Great Library of HORSE. We are also driven to exploration but lose one ship and its peaceloving horsemen as a result of a cowardly attack from the evil Arseholes. How aptly named they are!

Are you guys going to be around tonight?

[hydey]

Makeo and Hydey are here but no horse ?

[Alexander's Horse]

I'm here - you just can't see me and I'm watching you on icq (he he). I don't think finbar is going to show - he has Italian lessons or something.

[iadkins]

OK... Aussie Friday night at 9pm for continuation of this interesting game
Be There!!!

As reported on CNN Worldwide, P. Costello and his ****hole empire suffered an entirely unprovoked attack at the hands of one A. Horse and his empire. The aforementioned A. Horse landed a diplo and a horseman outside a freshly built and therefore unguarded ****hole city, established an embassy with the diplo, and promptly wiped the city from the face of the map with the horseman.

Later, said A. Horse claimed to have mistaken the ****hole empire for one belonging to a chappie by the name of Makeo. Mmm. Having established an embassy before obliterating the city, he knew the civ had nothing to do with anyone called Makeo. Proving only that said A. Horse speaketh through forked bridle.

Subsequently, the ****hole navy sank a Horse trireme and persuaded one of his horsemen to join a worthier cause. And the best is yet to come.

The ****hole empire did, though, make acquaintance with Mr Makeo. An extraordinary act of generosity towards Mr Makeo on the part of the ****holes proves to Mr Makeo, hopefully, the ****holes' fair intentions.

after playing Makeo tonight I think you all might enjoy playing better without me as I am to crap to play you guys

[Alexander's Horse]

Oh c'mon Hydey, the best way to learn is to play with people of the calibre of Deity, finbar and Makeo!!! I know myself, Deity and finbar are about as helpful as anyone to new players. You're on a good wicket here

As for the Costello news report, more lies. The city in question was named "Black Bean", it was left undefended for 2 turns and our empire happened to be short of that sauce. QED.

Hey, Hydey, Makeo hammered me mercilessly (like to death in about 200AD, from memory) not long before he disappeared o/s to the delights of the snow bunnies who use z in certain words instead of s. And it wasn't even a duel.

All part of the growth process, my son.

As to the Horse and his forked bridle, the untruths continue relentlessly. The city was called French Bean, not Black Bean. Too lazy or too poor to buy his own, or too lacking in nouse to grow his own, he resorted to snatching other people's. As always, the truth will out, and right will prevail. Well, in the fantasy world of Civ anyway.

Excuse ME! The city was called Black Bean and I notice there are other cities on that island named after vegies that my empire craves (though cabbage is banned from Horseland )

Anyway, I think my actions were perfectly understandable. Firstly, if you leave a city undefended for two turns with a tri from an unknown civ next to it the other civ is going to think either you don't want that city or you're asleep at the wheel. Since you've obviously already forgotten the name of your city people can draw their own conclusions i.e. it couldn't have been very important to you Secondly, if you name yourself after Peter Costello just about any Australian will attack you!!! I saw red, what did you expect????? Thirdly, my people are really enjoying their beef with Black Bean sauce and are warming to you. They might even forget your act of aggression against our hapless tri, that was just peacefully exploring

Btw, I think Hydey is actually ahead of me on the powergraph at the moment so I don't know what he is whining about

[Makeo]

The arseholes have truley shown their friendship towards the Aztec nation and their generosity will not be forgotten.

Hey hydey what are you talking about, your killing me in our game.

AND you've learned its a good idea to stack units.

Oh well, why don't you just climb right up his bum then. Keep going - I can still see your feet!!!

[Makeo]

WHAT? you can still see my feet? i better keep going then

[Alexander's Horse]

Lucky I've got my sunglassess on, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you up there makky!

[finbar]

1. Won't be around till 9.30-ish tonight, lads.

2. Horse, you're even fuller of it than usual. The city was called French Bean. I can send you a save from when the city existed. And your interpretation of an undefended city is your own interpretation. What's more, your scurrilous attack on a perfectly charming, well-intentioned, thoughtful (and not the least bit arrogant, despite reports to the contrary) chappie by the name of P. Costello, who has nothing but the best interests of everyone - and especially the needy - at heart is ... well, nothing short of ... um ... I'll think of something. Next thing you'll be damning the Reiths and Kemps of the world. For crying out loud ...
