I usually x1 so I don't know where you get the idea I "refused" to play.

I think the 2x was to speed up the game, which was just for fun. Fun, you remember that term at all Markus? Timezones are difficult.

But I won't play a game without tech stealing

and that icq chat was from another game (with war4) you ninny!

this is right from my icq history when we set our second game. you refused to play 1x, said you wanted to improve your 2x skills.

I noticed, your incapable of research and must live off of others hard work.

[Alexander's Horse]

Yes you're right, I did want to improve my 2x skills because I hardly ever play it.

Also I didn't see those games as some sort of world championship.

LOL.

2x small map games are extremly lame.. Everyone builds on a mountain top and well, thats it! No one seems interested in playing past gunpowder.
2x 2x games are even worse, 80% of the games seem to be decided before 2000 BC.
1x 1x games are very dull before cannons & enginers but after that there is far more stratagy then 2x.. again depending on the map.

[Alexander's Horse]

I agree fully with your views on settings - although if you go the the zone its hard to find players who will play 1x or any setting above King. I started a 1x hordes, deity and people just dropped off like flies.

[Hydey]

oops sorry I thought you said "dropped off like eyes"

[Rasputin]

i played my original game of MP at the zone and met some great people. I cant remember their names now unfortuanlty but there was even one lovely lady!!

But the problem of the time zone difference became too much and i eventually found the aussies group here at poly (Actually it was my post that got them all together in one place)

I have only ever gone back to the zone occasionaly , knowing full well the game will only be one session and probably not even that long... it is a place for fun not championships!!!

[Alexander's Horse]

Hey Markusf I was looking for you last night. Are you hiding from me?

You missed your chance anyway because I'll be away for the next week.

[markusf]

LOL, i saw the ICQ message in the morning. It was at 4:30 AM

[Alexander's Horse]

So? You should be ready to play at any time. That's your problem -you lack commitment.

I'm going to icq you tonight too

You got enough time to post nearly 18 hours of the day... why can't you play during that time? chicken?

[Alexander's Horse]

Duh! I'm at work!

[War4ever]
