Why on earth not?

all everyone wants to know...other than Horse (whom we know is surfing porn or only using one hand ) what are you guyz doing between turns....

especially if you have fast connections

We prattle on KC, Horse disappears to do things with baby bottles and nappies, Hydey watches the footy on TV, etc.

BTW Finbar......are you playing again these days?

Yep. Not as much as I was. I got out of the habit when I had 6 or 7 months away thanks to mad work schedules. Our Friday night Oz group - whomever turns up - is a lot of fun. I probably should try to get back into the groove.

The mind can only boggle at what the original title might have been.

There's also Deity's famously parrot ravaged connection

[War4ever]

i have heard about the connection deity has...... even seen it in action....

The footy your talking about ....is that aussie rules footy, Real footy (soccer) or *yikes* american football...my guess is the first

U guys should use icq phone or even better a different messenger service which allows conference calls

Yep. Aussie Rules. Hydey is a fervent Carlton supporter. They are currently bottom of the ladder. If they finish there at the end of the season, it will be the first time for about 80 years. Of course, we're all praying they will.

What? To listen to Horse's baby screaming his lungs out? Hydey abusing the umpire? Deity's clock ticking while he contemplates thinking about the vague possibility of having his turn?

*Horse files away the fact that Hydey is a Carlton supporter for later use*

LOL....it makes restarts quicker....livens the game up.....even if you use icq phone ...at the very least you can tak to one player.....

unless you can't stand you mates.....

Hes lieing. You can tell exactly how much lag someone has by the speed of there units when they move by you. His caras on automove just zip around the map... hes got as much lag as anyone else.

i enjoy lifting weights ....do a set of arm curls or tricep extensions.....

that is when i am not drunk or influenced by some sort of halucegen

[Alexander's Horse]

Yeah slow play doesn't bother me that much either - our main beef with Deity, and the source of all the jokes, is the fact he flatly denies that he dawdles. If he'd admit it and tell us why there'd be no more room for jokes.

Which means D, for humour's sake, please maintain your denials

whatever adds spice to your games i guess....in your case with a baby and kids.....i am sure playing Mr. Mom requres breaks....

i don't smoke and i live on my own....so i don't have distractions...other than the tv......

and i can do the laundry while the others move.....

but 20 min for a short turn.....yikes....

with four players we can do four turns each during the midgame !!!!

but whatever works for you lads......

Same here, but i watch tv at the same time, or play games at yahoo during turns.

We like playing Deity even if he is slow - that's the bottom line

[War4ever]

exactly....no shame in that.....i like to play my reg group..but its good to branch out and play other settings / other peoples
