RAH rules: The Neverending Saga

[Xyvyr]

Holy Cheese and Rice! While I only skimmed the info at that link I get the gist of it and nay shall I eatith of the apple of good and evil! I'll remain happily ignorant thank you. While I proclaim no savior in real life, I hand my gaming fate to the All Great Randomizer, who punishes those who shaveth the corners of their six-sided dice and bringeth eventual doom to all ye who seeketh the hidden path to greatness over the muddy trail of perserverence, and all ye who.. oh crap.. that Lutheran military school got to me didn't it. Anyway you naughty people, I'll have you know that when you whoop my behind in Civ II that you whooped a CLEAN butt. That unsinkable thing is pretty cool though..

[Ming]

That's why we have a rules thread like this... so everybody in the game knows what's OK and what's not

[War4ever]

just for the record, i don't care what rules i am playing , just no city bribe, and i go with the majority....

but i like to KNOW the rules ahead of time

[Ming]

It just makes sense to "know" the rules ahead of time.

There is nothing worse than having a game breakdown because of a rules issue.

[Xyvyr]

Oh yeah - I got the rules down from this thread, but the cheat list from the other thread, while interesting, would only serve to ultimately lessen my own enjoyment of the game. I could care less what particular rules people play by, I'll know and abide, through sicker or poorer, till death dethrones me, and love it. I didn't understand why some of the Rah Rules were there until I read the thread through, very interesting evolution if I might say so!

Hear, hear!

A lot of the things in the cheats thread, I would never have thought of, or thought possible. Hell, I still don't know how to make my triremes unsinkable!

A rules thread at least lets us level the playing field a bit. Whether you regard certain actions as 'cheats' or not, at least it's out in the open. Moreover, knowing how to use the allowed cheats is important, if everyone else does!

I don't like many of the allowed cheats either - but that's my decision, and the rules make sure I know what I was up against anyway.

[Ming]

Yes... it is all about a "level" playing field. It's almost impossible to get everybody to agree on whether something is truely a cheat or not... but it is easy to get a concensus, and then publish the agreed upon rules.

I don't think any of us agree on every one of the rules here... but we have agreed that these are the rules we will play by.

Amazing how much all of you talk about civ and strategy but yet you still all suck.

[rah]

Your contributions to the discussion are always so useful.

Do you even play anymore? Just curious. How's the tennis going?

[Ming]

I see that Happy is campaigning for the next HOF election

I was hoping to bump into eyes at the Aussie open but alas they play tennis at Deity level and eyes is far superior at king level tennis.

by the way did serena complete her serena slam, i was watching it then switched to the hockey game

[Ming]

Serena Williams completed her "Serena Slam" on Saturday, but her sister certainly made her work for it. Serena beat Venus 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 to win the Australian Open, and expect their domination of women's tennis to continue, writes Mark Kreidler.

From ESPN.com this morning

[War4ever]

actually i went and looked at it, and watched the replay.....good for her, but i am tired of thewilliams sisters....

they aren't very smart those two, and they are ugly as sin....but damm can they play ball......they hit almost as hard as some of the men...

[Ming]

I'm happy to see them killing all the competition. I hope they continue for a long time.

And no, they aren't all the pretty, or very smart...

BUT NEITHER ARE HOCKEY PLAYERS
