Golden Bear would like to join a team. Can we let him play?

Babylon and The Desolators both welcome Golden Bear. I say let him join the team that he wants.

*Skrobism walks off muttering, "Why would anybody want to join this bunch of bickering old maids?"

Yes and

Emphasis mine.

It sounds quite like Moonbars is saying that AM has access to the LB forum to me.

Yes - he is. As a lot of us also had access to the forum. If you read my post above, we were INVITED in, so he is not implying cheating. All he is saying ... oh forget it. I give up.

[Krill]

Meh, you were invited, that I am not disputing, but we as in Ormuzd and I, were not. So we could not have had legal access to the forum, is what I am saying.

[Golden Bear]

(I am very confused...)

It's a good thing that everybody is friends here.

Here is a hypothetical question, which is probably no more OT than much of the debate...

IF Babylon, for example, or maybe BOH, were to get steamrolled and to disappear - what happens to their loyal followers? Do they get banned from the game because they might possibly still carry an in-game grudge? Or do they get to join other teams, if the teams will accept them?

... and don't read anything ulterior into this question. It is just a question about how things work from somebody who has not been through this before!!

[Krill]

they can join other teams if there team gets steamrolled, though it is rare (or taboo?) that they join the team that killed them.

Though there is little reason for you to join AM unless you are in a European Timezone and can join in the chats.

[Golden Bear]

I have not really considered AM after my dalliance with LB and subsequent acquaintance with Babylon.

I am already dazzled by the opportunities that have been offered.

At this point I am just trying to let the dust settle a little bit before moving forward.

If the game only moves forward as (6 teams*24 hours/team)* fudge factor for each turn I could possibly miss as little as 1 turn while waiting. Of course that fudge factor can be as little as 0.05 for turns done in an hour+ or as great as, err, 4 for unforseen circumstances.

Anyway, I feel that is best for everybody to be comfortable, particularly Lord N before I jump anywhere.

I definitely feel undeserving to be the center or cause of this much controversy. Although I am pleased to have created entertainment for the group!!

Golden Bear

P.S. Hmm. Europe. I work with a division in Europe and we are 8 hours earlier than them. We hold teleconferences at 8 a.m. Oregon time for 4 p.m. there. Since I do, ahem, take breaks from work to watch this forum, as I am right now, I could theoretically chat via email while people did the hard work there. 4 p.m. here would be midnight there, which would be about finishing time for most of you, I guess.

P.P.S. How do discussions about things take place for this game? Do people use some kind of messaging, or emails or what?

P.P.S. Where can I go to post another 325 messages so that I can get my custom avatar? I'd like that!

Golden Bear,
Pick a team and join it. There will be complaints no matter what.

As for secret Babylonian plans that could be revealed by you going to Desolation Row, here they are.

Babylon seeks peace with all nations. Babylon wishes to wrest peace out of the hegemonic Anhk-Morpork.

Well that's pretty much it.

[Golden Bear]

Well, that solved my secret Babylonian insight!!

What about the secret weapon and the stash of alien artifacts? OK to talk about them? Oh, and the Doomsday device, didn't Dr. Strangelove tell you to report that?

Golden Bear

[Moonbars]

dear dear dear.

I am not accusing anybody of cheating
I am not suggesting any cheating has taken place

Seriously, this is it now for me - I quit, goodbye.

[Daddy-O]

Looks like there is an unfortunate opening at Desolation Row.

Come back Moonbars!

Golden Bear ... shhhhhhhh!!!! You promised not to tell.

Damn - now you have to become Babylonian so we can lock you away.

I hope you only mean you are quitting this discussion (which I fully understand as I pretty much had it as well), and not the game Moonbars. Keep in mind that MOST of us understood what you were saying.

Goodbye

Yes you were. You accused AM and BOH of running DL's in the names of those 2 low log ins with low post counts. What else are you saying?

If you quit, then I agree, good bye.

Golden Bear, you could be the turn player in DR soon if you join them
