This is really tough. I'm so tempted, but...

It's like seven days til Christmas, when these things can be discussed openly by those involved in the beta.

Heh... good to see you all around! I'm definately up for another storm, although I'm also definately not going to play turns if I can avoid it. However, it all might get a bit easier, with Pitboss and some of ...that stuff we can't talk about yet...

Promise me one thing though: the most important lesson I learned is that we weren't ruthless enough last time. No more wussing about, if we nail a civ like we nailed Vox, we take them at maximum profit. Being friendly is one thing, but last time it has cost us too much in the long run.

Oh, and please let someone hire a diplo-hitler

Arrian is back.

He's posted in the OT once, and my buddy list tells me he is logged into the forums now.

Yeah, that OT post was the first drop of the flood. This is gonna be bad.

Would you like to join the Storm, Trip?

I considered doing so, but with the great concentration of experience and talent on this team I thought I'd try something different.

If you guys are going to use this forum to discuss anything for the Civ 4 game I will remove myself from the CivGroup. Let me know.

Well, if they need and C++ mathematical modellers or physicists, and don't mind me working from home in the UK, I can help out

As if.

Sadly, not many games companies where I live, so a job in games programming isn't going to be easy to come by.

There's a bit of seriousness embedded there, no? Wasn;t completing graphics one of the constraints for the initial CIV release?

Theseus, vulture, and OPD...

I'm going to list you as returning in the public thread. Please let me know if I am incorrect in my estimation.
