notyoueither help entry

[Gramphos]

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I just did see this entry in the Civ3Edit helpfile, and did a search on the forums, but didn't find anything on it, so I decide to post it.

I couldn't resist in checking what the german translation of notyoueither was... So therefore the attached image contains two screenshots. One form the english Civ3Edit.hlp file (I actually found it in Civ3XEdit.hlp, but had to check if it were present in the original file as well ) and one of the german Civ3Xedit.hlp file showing the translated name as "Nicht du schon wieder".

Oh, and nevermind the Swedish interface

So, has this been posted before?

And notyoueither, how are you related to Firaxis' beer?

Are you aware of any sush meating? (has he posted anything about it during the Civ3 development era?)

[Solver]

Might have, might have, but I'm not sure... i.e., I do not remember anything exact about nye meeting Firaxis... but seeing his posts, he would at least like to do so!

[Sheik]

very good find. I wouldn't have seen that in a million years.

[Hagbart]

that is kind of funny.

iirc nye sent a case of beer to the firaxis guys

[Kuciwalker]

Can I do that too?

Wait, I can't buy any beer to send them.

skywalker I just noticed your tag on the formerly known as Prince. I cracked up. I first figured it was do to going up to King, maybe it was a play on the singer formerly known as Prince. Either way it is funny.

It came from a chat a long time ago. We were pestering Mike to see what could be added to the editor. At the time the hot topic was getting lethal bombardment so that naval mods could be better.

I asked if sending him some beer might help. He said, 'no comment' or something to that effect. Well, I sent the beer (a couple of flats). Next patch had lethal bombardment.

I can't say the two are related. There was a lot of discussion about lethal bombardment here and elsewhere. It was a good idea to add to let people know they were listening. I would have sent the beer anyway. When I sent it, I thought it would be good if they got something from Poly to offset some of the... less than encouraging discussion that was going on.

Of course, then a few people started pestering me to see if I had found the easter egg. Someone finally led me by the nose to it. It has been good for a chuckle.

I like how it's been translated. I'll bet that person had to think about it for a little while. 'What the hell is this?'

AT LAST I now know how to make them implement unit trading !

[Solver]

Haha, now that's a good way!

Let's see... a pack of beer to Intel for my 3 GHz processor, a pack of beer to Markos to get Poly owner rights, a pack of beer to Trip to have him hibernate .
