Zylka’s 95 theses on why Civilization 3 is an utter disappointment.

Doesn't protect from a poor combination of title and location either.

Zylka is now:

Prince
Precious

Ming should recognize that. Maybe he won't though.

Its not from Flash Gordon. Its from FLESH Gordon.

He kept chasing Flesh Gordon. Wasn't interested in Dale Ardor.

You might want to change that somehow Zylka.

From IMDB, the only quote from Flesh Gordon at that

Prince Precious: I'm Prince Precious, rightful heir to the throne of Porno. Years ago, this planet was a veritable paradise. But Wang, a maniacal botanist whose organ was devoured by a crazed Penis Flytrap, could not tolerate the existence of so much pleasure, and so, banding together an army of the impotent and frustrated, and armed with a small but effective sex ray, plunged my palace into carnal chaos, and took it over.


I think most of that will get past the bots.

[notyoueither]

You said grew up. Prolly a mistake in tense. You meant *hope to grow up* didn't you?

Very concerned with when people registered on Poly. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sad, very sad. Otherwise you're pretty funny from time to time.

Yes... I do recognize the change. However, MarkG (owner and boss) was the one that made the avatar change. It is out of my hands.

Second, it is indeed from Flash not Flesh (I have both on DVD).
The picture is from the third serial... and as proof:

I may go back to a new version of the old one...

No! Just add shoulders to this one so it doesn't have that "enormous disembodied head" look to it, and it'll be far superior to the old one!

Newbie much?

I have been waiting for that puerile insult. Thank you for being so predictable.

So how many times did YOU play the Civilization board game NEWBIE? How many on the original Brittish version? When did you get your first computer oh silicon toddler? 1979 for me. Played my first computer game before that on a mainframe at Cal Tech.

Really strange playing a game on a lineprinter. Nuclear War.

This site is a newbie by my standards. It came after me not me after it.

Get a clue Zylka. This whole place is a newbie to gaming.

Ethelred = Ironikit (or something) ? looks very much so....

Thanks for information. I haven't seen any of those in a long time. The Dino De Laurenitis film was fun even when it was bad.

It didn't look quite, well, obscene enough for Flesh.

[Zylka]

HAHAHA So are you Iron or not?!

[notyoueither]

I'll bet no to Iron. He would have gone vulgar on your *ss a long time ago.

Writing style isn't very close either.

[Zylka]

True.. although I do wonder what happened to ol' Iron.. did I get him locked away for good?

[TheDarkCavalier]

Prolly... so knowing that it'll do him no good getting banned gain he switched to "very mild flaming"

Ironknit can't keep his temper. I can.

They should be able to tell anyway. I have a fixed IP address.

If you look back to before the time Civ III came out you will find me on the Maximum PC forums as:

Ethelred(hardrede)

http://forums.delphiforums.com/maxcommport/start

Haven't been there since I bought the game. Too busy with Civ III.


How about my sig picture from back when they still allowed HTML

This seems like a good place to work on one's 300 posts to get a personalized avatar. What the h*ll's going on? It is becoming entertaining though, which worries me a bit. Maybe I'll take a little break and live my life. Maybe not.

[civman2000]

let's stop the personal insults (and "newbie" has been added to that category)

[nato]

I think it is 500 for a personal avatar, and 300 just gets you prince.

Sorry for the off topic Ming - but I'm still a supporter of the new avatar!

For the topic, I think even people who loved the game could come up with 95 things to change, ranging from major game features to minor tweaks.
