Okay, time to let you in on my deepest/darkest secrets?
Q1: First time CIV player, playing on Noble and winning (50%). Being a soldier (retired as of 1 Jan) I will follow orders and do whatever I am told as best I can. That said, I have also worked in "diplomacy" (who of you hasn't negotiated with narcotic- and power-high teenagers armed with AK's manning a road block to get aid through?). Would that be called "pointy stick" research? I have an interest in all the other facets too, so...
Q2: I want to have fun and learn how the better players (which seems to be all of you) think about how to play the game so that I can improve my games! I have no non-negotiable demands, but I would prefer not to be shot at (I got enough of that at work). I will engage in debate and go wholeheartedly and without later recrimination with the consensus - living with challenges you cannot change is part of life, no matter how much we moan & groan about it. This is my first demo game and I am still trying to figure out completely how it works, so I will have naive questions and comments (probably often). I have a thickish skin, so my feelings don't get hurt. I am living with my girl, who doesn't usually mind me playing games (provided it's quietly). Which brings me to my next point, are there any ladies on our team? I am assuming that Enigma is not (mainly because "he" reminds me of myself when I was a snotty teenager - a few years in the army can mellow one). All the rest seem to be men?
Q3: Failure rates from RL? Most of the people I shot at never complained much. On the other hand, I never wandered up to do market research, I was usually too busy with other things at the time (like lying my hole whimpering). I don't like error, but no plan ever survives first contact. Flexibility and quick thinking are my good traits. My job at the moment inolves similar "pointy stick" operations, and since unfortunately people don't post their plans on the guerrilla websites, my time is not really my own. What is AFK? With planning, I should only be gone about 1 (max 2) week/month. I am trying to complete my PhD, and this takes up some time. I pledge to try to give due warning (Can we create a thread just for this, so we all know?). I will not find a replacement - as a military team we should be able to function when our people get temporarily wounded. I have no medical problems, I am fit, strong and healthy (if you don't count recurring malaria and the long-term effects of broken bones and wounds). If get killed in my work, you can kick me out, no hard feelings.
