        It seems I don't know of the intricacies of GS external debate, too...

        But I’m definitely not bored. It’s very educational!

          This is growing way out of proportions here... look at my initial post: it had a emoticon... for me the sign this was responded to a bit in gest as well.

            well... suffice it to say, we're constantly aware that we can improve in this area. We're looking at new blood to teach us a trick or two.

            And at least for me personally, we start completely clean... I hold no former grudges whatsoever, not at the end of last game, and certainly not now. Of course, I do know some of the characters of people involved, and will try to keep those in mind. But 'try to' is not the same as 'succeed'...

              Damn. I was kinda hoping you people were going to teach me a trick or two. Heck I've never even beat Civ4.





              Then again I've only played it twice and got too bored to finish

                No worries, there are other areas to a demogame than pure diplomatic issues... I expect to learn a lot of CIV in here too

                  We don't always realize what we say can be interpretted as on occasion. This is but human nature. I could call the 'go write a story' a little pot shotty as well if I really wanted to for instance. Really find it quite witty.
                  Ok, it's all good, then. Let's drop it. If I was overly defensive, which is certainly possible, then I apologize. I'm just hoping we can put the PTWDG behind us and start fresh, ya know?

                  By the way, the "bored? write a story" bit WAS a potshot. It's called returning fire. I do that occasionally. Hence you calling it that would simply be calling a spade a spade.

                    But he's right, you know. Why would you need to 'track an old member down' if they didn't show interest in the Civ 4 DG?
                    If you really want to get over the previous game, accept that there will be different players in this one - some newbies will join, some oldbies will leave,
                    and hopefully some leader won't delay the inclusion of said newbies until after he's tracked down the oldbies who aren't that interested anyway.

                    Though, Arrian is correct in that you should save the complaints about tardiness until someone becomes tardy.
                    Since I'm not authorised to the forum, they could be having 3-page thread discussions about each of us with their old members - which would be important if the Stonemasons Stormians want to design their secret society well.
                    ... or they could be doing nothing while waiting for some old inactive dude. Hopefully not.

                    I laughed at it.

                    • Drat, did I miss a proto-flamefest (can of gasoline in hand)?

                      This is cool. We have C3CDG people with scars and perhaps grudges and people from antidiluvian DGs with memories older than Buddy Holly lyrics (I actually know a lot of those, LOL). The intrigue ought to be tremendous.

                      I visualize a game-ending WW on about turn 35.

                      Let me know if there are any potential FWs I can use this gasoline (petrol for you, my friend Chris) on.

                              Chances are they're gonna start right in the middle of a bunch of people, and whoever bribes them the least is going to get it.
