I think I would do a great job as lead designer of this new game. First I would rename it Alpha Centauri II and argue EA abandoned the trademark (Firaxis offices would have to be set up abroad in the event of federal intervention). I would be honest in interviews and admit Civ 5 and 1UPT never worked and was God's punishment for homosexuality. I would then tell the artists to just copy SMAC (20% of the budget) and spend the other 80% recruiting Soren Johnson and/or Bryan Reynolds to improve the AI.

YOU WOULD SUCK AS A LEAD DESIGNER YOU NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON NINJAS TO GET BLAKE OUT OF HIS MONASTARY IF YOU WANT BETTER AI

Wiglaf, why do you care so much about the quality of the AI? Do you not have any friends to play against?

Is MP CiVinSpace even a possibility?

I've hardly played civ MP at all. The games take too long.

Too long? Bah. A PBEM or PitBoss only takes 6-8 months so long as everyone has a good PYFT rating.

No one should have any faith in this project.

They hired a ****ing Fine Arts graduate as lead designer? FFS. This game is going to suck harder than an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Didn't read the thread, but I agree with that sentiment.

FIRST OF ALL PLEASE CALM DOWN AND HOW DARE YOU. IF BLAKE'S AI WAS SO SMART, WHY DID IT SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THE ESPIONAGE SLIDER, WHICH IS A WASTEFUL STRATEGY ONLY EVER EMPLOYED BY HUMAN PLAYERS WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO "INTRODUCE" THEIR GIRLFRIENDS TO GAMING AND THEN SLEEP WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS? WAS BLAKE'S AI TRYING TO SEDUCE US ALL OR IS THERE SOME OTHER LEGITIMATE EXCUSE? LET'S FACE FACTS: BLAKE'S AI IMPROVED THE ABILITY OF THE AI TO SEND STACKS OF DOOM BY BOAT, I WILL GIVE IT THAT, BUT LEFT GAPING HOLES ELSEWHERE THAT COULD NOT BE PLUGGED EVEN IF YOU RESURRECTED BILLY MAYS HIMSELF, GAVE HIM A GRAM OF COCAINE AND TOLD HIM TO PLUG THEM IMMEDIATELY

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Yes. Blake was trying to make Isabella and Catherine seduce you.

So would the parties who signed up at AC2 this weekend care to own up? Pretty obvious with the non-Chinese-animal-in-Chinese guy, and the conspiracy going public one looks suspect/tubby-ish, too...

I would say that's a matter for debate.

But her whole shtick has to do with a plastic idea of perfection - if you google around, you can find lots of flying saucer people in spandex trying for similar looks; the looks they imagine the super-advanced and perfected space people who are coming to save us all would sport.


They do not relize that it's actually Wiggy coming to save us all -- in an Old Testament sort of way.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Wiggy would have 'sploded a few...

I'm lurking as a guest just to see how long it takes you to steal my links.

Minutes to hours, depending - you're doing a very good job.
