PolyCast Episode 17: "A Little Bit More Coherent" Transcript

[DanQ]

END

DanQ: This is from 'GaiusOctavius': “outfitting an army, 5,000 gold. Building a navy, 3,800 hammers. Switching to Police State and Theocracy, 2 turns anarchy. Seeing the expression on Isabella’s face when you invade her country with 500 tanks and 80 stealth bombers... priceless. There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there’s Civ4.”

snoopy369: 500 tanks. I don’t know what difficulty level he’s playing on where you can get a stack of 500 tanks.

Makaluha: Or how big of a map was that? 500 tanks.

(laughter)

snoopy369: Yeah, I still say I'd probably want to use my stack by the time it got to 100.

Makaluha: Overkill. Although I don’t think the 80 stealth bombers is overkill.

DanQ: No, not at all.

Provost Harrison: Not for Montezuma or Isabella. I think its quite justified.

(laughter)

(ringing sound)

DanQ: Hello.

Provost Harrison: Hello, that was my phone... hang on a second.

DanQ: O.K.

Makaluha: It's not a PolyCast without someone’s phone ringing.

DanQ: It's better than Imran’s phone. Oh.

Provost Harrison: His is on vibrate.

(laughter)

Locutus: Yeah, all right. Another PolyCast is in the can.

DanQ: Are you suggesting we put it in the garbage? That’s not very nice.

(laughter)

Makaluha: No, I think that’s what **** usually suggests.

Locutus: Yeah.

(laughter)

DanQ: Or ****. Or ****.

Makaluha: The list is getting long.

DanQ: Actually I’m very disappointed that **** hasn’t necromanced any of our threads recently. Or said how awful we are.

Makaluha: He’s been busy necroing other threads. ****, we miss you... come harass us.

DanQ: Hmmm... Who should do the outro? Unless Rich or Joe feel up to it, I nominate Maki.

(laughter)

Makaluha: Please say you’re up to it, please say you're up to it...

(Provost Harrison: whistling)

(laughter)

Locutus: Onsert cricket sound here.

(laughter)

Provost Harrison: Thank you for joining us on PolyCast number 17 this week. And I’ve been Provost Harrison:, Richard Harrison, and the host has been Mr. Daniel Quick. DanQ; Makaluha; Joe, more commonly known as snoopy369. And Wouter Snijders or Locutus as we all commonly know him as.

DanQ: Rich, was this as good or as better that you remembered it from the last time?

Provost Harrison: It was... I can't remember the last time.

(laughter)

Provost Harrison: Ot was good. It was good.

DanQ: You blocked it from your mind. And Joe, is it like listening to the episode? Assuming you’ve listened to episodes...

(laughter)

snoopy369: No, it's not really like listening to the episodes because the episodes are usually a bit more-

Makaluha: Coherent?

DanQ: Polished?

snoopy369: (laughs) Polished. Not quite so much dead space.

Makaluha: And you cant talk back at us either.

DanQ: Well, you can.

snoopy369: Oh, I can talk back... you just can't hear.

DanQ: (laughs) You're still on, you’ll remain on the guest co-host rotational. You never know when the next PM will come from me

Makaluha: Don’t answer it, don’t answer it!

Provost Harrison: Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the forum. To paraphrase a famous tagline.

But to make things interesting, you should insert little made-up snippets here and there

[Locutus]

I've (briefly) done transcription professionally, I know how hard and painful and very time consuming it is to do. AAHZ is now my favourite Apolytoner

[LordShiva]

WTF is the word that kept getting censored? Is PolyCast rated R?

[DanQ]

indeed.

Has Dan given you free ApolytonPlus yet?

[ZEE]

yes. and i am very grateful to DanQ, and the entire staff and members of Apolyton, for all the support i have recieved here over the years. Doing these transcripts is not easy, as Locutus has explained, but for me to help this website is all worth it to me at the end. Again, it is truly my pleasure.

I can tell it would be very hard. I made a summary of what Dale said about WWII:RTW at CFC and I had to make frequent stops just write part of what Dale said.

Good job...I'd have thought that an American such as yourself AAHZ might have struggled with my accent
