Beyond Alpha Centauri:::::::Discussion Thread 7

[Mr. President]

I must admit I'm not familiar with the works of Jeff Long, but perhaps I should take a look.

Haven't read Hyperion yet, though you are the first one to have a negative opinion on it.

That's my experience too. It seems to be very, very popular.

About the link, all I saw was a really gross picture of an alien, and then the page killed my computer. Sorry.

Speaking of losing souls to new games, I'm thinking of getting an old one, namely Call to Power II. Have you, or anyone else reading this, played it? If so, what was your impression of it? (I'm also going to look for SimCity 2000 since the 3000 edition hasn't worked on my computer since I got the sound card replaced. But I know that's going to be good. )

[History Guy]

Oh crumbs. I apologize for not posting yet, but alot has happened recently, for better or worse. Terribly sorry about all this, I do hope to get something productive done, and get all this rather nasty stuff behind me. Ah, I hate random events...

[Frankychan]

nah, its all good History Guy!

The forums has been really quiet as of late.

*shifty eyes*

I haven't seen any postings in a looooong time from other people. Hydro, Bearcat...anyone.

I think we're the only permanent denizens of this area.

[Kassiopeia]

We all hate random events, I sometimes wish I could've decide to turn them off before I was born... oh well. Bugger that.

CtP2? Got that on loan from a friend once. It was decent enough, far better then Civ3 in any case. Didn't even try out the modpacks out there, Poly has a ton of them. If you can get it for a decent price, go ahead. I liked the futuristic parts, to my annoyance the Civ games always lacked that part (hence my affection to SMAC).

What comes to the silence of this forum, I guess it's because the game is turning so old. But I'm very proud to be a part of BAC; in a bit over one month, it's been running for a full year. Not many MASTs reach those figures, I'd say.

[History Guy]

Finally! Well, I wish I could have done more in the limited time available...I do want to have more time to get the Daisy thing, the mob plot, and the Free Capella thing fitted together with the Novans...and I want to add to the Peacekeeper plot. Hope you like this little bit which I cranked out in a half hour in order to let the more industrious Kassiopeia start with our DRAMATIC plot...

[Mr. President]

Nice one, History Guy. I hope Imran would appreciate what you've used his name for.

The latest post, in fact, inspired me to toss together my most recent contribution, which offers a brief glimpse into the shadowy underbelly of the Drone military's hunt for Nautilus Pirates.

[Kassiopeia]

Excellent! Now I can take a breather from G, F and R, and hone my skills of DRAMATIC writing.

[History Guy]

Yeah, he does. He's informed me in the past that he likes the stuff!

[Kassiopeia]

Hm. CivGroups. ( apolyton.net/forums/civgroups.php )What about a BAC Group?

[Silence]

Howdy

I do have to say that the "A" I got on my History of Philosophy is confirmed!!

Anyway its nice to see some new posts in the story thread. Anyway just checking in.

[Mr. President]

Does Imran visit this forum? Does Imran read BAC? He should post!

I do have to say that the "A" I got on my History of Philosophy is confirmed!!

Way to go Silence! Ole!



I had a math exam yesterday, but I seriously doubt I got an A.

BAC group . . . hmm. It's apparently mainly for Democracy Games and related michigas, but it'd be worth asking nicely.

[Frankychan]

Booyah Baby! Good work Silence!
I just had a criminology midterm today and I think I bombed it.

I wouldn't mind having a BAC group, but I think it'd probably be really small....

I'm glad BAC is picking up again as well!

Well, just making sure you guys are behaving.....I haven't been able to come online for an extended period cause of that criminology test, but you guy's will probably see more of me now....usually hanging in the OT where I can do quick postings but now I'll be EVERYWHERE! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

[Kassiopeia]

*blahs* The BAC group isn't actually such a good idea.

criminology test

Who did they test? You?

What comes to school, Psychology and Philosophy starts in a few weeks ( ), and I'm doing work (not really ) to pass my Swedish course.

[Silence]

A side note: I looked at the link in your sig Kassiopia and it has made me want to watch Evangelion now.

Though I am going to have to force on of my buddies to by the DVDs or videos since the local movie store only takes obscure Anime from the 80s and lots of Hentai.

[Kassiopeia]

Silence, you will find Evangelion intriguing in a philosophical sense. Try to avoid spoilers, though the metaphysical and psychological aspects won't suffer too much from knowing important plot twists beforehand.
