[Gavrushka]

Bring on whoever you want.. I filled my bloated bladder to empty it over all comers..

Do games still have moderators?

Changing that tag in that fille. Will it affect other games?

I better get some practice in. I have not played for almost a year..

[blackice]

Sign me up you mad men, if it is ok of course.

I belch in your direction, and may my wind be up wind from you.

Yes but for the most part no one wants the thankless job of moderating.

Yes it will, so copy the exsisting file and keep it in a safe place or simply avoid the ruins.

Practice you'll need a year to kick butt around here now.

With those sofa sized backsides of the aged and weary, I see I am gonna have to water my dainty little feet to make an impression on them..

With us three that makes a combined age in excess of 130 in this game so far.... And I am only 11..

[blackice]

That's too bad Gav. You see for men gravity and age is definately a bonus.

[Azrael]

Well this seems to be a quality game and seeing that I do have somewhat more time for myself these day's, I'll join the fun. (That will make the average age per person drop a bit )

[Dimytes]

I'm always up for a new game!

Okay! Great!! This game is now full. I'll set it up. Let me know how you all want the above settings changed (if at all) and I'll set it up. (Maybe more "Wet" to give everyone a river starting position?? Does that work??) With this group, I think we can self moderate.

Introductions are in order --- Gavrushka meet Dimytes ... a very good Swedish player! Dimytes meet Gavrushka, a most decent man!

[Gavrushka]

Blackice.... Any more gravity over here and I'd be forever tripping..

Stephan! Good to see you in this one.. As for the average age.. (Infinity+17+Dimytes)/5 = still infinity.

Dimytes, good to meet you. I used to play here frequently somewhere near the dawn of time, and now, here in my twilight years I return..

Steve.. JUST a suggestion, would it be possible to have a multi settler start? The only reason I suggest this is that we all settle our first city very early - and it could well be there is a slight disparity in start conditions which is diluted by an extra city or two.

My preferred email is now gary-rutherford@btconnect.com

[Dimytes]

Hi there gavruska! You are not a stranger to me even though we have not talked or played against each other yet.
I have read many old threads where you have posted, especially those containing tactics...

[Dimytes]

I'll play Vikings .
Name: King Dimytes

There are some things I would like to change from the settings.

1. Wonders alowed.
2. goods 100% (faster sience) This game will take quite some time anyway.
3. Making the world max wet and warm increases the chance for river for all of us even though it is not certain.
4. I would like to change world type from world to doughnut.
5. Does anyone want any AI in the game? I don't mind if there are any. But they should be at deity difficulty incase we have AI's.

1. I do not agree with wonders because it makes the game a race to key wonders, instead of strategy.

2. Fine. Many players love this setting even though I don't think it speeds up the game that much.

3. Okay. Max wet and warm and restart until everyone gets a river. Fine with me.

4. Doughnut is fine with me.

5. Doesn't matter to me.

I'll be the Americans.

[quinns]

To answer Gavrushka's suggestion about extra settlers... If we do this we'll need a moderator to set the settlers up. I would rather not have a moderator. I vote "no" on extra settlers.

[TheBirdMan]

(Too) many of my "normal-games" are hanging in the mudd anyway, so why not?

To WAR for the small nations with funny citynames.

Nation: Jamaica, leadername Che Birdy.
