Hard working imperialist despot? Tigga, that has to be the nicest thing anyone has said to me this year! My only concern is that it will not really be role playing for me. Anyway, sorry about March.

Phoenix D has stepped forward to host the match, which is befitting of his rank of General. Thank you!

Since I now have to order Gold, can anyone suggest another good Shrapnel game? Postage and handling is expensive and the same for two games. Armies of Armageddon is a dud.

["You know trouble is brewin..QUOTE]


Now my good Tesco, with the honorable races that one shall encounter within the upcoming Universal Extravaganza, how could you emphasize that a form or conflict (trouble brewin) would possibly be initiated between races meeting for the lst time? I would like to think that they would welcome each other and formulate plans to exchange cultures and other stimuli to understand each other so co-existance among the stars and its vast resources could be accomplished. However, there could be one or two exceptions, like maybe a furry, tailed race of monsterous proportions that envisions itself as , sauve, debonair, sophisticated and let alone intelligent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif Or a race that has a somewhat symbiote relationship with a small, little eared, furball, which incorporates some alien ritual during mating season and attaches itself to the hosts outer anatamy. One must wonder, what one shall meet out in the far reaches of the unknown. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

GT, are you serious, Lawyers over there only make that much, that's unbelievable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Is that the same all over Europe? I would have thought they made a lot more then that. Is there any reason they are so low paid and does that include private practice? (just curious) I agree, the disparity between them stinks,

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Ahh Gryphin, yes sometimes my somewhat extrodinare mind tends to race foreward at times in opposition to my feeble attempts at typing and what the two of them come up with in the process can leave one wondering, just what the #%#%%^ I meant in the first place. However, this is not do to age, as I'm sure our esteme associate might be tempted to mention or point out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , but is the association of one who dabbles in scientific research with continuous hypothisis and theories wondering around inside for contemplation behind the whys and what-nots of the universe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

(besides, its getting harder to read the small print at my age, just need stronger reading glasses) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Tesco, I have no problem if your friends what to join in, I'll go along with what everyone else says.

GT,
"no one over the age of 50", isn't this a form of discrimination due to age? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Just becaue I have reached beyond the half century mark doesn't mean I'm ahh, well, just a minute, the thought was there but it got away, oh, there it is, I'm not senile yet....... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

My Take III:
Size = 255 planets (because GrowlTiggless thinks I need it)
Type of Map - I Like Cluster
Racial Points - 2000
AI players yes/no - Yes so others can join later. Maybe an agreement between us to only defend agaist them.
# of planets - Lots more
Tech starting levels - Low, (Make Tigless learn the hard way)
# of starting planets - One
Role Playing Races yes/no - If you don't, I'll be foreced to declare war
all warp points connected yes/no - Yes
Numb of hour turns (example only, 24hr, 48hr etc) - Does this mean the time allotted to take turn? If so, 24 and allowing for extenuating circumstances
Any restrictions or whatever you feel should be or not to be included in the game, example only,
star destroyers - no,
People with "smbiotic lifeforms" about their lips get extra racial points
People who wear large shiney belt buckles get additional racial points
People whos dates / wives post here get 1000 extra per poster
All of the above are cumulative
