Dearest Mac,
Having rejoined the beings of the internet(damn verzion phone lines have been down) I come to see your delightful offer and will be sure to comment on the things that I have knowedge on.. your game most likely not being one of them unfortunately.
As for the Dinner offer, I would be most grateful if I could do the cooking seeing that I have never had the experience of Sir Gryphin's culinary expertise *insert silly grin*.
As for rest and relaxation, alas, I fear I shant be able to partake of this extravagance until a aforementioned National Conference (my college is hosting) is signed, sealed, and OVER (please dear God soon!)

The Right Imperial Lords of Sa-Hali do not think upon anything. We know.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

It all depends on the points.

I like to design the race history around the strenghts and weaknesses and the advanced traits.

So when that is all settled then I will design a race.

I will let my two friends know as well. I think they will be in the same boat....

The High Lords of Sa-Hali have monitors installed in their bathrooms, so that when they retire to attend to bodily needs, they can still scrutinize their minions. In addition, when the High Lord flushes, he is able to direct the waste on to the head of the minion of his choice. This encourages workers to maximize their productivity and avoid wasteful habits like posting on internet sites.

Further, it should be noted that the High Lords wear shorts and go barefoot. This is to better allow those races who have been conquered to kiss the feet, ankles and shins of the High Lords. While this does not encourage workers to maximize their productivity, it is entertaining for the High Lords and reduces costs for new socks.

Moose: Yup. Seen plenty, usually in the ditch. My dad hit one a few years ago, which is generally bad for the moose and the car/truck.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Seen a moose? Dad shot one of the damn things when I was a kid and we had to eat moose meat for almost a year. It is not that exciting a flavor and after the 100th meal in a row, you start getting really tired of it. Mom told him he could never shoot another one, so we got white tailed deer and grouse after that.

He also shot an elk once and when he was butchering it, he found a strange piece of scar tissue. He cut it open and discovered that years before he had shot it, someone else had shot it with a .22, a light caliber rifle than was too small to kill it. The bullet was still in the muscle, with a lot of scar tissue holding it in place.

Damn good thing this thread is off topic, I think even Tigga would have a hard time relating this post to SEIV.

Well, my line manager has said my resignation shouldbe accepted as I am obviously not committed to the company and the firm.

My ultimate boss and head of team has told my line manager to go.... ahem.... herself and has pointed out in my favour that calling a member of staff in after a late flight and from compassionate leave is pretty bad.

So where I am now is that I am having dinner with my ulimate boss tonight to discuss things (salary will be right a the top of my list I can assure you as will my line mananger)

Failing which, I have spoken to a friend at another firm who would be game on indeed.. so the answer is

No, I have not been fired, I resigned and if I do leave, I have somewhere to go

so stinky one, what is the manual like on Gold then

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

GT, "Bald is Beautiful", tho I do have some hair left at my age...

The manual is nicely done, a little more informative then the old one, better explanations in some areas with better descriptions and examples of various screens, gives some points on modding if your so inclined, but doesn't mention anything much on drones or how they are supposed to work other then you can use them to hit ships or planets. Can they also hit a battlestation? Overall I would say its better then the original SE4 one. But, it still lacks some explanation areas, at least in my opinion. Example, It gives a listing on all the mods included on the CD, but, As I am not all that computer litterate, It doesn't give a step by step process as to how to download them and then where to look to find them or how to access them. I know you download them off the cd or from the program, but then where or how do you access them for play. Remember, I'm asking this as one who plays on the computer but doesn't get into the intricacies or workings and yes sometimes, us poor old senile gamers need some of the youngsters to hold our hands and walk us thru. Also once you download the mods, if you pick random ai's does it pick from all the races including those from the mods, or do you have to go and only play each mod seperatly to get the new races? My opinion only remember, I love the modds and can't wait to play them, but I just thought there would be a better table/whatever as to walking me thru to get them... But I am willing to learn and shall ask the modders for help, all in all, better then the old one and I do like the mouse pad...
