Growltigga, how does your friend down the hall look in relation to Elizabeth Hurly? She's a hunk

Now as for your supposed trip, you said you were going home to bed earlier, however, this was right after our, aahh, scientific discussion on the new research theory of the "Gryphin Position",
(pretty suspicious you know)
now either
1. you were going home to expostulate on the topic
of our discussion between your legged co-
worker and yourself
2. To see in dream-land the various hypothisis's
in conjunction between the two
3. To complete some studious actual research into
the realm of our discussion
4. Really go to sleep

However, I will defer to the actual discoverer of this new scientific endeavor "The Gryphin" as to which of the above theories fits in relation to further the scientific process. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

mac, In one of his post, Growtigga mentioned going home to "make love to his Duvet". I wonder: What is a "duvet" and How does his girlfriend feel about him doing so.

Re: # of Posts
 

Gryphin, hmmmm, your right, I forgot about that, I tried looking Duvet up, but for some reason can't find it, this is getting even more suspicious as we go, I think that this needs to be looked at more carefully, I agree, just what is a Duvet and his relationship to it, versus his girlfriend..and it all started during our innocent discussion concerning scientific research, hmmmmmm, just what is he doing over there???? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Mac, you are a dirty old man, I was actually going home to sleep - I think on this occassion, you need to keep 'just some of those ideas' to yourself

I would check the Oxford English Dictionary if I were you - "duvet" is a bed covering like a quilt or eiderdown - it has no ahem connotations at all and the phrase 'love affair with duvet' means you really really want to go to sleep

As for Mrs GT, she is always game on when sleeping is mentioned, that girl holds the records for 22 hours spent in bed on one day - I would point out I was about 350 miles away working at this time and yes she was on her own.

Now I think you two perverts need to combine a cold shower with a 3 mile run apiece

(*^(*^ or some other combo is my way of swearing.


Now I have a question. I have to hide it in here because it is a question of ethics and it is about PBEM ethics ( and the person does come to this site every once in a while but only reads pure game Posts )

Now in the PBEM game 3 humans, 9 computer players 12 clusters 1 cluster each. ( designed map. where the humans start in each cornor and there is only one way out of each cluster to the middle cluster and all the middle clusters are connected with each other plus connected to the cluster above and below ( make sence ??)))
Any way it is a designed map.

I am in the top cornor and another human is in the opposite cornor.

At this current time in the game I have a higher level of cloaking than this other pbem player has in scanners. So I was scouting out the cluster below me ( to invade ) and what do I see but the player from far away has moved in and parked a huge fleet in this cluster below me ( 1 3rd of all there ships from what there saying or 100 ships ) Now we have not met yet in the game. But this fleet is just sitting there. This is in the system that links to his area of the map. While he is fighting a war in the cluster above him. This fleet does not move, it just gets ships sent to it to make it stronger.

I think this fleet is waiting in ambush for me. But in the game the player does not know I exist. So technically they should not be doing that.

Now I think that if this is what the player is doing then it is out of context of the game and cheating.

What do you think???

Growltigga,
I was re - reading the post, I ran across this,
"You must remember the old military adage - "never engage in a direct frontal attack against an enemy equipped with efficient projectile weaponry"
Yes, I believe the English taught that to the French at Agincourt with the longbow.

TS, I can think of several possibilities, either one of the other human players or even an AI one, that he has a treaty or partnership with has shown him your part of the map, or one of the players that has a higher cloak then yours found your system and gave him the info without your knowing it, or Last, he is planning a major offensive into the system he is fighting over or planning to invade yours thinking it belongs to the same enemy he is fighting. I don't know if there is a cheat but I guess it could be possible, but you may want to check out the other possiblities first.

PS. Growltigga, I took your advice and indulged myself in a cool shower, after all the illustrious discussions that took place here, it was getting a bit warm and my wife kept asking me why I kept looking at her with a twinkle in my eye all the time,.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I took the bull by the horns and put the blame on ..... But it didn't work, after all these years she knows me to well,
ahh, women don't understand the intricacies of scientific debate, research, and experimentation

ts: is this supposed to be a RP game? if it is not, i would not worry about it at all and start planning for battle. since you have a symetrical map where rough starting positions are known, players are probably taking a pure tactical approach.

he could be doing lots of things with those ships. but if you found them while cloaked and thus avoided diplomatic contact and he is unaware of your existance in a role playing sense, (and IF it has been predetermined as a RP game where players have agreed to pretend not to know about each other until contact has been made) there are a couple possibilities. 1, he heard about your race from some third race. 2, he is 'cheating,' in the loosest interpretation of the word. in the second case, there are a few things you can do: 1, mention it to him and see what he says. 2, mention it to the game admin. 3, take note of whats happening now, and mention it after he sneak attacks you. 4, circle your wagons and prepair to defend yourself.

but if you were not aware of each other before, how do you know the total number of his ships to figure out that this group is 1/3 of that?

TS, the way you have explained it, I agree that your map starting points is more the problem. It wouldn't matter if he knew exactly where you were. He would know that you started in one of the cornors and he could just build up until he was ready. I think your better off with a game where no one knows where each of you start.
