Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

looks like the game disappeared

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Sorry, I cannot increase the number of players again but as it seems I can decrease it. Unfortunately I decreased it to 4 so I had to delete the game and set it up again. Now there should be enough space for everybody. If I would have known that Brat was a friend you I would not have kicked him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif But I didn't know and I had to kick several players as the open spots filled very fast. Nevertheless now there are enough slots open.
Thanks again Geoschmo for the fast help with setting up the game again!

What a jolly nice thing to say Arak Koba, many thanks and glad to know there are some (other) highly intelligent, genteel, sophisticated and suave individuals on this forum who recognise excellence and style in all its forms - I salute you

The 'fifth' star I can survive without. What worries me more is this spurious military rank of 'Lieutenant Colonel' I seem to have for all my irrelevant Posts - Us Brits don't have this rank, it is a complete US'ism - I feel like I should be walking around with a shaved head and smoking a cigar going on about "crackerjack boxes" like the military adviser from Civilisation calling myself Stormin' Norman or something

Rats, I uploaded my empire yesterday afternoon UK time - if the game has been deleted since then, I will probably not be back at home for the next few days so will not be able to upload until Wednesday at the earliest

Mephisto,

You are just looking for a chance to show your efficiency off again. Let us see if you can authorize my entry to the game in less than two minutes on the second time!

Tigga,

Those PMs never came through, I trust it was nothing more important than your usual requests for gaming hints on how to beat Gryph.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon, the PM's were reccomendations for pubs so your loss I am afraid

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina

And I did not see you in there gryphin.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

ok, question from PBW illiterate, my race is ready, I joined the game, pending approval from Mephisto, so do I have to wait for the approval before I can upload my race?? can't find any icon to upload it

mac

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mac,

Yes, you have to wait for approval, but you have been given it, so go ahead an upload. The icon is the same as the load cargo icon in the game.

Mephisto,

Since you have sinned so terribly by taking 17 minutes to approve me, you should feel very lucky that you are not in the game. I would have been forced to attack you senselessly and relentlessly until you became one with the Fluffy Bunnie Species. Then again, maybe I would have found some nice lettuce and carrots and forgotten about the whole thing.

Tigga,

We ended up in Windsor looking at long lines of people waiting to see the Queen Mum. You are right, I should have gotten your pub recommendations.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Oh, carrots! No problem. Shrek gave me his as I'm the donkey. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

You know I spend a lot of time lurking on this board watching you bar guys. You're driving me nuts...you've been talking about organizing a PBM game for how long now? At least a month or more...just play it!

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Mephisto, was that 1 minute 4 seconds? or ...
Gotta love automation. (except when the power is out).

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Capt. Kwok, 1st I must disagree with brother Tigga, I believe it was over 6 months, I thought GT and Gryph started the challenge in October, ohh well,
2nd we had to wait until everyone received their copy of gold, Saxon was out kissing mooses up north, mephisto was carousing around dining on carrots, Gryphin was researching more into CTW and TGP, I was in the midst of having a mechanical disagreement with my #$^%$%$& computer,
Tesco was out discovering some new sauce, Growltigga was sipping brewskis at sit down cafe's watching the bouncing sites go by and everyone else... well thats why this is a Bar & Grill Cantina, to help wile away our time.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mephisto, congrats on your time of old Gryphin

PS In reading the how old threatd, I'm glad to see some more of us older, more mature, suave, modest, members of the older generation are on the forum, I'm sure they have delved into the science of research during their fruitful experiences, possibly they may have discovered more on CTW or TGP??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also had to baby sit for granddaughter Last nite, so didn't get chance to upload empire, will do so tonight, hopefully

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Right, with that display of typical teutonic efficiency, I do believe Mephisto (Esel to his friends)has accepted all of the 'Bar & Grill' possee to the game

What do we do now? how does Mac embark on his quest for galactic domination at the expense of fluffy bunnies and furry felines everywhere? has my shipset loaded? I dont know?? what is going on?
Has Captain Kwok got the right idea? help, I do not understand what is going on?

Actually, on a very funny note, Mrs GT had her first sight of the forum the other day - I did ask her to participate but she said that 'I was a sad man and more likely to have a knee trembler with Cameron Diaz than get her on the forum" - she also said that most of the participants probably had beards

Now, we know about Gryphin and the furry fellah infesting his top lip, I am about as follicly challenged as Patrick Stewart (with the same posh English accent)

Mac? nah, old boy with a marine haircut
Mephisto? nah,. young German looking like Michael Schenker
Saxon? definate beard potential there
Tesco? potential beard potential I feel

This is probably information we should share before this game starts - there is still time to back out

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

mac, in your reasearch, could you figure out why you and GrolTigga are funnyier than I am?
It is gaulling to be outclassed in this area.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Beard? Of course I have a beard. It would take all the fun out of kissing moose if I didn’t have a beard.

Have you ever read Castro’s essay on beards? He sets out, at great length, how wasteful shaving is. He calculated the time and expense that each man goes through every morning shaving. He then multiplies it by the number of men in Cuba and calculates the wasted man-hours and resources each year. His conclusion is that shaving is counter revolutionary and a waste. Thus, his bushy beard.

Oh, as far as I know everyone is on board and we could actually start playing.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Beard confirmed here as well. Not big and bushy and viking like, admittedly. It's actually very pretentious and slightly comical- a short goatee with an inch- thick unshaved "ridge" running centrally from bottom lip to chin. I'm hoping to grow the central bit long enough to plait. Maybe then it will stop looking silly...


BTW, I should think poor Ms Diaz' knees would tremble!

Actualy I am 1/2 Irish, (and 3/8ths English). I've a strong connection to the Celts. Don't forget they once occupied most of Europe stretching from the Brittish Isles to the Casbian Sea.

Hi thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Are you taking to me ?? I'm indeed French, with mustache and beard, but 1/2 Italian, so no Asterix/Vercingetorix looks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

In regards to a beard, alas, I must decline, In my younger college days I had a beard it just seemed like the right thing at the time, nowadays, clean shaven, except for on top, there it is thining out quite nicely thank you, it is the sign of distinction and besides, Bald is beautiful, and some of the fairer sex, even consider it SEXY.. I do admit to a rounder midlife tubular type middle but again its more due to age then Brewski's (also from sitting behind a desk too much at my age) I must confess that for several yrs prior to my wedding, I to had a symbiate relationship with a furry Wooly Bear upon my upper extemities, however, after putting forth my eternal vows of everLasting companionship with the now Mrs Mac, the poor little thing, twitched its ears, shed some of its torso and left me to seek a far more enjoyable host. I do hope the little furball is quite happy upon its new location.

Saxon, I should be uploaded late tonight if everything goes well, (no babysitting, no storms, no electircal discharge, no $#%^$^computer problems etc).

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon...
You definitely need to reveal where this Castro essay on beards can be found. In world of professionally intellectual wives one needs all the big boys one can get.

And besides, I think my wife respects Castro too much to dismiss his reasons out right. If it helps, you'll have witnessed the only real liberation any Communist dictator has done for the modern post-industrial capitalist.

Pretty please...

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Captain Kwok, please give us credit, we have been talking about the International Challenge for the best part of 5 months, I believe it just end of November/start of December Last year that Gryphin issued the challenge

The best things come to he who waits... this game is going to be a doody after all the testosterone fuelled poncing going on over the Last quarter

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

So I can finish my current Proportions PBW before joining in on your game then? We've only just started but I've probably got time to fill a few sphereworlds with cultural centres...

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Cpt Kwok,
As you may have noted, we enjoy the banter. To me it is a form of Psy warfare. I have learned more about the players by what they do and do not say. Weather it is banter or a serious quesiton, it reveals a lot. This is not to say:
I am going to win.
I don't love the cut ups. Without GrowlTigga and mac and the others, my day at work would be boring.

I belive my 9th post on these Boards was to ask the Moderators not to take the banter as flaming.

&lt; Edit: &gt; Um, As for "driving me nuts": Cpt, didn't you read the warning at the beginging of this thread? "Caution: This Thread May be Hazardous to Your Sanity"
&lt; /Edit &gt;
mac, I should be Online tonight.
Guys, I expect to be uploading the Aeris of Gryphin tonight. Computer Gods willing, The electricity don't fail, and nobody pushes the Big Red Button.

Castro’s Beard and where to find the essay. Hmm, I saw it about 10 years ago in hard copy, so I do not have any weblinks. I will have a look at Google and see if it is any help. I do have some good stuff on Cuba’s involvement in the Angolan civil war…

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

I hear that Castro wants to have his beard shaved off after he dies, and saved at the Cuban historical society musuem for all too see. Sick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
