Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
I had checked in earlier to see how close we were to the next turn (and peak at the cool banners again), and it looks like MA and LA R'Lyeh banners appear exactly the same? EA R'Lyeh has the Aboleth on the apex of the banner pole, but the other 2 R'Lyehs looked exactly the same when I was perusing the banners. With all the anti-LA R'Lyeh feelings I don't want my MA R'Lyeh mistaken for my younger and crazy(ier) cousin.

Cthulu Ftagn!

Oops, sorry about that one... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'll have to DL that banner mod as well. I especially like the ravens on the Hellheim banner.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
The difference is really small, with LA the center of the star appears hollow and the banner waves a lot more. And I couldn't tell the difference without looking at the .tga images in the mod folder, where they are on a black background.

You'll just need to be quick with communications. "Don't attack, I'm the sane one who's just going to enslave you! ...Err..." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't know if our barbarian cousins from EA also want to, but our sturdy nations should support each other regardless of how far we are from each other.

It matters not. Since time imemorial the oceans have been the purview of the Triton Kings, and so it shall remain.

The oceans boil with many nations, and are not solely the possession of the Triton Kings. Dead Cthulhu lies dreaming for when the stars are right.

Ok, here ya go.

You'll need:
approximately 1/2 lb of chicken breast-meat (white meat)
1 lemon (but get 2, they're cheap)
a pepper grinder
1 ripe avocado
atleast 2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 lb pine nuts
1 large Portabella mushroom
1 lb pasta (this recipe will feed yourself and a date you want to impress)
olive oil, peanut oil, sesame oil-you can get away with one type of oil here
dried red pepper flakes-to taste, but don't overdo it
Worshershire sauce (Lea and Perrins is the best, but just use what you have)
a solid hunk of Parmezan cheese
1 stick of butter-preferrably unsalted, high quality butter-you can use the cheaper stuff, but the sauce WILL be greasier.
Heavy cream (or whipping cream-no, not the stuff that comes in a cannister and goes on banana splits or a kinky person, I mean the stuff that is sold by the pint and you put it in your coffee)

Take the chicken, cut it up into strips and marinate it in lemon juice-use half a lemon, fresh ground pepper, and crushed garlic, set it aside 1 hour before you put the pasta on.

Take your pine nuts and rinse them off under cold water, place them on a paper towel and use another paper towel to pat them dry 30 minutes before the pasta.

Cut up a portabella mushroom (also into thin strips) and put it into a bowl. Marinate it in a tablespoon of olive oil, more crushed garlic, dried red pepper flakes, a few drops of Worshershire sauce, and a little lemon juice. Put it in the fridge 30 minutes before the pasta.

Cut an avocado into strips and squeeze the lemon over it, set it aside in a bowl in the fridge 15 minutes before the pasta.

15 minutes before you cook the pasta, heat up a frying pan (on medium-high heat) for 5 minutes and then add a tablespoon of olive oil and the chicken. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. After 10 minutes of cooking, turn the heat off and put the chicken in a microwave bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic-wrap and microwave it for 1 minute on high heat (just to make sure this recipe doesn't kill anyone with salmonella or e-coli). Clean the frying pan out with cold water and paper towels (be careful not to burn yourself).

For the Alfredo sauce, you're going to want a solid block of Parmesan cheese. The grated stuff you buy in a can won't really cut it. The quality of the cheese does matter, but that's a matter of taste and experience choosing the right one. I personally like a nice American cheese that's been aged 6 months or so, just because the older, better cheeses tend to be very dry, which I don't like as well in the sauce, and they're like twice as expensive-this dish is expensive enough as it is.

Grate the cheese up and have it ready before you put the pasta on. The sauce is simple, just melt unsalted butter-Land 'o lakes is good-over low heat until it's completely melted and then add heavy cream-for the best cream for the recipe, check the back and choose the one with the most fat content.

When you add the cream, MAKE SURE to take the butter OFF the heat and add the cream slooooowly. Too much heat makes the cream angry and it will clot. That's bad. Heat the butter and the cream over LOW heat-halfway between off and medium-and add the grated cheese right after you've added the cream. Cook it-stirring regularly-for 5 minutes. After that, put the water for the pasta on to boil-at a guess, you want around half a gallon of water for a pound of pasta, but read the directions on the box-and turn the heat down to low-the first or second notch above off-and stir it occasionally with a fork.

You can use pretty much any pasta you want, but I encourage either the traditional fettucinni or a nice tri-color rotini. Cook it according to the directions on the box. When it's done, drain it and place it in a large salad-bowl.

While the pasta is cooking, place the pine nuts in a frying pan with a teaspoon of sesame oil and a teaspoon of peanut oil. Saute them on medium heat, stirring constantly, until they start to darken slightly in color. Take the pine nuts out (carefully-they'll be hot) and put them on a paper towel to dry.

Put the pan back on the heat and heat it on high heat for 3 minutes exactly.
Add the portabella mushrooms (don't add any liquid) and 1 tablespoon of butter at the same time. Heat for 2 minutes more, and then turn the heat completely off. Don't stir the mushrooms at all, just make sure they're well distributed across the surface of the pan, and leave them on the burner. This should intensify the flavor and make the mushrooms somewhat dry.

When you put the pasta in the bowl, pour the sauce over the pasta and mix together until the pasta is well-incorporated with the sauce. Arrange the chicken, avocado, Portabella mushroom, and pine nuts over the top in as artistic a way as you feel (but do it quickly so the pasta doesn't go cold) and serve-preferrably with wine, to a date.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
Whadaya mean "working on"? You put your starting giants into a pile, and run screaming into an adjacent forest province (no risk of barbarians.) There, done.

A huge game like this does not favor the timid! Of those willing to risk all, half will be eliminated and half will rise to great power. Of those who play conservatively, none will be powerful enough to challenge them.

On the subject of HP Lovecraft and Spam:
The game needs a Worm that Walks (the soul of the devil bought hastens not from his charnel clay and so forth.)
Common summon or national summon? For who?
Epic hero!?
Should it be a mummification duplicate (i.e. you get a dead hero back as a Worm that Walks?)

Who gave Dr Praetorious caffiene???

By "working on" I meant that I was waiting to connect to the server http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif but thanks for the tip! I didn't realize forests don't house barbarians.

You know, wolf tribe is actually almost as bad as barbarians when it comes to taking out Niefel Jarls, and usually they have more numbers.

After I take my turn, I'll post that to Alexander's.

The first turn is always bumpy, so I think it's logical to be even bumpier for a game like this.

About guessing: I'm pretty sure, that Velusion and I have not declared prophets. (Velusion for logical reasons, and for me... well I have my reasons...)

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
Alot of people chose to patrol the first turn for the added money, i would guess around 30-40 propeths in the next turn.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
By the way, the movie is 'Mindwarp'. It's an apocalyptic survivalist thing with a pretty actress and really bad special effects. Ofcourse, Bruce makes it infinitely better than it deserves to be by his mere presence, but it still has a long way to go to be anything close to a good movie.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
Whoever is closest to the actual total, I'll tell them the home province and identity of their three closest neighbors? Ties are broken towards the player who guesses high, or towards the player who guesses first in the thread.

My guess: 47 prophets.

BigDisAwesome May 17th, 2007 08:45 PM

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
No way, that's too good.

How about everyone betting puts in 10 gold. It's not much to lose and it'll add up nicely.

As for ties, I have no idea. Whatever seems fair I suppose. Closest without going over Price is Right style?

Oh and I'll chip 10 gold in on my bet.

HoneyBadger May 17th, 2007 08:53 PM

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 
No point in my betting, because if I do, then I'm forced to prophetize by round 2 since I picked 62.

Here's the petition to save it:

This is why I don't watch the networks.

Re: Save Jericho!
 
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_pe...d.cgi?09272006

Another petition. The networks are really bad. They killed Firefly, and my other favorite show, Supernatural, I'm sure is in their sights.

Some smart person should invent a web-site where you just send producers money and they send you back the shows you want, commercial-free. That way, it's cash-based, and you don't have to worry about ratings, and less about morons in charge, because you can vote with your dollar, and tell them exactly what you want to watch in the process.

It'd change the world---just send me 5% of the gross profit, since it was my idea http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Weird, I see all players have their turn in now according to the status page, but it didn't quickhost.

I took the liberty of making a new thread where you can talk about TV:

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...;Number=522004

This thread is likely to get uncomfortably large already, even without going OT.

HoneyBadger May 17th, 2007 09:54 PM

Re: Save Jericho!
 
Nothing else to do at the moment but watch tv, I'm just waiting for the password so we can start.

Beside, I think once the game does start, it would be a good idea to lose all 30 pages of this thread and start a new one. It'll make info a lot easier to process.
