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

Greetings all.

First, I am proud to announce that the 'Gryphin & Growltigga' thread is no more - it is passe, it is gone, it has died, it has shuffled off this mortal coil, it has gone to meet its maker, it has gone to the great graveyard of threads in the sky, it has suffered literary disillusion, it has been criticised, it has definately outlived its usefulness.

Second, welcome to the Galactic Bar & Grill and Phong's Head Cantina. The purpose of this thread is to provide a place for all you busy SEIV afficionados and forum lurkers out there to get some OT relief, have a half of shandy and exchange some chat with fellow lurkers - in short, a general discussion thread.

Third, everybody is welcome, even Tesco Samoa

Hello Folks,
Yes, what he said so elequently:
Come on in, take your shoes off, set a spell, and leave a comment.
Enjoy

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

GrowlTigga,
Fixed the number at the G&G thread.
EDIT:
Tesco, Fixed the number again.

I really don't care which Version we use, but if its the gold, will need sometime to play it. Couldn't this weekend, OLD mother nature decided to be unmerciless and knocked out power to my area for almost 40hrs, just got it back early this morning. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Whats everyone preference?

M'Lady Fyre, tis good to find an enlighting spirit among us frayed creatures. I am dismayed that your recent excursion was disappointing, but hang in there, one never knows whats around the next cornor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hey GT, where's the Brewskies? If this is a Bar and Grill Pub, then the ones who started it should stand a round all around for us aged, semi-senile, accruments

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

Mac, anticipating your every need I did arrange for a crate of gripewater and sherry to be on tap but unfortunately, some wretch has scoffed the lot before I could crack you a tinny

If we ever do meet up face to face, then I shall be deleted to purchase a said can of beery comestibles for you

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

Gold please..... Sorry Tigga.

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

Meeting Face to Face:
My Place, Summer 2002, Be there

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

Tesco, no worries. Gryph - we will see what we can do - it would be nice to show all you nancy north americans how to drink - that is still the one thing the English excel at.

Re the International Cat Squishing Session, this needs to start very soon. We will argue about settings later but first, Gold or Standard?

I am brassic so can't afford gold at the mo, I think Gryph is in the same position. Tesco is rolling in it so has his - Saxon has ordered his, Phoenix I dont know about (Gold, not Phoenix himself) Mac - dont know.

So far it is one vote either way (me for standard, Tesco for gold) - can we reach consensus please

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

Phoenix has Gold, I saw him post in the "I Got It Thread"

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

I have gold as well, still haven't experimented withit yet, due to previous rambunctious mother nature, I will go with majority

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

GT, if we ever do meet, the lst round's on you, heh, heh, the 2nd on the Gryphin,, 3rd on Tesco, 4th on Mephitso, 5th on Saxon, 6th on PhoenixD, and then the 7th on me. Since I'm the oldest and therefore probably the most semi-senile, I need to go Last in case I can't remember what it is that I'm to order in the first place http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

"Come on in, take your shoes off"

You really don't want that.

I've had chemical weapons inspection instuments redline near my old sneakers, not to mention how my footwear left outside to dry has knocked down turkey vultures flying over our house.

I don't want to invite UN sanctions.

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

For the love of Pete, take Gold. It fixes many bugs, introduces nice little things and will be easily patch in the future. Sticking with 1.49 will be like sticking with the G&G thread: It was fun but is dead now.

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

Mephisto,
That phrase was good as gold. Wish I had thought of it.

wr8th,
Turkey Vultures in NJ? I lived in New Brunswick in my sordid youth. I never saw any. Then again I never saw a lot of things.

Gryphin:

Oh yes we have those in Central Jersey (had 'em in my back yard), black bears, and now in the northern part of the state, coyotes that have interbred with wolves, not to mention an exploding deer population (the population, not the deer exploding).

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

Gryphin, after wr8th's, aahh, comment concerning his condition concerning his lower parts of his anatamy, I think maybe you might reconsider the part about "take of you shoes", we don't want to scare anyone off or wear masks while we're in the serious aspect of engaging in the illustrious condition of experating the testing of various brewskis here within the new bar/grill/catina to help us widen our scope of playing SE4 and to help us envision the looks and nominclature of new additional races for expansion of our gaming.

Maybe the new races will apriciate his feet or his shoes or both.

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

Gold has arrived.... I installed it but thats it.... just cannot bring my self to play against the computer.... I will play it for the first time against other people. It will be a change if we play stock.... I am so used to playing a hybrid of mods....all rapped into one.

The manual reminds me of the old ssi manuals.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Summer is a good time.... THat way I can sit back and partake in a herf. ( Cigar....) with a nice glass of wine followed by a nice stout.

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

And if Tigga comes out we can deep fry him chips and deep fry him everything else he eats.... even canned goods and maybe something with blood in it as well. IT's 4 tablespoons of lard per 100 grams of food right??


Or curry in a bag

Do not EVER compare me to someone's odorous set of moisture absorbent footwear.

Good weapons plan BTW, would give organic races a real new feel - cue further weapons? the "Armpit of Doom"? the "Flatulentia Beam"? the "Naval Fluff cannon"? ooh the list is endless (and nauseating)

What is perth amboy BTW?

PS Mac, I doubt you would be still standing after 6 sherries - just give me your wallet up front and I will deal with it

A remark like that coming from a native of a country that produced Pamela Andersen and Mike Myers is truly below comprehension and understanding.

Tesco, that is fighting talk - I thought you were the one weho survived off moose butgers, raccoon fritters and deep fried marmot

Us English are leading the way in avant garde fusion cuisine - when I was over in the states recently looking askance at the local riffraff, ALL the TV chef shows were English culinary gurus - Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein, Delia Smith, Anthony Worral-Thompson, Nigella Lawson (grr grr) etc etc

I suspect the local talent is still working out which end of a knife to use (and that is with two choices)

Mac, true but the sad thing is so does fungus

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

Tigga,

English cuisine = deep fried frozen Mars bars. You can pretend that England ends after the Watford gap, but we know the truth.

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

Saxon, deep fried mars bars are a Scottish delicacy and any Scot on this forum would be mortified to be lumped together with us sassennachs - you can actually buy deep fried mars bars in Paris - bit of a rage at the mo' I am hearing

And I refuse to take guff from anyone from a nation that is famous the world over for giving us north american cuisine - I know, I have been there, I have seen the obese people walking past all these fast food joints specialising in the four main north american food Groups, meat, fat, lard and burnt crunchy bits

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

mac, what ja go and tell Phoenix D that we were watching him. Now he will know we are ready with our anti Plague Bomb, Bomb.
The real key though to stopping these is to stop his ships. Somehow I think that is going to be harder. If, I mean when he reaches our planets I think the issue will be moot.

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

what's this? what's this?

Gryph, this sounds like evidence that you and Mac are colluding to form an unholy alliance in our upcoming game in order to sweep the space lanes of everybody else.

Hmm, I know that I am target imprimus for everybody else on this game but how about the rest of the participants forming into a League of Light to cleanse the galaxy of furry lipped Gryphins and Doddering old Tchakik thingummywhatsits? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

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

Hey Saxon, check your private mail quickly - Steve has just called me from New Yawk

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

"Flak from North Ammericans"?, Flak is a static defence against attacking aircraft. I don't consider you enough of a threat to use that strong a defence and when I do, it will not be static.

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

Gryph, please put the Boy's book of aerial weaponry away

Hmmm, anyone else noticed that it must be getting late in the bar, the locals are getting rowdy - typical when north americans have too much to drink, turns into a classic case of cranial-rectal inVersion

English cuisine??? Isn't that contradicting in itself? Better try some food. Something we cook on the continent. Try Italian for example.

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

Hello Dimex. Nice to meet you


Tigga &gt;&gt;&gt; Naked Chef is good. Enjoy the music...

Gryphin &gt;&gt;&gt; please write to your congress and/or their focus Groups to push them to start selling Rolling Rock in Canada

We have SF's Steam Beer now which is fantastic. And their Liberty Ale.

Tigga &gt;&gt;&gt; Orange Cordial is a unknown mixer in NA.
Rose's is the main supplier of Cordial and they only really offer Lime.

Do you two post around the clock or something ???

Mac... SJ is creating a dog and pony show for your current situation on the mod files.... Are you a windows user ??? And do you have MS Office installed ?? And what compression utility do you use ( Winzip, Power archiver, Win XP ) etc....

That way if SJ has not posted his D&P by tonight...then I will send you one..

Take care everyone.... CMM Level 3 Start up and Planning await me all afternoon.. Requirements Gathering and interviews with the customer.....

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

Tesco, the recipes in the naked chef are pretty good too

Rolling Rock is a bit limp, dont you guys get any english or continental stuff over there - some of the german beers are pretty good, the belgian beers are all excellent

I love Roses Lime Cordial - always have a bottle in the house

No, we dont post round the clock but given the 5 hour time difference, we do well on covering most Posts

What is a dog and pony show!!

no, nothing in the search, if it where on my hd, it would be gone by now, i formatted 3 weeks ago and forgot to make a backup..
i did make some comparing program a while ago, but that's gone now, and maybe a tech tree viewer, but that may not have been posted....

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

LemmyM, glad to see you here, thought maybe you went to another forum, there's always room here for anyone who wants to join in.

Reason thread fills up is because of all of our dynamic personalities, informative discussions, (see the old G&G thread on "The Gryphin Position and Circle the Wagons") our prowness at scientific researching of the known and unknown far reaches of the galaxies and the meaning of life's interesting attributes etc,

Tesco, will ck out the thread, use windows 98, winzip,

GT, there is no collusion concerning the Gryphin and myself in the upcoming Universal Galactic Blood letting, ship smashing, Sneaky sneaker seeker biological warfare extravaganza. However, the Imperialistic, Psychotic, Scientists of the Tkachik Empire are open in regards to modest, ahh, err, gifts received from adoring others in regards to Tech and/or resources.

Gryphin, aaahhh the subities of lurking Intelligent Agents, you always need intel, but there are other ways of fighting a war then just smash and bash http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

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

Um, no, I can asure you that The Gryphin positon and CTW have noting to do with dogs or ponies.
A "Dog and Pony Show" is an Ammerican expresion refering to a "fancy" presentation. It comes from the circuss and carnavals that had trained animals "jumping through hoops", (another expression), and other tricks.

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

GrowlTigga, I see, no footware comparizons. You are right, how uhncivilized of me. I guess you were not able to handle such a high compliment.
