Kronos and MB encounter
 

Some weeks ago, the Emperor Kronos (my best ally during the second and definitive Galactic War between the Chaos Contingency and the GDI, in the SE3 times), did a brief trip to Montevideo.
Sadly, I was working and we only had time to lunch together... and talk briefly about the time we ruled the universe!!

In the picture, of course I'm the short and fat guy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

The world will never be the same!

Hell we were fortunate there was no explosion when they met. I count myself lucky....

Hey, at least you got your hair.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Your picture reminds me of my dad for some reason.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

For those who don't know, the Emperor Kronos has taken a year off from the real world to live in the other universe, planet: Earth, continent: South America.

So far he has spent ten days in Costa Rica, two and half months in Ecuador, four months in Peru, two weeks in Bolivia and is finishing up his first month in Argentina.

He is travelling under the guise of Paul Dionne and has posted pictures and thoughts at http://www.pauldionne.com/sa Unfortunately, his assistant has been lazy and deserves to be shot for not having added any new pics/information in quite a few months.

In the meantime, emails to the (unchanged) empire email address: MinervanEmpire@yahoo.com and instant messages on AIM MinervanEmpire will continue to be answered.

I am confident he would enjoy hearing from his old friends.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Hello and welcome to the forums.

And that's all I can think of to say. Brain tired.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Wow. I remember GDI v. Chaos. Minerva, MB's empire (Aquillians?), Instar, myself (Cerban), and a few others I can't quite recall... seems like so long ago. Six or seven years, I think.

Nice to see that you two could get together for a chat!

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

I like how the pose was done in front of the very impressive statue. I can just picture you both thinking... "Some day I'm going to change that statue!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Great to see two Galatic Rulers meeting on such friendly terms. I for one could not see any daggers, poisons, snipers or even small high tech explosives in that picture. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

It wouldn't need much, just a new plaque. From a distace the guy on the horse looks like he could be Kronos. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Considering this weekend he will be in Uruguay again... be prepared for a new shift in te world!

hehehe, maybe next time!

Wise words Narf, wise words.


Hum, it was something related to your father's height and you?


Hey Will, always believed you was the leader of the Lithium empire, not my old friend! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

This would have happended with some of the Chaos Contingency leaders! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

hahahahaha.
By the way, the guy in the horse is "Artigas", our national hero.
It's an statue done in Italy (around 1900), with the style of the renaissance. The similarity with the Donatello's works it's obvious (the Gatamelatta and Colleoni's statues as example).

Hey old friend, how have you been? I’ll bet the little ones aren’t so little anymore. I’ve been following Paul’s adventures on his web site; be careful or he will have you hiking up a big mountain http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif


For those of you who came too late for SE3, these are two of the SE3 Masters. And two of the nicest guy’s you’ll ever meet.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a post under that name. It brings back old memories. I was thinking that you guys might bump into each other down there. Now all you have to do is convince JL to visit DC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hi Thermo! How are you? Tell me when you want to have an slow paced SE4 game again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yea... you're right! Will sent you a few pictures.

In Uruguay he's hopeless... does exist just a few hills to climb here!

hehehe, more probably we would eat a typical "asado". I promise to post pictures!

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Hmmmm.... Uruguay? you're close to my unimatrix, errmmm... country.... i'm from Argentina.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

I had a chance to visit some Aqulian ruins while on my trip.

My Aquilian guide

Me at ruins

The first shot was taken from the high mountain top just behind me in the second photo. Just a testament to Thermo's comments about hill-climbing.
<end rp>

Thermo, you are too kind. I do miss my time playing but I really miss the people more. I was joking with MB that you live just outside DC and I have never met you but met him even though he is half a world away.

If you guys ever get a chance to visit South America do it. There is so much to see and it is fairly cheap (if you are willing to stay in hostels, Bolivia being the cheapst at USD$2.50 per night).

Uruguay was not what I expected. I did not read up on it at all before going. It has the highest wages of all the countries in South America. There are 2 and 3 bedroom beach-front condos for sale for over USD$350,000. By comparison a waterfront condo in Lima Peru currently runs about USD$60,000.

You should be talking about "Punta del Este" (180kmt from Montevideo). Yes, there everything is very expensive...

By the way, the condo where I live (has 2 bedroom and yes, it's small) in Montevideo, cost around USD35,000... and I'm close to the coast (more expensive).

Hey, both pictures are very very nice!

Are you from BA? Time in time I need to go there due work.

Do you know Andrés? (from the forum, I mean).
He's from Rosario.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Yes i'm from BA, i think sometime ago he (Andrés) posted something saying he was from Rosario but i was not sure until today http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ) anyway he is a bit far from here.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

You do know that I am in Buenos Aires right now, Arenales y 9 de Julio. It is in Retiro.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

OMFG!!! on the week i work on Corrientes & 9 de julio, so damn close!

I know, I know (how to forget the Negro Olmedo and Fito Paez?). But it's fairly more close than me in Montevideo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Cool, I was in the Broadway Hotel living many months, in 2001. In fact, I was there when De La Rua lost the power... When I remember those days, seems to me like a bad movie.
My God! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Anyway, I love BA.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Well, this time we had more time!

In the pictures, I'm showing some facts:
- The proof that we never wanted to eat the world!!
- Kronos is capable to do an "Asado" like a true "Gaucho".
- We had time to climb a few mountains!

hehehehehe

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

I like barbeque.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

But do you like more the cheese, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

We are all fat guys..... well most of us any ways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Those women in the back ground on the left, sitting on the bench have no idea that two of the universes greatest leaders are in their presence or that the digital photo they are now in has been posted on the web. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Cheese is part of the 'Narf' persona, which I made up to have fun on the web. My favorite food is actually liverwurst. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But cheese is good, to. I once bought $20 worth of cheese just to eat it. Didn't eat it all at once, though.

Re: Kronos and MB encounter
 

Oh yes those days..... not the best days to visit BA.

just being curious how old are you? i'm 21 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

well i'm not fat, all the opposite.

hehehe, Yes, like you I was thinking these persons never could have suspected that they would appear in a picture posted on the Net.
Also, the original picture it's even bigger... I needed to remove some of them when did the cut...

I'm 37 years old.
And in those crazy days, was working for the ABN-AMRO there.
Thanks God they moved to "Puerto Madero" before the "Corralito"... The branch where I was working before the riots, it was placed in Florida between Sarmiento and Corrientes!

Sometimes I feel the need to remind people. If I've already told you...Well, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
