I'd be happy to just play a game, but people these days are such weenies with incredibly short attention spans. Can't even get people who can concentrate for more than about 2 hours straight, let alone 20. I remember in the old days, it was no problem finding people who could concentrate on something for 30 hours straight, and there was something WRONG with you if you couldn't easily do 20. Nowadays, you're lucky if you can get somebody who's attention span is longer than 20 minutes. Bah.

Try talking to Zen then. He and I had no trouble playing a game (with 2 others as well) Last night for a couple of hours (until someone won) and then Zen and I chatted for a few more hours after that.

The real problem is that we have too many twitch gamers who think TBS is just really slow RTS. No thinking, no subtlety, no elegance. Just build hordes and throw them at someone. Bah.

Bah, indeed. I recently had the displeasure of making such an acquaintance. He *SAID* he liked strategy games. Then he complained the game was too slow and there wasn't any action! 5 turns later, he'd lost about 5 provinces to random events, and I hadn't even lifted a finger to actually attack him yet. Then on the moment one of the other players attacked him while he was complaining *I* wasn't attacking him, he quit the game.

What a baby.

Then I find out from the person who invited him over in the first place that this person is, in fact, a Starcraft weenie. BAH!
