Re: # of Posts
Gryphin - power naps are a common way to describe anyone asleep at their desk
We are currently thinking of a new description as someone fell asleep at their desk this morning, which was not a problem, until they decided to break wind in their sleep so violently that it went through about 4 tonal changes, Lasted about 12 seconds and was heard by pretty much all 100 people on my floor - power naps does not do that justice? I have also never seen anyone as embarassed as the chap who did this
I cannot believe that you tried to simulate 'circle the wagons' (the clean Version) on SEIV - no wonder you lost
You must remember the old military adage - "never engage in a direct frontal attack against an enemy equipped with efficient projectile weaponry"
or as we say in England
'never enter into an arse kicking contest with a hedgehog'

Re: # of Posts
Oh me, oh my, I have the same problem as Growltigga, I mentioned "Circle the Wagons" to some of my fellow employees, strictly in the furtherance of science research of course, and the topic spread throughout the department as the #1 topic of the day. Needless to say, numerous descriptions and suggestions, of which I dare not put into print on this board, have been put foreward, some quite interesting and most definitly different, I think some new terminology/procedure has been created in this unique area of ahh, umm, research.  We could call this the "Gryphon Way", or "Do the Gryphon",
etc. I don't have the heart to tell them the new explanation, its the most motivation and interest I've gotten out of them for some time now, ha, ha)
Growltigga as to age, I'm a young/old 54
As to topic, I quit going to a lot of Boards because of the Flaming, nastiness, etc of numbers of those there. On some all they talked about were number of Posts each had etc, If you asked a legitimate question, you were ignored, never answered, or flamed if you offered an opinion, this is not enjoyable and is a turn off to the site and sometimes even the game. That's what makes this forum so unique. Its the way one should be.

Re: # of Posts
Growltigga,
1) I know what a "marmot" is though most folks from the USA would not.
2) I always wear heavy boots before entering any arse kicking contest.
3) Not only did I try, but I will try again. Next time it will be with long range direct fire weapons on slow ships. I don't actualy believe it will work, but it will be interesting.
4) Did your equivelent of our Enviormental Protection Agency show up after the "wind breaking incident"?

Gryphin
funny about that, marmots are indigenous to the USA and I beleive are predominant on the Pacific West Coast - but a hedgehog is not like a marmot - hedgehogs are cute and much smaller Versions of porcupines hence the reference to effective projectile weapons
I too always wear heavy boots before entering any arse kicking contest but also have all the cushions from my sofa stuffed down the back of my troUsers
you keep on trying the circle the wagons bit my boy - I will be sure never to be in a situation where your new found military expertise will be of no use
no EPA involvement, just a general sigh of relief that this is a no smoking building
Mac, I am a very geriatric 32 - I am also sulking as the gorgeous young lawyer down the corridor (looks like Claudia Schiffer but with longer legs)has said I look like Shrek!
Hurrah for the lack of flaming on this forum - do you think we can hold an induction and check people out first!?

Re: # of Posts
Growltigga,
Over here a marmot is called a Groundhog or Woodchuck and they tend to to be everywhere, (espcialy in your vegetable garden).
You may have no choice as to when you face my circled wagons.
My office is so stuffy I can't even tell people I play this game. Mentioning the imaginations of your and Mac's office would get me fired.
Hmm, how about "Gryphin Position", Has a ring to it.

Gryphin - do they taste nice?

Gryphin - having seen a photo of you in your general custer hat on your website, I can assure you that any indication that your ships are forming a circle will be met by hysterical laughter
My office is so stuffy I can't even tell people I play this game.
Gryphin, why dont you pretend you are into toad sexing and see what that does for them
Mentioning the imaginations of your and Mac's office would get me fired.
Gryphin - dont blame Mac and me, you started this

Gryphin, I will follow Phoenix D's lead on this, that comment has conjured up an image I really would have preferred not to take with me into the weekend
