Subject: MOO2 or Sex ? Which is better
From: burcity1@ix.netcom.com (Craig Wood)

So which one is better - Master of Orion II or Sex ?

Master of Orion II can go on for days - from 10:00 am Saturday to 4:00
am Monday for example.
Sex will usually Last for an hour at the longest.

MOO2 games are always possible if the computer is free.
Sex is possible only if your partner is free and "in the mood".

You can play MOO2 with a group of friends.
Most of us can't/don't have sex with a group of friends.

After you're done having sex, you have to wait a while before starting
a new sexual encounter.
After you're done playing MOO2, you can start a new game immediately.

If MOO2 doesn't work right, Simtex will patch it within weeks.
If sex doesn't work right, it takes years of therapy to change that.

If you're caught cheating at MOO2 people laugh at you.
If you're caught cheating at sex, it results in fights, divorces and
huge monetary losses.

If you have sex alone, people think that's disgusting.
If you play MOO2 alone, people think that's OK.

You can play MOO2 over the internet with someone 2000 miles away.
You have to be in the same room to have sex.

You can get AIDS, or other STD's by having sex.
You can get mouse shoulder from playing MOO2.

If you're repulsive you can still play MOO2.
If you're repulsive you probably are still a virgin.

You can eat a sandwich and have a drink while playing MOO2.

You can play MOO2 with exotic aliens.

When you're done having sex, you have to bathe, and change the sheets.

BUT :

It's fun to have sex while drunk/with someone who's drunk.
The CP's will beat you up even on average if you play MOO2 while
drunk.

It's more fun to have sex in unusual and strange places.
It's very difficult to play MOO2 other than at the computer desk.

If you're creative during sex your partner will love it.
If you're creative during MOO2 people call you a wimp.

It usually takes a minimum of $50 to have sex (dinner and a movie)
It usually takes a minimum of $1500 to play MOO2 (how much was your
Last PC ?)

You can have sex during a power outage (and it may be more exciting).

LOL! Someone should dig up that "se4 is like sex because" thread. We got to over a hundred of them didn't we?

I have (but not in my computer HD right now) MOO,MOO2, BOTF, Civ2, Stars and others i don't remember right now....
At this time, i only play SEIV Gold.

The only two games I'm playing at the moment are SEIV and Alpha Centauri - both multiplayer (SEIV's PBW is the best multiplayer venue I've ever played - thanks Geoschmo!).

I think these are the best two games in their respective genres (4x and TBS) presently on the market. I've played all the Civ games (including the original Civilization board game by Avalon Hill. Anyone remember that one?) and all the MoO games. I am disappointed in Civ3; the gameplay is just too linear to be interesting. In AC, there are many different ways to approach the game and still win. Not so in Civ3. I'm looking forward to MoO3, which seems to take the original MoO (rather than MoO 2) as its inspiration. And, I will probably buy Stars! Supernova Genesis - if they ever find a publisher.

I just started another single player game... still as good as I remembered... fun

I still like Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire.
