Hey have you guys noticed that no one is talkin' bout Enron. All hush hush like there is nothing going on. Lets quickly forget this ever happened.

Very Strange.

Gryphin's Fyre, I thank you for your generous offer. Mrs M. is a pro, however, her comment was more like, "serves you right, you enjoyed yourself a little to much on those sites", even tho I explained it was strictly for scientific research and to perform an unobjective view upon the guilt or innocense of allegations against one of our honorable members brought before the court, and asked her to help in my theraputic therapy in regards to overcoming my current condition. (I can't print what her response was to this request.) (However, I have deep suspicion she was enjoying the break in activities, sigh) Alas, I must suffer alone and in blissful peace with only my lovely Grand-daughter showing concern for her Bud.

Tesco,

I agree, Enron appears to be a hush hush situation, my opinion only, probably involves a lot of big fish and is more then likely bigger then Watergate was, What we need is some good investigative reporters to get in there and let us know exactly what's going on. Don't see that much in the papers on it and yet more affecting then watergate. hmmmm

Growltigga,

Greetings and Salutations, good to have you back, hope you didn't strain yourself too much while enjoying the sights And I have a good number of friends that are Lawyers, In fact, in my current hotseat game, 1 is a lawyer, another a minister and the 3rd member is retired.

Saxon,

Just because I'm older, mature, respectable, modest, scientific, dashing, swauve, humble and shy, I thank you for the complement of elder. However, even though I play SEIV quite a bit both SP and in Hot Seat, I have never played a PBW game. Therefore, I am a newbie in this area and defer you to one of the veterans like Tesco, Phoenix D, Mephisto(if he's still talking to me, ) or one of the others as far as setting up and hosting the actual game. I'm afraid they will have to help me get the hang of PBW.

I remember someone saying a 48hr turn time, I have no problem with that if its agreeable to everyone else. We also need to know who all wants to be in the game, as well as, the number of AI, settings, etc. I can help set this part up just by everyone posting their wishes on this thread or leave it up to whomever wants to host it.

BUT, as far as dialoge goes and setting up your race, I just thought we could at least start getting into it by designing our various races and begin a role playing dialoge here within this thread in addition to our normal banter, to hype everyone and see what dastardly deeds, threats, or mayhem develops among us players, could be quite fun

Gryphin, If as we hope, M'Lady is indeed a seperate entity of the opposite sex, Does she play SEIV and would she like to join in?

I'm still talking to everyone here.
Awful lot to do at the moment, just writing a verdict and trying desperately not to cut and paste SE4 beta reports and forum postings into it. Would look a little weird if such thing would slip by.

Example of possible dialoge:

To; Your most Furry and most Bodacious Hive Leader "Tiggles" of the Tigga Collective,

We, the Tkachik Federation, who are the most humble and peaceful of races, have observed your most hideous looking spawn, cruising thru our Attica System. We must insist that you remove your cat-tails at once or suffer the indignity of being throughly trounced by our superior and valiant naval forces. If you have sufficient reason to enter our beloved realm of influence, be so thoughtful as to submit in writing, which must be in triplicate and signed by responsible co-signers, your repulsive explanation as to this most inexcusable violation of our space.

Sincerely

El-Supremo The Magnificent
of the Tkachik Federation

Sounds much more like the good old Vogons. Don't we all love bureaucracy?

GrowlTigga, :: Deep bemused grin ::
Welcome back. I hope you enjoyed your vacation and stayed out of trouble.
As for the condition of this thread, I never defend. I will bring all forces at my disposal to parry and thrust.
No, the other site is not wready.
My moustach? Seeing as only men don't seem to like it, and my dates do, your point is moot
Your court? Like the judge?
The court is clearly that of this thread, and we all like the judge, we simply question his qualfications to preside here.
It is good to see you in such fine spirits.
Oh, and how does feel to get a taste of your own medicine ? < deep rolling chuckle >

Greetings!

a few comments...

Mr. Tiggles...
As to the recent Posts sounding a bit medieval, if you read my profile you would see that I play an Online Role playing game... thus the medieval type speak.. it's a habit I have and it is VERY hard to break with tradition.. as you being british would understand completely. I apologize if my choice of verbal communication is a bit archaic and offends but then again.. 'tis who I am.

I do have a thought for you though, in reference to the "pay you" part of one of your Posts.. I don't really know how your wife would feel about you casting aspersions toward any womans line of work seeing as it clearly states I am a Graphic Art Tech in my profile.. need new specs? or, do you suggest that I am being paid by Sir Gryphin to be an ONLINE compatriot? Hmmm.. makes one wonder...either way suggests you may need to re-evaluate where you spend your free time such as in bars in spain oggling the wait staff in front of Mrs. Tiggles. If in your dotage you carry the same actions of your youth, "sloshing hormones" and all, Mrs. Tiggles has her hands full and has my blessings. Perhaps you would bode well to have a clear head when in battle, putting the hormones in a jar, tightly sealed and waxed tight.

Saxon
As for Roses... perhaps Sir Gryphin can elaborate on the "bed of Roses" he presents to me when I do see him. He is kind enough to remove Most of the thorns for me as well.

Dear Mac
I unfortunately battle on different grounds than SEIV. Orcs, Ice trolls, Deamons and the like are my foe, although I tend to stick to my crafting and magery. I am tempted to particpate but I am not as well versed in strategy as some are here, and would never assume to be as good as to play on the same field as you or your companions here.

Be well and safe journey to you all.
Gryphin's Fyre

To bring all of this back where it started, I note that Gryphin’s Fyre states her interests to include “Covered Wagons”. A risk of another injury to Mac’s wrist, would you care to explain if this has any relation to “Circling the Wagons?”

Mephisto, you have put me in a terrible dilemma. Do I play an obnoxiously self assured imperialist race or do I play race of leave canceling, bureaucracy loving buggers?


Cheers to all for the sympathy about my leave.

[quote]do you suggest that I am being paid by Sir Gryphin to be an ONLINE compatriot?[quote]

Yes, that was the total ambit of my suggestion. Please do not think I was implying that your good character had any sort of commercial negotiability to it

[quote] Hmmm.. makes one wonder...either way suggests you may need to re-evaluate where you spend your free time such as in bars in spain oggling the wait staff in front of Mrs. Tiggles. [quote]

As a separate point, "GT", "Tigga", "Growltigga" and "Tigs" I can handle, "Tiggles" is a step too far down the beatrix potter lane

Mrs GT is well aware of the attractions in Spain. She spends her time shopping in Zara and Arrarat - I spend mine having a cafe american in the Zahara bar on the Gran Via in Madrid watching the scenery and admiring the local architecture - mobile and otherwise

[quote] If in your dotage you carry the same actions of your youth, "sloshing hormones" and all, Mrs. Tiggles has her hands full and has my blessings.[quote]

I think that is why Mrs GT married me - I am sure it has nothing to do with my good looks, charm, panache, style and elegance
