Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina

[Gryphin]

Saxon,
What to do on a date? I am honored by your request.
The secret to my success is “Charisma”. The key to my charisma is humor and honesty. By not trying I usually get far more than I dreamed of. It also helps to assure them you are interested in their:
Core Values, Intelligence, and some other true interest of yours such as hiking or gnu kissing. You can offer to share the secrets of TGP or CTW but be careful. If you can’t deliver, you will lose them.

I'm also confused (and it doesn't take much), i already sent my race to Mephisto, do I have to now send it to Tesco???

Saxon, in regards to what to do on a date, The discoverere of CTW and TGP is most definitly the one to ask, however,

I think your question should be WHAT NOT TO DO ON A DATE.

A. do not tell her that you talk to Moose Kissers, Gnu chasers, Tiggas, Fluffy Bunnies, Gryphins, Furry Feline Fillies, Taz devils, Dogs, those who look like a Scarecrow with a Pumpkin for a head holding a pitchfork, frogs with large protruding eyes, or the numerous other, ahem, gratutious persons that frequent this cantina or the forum..
b. Do not, during conversation, start a discussion on glazing planets, improving upon your quantum torpedos, or the pros and cons of PPB vs WMG
c. Do not discuss how you have taken control of x amount of planets in the Orion system or that the Phong have declared war because you intruded upon their space.

But Research questions are allowed, I would recommend, after a fair amount of brewskis, as to the inquiry if she has ever run across Circle the Wagons or the Gryphin Position. This could be of immense help if she has in fact run across these most elusive of theories. The research potential would be of great help in the furtherance of science. This would more then likely impress her with your overall knowledge into the wonders of the universe and to adhere her mind to yours on a high level of enjoyment. But care must be taken in this area, as if she hasn't and asks you what your talking about, your on your own and good luck on your explanation (but you can blame it on the gryphin )

A man's enjoyment is when he has the computer to himself for a whole day without interruptions and he's playing SE4.....

be careful, be very very careful
look to the sky
its "THEM"

Yea I am taking over the game.

To be fair since I want to play i will set the game up as before but with the auto turned on so the PBW site does the turn.

Unless of course you feel I should only admin and not play.

I have everyone's race except for slapshot and tiggia.

I will send out an email to the current players tonight confirming that i have there races...

The game will be called the same.

There will the same amount of people playing.

Cluster
large
all intel
all research
max ships max units
1.67 patch 1 seiv
am i missing anything ??

[tesco samoa]

players are

me
mac
thebratt
gryphin
saxon
tiggia

slapshot

Am I missing anyone else ???? If so sorry. Post it here and i will make sure your not forgotten.

Fryon did you join the bash game or are you looking at joining the other game (Small universe 10 planet start and start in same system)

Also The Bash game will start when tiggia is ready.

And finally.

I would like to set it to 3 days auto.

That way when tiggia travels for a week he will miss a max of 2 turns.

Is everyone ok with this let me know.

K-M is busy and i said I would take over.

[mac5732]

Tesco, sound ok to me, Definitly want you to play, Dogscoff was talking about playing to, you might want to ck with him also

3 starting planets
med tech start
role play your race
everyone trade with the Tka-Chik empire, give plenty of tech and resources

also should I delete the old doc file or will the new one just over write it?? What happened to Mephisto... I hope we didn't burn him out or his computer..... we'll miss the old sod

Ahhh... Good to be back here. Not only is my Chakra now fine, I've learned how to PBW and add a mod or two, thanks to the help of some very patient, and also SE IV newbie, friends and family.

As I look back on the conversation, I see you all have been having a jolly time. Mac, congratulations and hopes for many more. I'm sorry I missed out on the free brews! I could use some just about now.

Just wondering, do you all play races you have made with pictures you have also made? I don't mind making a race (though what's best for make 'em is a mystery to me) but I always borrow a pre-made shipset.

Cheers and Aloha!

Chardo Mon, Have a brewski on me, (its going on the Tiggas tab, heh,heh) Glad you enjoyed your trip, hope you didn't get to sunburn. I just took my race and shipsets from those in the game, and just changed the racial traits etc, I'm not that good to go making my own yet...I believe The Gryphin designed his own as well as Tesco but not sure, just ask them and they'll help you.

age is the answer to all questions, it never goes away and its always there, can't live with it and can't live without it....

Ssslllurrrrrrppp....ahhhhh MMmmmmmm.... That's much better. Thanks. Now where did those peanuts go? Or is this a healthy pub with some of those toasted soy nuts? I'll take those too.

I've downloaded a few shipsets from the PBW site, mostly for the fun of looking at the various types of art, and be awed at the skill of some of the artist here! I have found one (Gremlins) that I like to use. The name reminds me of my PC's operating system.

Are any of you regulars (I almost think of you as friends after reading so many Posts by you's all) looking for some fodder in a PBW game? If so, I'm in! I've never played any SEIV game past turn 100 so all your talk of high tech stuff goes waaaayyyy beyond me. Still, it is fun reading through your stories as well as how much more fun human opponents are over the AI.

Ack! My better half says we have to take in the deck furniture. And she is always right of course. At least she does like me playing SEIV, it keeps me home, in her sight and available for chores.

Chao for now.

PBW could offer a bet holding and management service.

The amount of legal trouble that could cause...

Someone once suggested a PBW tournament with entry fees towards a cash prize. The idea was shot down as too big a liabilities hassle. This idea is an order of magnitude worse.
