| I'm curious. Of your time at "work" what fraction is spent actually working? As opposed to gossiping with coworkers, checking the forums, daydreaming about committing war crimes against the Altarians, and so on? |

Well latelly it hasn't been much, but I cannot be very specific, who knows who may drop by and read my "confession"  . But one thing is certain, in the mid afternoon, when my working days starts to looks like it will never end, reading and posting here does help things go faster (I guess it's the same approach that says that a watched pot of water never boils...). It does not improve productivity, but you can't have it all...
Good week end every one. I spent my day yesterday waiting for the AP beta, but due to time zones, only got it now (late morning, saturday). As always, I was so eager to try it, that I forgot to archive my previous version. I never remember to do that! I hope it will work fine.

| I'm wondering what life will be like once I'm done with grad school. |
|
Well, a few years ago, everybody (parent's friends) kept telling me to "enjoy those years, they won't be back". Every time I used to thought to myself, "that's the same thing for all the other years, isn't it? I guess it's just them who forgot how to have fun".
Well, now that I've been working more and more, with less and less time to do what I want, and with all kinds of barriers (specially monetary ones), and in spite of all the time I spend at work *not working*, I can only tell you "enjoy those years, they won't be back"...

Hi everyone,
I've just started 2 games (making up for the rest of the week  ). One tough/gig/rare, in which at the end of grabbing race I had 8 or 9 systems (which is usually what I have in the end of my medium games) and one AP beta, small galaxy, with everyone in it. The new faces make it for a far more complex strategic game, and the logistics is a big factor in starbase management: I saw a resource available after a war between some of the other guys, and as usual rush build a constructor to grab it (with a ship garding the resource for me). When the constructor arrives, I'm informed that since I have 3 starbases already, this one will cost me 750 to construct ! "Maybe not, sir, I was just looking ... very nice resource you have there ... I'll talk to my wife and come back, ok?".
"and the logistics is a big factor in starbase management" in fact in my case, the lack of it is the most important factor. I wonder where it is hide in the tech tree (if there is such a tech already, or if for now it's just a scale cost.
Except for a few bugs goods (apparently I received 10000bc at somepoint, after a revolution event or something like that --- I posted details in the bug thread) and bad (I have a Paladin stuck in the last month of production: it has been the last month for months!) the game is really good. I think some bigger games in it can be a real challenge.

I got it, Spellforce! Thanks!
Greldon: Outstanding!! If you can get three in it will be an accomplishment!!
I've got a Huge/Maso going right now. Had something personal take me away for a little bit, but I'm planning on jumping back on it.
Rick, good to see you again! Hope you can visit a little more now that football is over!
Well, gang...back to the game!
