J4/Joe,

Welcome back to our thread!!
I've certainly missed your participation and your GNNs.
Good to see you playing again.

Come back to the Fellowship, Miles.

You and I spearheaded the assault against the MWC the first day you joined us. We've got the GROSS'ers in our sights again, we could use your Battle Songs and Fists Of Death for the coming fight.

Pontius, I have considered your offer, and I do enjoy the occassional drink (j/k, I know you're not drunkards), and the offer is very very tempting given your current standings, but for the moment I have decided to rejoin the Fellowship because I feel most comfortable here and fit in well with my RPG background and such. Sorry if I seem to be creating melodrama about my role here.

Thanks for your kind words H50 and Ray.

--Naismith out.

hehe, seeing "Naismith out" there suddenly gave me an urge to go reread all those Bujold books.

All of my posts recently have been directly related to Galciv, and the creative writing urges haven't really struck me since my first couple posts here. But I wanted to say to Miles, Ray, Gengsta, Mad Prophet, and everyone else that I do really enjoy seeing your writing and your stories here, in spite of my unfortunate lack of participation within those stories.

A deep melodious voice harkens from afar:

Cry for Death
Try for the final test
Soon it will be upon us
And cry we will
For the enticing bloodlust
of each and every kill...

Our warrior bard is back.

Small, Painful, Military = 13,000.

Small, Crippling, Military = 14,000.

Not much of a difference between the scoring on these two levels, is there? I guess that's fair. There wasn't much of a difference in the difficulty, either. I'm thinking I'll try a larger map next time.

Ray: come on! Get your number 1 spot back. I'm rooting for ya!

                      
#683  by Citizen Wild Wombat - 7/28/2003 1:09:54 AM

Killa! That's not something his nemesis would say! And that's our boy Staffa on top - what are you thinking!! Ah...trying to lull him into a false sense of security, ayy......

No rush, Chris.

I'm already pushing my personal Galciv burnout threshold. Didn't realise that I've played 16(!) games during the last 31 days. That's a game every two days!

That useful piece of info was revealed to me by our mathematical trio of IceMole, Gengsta and Kit.

Yes, you've been working too hard lately. You deserve a break. I grant you a month's vacation from Galciv playing. Enjoy.

                          
#686  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/28/2003 2:05:56 AM

Well, even with the resurgence of Staffa the Incredible and the 17k that he just contributed to GROSS, we have closed the gap to 17k.

Good job people.

Everyone of you count and I thought I should emphasise them. And I don't just mean score-wise, your contributions in the forum are also valued.

"Yes, you've been working too hard lately. You deserve a break. I grant you a month's vacation from Galciv playing. Enjoy."


I sure would love a break. I will take one once the Fellowship overtakes GROSS. Else I will plug away.

                        
#688  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/28/2003 2:39:34 AM

It would be great if someone can do a Metaverse Calculator program, IceMole.

Getting the games into month blocks is the most complicated and tedious part of it.

Yeah, they were such exciting books and her use of vocabulary is excellent. I too plan to reread them someday. I'm currently reading a Star Wars series, but some day when I run out of new books to read...

I love Miles' internal dialogue--his thoughts are racing along at a million miles an hour and the goofiest ideas keep on coming out. He might be my favorite character in all of science fiction and fantasy.

"Yes, you've been working too hard lately. You deserve a break. I grant you a month's vacation from Galciv playing. Enjoy."

Don't do it Ray. I took a month off and went from 63rd to 500+...yikes. Minimum score for top 10 back then was 20000...now, that wont even get you in top 25...yikes

Well, with your playing you will make it back on top soon.

Later,

Joe

Our Ray is a driven man. He works hard and he plays hard. Damn. That is such a good line to start a story. No-one use it until I can think up something!

Truly, I don't now how ya do it Ray. The last couple of weeks I just couldn't face doing the colony rush again (and I'm talking small maps!). You know management principles: delegate! Don't go the major burn-out route and disappoint all of your fans and comrades. And dare I say, your team is a pretty good one: full of beans. They'll do you proud when you have a gaming break.

                      
#693  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/28/2003 4:50:38 AM

J4,

Noticed you played a game on 24 Jul using ver 1.04.
You can actually resubmit your game under current 1.05 version if you have a save. I think you deserve more than 4k for a Crippling Large.

                        
#694  by Citizen J4 - 7/28/2003 5:23:16 AM

Thanks Ray, will do that!

                    
#695  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/28/2003 5:57:05 AM

J4, the Metaverse currently allows you to resubmit any version to the current 1.05 version.

However, after I've thought about it, I'm not too sure whether that's a good thing to do as earlier versions are supposed to be easier and thus deserve less score.

I'll leave it to your own decision, J4.

                        
#696  by Citizen J4 - 7/28/2003 6:30:16 AM

Hey Ray,

Thanks, but I just remembered that I deleted all the save files when I upgraded to 1.05...hmmm...bummer. I have enough space on the hd, should have made a backup.

                    
#697  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/28/2003 1:46:04 PM

I chose to upgrade the 1.44 defective score games cross version The rest I left alone. The scores were legit in those.

Calling Miles Naismith.

Care to sing a battle song to go in the WotW? If you get it in by tonight, I'll place it in the current installment. If not, it will go in a later one. If you don't want to sing one, there will be nobody to rally the Fellowship.

I'm strapping for content to catch up with Grekkan's chapters. Any body willing to post a ballad or something please be my guest. LOTR had many songs and many more were cut to make the trilogy short enough.

A long song about CariElf, anyone? Just like the one about Tinuevielle - however you spell her name.

                    
#699  by Citizen Miles Naismith - 7/28/2003 3:29:25 PM


I have a busy schedule today, and I'm not good off the cuff. I haven't kept up with the WotW stories also, so I don't know if I could create anything appropriate in time for tonight, but I will read WotW to get a feel for it and maybe compose a song for later; I just need some time. We do have another bard, I have been told, so someone else may want to take up your quest instead.
What type of song should it be in the event I am the one to write it, and should I just post it here for you to paste into the WotW thread?
