	So as not to clog Soren's thread... Increase the size of your Attachments

We should pm some members of GS that haven't poked their heads in here in a while....

alexman
alva
deepo
dominae
fried-psitalon
ixnay
nbarclay
velociryx
vmxa1

we should also talk to aeson about rejoining.

I was going to go ahead and pm these people, but perhaps someone would have reservations?

Ask Aeson. He doesn't have to play.

I think T was more concerned with the others thinking something was up?

I think Aeson could take 5 minutes and come up with a nice smokescreen story to throw out there. Nothing much really, and no one would know about this.

eh?

Okay, so you lured me back in... sorry for being so far away lately, too much is happening, and Internet just isn't a thing to spend a lot of time on right now. Sorry...

I'll try to keep up to date, but don't expect me to become so active as before again, my agenda just can't handle it

This wasn't a cheap ploy to get people back involved in the game, DeepO. We just thought you would be interested in this development.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

No problem, DeepO. I just thought you'd like to be aware of Soren's thread (esp. as a Candle'Bre guy).

But I must say, I wouldn't mind if people visiting this forum helped re-build participation in GS a bit!!

	Get a bigger avatar today!

sleepy, it didn't feel like a cheap ploy, I'm sorry if I sounded that way... that was not my intention. I should have said thanks for the invitation!

The reason why I'm a bit sad is that I somehow miss the excitement of this forum, I miss the excitement of the game. But... my time-wasters are changing, I simply don't play any games anymore (it's been over 3 months, can you imagine that?), and visiting fora is also getting something of the past. Maybe this is just a wave, and my interests will shift back in a couple of months, but for the time being I don't see any change.

I may give some suggestions on Civ4, and I do appreciate the ability to comment a lot, but I doubt I'll be such a hard core player as I've been with previous installments. I'll probably buy the game anyway, just for memories, and hope I'll get around to actually play it as well.

No worries, DeepO.

If you knew what exactly was going on around here lately, I'm not so sure you would be excited (asleepathewheel says ominously)

Good luck.

	Got spare money?

well, yes, but not how you see it... the girl I met in Thailand certainly opened up new possibilities, shook me awake so to say. I'm still sorry it ended, but the main thing that came out of it is that I simply don't spend any free time behind a computer anymore. It feels like I've been hiding for too long, while I never was someone who didn't have a life outside the virtual one.

It's strange, and probably it is a phase, but seeing as it has been increasing over several years (GS being the last extreme case of Internet addicition, I think), I don't think it will ever get back to the old. Transitions, transitions... such strange things. Oh, and yes, in most of them, women play their role

But, uh, just so you know, you will still have to deal with wars, irrigation (crying), and luxury resources, usually in that order.

It was very funny... Catt kept protesting that he wouldn't reall participate, and I kept dropping hints that this was for something else entirely, and he just kept on protesting.

have all been here quite recently, the others not.

edit: meaning I think those three would notice these threads. The others haven't been seen in, well, in some cases a year.

FYI, I make it a point to read through things that seem important. Since I suck at domestic planning and military strategy, I limit my comments to relevant foreign policy discussion, which is a reason, I think, why I sound so quiet.

Thanks for the heads up. I had never been here before as I was not auhorized in the past, well I won't go over that again.

As to Soren thread, I am glad to see it, but I am terrible at that sort of thing. I have no imagination for one thing. The other is I tend to not want to have any impact on sequels and just want them to drop on me as a surprise.

We there are lots of very thoughtful people in the AU mod project.

I sent PMs to Tall Strnager and zeit. Octavian X and vulture are around (see OX' post).

The rest haven't been around for a long time, nor were they particularly active in the Strat forum; that said, if anyone wants to send them PMs to come back, feel free.
