Do slow players ruin the game for you? (Time out:0 days after 17-06-2002, 00:07)
Yup, the game is slow enough already!
NO simul turns balance it out.
Yes, especially in the beginning, when they are opening the map on a second computer
Only when its Deity :P
NO, some players like to squeeze those trade arrows out
NO it gives me time to stroke my banana

For christ sake diety, you reposted the tourny rules in the damn game thread the session before which said no unit gifting. The next session you go and gift units. All you have to do is read the thread, its in black and white END OF STORY. Cavebear was in a horrible position to be put in, he said replay the last 4 turns, or continue on. You guys didn't want to go back and i didn't want to go on. Now i have had enough of this stupid pointless subject.

You really aren't into MP are you. You are talking to a bunch of civ tragics here.

I had the misfortune to play a session of this sad game. One look at the map and I knew it was going to be crap. It looked like Calcutta on a hot day - over populated, cramped, steaming, no elbow room.

I'm beginning to think a lot of the arguments about games really go back to poor choices in game settings.

The big Aussie is a good example. The real problem with that game I've always felt, aside from unprovoked attacks , was the map was too damn big.

And I should know - I made the damn map

Yes that's why we want you to play

But actually not. The Australian games are usually quite peaceful. They are unique in that respect much more diplo than the diplo. Why? Well finbar is an ageing hippy and doesn't like war. Deity is solely obsessed with squeezing every last trade arrow out of the map. And Hydey and I just go with the flow

Of course if makeo plays its a different story because deity is pretty much obsessed with his destruction.

Yeah, I find war takes too much concentration and hard work. Our games are like those scenes you see in just about every little Italian village - a bunch of guys around a table in the sun outside the local bar shooting the breeze.

Quite right. It's sort of an antipodean version of George Witless Bush and Saddam Hussain. Now we just have to work out which is which. Well, Deity's got a moustache. Does George Witless Bush chase ski bunnies?

Bullsh*t - you only play on maps that suit you and you retire early and b*tch about the map if you think you are going to lose.

And I am not the first to say it.

2 highly respected players separately said that same thing about you. I didn't believe it but I found it to be true

Stop posting out right lies, I have never retired from a game off the start other then the one i played with you. And i told you before hand, create those unbelievably shitty maps and i will retire. Most of my games are 4 player games, so good luck finding 3 people that say i quit in the first few turns

Come on i left at 2800bc while already in republic and i had double the cities of everyone else along with Gold and wine and river for my first 2 cities. Basically one of my best starts ever in these sat games.

I didn't say family, i was supposed to get together with this girl, she canceled earlier then it was back on. Now if i quit i certainly would think of a better excuse and not come back and play the crappiest civ...
