More like 20 minutes...

And you remind me more and more of Coyote every day. All these little traps always blow up in your face.

I tried to warn you.....

BEEP! BEEP!

We have to maintain our Aussie tradition or Apolytoners would be disappointed

But seriously, I'd be interested in a poll on the issue of significantly holding up play to negotiate. I was surprised by Makeo's comment.

I don't know how it took so long, but I understand that the negotiations have to finish before moving units.

It took roughly half an hour. There were two negotiations that were cutting across each other. Mix in some confusion about who was talking to whom about what, whether the numbers being quoted were latitude or longitude, Deity clogging up KC with his complaining, a maximum amount of perversity from Deity and Horse - what would one of our games be without their perversity? - and you have a recipe for a delay.

There's nothing wrong with negotiating boundaries in your turn. As has been said, a boundary will dictate where you move your units if you have moves left.

No that's not true. I reduced my forces when I went to republic and in ratio their number seem to be almost identical to yours..........so I'm not sure what your point was...

Anyway I've found 2 completely undefended cities of yours. That's what I call risk taking.

I told Mrs Hydey that we would not be talking about civ at the dinner, we would have a normal conversation about our pet kangaroos.

I hope you're not going to bore the spouses with civ tittle tattle. That would be very poor form, especially once you've got a couple of drinks under your belt, lol.

As far as I'm concerned what happens in the game, stays in the game.

Ms deity knows nothing about the in-game stuff and she won't listen, so in this wider forum and over dinner I will crave it.

Thanks spike! Yes, I thought the preceeding posts made for good fun

My leader's name in this game is Madman Don Rumsfeld. I'm fast running out of Bush bodyparts after which to name cities. I have, of course, not used his Heart or Brain, or, indeed, IQ. That which doesn't exist shall not appear.

You've given me a wonderful idea for renaming any deitician cities which may fall into my hands.

Trev said he'd definitely be here and I'm a cert... so if Hydey shows we can start that 5 way I've been angling for
Assuming the most reliable Msrs Horse and finbar are here... we play with the combo that shows.
