Team GONG has built something, but the party is going so hard that we havent had time to reflect on what it is that we built. So we call it the Mausolleum of Maussolos, since we hear this is an uber-leet thing to build. No one knows what it quite does; storehouse? burial mound? landing pad for alien spaceships bent on galactic domination? Who knows?
General_W May 22, 2007, 02:20 PM :lol: very clever!
Good work and congrats! :beer:
CommandoBob May 22, 2007, 04:24 PM You built a Mausol!
[party] :dance: :band:
Uh,
:confused:
Did it come with directions or batteries?
Do you know how to use it?
Does it have a warranty?
donsig May 22, 2007, 04:34 PM Well, the Mausoleum sure worked for us on TNT last game. :rolleyes:
But seriously, congratrulations on this surprising feat!
greekguy May 22, 2007, 06:30 PM wow, you wasted all that time building the MoM? even knowing how that worked out for TNT last game? ;)
just kidding guys, congrats on the wonder build GONG. :)
Empiremaker May 23, 2007, 09:05 PM Nice job on getting the first wonder. Which fits nicely for our plans of world domination. :evil:
How did you make that nice of a picture? I don't even know the physics of it.
Sir Bugsy May 23, 2007, 10:31 PM How did you make that nice of a picture? I don't even know the physics of it.Daghie is very good sketching on papyrus.
To answer CB's questions:
We had to buy batteries. 6000 9V batteries. It is worse than Christmas, it only lasts 30 minutes on the batteries. we should have bought the rechargeables and power adapter.
Killer knows how to use it, but he won't tell any of the rest of it. He grabbed the instruction manual and hid it. Of course none of the rest of were going to admit that we needed the manual.
It comes with a 60 day warranty, but there are a lot of conditions with it. JB and I keep saying we got ripped off. The Prince tells us we got a good deal and shut about it.

The batteries are a cover. It's all beer based alien technology. Killer did hide the instructions and we sent the Stargate crew to find it. We later found them sloppy drunk. It's hopeless.

I thought the beer was the batteries - I was sure that the Aliens said if you put two different metals in the beer you get some currents. I was looking forward to them as I'm getting peckish with all this beer.
Whomp May 25, 2007, 09:41 AM The Babes put together a couple gifts for your great project.
I think Daghie and Bugs are in this picture. I'm not sure who the guy playing piano is.

killercane May 25, 2007, 10:08 AM Yo mod you need to moderate that pic! Im getting a red x and it wont open in Firefox either! I guess thats me playing the bongos. And we've got the honeys too!
Whomp May 25, 2007, 10:14 AM OK fixed. Could that be JB on the piano? I've heard he wears funny looking glasses.

Alright, I see the Mausol off to the left, it looks like a lion with a man's head. But what are those two big pointy things behind it? Madonna's bras?
Sir Bugsy May 25, 2007, 11:34 PM Marc Bolan - What a concept!
Tubby Rower May 26, 2007, 07:51 PM But what are those two big pointy things behind it? Madonna's bras?that's a biiig woman. let's call that area a "fun park" :lol:
killercane Sep 12, 2007, 01:14 PM Far from the fighting, and like monkeys typing out the works of Shakespeare, the Great Gong Ghetto citizens have put their heads together and kinda built something new to look at.

denyd Sep 12, 2007, 02:11 PM I thought for sure they built it to store all the dead ponies that Council helping is Babe to supply :evil:
General_W Sep 12, 2007, 02:23 PM :wow: nicely done! I really like those old Civ2 Wonder movies. Best of the Civ series, I think.
:hatsoff:

:hatsoff:
I agree, I miss those.
Paul#42 Sep 14, 2007, 02:12 AM In Civ 2 Leo's featured a unit upgrade for free? :wow:
I miss the whole game at times :cry:
:lol: Just joking, there where more things I don't miss too much.
Remember building a wonder with caravans? 20k would be quite easy... :mischief:

It only upgraded when you discovered a new tech, but it was still powerful until automobiles, or there about, when it expired And culture didn't even exist. But it was a good game. If it wasn't 3 probably wouldn't exist.
peter grimes Sep 14, 2007, 08:02 AM I had always preferred civ2 to civ3... I would spend hours tabulating the best trade routes. Loved driving those trucks :)
Paul#42 Sep 14, 2007, 08:37 AM Sure, I never doubted that Civ 2 was a great game.
Even Civ 1 was phantastic - back in 91 :)
I won't go back now. :nono:
Other than from CIV back to C3C - anytime! :D
RickFGS Sep 17, 2007, 02:06 AM Lets just hope Civ 5 is somewhat back to the origins and regains the fun, cunning and play interest that Civ 1, 2 and 3 have, Civ 4 is kinda like all those alpha centauri and call to power crap.

but wait, CIV also has the wonder movies...sort of. Actually I don't know what they were thinking when making them? Uninspired and lame. Since you mentioned SMAC, as for wonder movies, it had the coolest for sure
CommandoBob Sep 17, 2007, 12:40 PM [offtopic]
I thought the ability to actually terraform in SMAC was neat, but I never could get a grasp of the Tech Tree. It seemed to a redo of the Civ2 Tech Tree, but it had some strange and weird techs. :crazyeye: Maybe I just need to go back and play it again.
On the other hand, it was fun in Civ1 to railroad an ocean tile!

Well they have the chunnel now, don't they? :D
