Gah! Joe has been swamped by work lately, and begs mercy from all! This weekend will hopefully provide the respite I need!

Lurkerism: As you can all see, work and sex don't mix well with NESing.

I heartily disagree! Just don't ignore the girl whilst you check out an all important update.

(Yes Abaddon, I'm looking at you, you know why!)

Anyway: As always I am willing to serve in the capacity of an Advisor; if you want you can PM me, or just lay your claim to me in this thread :).

Surely there are a lot of players that need and advisors more than me, but if no one express a claim, I will ask to Kal'thzar to became my advisor.

aka; I think hes trying to say if no-one else really wants me he'll take me. Which is saddening really as I think of myself as quite a catch :D

edit: I'll wait for other claims for 24 hours, but then I'm all yours Flavius

Well, we've discovered the point at which the players will grumble for an update :ack:

I think I'm with everyone else in that I'm not so bothered by lack of update (as you are certainly working hard to make it extravagant and wonderful), but the lack of an ETA, which would be nice.

Abaddon

VERY sorry everyone. I have been shockingly busy with my new girlfriend, and thus have not had time to help Josef..

Next few days is the ETA.

I understand why you were busy. But I also say that I'm luckier than you.

And thanks for the ETA

Thanks, Abbadon :)

Now, we just need some info from Josef.

I am here, who needs help? Or perhaps the better question is who needs help updating? :p

Lurkerism: If you want to have a feel of a consistent and relatively simple and realistic-enough NES, join A Brave New World (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=268809)! But then, grumbling about a lack of updates is part of the whole experience dot dot dot.

Lurkerism: It is never too late for this NES, but the moderating duo need to be more focused on their commitment. :)

Abaddon

Welcome Psychic_Llamas, you can of course join.

We are experiencing some slight delays ;) caused by REAL LIFE and other nonsense. We hope to resume normal experience shortly.

(ALL WORRIED ABOUT THIS NES~ PM JOESEF)

Any definite estimate for an update?:deadhorse:

flyingchicken
May 09, 2008, 06:04 PM
Moar: "REAL LIFE" is a given. But this is a time commitment to other people (as a mod and as a player, but mostly as a mod).

(Governatorify voice) Update. Nao!

Sorry for my non-comittment of order: pass deadline, no want dead, no want spam box of joe. ;) I'll just quit this for now. (for ever?)

Flyingchicken, what have you done? In your greed for an update you have doomed us all (I mean, what will happen if the new players pick it up?)!

Abaddon and JosefStalinator have brought this upon themselves (see the rest of thread). I'm only following through with what heresies they teach. :p

Abaddon

Seriously Joesf.. If you cannot grab this, I will write the update on monday/tueday if you forward me the orders.. :(

JosefStalinator
May 10, 2008, 06:46 PM
I was hoping on getting through it tonight actually, but if I can't abaddy, I'll forward to you.

I submit myself to punishment by seppuku for what I've done to this NES!

Fetus4188

No, no seppuku, we want an update, your honor be damned!

germanicus12
May 11, 2008, 06:29 PM

And I shall accept, what nation do you play as and where is it?

Granted I could find out by looking at the first page, but I figured this would be a better way to find the truth behind these decieving lies that the Mod sometimes post by not updating the list....

Stuck in Pi
May 11, 2008, 06:39 PM
I play as Russia (listed as Kiev), located at Moscow.

flyingchicken
May 11, 2008, 06:52 PM
Lurkerism: "Russia" is an anachronistic concept. The Rus are, as far as I can tell, barely numerous and the various small groups of people (including the non-state nomads) around that area have yet to develop enough to create such a thing. Have yourself conquered by someone more advanced than you, breed your ethnicity under their rule, and rebel--that way, you get the political and possibly physical infrastructure to establish "Russia."

das
May 12, 2008, 04:46 AM
"Kiev" in Moscow is really no better, though I can come up with a plausible etymology.

On a sidenote, did anyone else here know that in the late Middle Ages, the area of modern Muscovy was called Ukraina Zalesskaya, which may be translated as "the Transylvanian Ukraine" (okay, actually "the Transylvanian Frontier", which is pretty awesome too because of the mental image it creates)? Funny coincidence, IMHO.

This is DEAD unless Joe posts. Please, noone bump this. :(

Abaddon

Rightly.

SCREW you Joe.. its time for another AbNES, and all the peeps in this thread are cordially invited.

So yeah, i'm just bumping this incase anyone out there randomly had it on subscribe ;)

Everyone can also expect me to poke their message box...:evil:

I will be looking after, and hopefully introducing people to NESing via the medium of my next AbNES.
