This was first start I rolled. Seed is 99. Will reroll if too easy. :crazyeye:

Pied Piper · Dec 21, 2004

I would be happy to play in your game since no one wants to play in mine. :sad:

romeothemonk · Dec 21, 2004

I may be interested. Not a total sign-up but please tenatively keep me availible. I should know by Jan 6. If you can't wait that long, I will have to pass.
Does a double bachelor's of physics and Chemical engineering with a M.S. ChE in the works sound nerdy enough?? (The Thesis time required is one of the main reasons for waiting till the new semester to commit.)

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 21, 2004

@ romeo & piper - let me know after new years if this is a go. Happy Holidays!

MSTK · Dec 21, 2004

What is the difficulty?

And I think I should want to join if I'm not too busy.

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 21, 2004

@MSTK - emperor

@romeo -

that all you've got? :lol:

rrau · Dec 21, 2004

Maybe a sign up.

Do you have a link to the rules so I can read them? I have a bachelors in chemistry and a graduate degree, but I don't think we need them in this game as we're supposed to be the "brainless jocks/jockettes" that never learn anything.

I also qualify for this brainless jock rule as I was stupid enough to walk on our college football team as a grad student. :blush:

At the time, really stupid, but now I am all about football and still working out for the "jock squad." :mischief:

(We have a game every year where the varsity plays against anyone that has ever played for the team that comes back for the game. I will be one of the "old" guys playing, nothing helps your self-esteem like getting pancaked by a 320+ pounder.)
But how good is a football team at an engineering only school? :cry:

(that was a clue)
Now you just have to get Grahamiam, as I know that he is also an engineer.
Would we be allowed to use civil engineers? :confused:

Or would we be required to use them? :lol:

ThERat · Dec 21, 2004

hey hey what's this all about engineers here? I can also offer a M.S. in ChemEng, if that's what you people need for an idiot game...maybe we should all start the eng/scientists idiot series...

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 21, 2004

@ all - being an idiot, I think I've deleted the original save i posted, but I'd still like to play this on a standard size with the opponents listed in the original post. Open to suggestions as to who we should be. Only restrictions I'm really committed to are no research, emperor. Thoughts?

MSTK · Dec 22, 2004

...you deleted the save? :wow:

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 22, 2004

you deleted the save

I did. But if you read post 1 carefully, i noted the seed and thus should be able to get it back. I'll regenerate it, post a save and then we can get some definites on who's playing.

viper275 · Dec 23, 2004

lurker's comment: Here's the save (just generated the map with same settings and seed.) Not a sign-up, too busy, although I'll definitely lurk (I might if there's no other sign-ups and if RL gets easier and SGs finish after the holidays.)

You have been warned.

ThERat · Dec 23, 2004

if you need people, I wouldn't mind joining, especially since I do not have the luxury of holidays in between xmas and NY

Zavior · Dec 23, 2004

I would like to join, but I'm only a regent - monarch player.

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 23, 2004

@ viper - thanks for the regeneration

@ all - I have a whole lotta maybes here. Please review the save and let me know who's in by 12/30. we'll start 1/1/05

I'm in.....

MSTK · Dec 23, 2004

I don't understand viper's warning. AK was calling himself an idiot, not "all".

ThERat · Dec 23, 2004

ok, I am in also

Admiral Kutzov · Dec 23, 2004

FYI, so all understand the idiot references: One is not a complete idiot until all the required parts are found and installed. This means I consider myself an almost complete idiot and my quest is to find the parts/knowledge to make myself complete. This also means my team needs to excuse me when I do strange things for no apparent reason. PM Bede for clarification.

@ Bede - let me know if I need to edit this post
