    What's your heaven?

    A fine answer. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence... I already implied that it's reasonable to think it *very, very likely* there is no God (or afterlife), when I said I'm 85-95 % atheist, myself. But to make that 100 % is intellectually dishonest, since you have no way of knowing...

    What's your heaven?

    I'm not sure that's what Darkflight meant. The op specifies that Heaven exists if you want it to, for the purpose of the hypothetical. Why would you then want to cease existing, if you had the choice not to (and indeed, could choose any kind of existence you can imagine)? I'd still like to hear...

    What's your heaven?

    For my money I'd like to become a ghost after I die. I'd remain in this world, with my senses unchanged or perhaps even enhanced, but with the characteristics that are traditionally attributed to ghostly entities (in the West at least). Pros: -immortality (since I'm already dead ;)) -won't need...

    Humans Need Not Apply

    To come out of self-imposed lurkerhood for a brief while: isn't this what some bearded dude from the 19th century wrote a lengthy tome about (rather ahead of his time)? ;) Resident reds, where are you when you're needed? :mischief: Even some hard-core capitalists agree that communism would work...

    [TOT] The Test Of Time Patch Project

    I will retire from Cfc for ~6 months. Personal reasons. I might return in the Spring with a finished map (Europe, or a new world map). If not, then it ain't finished. :p In the meantime TheNamelessOne, I think you should work with Yagoda to make his world map the best it can be. It's a...

    Building a multiplayer group on Hamachi

    Just posting here so you might see that (I think) I got the problem sorted out now. If you catch this msg, then we could try again tonight (just to see if it works, not to actually play at this hour). If it works then I'm free to play for most of tomorrow. :)

    Building a multiplayer group on Hamachi

    Just writing here to officially declare me joining the group. Btw Yagoda, we could play later today if you have the time for it. I'll get on Skype/Hamachi in a few hours (~20:00 French time), see if you're online to play (or try the connection at least). If today is not possible, then tomorrow...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    I thought of this, but Yagoda might not appreciate me tinkering with his map, even if I put his name first in the credits. Even if he did allow it, it's somewhat of a vanity issue: I'd rather build the ship *and* paint it rather than just paint it, if you know what I mean. :p But if there are no...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    Finally the work is finished and I can play. I installed Hamachi and tried joining your network, 'civ2/multi1', as stated in another thread. It says that I need to wait for the administrator's approval... I guess Hamachi will notify me if/when you get online? I'll wait for a few hours, but if...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    I live in Finland (gmt+2). Not sure when you posted (what time does the forum display?), but I was just informed that the heavy work day is tomorrow, not today. So I can play today in a few hours (three at most). I could play today until midnight or so, if we get the game working. Tomorrow it...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    Regardless of the name of the place, it could do with some snazzying up. :D Although with the threat of foreign invasion being non-existent in the early game, perhaps the barrenness is needed to balance them with Europe... I may have jumped to conclusions. --Btw, do you usually keep the...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    Ah. You mean you edit the map before we start, to give one extra Settler to Russia? Or is it done after we start the game via the Cheat menu something? I've never played Civ II multiplayer so I'm totally in the dark here. Imo an extra Settler might swing the other way and be too drastic of a...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    My oh my -- the wilderness on your map sure is wild! :eek: Now that I've studied the map with a view on potential settling sites, with the rules changes in mind (15 turns to clear most inhospitable terrains), I begin to see what you meant about playing mostly in Europe and Asia. Tbh I'm a little...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    Could you post that Europe map you know? Just so I won't start to make a new map and then find out that someone's already done a better job. :p How many cities do you usually have in your games, per player? Is the game usually decided by warring, or by space victory? The placing of the...

    Regarding Gigaworld Maps Redux

    Have you heard about a game called Freeciv? Iirc, it's a bit like Civ II in its rules, but it's specifically designed for multi-player. Might be that there's more players for it than standard Civ II. I didn't like the graphics though, when I looked at it some years ago. Maybe they've changed...
