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

the save is in post 13

 

[Pied Piper]

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

 

[romeothemonk]

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]

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

 

[MSTK]

What is the difficulty?

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

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

@MSTK - emperor

@romeo -

that all you've got?

 

[rrau]

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 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. At the time, really stupid, but now I am all about football and still working out for the "jock squad." (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? (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? Or would we be required to use them?

 

[ThERat]

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]

@ 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]

...you deleted the save?

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

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]

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.)

@ all - being an idiot

You have been warned.

 

[ThERat]

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]

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

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

@ 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]

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

 

[ThERat]

ok, I am in also

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

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
