This has been on my "to-try-list" for a while. I'll be lurking with interest.

@Cosmichail: In like Flynn refers to the 1930s American actor Errol Flynn, one of the first action heroes of Hollywood. I'm not sure--being too young myself--if this is a sexual reference, though I doubt it given the era of its origin. It probably means something like "Errol Flynn was so cool, he was always part of the in-crowd."

Wrong! See, I strike already. Errol Flynn is not American. He is from Tasmania, Australia!

Is it that? i thought it was "In like Flint," like the that porn movie from the 70s of the same title ~

I'll cast my vote for Mao, simply because I haven't played as China much... and I've heard Cho-Ko-Nu's are all cool and stuff...

 

[ChrTh]

In like Flint is derived from In Like Flynn, which may or may not to do with Errol ... linkage

I know him "Robinhood" great actor, maybe it's just a cultural but we say "In like Flint" but that's the hippie generation or probably geographical.

Thanks Rex are you going to cave in????

EDIT: Wow I didn't mean to get everybody going.....Ruff Hi didn't know he was from land of Aussie...
ChrTh I will check your link out.......

 

[GreyFox]

I vote for the dude with creative trait if we are going cultural ... let see, +2cpt will takes us 2500 turns to reach legendary, just about right

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Wow, never even figured it'd be about a different Flynn. Thanks for the link, ChrTh. Oh, and I'm really not going to cave, guys. I absolutely can't play another SG right now without missing out on some important responsibilities.

Love to. Can't.

 

[ChrTh]

ruff_hi, do you want to take rex's place since he's a coward and (I suspect) a Communist?

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

You can't call me a communist!

Call me a slob, a fool, an idiot, a pill, a tool, one for the dumb bus, a misanthrop, a nincompoop, a ninny, a sissy, a twirp, a jackass, a communist, a scruffy looking nerf herder, a left-foot-in-the-right-shoe sort of fellow, tweedle dumber, a total loser, a weenie, a dweeb, a wedgie waiting to happen, a yellow snowball fight target, a sloth, a pervert, a rather rude bloke, a communist, a throws-like-a-girl olympian, an imbicile, a simpleton, a nape, a maroon, an ultramaroon, or a communist.

But you can NOT call me a communist!

 

[ruff_hi]

yes - anything to kick a pinko commie @#%@#$ out of the running. And lets play as the Chinese.

Wish I could have been in this very interesting variant . Lurking mode on
I will advise against building the national epic too early to avoid artists

Ok, this was deliberate, right? If so ... if not,

 

[ruff_hi]

I guess it is as I added the 'lets play as chinese' comment a few minutes after posting the first part.

 

[JesusOnEez]

Nobody likes Lizzy? But she's so...so......female!

Grrrrr...

 

[Scowler]

Don't worry, JOE, I'll second your plea for the Virgin Queen. Us Brits have got to stick together!

Lizzy seems like it'd be too easy.

Too easy? Hubris before Nemesis...

 

[Methos]

Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the time for this one right now. Just started back in college and still getting used to it, plus working 40+ hours. Sorry, though I like ChrTh's games and this one sounds interesting.

Good luck you all.

 

[JesusOnEez]

Is this game happening?
