Department of General Musings

[gmaharriet]

Maybe some of them are just lurking to learn (basically what I'm doing, except I blather on anyway in idiot fashion), but not ready to participate. I think RegentMan or GingerAle would prevent them from having access to additional private forums, since you DO have to apply through them. OTOH, it would be interesting to know who's active and who's not.

 

[Kickbooti]

In defense of non-posters, I confess I have joined a game or two in the past and then lost interest or was burried under the real world I seem incapable of controling (as opposed to the Civ world where I am the master of all I survey, or I restart, either one).

I noticed on the General team posting thread that some people were catagorized as 'lurkers.' Maybe we could ask the admins to label non-posters in this manner to get the flavor of the active memebership.

And since this is the dept. of General musings I must say; on any other team I am convinced that I would be considered a wise-cracker par excelence, but here at Team K.I.S.S. I'm drowning in sweat just to keep up with the banter.

Way to go team

I salute you

Good idea if the admins are willing!

That you are! But it is highly praiseworthy among the rest of us idiots. Don't stop!!!

 

[Sir Bugsy]

well, maybe they are all in awe of our brilliant chaos.
so in awe they are kept speechless by our wisdom of the ages?
or just plain in shock of how a nation is run by Idiots, and its ramifications in real life?
i just love this...

While we may be an anarchy, I wouldn't put us in the "idiot" category. We have some great minds on this team. I continue to be impressed how everyone is stepping up and contributing in areas they are very good at. Just wait until we get to the more difficult portions like war. I can't wait to see someone like Barbslinger rip into some of these teams.

 

[Whomp]

I have been informed there are ways to catch cheaters so no worries. I'm just a freak. Sorry. Carry on....

 

[Pentium]

Is it allowed to use animated smilies in sigs? I remember someone had the dancing banana...

 

[soul_warrior]

its allowed as long as its less than 5 lines. whatever you put inside is ok, as long as its within the forum rules (no nudi pics, etc.)

 

[gmaharriet]

I see Provo just sent the latest turn to MIA and he was 5 minutes over the 24 hours. Anybody want to register a protest?

 

[soul_warrior]

STOP THE PRESS!!!!
EXTRA!!!
EXTRA!!!!

its an edited version (meaning i pasted all 4 together)

 

[soul_warrior]

and i true idiot fashion, i mixed up pages one and two

 

[Pentium]

Like any of us knows so big numbers ...

 

[Sir Bugsy]

The eighth step is fine. We should agree to it.

 

[Whomp]

The only question is on #5. I have pm'd Fe with that question before any document is sent.
I had to have Mistfit help me put the seal on it so that's why it was in the inbox.

where would we be without Mist?
@ bugs - looking forward to turning 'slinger (and yourself) loose for war

 

[soul_warrior]

BTW, why is thier seal bigger than ours?
and whats this about "mark" of kiss?
do they think we cant read?
i hope they dont....

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

calm down, as previously stated, we know how to "mark' our territory

 

[Mistfit]

where would we be without Mist?

Same place you are with me.... just not nearly as pretty

 

[Kickbooti]

I just found out my wife pre-ordered Civ IV for me!


She either loves me or is sick of the sight of me.

Either way, I love that woman.

 

[gmaharriet]

Now that is a very thoughtful thing for her to do! You have a rare spouse. Mine just rolls his eyes whenever I mention what I'm doing, but at least he doesn't complain. You're very lucky.

 

[gmaharriet]

Asking a favor here. My computer has been intermittantly making some odd growling noises and I'm getting random strange error messages. If I should disappear from either this forum or from Bede's TGOMTG for 24 hours or more, could one of you send me an email at gmaharriet@hotmail.com? Pretty please with sugar on top.

I can access Hotmail from my office computer, but I can't access this board at all from my office, nor can I access MSN Messenger there. It's occurred to me that I'd have no way to get in touch with anyone here if my computer died, and I'd hate to have anyone think I'd just purposely stayed away. And I don't have the email address for any of you except on this forum or on MSN Messenger. Darned office IT security says this is an illegal site.

Might not be a bad idea for each of us to post some alternate way of contacting each other if you don't already have some type of arrangement for that. Thanks in advance.
