Fox-05: The RNGod Strikes Back

[ChrTh]

Trust me, winning 5 of 10 games is pretty much unprecedented. The RNGod was with me

Oh, and Ozbenno: I tried to find a game that I could use for the Tribal Objective, but I was unable to. Hoyle only goes so far ...

PS: Anyone remember the inspiration for this write-up?

Yes, your dice roll in the first was backgammon from same, right? Anyhow...will play this morning some time. Wonder if I rollercoaster tycoon would show any insight?

PS: more pics of Chloe, please.

I have Chloe set as my 'main opponent' ... I had to actually plug in Roswell in the Chess screen so it wouldn't show her. My wife was a little concerned about Chloe when I got the game ... and with reason!

@ ChrTh: BEST. REPORT. EVER.

Let me get this right, you are playing against a guy that wears a cycling helmet inside, an extinct dinosaur, an alien and a girl

too funny!!!

chaos SG or RNG?? or Super-RNG ~ so random, sometimes the Lord commands you to play a different game??

Seems to me that during a hiatus in the Uber-famous RB1 - Cuban Isolantionists a similar set of screen shots were posted by Sirian as he awaited the return of his partner (and for the game to get moving again).

Game played. RNGod spanked us, though. Report tonight

Bingo. Someone made the comment that the Chinese Checkers screen looked like a Modded Diplomacy Screen and I've kept that in the back of my head ever since.

To open, I rolled my personal objective. 6 = gain 1d6 * 100 gold OR 1d6 x 3 XP. My quantity roll was a 1 and, since were at war, I went with the XP. Raise one unit by 3 XP. No problem. And, speaking of war...

Hmmm...that simply won't do. I spent my set building primarily swords and cats. Why?

That's why. Holy smoking crap, Batman! Anyhow, in the beginning, it was defense.

I killed an invading Keshik. Unfortunately, that would turn out to be my only victory for quite some time. Maybe RNGod doesn't love his little Rexy after all.

See what I mean? While camped outside...er...that one city to the south :weed:...Khan went offensive with his longbows and axemen and took out our entire southern army. Well, all but one Axe anyway. Anyhow, to show that I'm at least *trying* for our team objective, I stuck a settler underneath a sign some courteous fellow left me.

One down, three to go. Then, while staking out the Mongol Capital, Khan gifted us our second.

Pennies from heaven? Thank RNGod!

Anyhow, that was my set in a nutshell. BTW, here was my personal objective.

 

[GreyFox]

I would need the save,
So don't hide it in a cave.
Hmm ... wait a fu(kin minute ...
This is RNGod and not RotQM,
Why speaking like an idiot I am?

lurker's comment: Does Tabriz count towards the tribal objective? I thought the goal was to actually acquire 4 cities?

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Capture or found (1d6) more cities

My screenie above clearly says: "You have captured Tabriz!!!" so phfffbbbttt!

I thought Fox meant the xp in the F5 screen. Anyhow, you're sure to have met it via that as well with all those things you did.

Oh. Whoops. Sorry, Fox, I'm really not very good at listening. Anyhow, now that I've played and posted, according to your post, Fox, we can both resume normal sigs and avatars (though you never made your Avatar Luke, you naughty little Asian). RNGod releases us.

 

[Ozbenno]

It seems odd to actually have some game related stuff happening, I not sure how to react?!?!

 

[GreyFox]

To raze you need to capture ... that has always been the understanding.

Hmm ... longbows is appearing? We would need peace soon, me thinks. And you changed your avatar and I change my sig ... didn't knew it was required for me to change my avatar as well. Anyhow, I quite like my "Data waves a fluorescent tube" expression, so if its alright with you, the sig would stay (plus ofcourse the main reason of me being lazy to change ...)

Now, the random question of the day: who's UP next?

You forgot to list ChrTh's personal objective as being met

 

[GreyFox]

Ah, right, my mistake! Thousand apologies! -- which reminds me of an old joke:

Spoiler old-joke :

A man with a particularly short you-know-what body part was not very happy with it, so he went to see a voodoo priest to do something about it. The voodoo priest gave him a lotion to be applied on that unspeakable part, and told that unfortunate dude that "with this lotion, each time someone says sorry to you, it will grow by half an inch".

Skeptical, the man thought no harm trying. So he applied the lotion, went walking on street, and pretended to be tripped by a passerby who promptly apologized: "Sorry!"

The man quickly rushed to the toilet and checked inside his pants. To his amazement, it indeed worked. Encouraged, he tried the same trick again on a young lady.

And my clever readers should by now have guessed what the apologetic lass said to the poor man ...

I guess that's how Rex became the man from Nantucket ...

Anyway, list corrected:
