Milking... the conversation

[Pentium]

Nice car, zerksees. You should install a laptop inside .

I didn't say anything.

Why not? You could at least asked him for his username.

I'm quite interested in maths (I'm a national champion, after all), though not old enough to have a degree. I believe it has something to do with doing the same thing for the whole day and even more. I don't have a milking game, but one will probably come soon.

 

[Darkness]

Great car Zerksees!
I can certainly see why you're over your Civ3 addiction... (for a while anyway )

 

[zerksees]

Pentium and Darkness,

Thanks. It needs a lot of TLC so that is where my time will be going. Many systems off line and parts missing, but I drove it home (in the pic it is still on the estate where I bought it). Whenever I get around to posting details about it on a Corvette forum, I'll put up a link here.

At one point I saw his computer screen and he had a windows open to guess what?
Civ fanatics forums...
I smiled but he didn't notice, and I didn't say anything.

I did think for a moment 'is this me?' but your reference to 'fall' leads me to believe that you are based in a different part of the world! I agree with Pentium, I'd ask the person what their username is as the curiosity would be killing me!

I think I am temporarily cured of Civ. I bought this on June 11 at an estate sale. I have played civ for about two hours since, and it was quite an effort. (Prior I was playing 2 hours a night or more.)

I'll probably finish my current HOF attempt and that will be it for a while.

I'm in the same boat except that my Corvette was just built on 18 May and I picked it up at the National Corevette Museum on 9 June. I came home with the Bowling Green Corvette Club who are on a 2 week trip to California. 12 to 14 Corvettes going dowm I-40 to California drew a lot of attention. They don't get home until 25 June so they are still on the road.

Based on the VIN, mine was most likely made on the second work day of January, 1975. Mine is going to require a lot of TLC to be reliably roadworthy, but I got a great deal and mechanics are my hobby. The night I brought it home I had to stop to get gas (less than 5 minutes from where I picked it up), and some kid at the gas station says "hey - nice car!". This surprised me. A single Corvette draws attention - I can imagine what a dozen would draw.

The NCM has the build sheets for all the cars built in Bowling Green but they didn't start building there until 1981. You should go down there and visit, a lot of Corvette clubs go there as a group and on 10 June I was leaving Mammoth Cave National Park when I passed about 12 of them entering. That was a lot of happy waving. It brought back memories of my very first car (a 1962 Corvette) when you waved at every Corvette you saw because back in the 1960s there weren't that many Corvettes on the road.

Maybe there is a coralation between the people who like math and their ability to endure Milking a game. I have never enjoyed math and I have no stomach for Milking...MS, SS and LT all into the math thing Super milkers, coincidence???

Nevah. Maths was easily my favourite subject at school, and my best efforts on the HOF were fastest finish - I haven't even considered milking, don't have the patience...

 

[Pentium]

Well, playing Civ at all requires a lot of patience. Fast Dom/Conq also need lots of planning, focusing on details and MM-ing.

Here's a piece of math that depresses me: I turned 30 today.

It's only depressing if you think about it. Play Civ and forget. Maybe you can mod a game where all you opponents are Mongols.

 

[Mistfit]

Happy birthday Slug! Have a on us...really just bill us for it.

Congrats to the OLD GUY!

Take comfort from the fact that there are quite a few of us that are significantly older than you and we're all wishing that we had just turned 30!

Happy Birthday, 'slug!

 

[bluejay]

I have children older than 30!

Cheer up, life gets better.

 

[LulThyme]

It's rather late, but many happy returns anyway, and the same for LulThyme.

[Ozymandius]

At 62, what's more to worry about than children and grandchildren?..

Since I'm retired I just have a lot more quality time to milk a game...I even have a better perspective of what is important or not..
