Hi, I'm the new guy "Butterball". Permission to come aboard.
BB
 
[party] :beer: Hi Butterball! Welcome aboard. You've got a lot of reading to catch up on ;) .

Basically to sum up (I'm sure Whomper has let you in on what's going on), we're expanding like mad with a 4 -turn settler pump. Building military in Dunderhead, Workers in Ignoramus, & will probably pull all three out of Jesterton.

MIA (Greece) is to our south we can safely assume. They sent someone that should be in our country in order to deal with us ;) .

Other than that, it's all fluff.

Anyhoo, welcome aboard. Give wild speculative advice and sound confident and people will think that you know what you are talking about :lol:

For most of the time Dagh himself doesn't know what he's ranting about, but he keeps going anyway. Tubby otoh knows every penny spent and every tile worked, every beakers dumped and on top of that how to calculate the distance between Dublin and Illinois with a chewing gum.

Glad to have you here Bball :beer:
 
Oh ... man! I've read thru a few of the threads & I have to admit that I'm a puppy. You throw around acronyms like a first language. I've checked the CIV Acronyms list and still can't find all the ones that I've seen you use. What are:

GPS -
PM -
NIC -
SoZ -
CB -
IW -
I'm sure that there are many more

I know I'm showing my ignorance ... but I gotta learn somehow.

Thanks
BB
 
GPS - don't know... :confused:
PM - Personal Message. At the top right of your screen.
NIC - again, don't know
SoZ - Statue of Zeus
CB - Ceremonial Burial
IW - Iron Working

but I gotta learn somehow.
True! Just ask if there's anything else that's confusing. As you can see, I also don't all the acronyms.

And Welcome to CFC! [party] :band:
 
Hello Butterball. I'm Whomp or Whomper or Panda Boy or whatever you want call me....uh ok dad?

Welcome to our chaos we call home aka Simpleton. You will gain much knowledge from this band of idiots, Grandma's, blind mice, Grumpy old men and if you listen maybe your son too. :D

Just so the team's aware this man is unstoppable in Monopoly. He would make deals with my sister like "I'll give you Atlantic and Baltic for Park Place and Illinois (both to complete monopolies for him) and three free rides" on his properties. His rule was no one else could say anything when there were negotiations going on. No wonder I could never win.

Here's a link that may help you with all the jargon. I just learned wOOt recently and it means good things I understand so feel free to use it. I would also focus on the threads that are "stickied" (the one's with tacks on them). Got it?

FYI BA's Massive Whompus rule! :rockon: :hammer:
 
GPS is a multiplayer (MP) term referring to Got it, Played it, Sent it, where it is the save. Welcome to CFC, I hope you enjoy your energetic team. ;) I run the game along with RegentMan and RikMeleet over our shoulder, don't hesitate to ask questions!
 
Welcome to the team, Butterball!!! You must be Whomp's father, huh? That makes you doubly welcome. Whomp is a very special guy! :)

I'm the grandma here, though I'm probably not like the proverbial "sweet little old lady" you might imagine, but I am little and old. :p
 
I'm not a granpa because Whomp hasen't got started yet ... that I know of. I guess I'm a big old grumpy man!
BB
 
I now figured out that I don't know how the Quote works? What else is new?
BB
 
For quoting, click "Quote" at the bottom of a post, or if you are quoting things from multiple posts, copy/paste the text into a message, highlight it, then click on the quote button (the text bubble in the same line as Bold, Italics, and Underline).

EDIT: Oh, for your last post, you just need to close the tag. Put [/QUOTE] at the end.

Welcome aboard BB! :salute: Bede and I are happy to have another grumpy old guy around.
 
Welcome aboard Butterball. Whomp is 'da man. I can only assume that you, like my father takes most of the credit for that. Somehow my mom gets blamed for everything else...
 
Welcome Papa Whomper...

I'm kinda the wandering artist/smart arse around here... Once you get to 30 post and 30 days we'll set you up with a proper avatar :D

You have MSN Chat? How about KoC? You talked him into becoming an orc yet Whomp?
 
OK Mistfit....knowing a thing or two...
Whomper suggests a raven and/or navy :salute:related avatar for Butterball. He may have other ideas. Just my .02.

You're Q's: MSN Chat? No Koc? ??? What's an orc?

Hi BB,

although it;s outside of civ, but here we go:

GPS - Ground Positioning Sattelite, you know a device that shows your exact location on the surface of our planet ( I guess you new that, but I couldn't stop myslef :p )

NIC - thats an economic term ( Newly Industrialised Countries ) which refers to the countries that are being invaded by the multinational corporations. Those include mainly the post sovietic coutries in europe like Poland.

Well, I havent been here for a while! I also have a lot to catch up.


once again welcome BB,

Tomasz
