Siddhartha of India: The Civ 4 Buddhist challenge

is the word SPAM in your username

 

[Moai_Spammer]

wait did you say you will never spam as much as i do or you will spam as much i do?

 

[Manco Capac]

Yes, I did say that. There's some Succession Game on some mod I won't disclose for being unholy to those DoC lovers...anyways, where I spammed posts (with my partner Lymond) faster than any of Tales. In few weeks (2 weeks IIRC) we spammed like 500 posts altogether. And if I hadn't lost my partner, we would have reached 1000 posts. And not all posts were like one sentence.

 

[Manco Capac]

BTW, what difficulty do you play? I don't think I have seen it.

And Tachywaxon's Tip: Never take any Sid's Tip as a truth. It is well known to be bull$hit. And blue circles are one type of these tips.

 

[Manco Capac]

Also, since my posts are often mid-long to long, then each of them counts for two spam posts, ha!

 

[Moai_Spammer]

lotsa post ok

i normally play on prince, because its a good middle ground, i can beat monarch though, and for this story its noble for narrative reasons

Also, since my posts are often mid-long to long, then each of them counts for two spam posts, ha!

you are dubbed the king of spam, i guess i'll stick with spamming moai

Hey, I spammed Moai in CiV before I realized how awesome RFC and DoC were.

 

[Manco Capac]

I hope for ya you get more talking lurkers (I usually dub lurkers as bots lol), but don't expect grandiose number of them affirming their presence. You hit the worst period of Stories&Tales. And probably the last era, that is the death era. Most commenters stick with stories that started two or three years ago (and most probably with the Subscribed Thread function) and don't bother with new stories.

Babylon DoC isn't awesome. It's a torture. I have tried two new shots to refine my strategy and each time the crazy randomness of this mod made me lose. Gawd, never thought that prince diff would be that hard when I have won deity game in the past.
And I think putting DoC as the ultimate mod is pretty overrated and underestimating the worth of other mods. There are other modders who sweat to make great creations but get barely attention because people are stuck with conventional thinking that RFC or RFC: DoC or any duplicate are the best and nothing better can be found.

Oh hey, did my past strategy about Babylon was correct? You didn't comment it.

yeah i created my cfc account after my first polynesia game ever, in which ever coastal tile, even extra luxury resource ones, were covered in moai...

 

[Moai_Spammer]

and i couldnt think of anything else

I don't think it is the ultimate mod, I just think it (and RFC stuff in general) is my favorite mod. I just like the combination of the amazing Civ4 mechanics with a history simulator and the ability to screw up history.

Oh, and the strategy worked. Sometime tonight, if I can boot my older brother off of the computer with Internet, I will repost the Babylon thread. I got a crazy event that halved the research time for Metal Casting (beelining for Machinery), and I got 18+ extra turns. At the end of the game, I was 5th in score with one city! I just wish more people would read my story like they read my first one.

 

[mrrandomplayer]

Oh, that and I didn't even need goody hut with writing.. Considering my DnD luck (natural 1, anyone?) as well as my luck in general, the ONLY things I got were barbies, maps, and occasionally gold.

 

[trexeric]

Oh, I'm subbing!

 

[Moai_Spammer]

NOTICE! i will begin working on the next update after i wake up tomorrow

 

[Moai_Spammer]

or MAYBE late tonight, but expect 2morrow

 

[mrrandomplayer]

Where have you been, Trexeric? I though you had disappeared from these forums like everyone else has!

 

[Manco Capac]

His Kinder has broken and thus forgot desktop ever existed. He just remembered.

to king siddhartha, life seemed rather dull, he kept updating his CFC story repeatedly and was just looking at his glorious empire

[...DELURK]
Hes such a NOOB at this Buddhism stuff, I mean seriously!

as siddhartha sat at his father's tomb, he wept, and he sat there weeping for 10 days and 10 nights, when he stopped weeping, i found that he was thirsty, but not only thirsty for water, but for knowledge, "If my namesake Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, achieved enlightenment, then so can I!" he swore to himself, and from that day forth, he seeked inner peace, not just for himself, but to please his wild thoughts and make his father proud, siddhartha thought to himself "It's time to make my destiny!"

King dude, the first thing you must learn about enlightenment is, you'll never find it while you're looking for it!

it had been 3 days since he had finished his weeping, and he was out on a walk, when he saw a hill, a very large hill, and he climbed it. on the hill, he saw the tallest tree he had ever seen. From the tree he gazed at his glorious capital. He thought to himself "Time to embrace my destiny!" and he jumped of the tree...fell past the hill...and landed on the soft point of the shwedagon paya, how he lived, he did not know, but he thought his father was guiding him, where ever his reincarnation may be...

A mystical experience...that's progress!

Siddhartha said unless the buddha took a s**t on the spot he would sit there, becuase frankly even buddhas have stinky poo poo
so they let him sit there

Oh yeah real enlightened! How old is he, like, twelve?

[/...DELURK]

[I can't believe there's actually a tag for delurking! ]

ETA I haven't heard of anyone trying to work the Bhagavad Gita into Buddhism before, but Krishna's a kinda Zen dude, so I think you might be on to something.

 

[Moai_Spammer]

neither can i believe theres a delurking tag, and here is a back story of King Siddhartha Asokasson for you fans

Spoiler :

King Siddhartha Asokasson is the son of... well asoka! He is a very strange man, never really being able to grow up because when he took that throne at 13, he was traumatized from his fathers death, he trys to become enlightened but is currently quite failing at it (he would be considered enlightened if i beat the game, if not he fails miserably and the universe implodes!)he will one day forget his promise and side with the, war hungry monk dynasty that will exist from 900 ad to 1400 ad, from then on he will try all he can to get his goal.

and thats king siddhartha
