While We Wait: Part 3

[sp1023]

Thank you, and yes, I agree. sp1023 has been really spamming some recent pages. I really appreciate that OOC stuff is here.

Maybe you should start a metal punk NES.

*sigh* I direct you to the term Gaslamp Fantasy, coined by the esteemed Professors Foglio of Transylvania Polygnostic University:

"I called it Gaslamp Fantasy because, around the time we were bringing Girl Genius out, there was a comic called Steampunk on the shelves and I didn't want any confusion. Plus, I've never liked the term Steampunk much for our work, it's derived from Cyberpunk (a term which I think actually fits its genre well) but we have no punk, and we have more than just steam, and using a different name seemed appropriate. I mis-remembered a term that I had come across in the foreword to an H. Rider Haggard book, where the author was talking about Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Rider Haggard and that sort of pre-pulp adventure material, and came up with "Gaslamp Fantasy." I felt a bit foolish when I discovered that I had made up my own term, but it works and I like it."

> Just wanted to say thanks for the advice about getting civ4:BTS or civ4:complete. I've decided to go for BTS and skip warlords. I can't imagine myself spending much time on scenarios anyway. The space thing with BTS does look interesting tho!

About planning ahead. I plan ahead about ten years but it always changes.

In planning, Sicily is severely planned ... I have a listing of random events that will happen eventually, and players will have to choose sides, etc. It will be awesome.

The update will also be up today

Wasnt this a chatroom or what?

 

[Supermath]

Except that it's not a spam chatroom. Spam is not good.

 

[Love]

But this is a pc chatroom!

 

[Reno]

I'm reasonably confident it's time for a new thread.

@gandhi rule: Spam which has absolutely nothing to do with NESing, if in excess, is not allowed. And this is not exactly a chatroom either.

 

[Angst]

I agree with the thread thing.

 

[Supermath]

The last one went for another 35 pages. I think we should be good for now. And we're a good 70 pages away from matching TWTUD.

 

[sp1023]

Well, we shall see what update skill lord joakim has then, won't we?

 

[Sloaf]

Can a banned individual A) receive and B) reply to PMs?

Not that I would want to associate with such a person.

 

[sp1023]

Yes, PMs are allowed, even when banned.

 

[Dachs]

Yes, PMs are allowed, even when banned.

That's why Abaddon will still get orders in in SerfNES II...won't he?

 

[Sloaf]

Yes, PMs are allowed, even when banned.

This is worth putting in writing:

Thank you sp1023, that was very prompt and helpful.

Regrettably, it isn't. I highly recommend Rhyes and Fall of Civilization, however.

But this is a pc chatroom!

No it's not.

Reno hath spoken. I'm starting a new thread now.
