You can change it like this... EX: Gryphin status

[Gryphin]

Hello,
The good news is I’m alive. I owe this to Robyn, (my love), family, friends and a lot of hard working nurses and doctors..

What happened?
In short I became ill and unable to function. I am now strong enough to return to work in a limited capacity.

Current Condition:
Weak but determined.
Unable to play Star Empires

Future:
I will slowly get stronger.

Contact:
I can be reached at: se *@* windingstream.com

Apologies:
Pablo and all of the other participants in the Lithuanian vs USA match.
Guys I really am sorry.
Robyn knew was unaware of the game or I’m sure she would have posted something..
At this point I am unable to find the map I did.

Folks,
I won’t be around for quite a while. I wish you all well.

I wish you well in recovering from what happened (whatever it is, I gather it is significant) to you. My sincere thoughts to you.

[Slynky]

Yeah, Gryphin, whip it, WHIP IT GOOD! (sorry, trying for a bit of humor).

Look forward to having you back posting in here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Loser]

Get well soon, man.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

get well soon.

[Rollo]

[primitive]

Speedy recovery Gryph.
Hope you to have you back to teach us the Gryphin position (unless that is the cause of your troubles http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

[Atrocities]

From one who's been there, (and I can prove it) I wish you the best. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Pablo]

Gryphin, no problem about the game as Unknown_Enemy helped us out (with a surprise map also http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Hope you have those medical centers built?
Get well man!

[mac5732]

Gryphin you old wishbone, YOU GET UP AND GET BETTER, who else can help me in my research on the Gryphin Position and Circle the Wagons... and at my age I need all the help I can get http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

You take care and don't chase to many of those nurses, ( hmmmm, Gryphin, Nurses, private rooms, Gryphin Position, hmmmm) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

just some ideas Mac

[Mephisto]

Speedy recovery!

[Taera]

speedy recovery gryphin, get well, the Boards realy lack your Posts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Puke]

in good jest, i cant resist the urge to lampoon our poor hero, and say that the Gryphin Position is currently prone on the posterior.

in all seriousness, i wish you well soon. i have enjoyed your Posts on this board, and i look forward to enjoying more of them in the future.

[Suicide Junkie]

I go away for three days, and look what happens!

Get well soon, Gryphin.

[Erax]

Get well soon Gryphin, we all miss you here.

[Unknown_Enemy]

psssst : what is the Griphin position ?

is it what I hope it is ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[mac5732]

ahh, the Gryphin Position has been the nucleous of numerous and exciting replicatious discussions for well over a year here within the confines of this here forum. As the Gryphin is the originator of this most explicit and exciting manisfistation and that of the "Circle the Wagons", it is only fair that he reveals the contents of this question. However, don't be surprised if he again decides to keep this unique phenomenen once again to himself and to continue letting those of us contemplate its fruiterous wonders among the universe. The research alone into this subject is well worth its contemplation

[Mephisto]

Beware, there might be minors here. Such things shouldn't be discussed in their presence.

[tesco samoa]

one may well ask where the minor came from.

A Pint of guniess for your health Gryphin, my friend.

Get well soon Gryphin.

[Gryphin]

Guys,
Thank you all for your kind words.
Over all life is very very good. My relationship with Pooh Star is as good as it ever was. All I can say is the Goddess gave me a world class woman. I thank her and the Goddess everyday.

I am doing ok. I am not the same as I was. I'm not sure what it is but I just can't keep up.

I'll be in and out of here more but not nearly as much in the past.

Currently I play Empire Deluxe Internet Edition.
http://www.killerbeesoftware.com/
http://www.windingstream.com/ed/empiredeluxe.htm

I can finish a game in a few days and I never forget any of the rules / options / features... I strongly recomend this game to 4X gamers who want a break from the rigors of SEIV. I would love love love to see what the graphic skills of Gervis or Atrocities or the rest of you great ones could do with the simple unit sets.
I'll be happy to send you a sample if you like. I don't think you need to play the game to do one up. I can send screen shots of games in play to give you ideas.
Thanks to all and I do mean All of you.
I'll be around.
Be well
The Gryphin Gryns

[Fyron]

The evil quadrants in FQM have gotten nastier in your absence Gryphin. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[Alneyan]

Glad to see you are very well Gryphin. All the best for both of you!

[Slynky]

Good to hear from you again!

It's nice to have a nice woman. And it's nice when a man knows that. Then both he and she will find life a lot nicer.

Get it? Nice, huh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

[RabidFan]

Bump for Gryph to feel better.

[Gryphin]

Fyron,
I wish I had what it took to take what you have to create what I want. Still, Thanks for what you have done.

Rabid Fan, Thanks for the bump.
Perhaps we will have a glass of wine in Bostons some day.

Good to see you up and around Gryph.

Take it easy on the country music http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Fyron]

Gryphin, if you have new ideas on how to make them nastier, feel free to send them along. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Gryphin]

Waves to he who carries the rusty (yet pointy spear)

Imperator - I wish, I only wish. but then my life is good so .. I'll work on making evil anti human maps for the game I play now.

Second Edit:
Figure out how to create a "Wasp Waste" map. Such that the oposing sides have to go through Natureal "Kill Zones" and "Choak Points" to get to each other. Sides would then have to do the old Sun Zu thing with
My worst against his best
My 2nd best against his worst
My best against his 2hd best
Thus winning 2 out of 3
The problem here of course becomes that both sides are trying the same thing so in theory you should get a stale mate.

As for making my own maps? If I'm going to spend 2 to 8 hours creating something I want to play across it. I can't do that with SEIV. Turns take too long and I can't save. I love the SEIV, I just wish........ Oh, and give me a scroll mouse while your at it.
Please http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Thanks again.

Ahhh, I see the Gryphin can "gryn" more than once a week! Well, THAT'S and improvement.

[Loser]

Nice SIMM sculpture. Also nice to have you back.

[Gryphin]

Slynky it is nice to be able to be back.
Loser - Thanks

Folks I have been informed by Taz:
Those "nudges" are called,
"Alignment Notches"
Those SIMMs are DIMMs
Thanks Taz
I do like knowing these things. I'm an old computerfile. I even have Windows 95 on Diskette, well I did till the Monkey virus ruined them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Slynky]

See? And already you've found an interesting (OT) thread to jump into... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif .

[Gryphin]

Slynky um, which one would that be. The one where I talk about decking some kid in an unmitigated act of violence or this one where I use illness as an excuse for not getting the PBW game setup on time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
I guess I should rename this thread.
Any suggestions on a new name?

I don't even know why I post questions like that... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif .

Certainly it can be done (like my grandfather told me a long time ago..."Son, if a guy comes up to you and wants to bet you $20 he can make a banana come out of his ear, DON'T take the bet. You can be sure he knows a way to win the bet already!"). All I'm doing is admiting I didn't have a clue on how to do it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
