Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina

[Gryphin]

growltigga, Your High Pontificateness,
My sweetheart says she plays the same way you "claim" you will be playing.

Sinapus, (if you ever visit the Cantina), our visitor asked me to say "Hi". She is from Houston / Friendswood.

[Gryphin]

Help, ahhhhhh, I am being dragged bodily away from the computer, helllppp.

[Growltigga]

Dear Gryphin, your sweetheart appears to much further down the path to redemption than you. This is strange given her Texan background but still laudable.

I will help both of you to reach nirvana, the way of yen buddism is a trial but the strong will succeed and will reach affinity with themselves.

To progress Dear Gryphin, send me your money. A cheque will be fine but I will also accept international money orders. Keep in mind that they say "Money is the root of all evil", I wil take that evil from you to leave you fresh and reborn. Think of how much less burdened you will feel if all th evil in your life is gone - I will take this evil to me instead

[Gryphin]

growltigga, Your High Pontificateness,
It is easy to understand how one like yourself who is lucky to have one woman in his life why you would be confused. My sweetheart is from Massachusetts, my other lover is visiting from Texas and challenges you to find one thing wrong with that hallowed place.

[Growltigga]

Dear Gryphin, it is obvious that the spirits of evil tarnish your soul. It is clear that you have stooped so low that there is no depravity too heinous that you will not partake in. Verily, it is true that you will do anything TO anything.

Your soul needs to be restored to innocence. Only by relieving yourself of the burden of evil will you be able to do this. Money is that evil, send to me and I will relieve you of it.

With regard to Texas, get thee behind me Satan for it is well known that Texans are living evidence that Native Americans fornicated with buffalo

[Gryphin]

Dear Chicken Tigga Ma(r)sala:

Interesting appellation...in Texas we are noted for our barbeque and our executions...but either way you get roasted.

Btw, the buffalo were in the plains states which albeit a valid way to explain Oklahomans is not applicable to Texans.

[Growltigga]

Dear Gryphin.. you need to relieve yourself of your evils.. you are doing to this conversation what the sodomites did to one another.

It is written in the Book of Cyril that a certain sects of 'Okies' would marry buffalo, but it was their offspring which were banished from the plains and who migrated to the south of the United States. These 'Texans' took to sticking their heads up raccoon's bottoms and wearing them like hats, acting pompous, eating disgusting food and as to what they fornicated with, well, frankly anything that stood still long enough, albeit I do understand that moustaches, short sightedness and an affinity for line dancing were considered desired traits in their partners.

There is too much money in Texas, hence it is a cesspit of evil. They would do well to enlighten themselves and send this money to me.

Brother Uberteufel, anger like that is only bad for your karma and the tranquility of those around you. You should look deep inside yourself brother, look deep inside that fat, flabby, unattractive exterior and see the depth of the anger within you.

You will find dear Mephisto that the anger results from the person you are trying to be. Trying to emulate Michael Schenker is bad for you, trying to look like Helmut Kohl is bad for you - throw of these vices, send me you worldly wealth and I will help you regain some peace, harmony and normality in your life, at least as much normality as a German can reach.

Ommmmmmmmm

Friday night and the posting slows down.

Except for me. Damn Dust from bathroom. SO I am sick.

And not doing anything on a Friday night. What does everyone else do on a Friday night.

I know I am going to bed. And just floating about on the web. Plus alittle irc...

And watched six feet under.

[mac5732]

Hey Tesco, yep, not only Friday nites, but most nites, I only get on late at night because, a. one of my 2 boys are usually on it, or 2, I'm watching my granddaughter... so i'm on late at night usually around 10-11p.

But I do have a question for ya, I've been reading the threads the the info on Mega Evil, Question, is it possible for 2 players, ai or human or combination to both be Mega E at the same time??? I would think that with everything that is currently in the game, that this could be a possiblity. Just curious

I'm on for awhile if you want to chat, then my son has the computer to practice for his upcoming counter strike clan match, sigh, I need another computer....

My good Taz, you old devil you, this is a most strange and wonderous place where anything is possible and some very strange beings frequent, it is a place where one can let their hair down, if they have any, and indulge in a brewski or two amid discussions of some local and different subjects that range from Moose & Gnu Kissing to the living habits of dogs and cats. But it is a fun place to be especially if your into scientific knowledge or just plain banter. We do have some serious discussions every now and then,

[capnq]

is it possible for 2 players, ai or human or combination to both be Mega E at the same time??? <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. Part of the definition of MEE is 1st place having a % higher score than 2nd place. (The % is different for humans and AIs.)

[mac5732]

Dogscoff, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question, even tho it does resemble him, I actually took the photo from the avatar section on this forum, but I will ck your site for the info. tks

Terran C, Most profound apoligies for the Manhatten, GT is in charge of seeing that everyone is accomodated with a brewski when they drop in, However, seeing how he has apparently reformed and is now a preacher, We shall have to appoint someone else to take over this aspect of the Cantina. We shall endeavor to rectify the situation asap, I know what its like to look foreward to something and end up dry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Capnq, tks to you and SJ for the info, I was curious to see if it was possible and what changes it might put into the game, it could be quite interesting if it could be done. SJ said something about using a negative number and seeing if that would work, I'm not comp literate so I will leave that up to you and the others who know what they are doing in these areas. I was just curious. tks again , PS, You are entitled to a free drink of your choice here at the Cantina along with Terran C and SJ for answering my question and Dogscoff for my failing to answer his, I shall see who is taking over the bar and advise them on your iou's.

Tesco &gt; Do you think the Leafs still have a shot? They need to win the next two which I think is possible (33%) considering they outplayed the Hurricanes in game 4 (minus the silliness near the end) and lost in overtime in the other two. They just need to finish off the chances they get.

I hope so.

If not I think Car will win it all.

Tesco - You think Carolina could get by Detroit or Colorado? I think not. Although I hope the Leafs will make it to the final, I won't expect any miracles if they do.

Ok...slightly better chance against Colorado...Roy has been less than stellar this playoff run (minus game 7 vs SJ).

Mac:
Most of the time, it doesn't block the tasks you want to do. Occasionally, the firewall can block certain ports that programs may need. This usually occurs with chat programs (mostly when transfering files) and internet-capable games.

Oh no, double whammy.

Having lost my faith over the weekend and rediscovered sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, I was looking forward to getting the Fabulous Ferocious Felicitous Fantastic Fast-fingered Frenzied Fighting Furry Felines of the Growltigga Alliance over to Mephisto.

Unfortunately, the Tigga mainframe has expired, and my work laptop's CD-ROM has also shuffled off this mortal coil.

This kmeans I can't get my race to Esel this week, and as I am going to be out of the country for the rest of the week and on holiday next week, I am not going to be around to get my PC fixed.

Please can I ask every one's forgiveness for delaying the game and being a right royal pain up the jacksy.

So I would like a drink to ponder the aging body.

Mac its called port forwarding.

I highly recommend that you pick up a router like the Linksys 4 port hub

Or something like that.

At least use the free Version of zone alarm.

But... before you set them up or decide to follow that path read up on them.

Also you can always ask any questions here or private message.

You might upset your kids if you lock down all the ports.

I would like to see the blue and white raise the silver. They will win game 6.

[mac5732]

In regards to age, the bartender ususlly is very good at ages, if he feels that the person is under age, a substitue is issued with the same color, blend and a special secret concoction that even tastes like the real thing, therefore, we don't worry about age limits.....further, by law, a parent is allowed to give his underage off spring a brewski, therefore, since everyone in the Catina is Parentis Loco, we substitute for parents thus it is allowable, I hope this puts your mind at ease..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[dogscoff]

Saxon, your story about having a bet riding on the outcome of your PBW gives me an idea for PBW funding:

PBW could offer a bet holding and management service. They could encourage players to play PBW for money. All players cough up the ordained amount at the beginning of the game, and the PBW team hold on to it until the winner is decided. Since the game could go on for months and months, the PBW crew could invest the cash in a "safe" investment and make a few pennies interest on it in that time. At the end of the game, they would decide the winner and pay out all the cash (minus interest). Lots of games with lots of players betting moderate sums could make this a viable venture.

Thy could also run tournaments with spectators placing bets, and PBW allocating odds based on previous victories etc.

If you think I'm serious about all this, BTW, you need another drink.

Edit: Wrong name. *hic*

Saxon, Heros MM 4. We just started about 4 wks ago. No time limit for a turn, We meet at friends house, and while one is taking his turn, we are in other room watching TV, baseball, moview and just hashing over various games we play like SE4, and Shogun. Usually play Sunday nights for about 5 hrs. So far worked out ok, But we've done this before when we play SE4 Hotseat, we just finished a game of SE4, (I came in 3rd by the way). So we thought we'd try MM4 before we get into Gold w/mods. We are all trying different mods to see which one we want to start with in SP.

Hey Dog's

Do you think you can add some more to that footer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Saxon]

Quiet? I have a feeling that work has grabbed a few of us and kept us far too busy.

Now, I feel the need to grumble. None of our games, or any PBW/PBEM game should have surrender turned on. I have just found out that I will not be able to win a great PBEM game as the number one player is set to do the domino surrender. Once they get the other races giving up, you can not catch them. It is a 10% boost to their empire every few turns. I can pull of a few great victories against bad odds, but not the infusion of stuff he will be getting. As such, I have to cough up for a new computer game. He is agreeing not to do the domino, but I still lose the bet.

Also, the whole issue of surrendering to another player warps things. If someone quits, we should just let the AI run the empire into the ground. Sure, the guy the closest to the empire will get some freebies, but not too much.

On a totally different subject. Mac, are you playing Hero’s of Might and Magic III or IV? I loved III and just got IV, but have not had a chance to try it out much. When you play hot seat, do you put a time limit on the turns? When we tried without a time limit, it took forever. One of us ended up reading a book while the other played.

[tesco samoa]

ok.... I want to start a game soon.

I the galatic game will wait for Tiggia to get back.

So I want to start another game while we are waiting

I wish to call it cramped.
1.67 patch 1 no mod
small universe
5000 points
mid tech
10 planets... start in same system.
no ai
all research all intel
winner takes all or peace for 1 years after 5 years. ( That way an alliance can win)
I am going to set it up for 10 people to play.
3 days limit for autoed
anyone can join

Any one interested in this game?

saxon: I agree with you abut the surrendering thing, it can really turn multiplayer sour. Another solution (if you're in contact with all of the existing players) is to divide up your empire evenly and gift it all away, so everyone benefits but no-one more than anyone else.

I am also confused. I sent my race to Mephisto, as I thought he was sorting things out. Hmm, does anyone know what is going on?

On an almost as important topic, I have a date tomorrow night. Naturally, I will ask Gryph what I need to do. Tigga would just tell me to wear a bag over my head, which seems to have worked for him, but I feel that there might be a better way.

[Gryphin]

Saxon,
What to do on a date? I am honored by your request.
The secret to my success is “Charisma”. The key to my charisma is humor and honesty. By not trying I usually get far more than I dreamed of. It also helps to assure them you are interested in their:
Core Values, Intelligence, and some other true interest of yours such as hiking or gnu kissing. You can offer to share the secrets of TGP or CTW but be careful. If you can’t deliver, you will lose them.

[mac5732]

I'm also confused (and it doesn't take much), i already sent my race to Mephisto, do I have to now send it to Tesco???

Saxon, in regards to what to do on a date, The discoverere of CTW and TGP is most definitly the one to ask, however,

I think your question should be WHAT NOT TO DO ON A DATE.

A. do not tell her that you talk to Moose Kissers, Gnu chasers, Tiggas, Fluffy Bunnies, Gryphins, Furry Feline Fillies, Taz devils, Dogs, those who look like a Scarecrow with a Pumpkin for a head holding a pitchfork, frogs with large protruding eyes, or the numerous other, ahem, gratutious persons that frequent this cantina or the forum..
b. Do not, during conversation, start a discussion on glazing planets, improving upon your quantum torpedos, or the pros and cons of PPB vs WMG
c. Do not discuss how you have taken control of x amount of planets in the Orion system or that the Phong have declared war because you intruded upon their space.

But Research questions are allowed, I would recommend, after a fair amount of brewskis, as to the inquiry if she has ever run across Circle the Wagons or the Gryphin Position. This could be of immense help if she has in fact run across these most elusive of theories. The research potential would be of great help in the furtherance of science. This would more then likely impress her with your overall knowledge into the wonders of the universe and to adhere her mind to yours on a high level of enjoyment. But care must be taken in this area, as if she hasn't and asks you what your talking about, your on your own and good luck on your explanation (but you can blame it on the gryphin http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

A man's enjoyment is when he has the computer to himself for a whole day without interruptions and he's playing SE4.....

Yea I am taking over the game.

To be fair since I want to play i will set the game up as before but with the auto turned on so the PBW site does the turn.

Unless of course you feel I should only admin and not play.

I have everyone's race except for slapshot and tiggia.

I will send out an email to the current players tonight confirming that i have there races...

The game will be called the same.

There will the same amount of people playing.

Cluster

1.67 patch 1 seiv
am i missing anything ??

[tesco samoa]

players are

me
mac
thebratt
gryphin
saxon
tiggia

slapshot

Am I missing anyone else ???? If so sorry. Post it here and i will make sure your not forgotten.

Fryon did you join the bash game or are you looking at joining the other game (Small universe 10 planet start and start in same system)

Also The Bash game will start when tiggia is ready.

And finally.

I would like to set it to 3 days auto.

That way when tiggia travels for a week he will miss a max of 2 turns.

Is everyone ok with this let me know.

K-M is busy and i said I would take over.

[mac5732]

Tesco, sound ok to me, Definitly want you to play, Dogscoff was talking about playing to, you might want to ck with him also

Ahhh... Good to be back here. Not only is my Chakra now fine, I've learned how to PBW and add a mod or two, thanks to the help of some very patient, and also SE IV newbie, friends and family.

As I look back on the conversation, I see you all have been having a jolly time. Mac, congratulations and hopes for many more. I'm sorry I missed out on the free brews! I could use some just about now.

Just wondering, do you all play races you have made with pictures you have also made? I don't mind making a race (though what's best for make 'em is a mystery to me) but I always borrow a pre-made shipset.

Cheers and Aloha!

Chardo Mon, Have a brewski on me, (its going on the Tiggas tab, heh,heh) Glad you enjoyed your trip, hope you didn't get to sunburn. I just took my race and shipsets from those in the game, and just changed the racial traits etc, I'm not that good to go making my own yet...I believe The Gryphin designed his own as well as Tesco but not sure, just ask them and they'll help you.

[Chardo Mon]

Ssslllurrrrrrppp....ahhhhh MMmmmmmm.... That's much better. Thanks. Now where did those peanuts go? Or is this a healthy pub with some of those toasted soy nuts? I'll take those too.

I've downloaded a few shipsets from the PBW site, mostly for the fun of looking at the various types of art, and be awed at the skill of some of the artist here! I have found one (Gremlins) that I like to use. The name reminds me of my PC's operating system.

Are any of you regulars (I almost think of you as friends after reading so many Posts by you's all) looking for some fodder in a PBW game? If so, I'm in! I've never played any SEIV game past turn 100 so all your talk of high tech stuff goes waaaayyyy beyond me. Still, it is fun reading through your stories as well as how much more fun human opponents are over the AI.

Ack! My better half says we have to take in the deck furniture. And she is always right of course. At least she does like me playing SEIV, it keeps me home, in her sight and available for chores.

Chao for now.

Lost... Lost!... LOST.... nobody to lose SEIV to. Ahhhhhhh.... siighhh at least I have this beer tigga paid for sssluurpp (thank you), and maybe another http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

Life has been tough without SEIV PBW games, but it can be endured, for a price (AI opponents), barely. My wife says cleaning up all the laundry really will make me feel better, specialy if I also clean the kitchen floor, cat box, garden tools, old mail, old dishes, vacuum, do windows, fold shirts, and cook dinner soon as well as breakfast. Is this true? Sounds true to me, but I have been married for a while.

Thanks all, starting to feel better with a lighter load now. Beer really is a good thing, with peanuts.

Tesco, great follow up.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Playing for money in my opinion, takes the fun out of the game, everyone then plays for blood, opens game up for cheating, hard feelings become a thing of the present, friendships are lost, etc, If something is wanted for a tournament, how about a nice certificate or two for the winners instead of money, easier to get, less hassle, no liability, less chance for blood tournaments..this is just my opinion...

[mac5732]

I. Fyron, hmmm a Donut shop huh, not bad idea, better homemade then the ones you buy in the store,, this has possibilities.

In regards to glassing vs glazing, to glass ones enemies planets is to engage in the lucrative process of enveloping the sphere in question under a layer of fine see thru and breakable material. if there are any survivors after the illustrious depopulation of said sphere, they would be able to break thru the material and once again spread their evil seed throughout the universe.

Therefore, glazing is more appropriate, as this entails the coating of a hard reflective surface used in parking lots, airports, and other large areas which in turn seals everything underneathe without the misbegotten chance of survivors breaking out. It also makes for a nice shiney sphere that entices, thru its reflective beauty, other races to investigate closer until they realize that this could happen to them, (especially if they fail to trade or give tech and resources to the Tka-Chik Empire)

I see that you are enjoying the pleasures of the Cantina, I do hope you put the keg on the Tiggas tab, I know he would embrace your forsightedness in applying your happiness at his expense. In the morning I would not try Terran C's egg in coffee for the morning after stimulant, hmm, I would probably use either Tesco's or Puke's wonderous Sauces to invigerate your poor, abused, sloshed, system.

Aahh remember that while you are in your present condition, it has been found that Mooses and Gnus make take advantage of ones state, so please be careful in this regard and be suspicious of anything larger then you, especially if it approaches and attempts to perform some sort of lip-lock resusitation ritual.

Woah, Tigga's buying?

*Dogscoff hurriedly orders 4 pints of lager and a fried breakfast & brown sauce sandwich.

I know it's a bit early for beer, but this weekend we have the Queen's 50th Jubilee, which will cause one half of the UK's population to start drinking at 9am, and then we have the start of the World (football/ soccer) Cup, which will have the other half in the pubs drinking from 7am. (all the matches will be at wierd times of the morning/ night because of the time difference.)

I'm not particularly bothered about either event, but I'm not going to miss the opportunity to drink irresponsibly and stagger around cheering.

[Growltigga]

Yeehaw, the Tigga is back.. and what a boring few days I have had. California Dreamin'? more like bloody California Comatose... I have been to some boring places in my time but Marin County is even worse than a small Welsh village on a rainy Sunday afternoon

Hang on.. what complete bar-steward has been putting all the booze on my tab? who the hell ordered the small keg of horrible fizzy weak american beer, what nancy-boy has been on the Babychams and sherry? has someone let Mac out again?

Whose been sick in the corner? Right, bleeding typical, you leave the house for a couple of days and the kids go and have a party and wreck it.

Tigga looks to other resident of bar, El Scoffo who is busily stuffing his face, walks over and proceeds to give Dogscoff damn good kicking

Right, I feel much better now. Mac - happy birthday, The High 'bury me in a Y shaped coffin" Gryphin - keep your tights on darling (hard for you I know), Tesco - I am off on my holidays tonight so will be gone - I cant be in the game for a week

Walmart, unfortunately I am not going home before I fly out to the Land of the Dried Squid so I cannot send my game to you

Please start without me if necessary as I might just decide to abandon the current Mrs GT and stay out in Japan with a geisha

"Brewing" is the key word here. Any micro brewery will naturally tend to produce better ale than the mass produced stuff you get (I mean budweiser and coors and miller is absolute cack) as will the love and care you put into your own idea.

Let me introduce you to one of my brother's business interests. He has a timeshare style brewery - you join up, pay a fee a that entiels you to brewing time in the professionally run professional brewery - If I recall an initial fee of £50 plus £5 a month entitles you to enough time to brew about 25 gallons - sounds expensive BUT it is done professionally, to your own requirements and/or recipy, by professionsla using professional ingredients - you can even have your own labels printed and bottles made and I think it works out at about 60p per imperial pint.

The majority of the beer is better than 'saleable' standard, some of it is truly superb

I am a member (hell this is family) and I get the beer delivered to me up here 300 miles from the brewery. Costs peanuts but I currently have about 60 litre bottles of 'GT's old breastrub', a nice session ale using kentish golden hops and with a touch of coriander

He has a 2 year waiting list. Great idea

Mac, you have some real dietary problems - I think you should try a nice Morroccan dish, something like oyster charenntaise, a lamb tagine with jewelled cous cous (heavy on the apricots), a vegetable chermoula with a lime tzatziki and maybe some brondade - followed by calvados as a digestiv...no that is pub food

Sports vs Space Empires?
I know I’m strange. I happily played Space Empires through the Super Bowl and the Boston Marathon. The marathon passes my apartment close enough to hear the crowd cheering. I knew when the first wheel chair, male runner, and female runner went by. The Supper bowl I followed by the sound and vibrations in the apartment building I live in.
Of Brews and Brewing, those were the days. I fully concur with the consensus of American brews. I like Guinness the most but there are a couple of Ales from England I enjoy depending on the weather. Along with playing Space Empires toooooo much and other by products of my Attention Deficit Disorder I can not drink more than the occasional glass of wine. Now a days I concentrate on using the Gryphin Position while Circling the Wagons with my sweethearte and our friends.

If you knew how much the Coors people trashed the environment in their area you would not drink the stuff.

Mac and company,
I'm replying to your post in the "How Old Are You"
Thread
While no one here will flame anyone. There are certain people who will get ignored. I guess you might say I am &lt;b&gt;very&lt;/b&gt; “Politically Correct” in some areas. There is one handle here I will not reply to because it offends me and others. Others would say I am too serious. Both are true.
Peace bro

[Growltigga]

Gryph - I agree with you, I am a bit of a treehugger myself. As for the Coors, it is sad about the environmental aspect of it but I personally dont drink the beer cos it tastes like piss.

I try to be open-minded about political correctness but I due think some people's handles and signatures are inappropriate.

Well, you can try and put drinks on my tab but I think you will find that I will deny all knowledge of it and will take the '5th' I believe you north americans call it.

Actually, the lot of you are such a bunch of drinking wusses that a week of the tab would probably not get over $20.. you cannot beat a european for drinking ability, style, panache, elegance, sexual prowess and a dislike for north american beer-wendys

Actually, hearing about what goes on with youngsters in some of the more sordid parts of the Far East, may be 'Youth in Asia' is more appropriate for Mac than 'Euthanasia'

Gryphin, I agree with yours, Mephistos and the Tiggas erstwhile reflections on certain indiscreations, I was trying to be general in nature without addressing something specific that could extend into something that would be controversial in nature and yet get my point across at the same time.

Mac, you are going (even more) senile.. I am watching England play in the World Cup in Tokyo..

I knowq the world cup is something that Americans cant quite get to grips with but it is slightly more important than your World Series...

I dont borrow - I can quite afford you pansies' measly bar tab

Yeah, I am sure we will meet at one day.. probably when Gryphin is sitting in court pointing at me saying 'yes officer, that looks like the man who bashed me on the head with the half brick in a sock"

Mac, glad you enjoyed breakfast, yuou do realise that bacon you slurped up has actually been sitting in my trainers for the Last week... you know, the one's I have stopped wearing cos they bring on veruccas and strange fungal infections

Gryph - me and Mac the same? get real.. he is old and american, I am young cool beautiful and British

[tesco samoa]

grythin i hope i did not offend you.

frynn and mon... it is ok by me for u to join the bash game.

the small universe game def'nly join it.

if it is ok with the cantina... i will increase the number of players to 9...

tiggia we will wait for you to get back before we start.

the game is called the galactic bash(eating pita and typing with one finger)
the other game is called small universe.

please do join the game..so we can set the order...

and answer the questins from above.

later

[tesco samoa]

tiggia why do you call me walmart now ??

[Growltigga]

Easy peazy lemon squeezy

In the UK, Tesco are our largest supermarket chain
IN the US, Walmart is the largest supermarket chain

Samoa is a Micronesian Island chain. Fiji is also an Micronesia island chain.

Therefore 'Tesco Samoa' becomes 'Walmart Fiji'

What is tiggia? is that a personal disease or summat?

[Gryphin]

Tesco
You did not offend me. Why do you ask?

Advice: do not compete with GrowlTigga on his home turf or when he is filled with jingoistic pride.

Now we know when to check on England and raz GT as they loose.

Well, I think you are actually being unfair to your countrymen there Chardo Mon. Whilst I generally feel that being American is horribly flawed (cue revenge spams) and that the majority of US bars are nasty, I have found some cracking micro-brewery bars in the States.

Good food, great beer (for the US) and barn-like interiors makes for a happy night for me.

English bars tend to be a mix from hyper trendy to Old Bull n Bush types. Each has its place but each is excellent when England are playing Johnny Foreigner

Now the Europeans can do some well good bars - I have had some of the happiest nights of my life in sweaty continental bars jumping around with sweaty continental lasses

Micro-brews are the saving grace of American beers. Personally, I like to brew my own as it is much better than anything that can be legaly bought outside of a decient pub. Extra Strong Irish Special Stout and Dragons Blood are my two Favorites. This morning though, black coffee is just fine.

[Gryphin]

:: Strolls in, slowly pours my own Stout. ::
Notes: Chardon's Last post was #911 and reguarded two "rescue" workers. Hmm, I love a good coincedence.

Anybody here know how to give a "strategy" to a ship I successfuly "crew insurrected". They finaly saw they were going to lose and mutined. Craven dogs, (Toltayan).
If I don't give it a strategy it will glass a planet that it is sitting over. I have "fleeted" it with itself and give the fleet a strategy. Will that be enough?

2nd quesiton:
A different Toltayan DN whoes craven crew mutenied was in a fight with a a loyal Toltayan DN.
The Craven ship had 3 drones
The Loyal ship had lots of Plama Missle V's.
Combat Replay:
None of the Craven's drones hit in the combat replay.
The Crave was hit by at least 15 PMs
The Loyal ship took 50 percent damage. They fought again same results.
This took place at a warp point.

I have saved the files

Any ideas folks?

[Fyron]

If the strategy that you have given the fleet is not set to "break formation", then that will work. Otherwise, the ship will use whatever strategy it is set to use by default.

In regards to juices and the other ingrediants, I must say they are most healthy type organisms, however, when one was working, sweating and trying to figure out what a World Cup had to do with the World Series, your truly was looking foreward to a nice ice cold brew washed down with a high Cholesteral, rich in fat, loaded with protein, yummy pizza, however, as has been seen, it was rudely confiscated by a most notorious adversary who in turn learned to "Look Before You Leap".

[mac5732]

It is not every cantina that has an on duty and on call Para-Medic. Thank you Mephisto for securing the healing apparatus to adjust the Notorious Gryphin's (pizza swiper) injuries. In fact it would be appripriate for you, after applying the numerous bandaids and ointment, to obtain a poloroid photo and post it here on the cantina's "Infamous Rogues Gallery" for public viewing. (You know the one over the bar)

Terran C, Calzones are just mini pizzas rolled over on their sides.....but they are delicious if made right....

In additon, I have research a number of Military tactic books and manuals and civil litigation records, and nowhere does it list a "Rose Bush" as a weapon. It is only a form of nature and thus can not be constituted as any type of weapon. (this just teachs one to look before you leap)

In regards to any lawsuits, Mephisto, who is an attorney in waiting, is unable to pursue any claims as he has not completed his schooling, and besides, since he is the cantina's paramedic it could be a possible conflict of interest.
However, I shall endeavor to discuss this with the Growltigga upon his return from his Asian escapde and I'm sure he would more then be willing to represent me on a pro bono case once he learns of the dastardly deed commited upon my most humble person by the suspect Gryphin.

Taz, I'm glad you are enjoying the wonders of the cantina, drink up, the tabs still on the Tigga, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey, has anyone seen the Saxon?? Since he told us he was embarking upon a date, he has mysteriously been awful silent, hmmmmmm,,, Gryphin, did you send him the theories on the CTW or TGP???? I wonder if he is in recovery from his experience.. I hope he didn't try to discuss the different combat attitudes of the Phong or EEE with his young fillie....

Medicaly speaking,
The best way to avoid a hangover is abstenance.

The second best way is to drink as much water as you do beer.

The best cure for a hangover is water and aspiren.

Reasoning: The hangover is more due to dehydration than alcahol poinsoning.

[Saxon]

Friday afternoon, before the date, Saxon is sorting out where to go to dinner. As the lady in question is Luo, a tribe from near Lake Victoria known for eating fish, he thinks of a nice sushi restaurant. He then goes to the young woman, “Do you like fish?” She replies in the affirmative. He then says, “Why don’t we go to this nice restaurant I know that serves fish, you can eat as much fish as you like.” She replies that this is delightful.

They arrive at said restaurant and she declares that she is a vegetarian. He politely asks if that means she does not eat fish. She affirms that she does not eat fish or any kind of meat. He shakes his head. He follows Gryphin’s advice on being charming, though finding that there are more and more issues suggesting that she is not as delightful as one had hoped. He drops her off and resolves that he will not be calling her again.

Gryphin’s advice worked and Saxon received eleven phone calls on Saturday and Sunday. He did not answer the phone calls. He will read Mac’s advice and answer the next call. The EEE will save the day as their battle tactics are discussed at length.

Bartender! A jug of beer every fifteen minutes until closing. Yes, Tigga’s tab.

[mac5732]

From the looks of things, it is a very quiet day here on the forum... hmmm I wonder if they all imbribed upon themselves of the Tiggas goodness and drank to all their hearts content here at the cantina over the weekend on his tab?? Oh well, he can always work it off doing dishes or trimming the rose bushes...

Saxon, sorry to hear your experience with the Sushi Fillie. 11 phone calls???? I must have a talk with Gryphin, apparently he has found something that we may be able to bottle and sell. We could make a fortune.

Mephisto, tks for the photo of the Notorious Grypnin, It does look like he enjoyed himself withhin the Rose Bush. It'll hang here in the Rogues Gallery over the bar for everyone to see. Hopefully it'll also make others stop and think before they formulate plans to swipe one's pizza and spilling one's brewskis. In regards to the suit, I appreciate your taking your paramedic vows seriously here at the cantina and not using you legal expertise to file friviless, uncalled for suits on behalf of some notorious, deranged, scrupuless entitiy that permeats swiping another's pizza and spilling his ice, cold brewski. I shall pass this whole incident along to the Tigga upon his return as I'm sure he'll enlighten us with some meaningful guidence and abstract concerns over the vile deed in question. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Tesco, and Gryphin, I shall try your recommended suggestions in regards to hangover dismissal. I'm trying to remember what we used when I was in the service to shake off the after affects after a night of liberation. It's been awhile, hmmmm

Fyron, all I can say is hmmmmmmmm http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Besides after releaving myself of stress at the cantina over the weekend, Mrs Mac was not to, shall be say pleased, with the results, the twinkle returned about the 5 or 6 brew and she expressed herself in very short words,YOUR DRUNK YUK. Needless to say, she had her own ideas on recovery, I can now say that my back yard and garden, have been de-weeded, dug up, raked, and mulched.

I was a veggie for 5 years... but i missed fish...(Tuna)

Still ate Lobster , mussels etc... ( Veggies seem to think insects are mammals ....)

Anyone here had any EMU ?? or Ostrich ??

My friend slapshot cannot play in the upcoming bash game... Terrible ... his house burned down on the weekend ( Those in TO will know what I am talking about).

I have not talked to him yet but i know that his family is safe.

Tesco. tried to upload my empire on PBW site, it said "not a player or can't upload now", is site down again or what.. want to make sure its not something I'm doing, you know me and these infernal machines.... let me know tks

Also I do have several SE4 questions..
1. in the player set up - under general details,
you have the design name files list, just exaxtly what do these do and what are they for???
2. same area. You have set minister style, aggressive, neutral or defensive. In regards to the ai, what exactly is the difference if you pick one of these or just leave blank, is there any difference in the play, If you set the ai to bloodthirsty or one of the others, do these also have an effect on the ai player, what happens in same circumstance if you pick say bloodthristy but do not pick a minister style??

Now I'm really confused, I just went back to the PBW site and it shows I'm ready for turn, so did my empire go thru or not?????

1. That is the list of ship names that you can use when designing ships.

2. Yes, there is a difference in the Minister Styles. However, it is best to disable the AI (via the button in the Ministers tab of the Empire Options window in the game). If you really want to know, the behaviors make the AI act as they sound.

Also, the Demeanors in the Description tab do not do anything in the game. They are merely an indication of how the player will act or how the AI for the race is designed to act. There are no hard-coded functions associated with them.

Happiness Type makes a huge difference on what makes your people happy. Always select Peaceful. With Bloodthirsty, your people get angry when you colonize planets, and when you make most treaties. Neutral is always a bad idea. Whatever you do, your people get angry.

[mac5732]

Fyron, tks, still little confused on the ship name thing, when you open up the window, it shows stuff like brazil.txt, etc, what happens if you clik on them? If i clik on them that means it gives special names.., still slightly confused, its the age thing you know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

In regards to the ministers,
also, so the best thing when setting up an ai player is not to set one of these 3 options, just leave alone, or go ahead and pick one, I know about not using them for my race

learning mac (but its a slow process)

[ June 04, 2002, 05:02: Message edited by: mac5732 ]

[Fyron]

It doesn't do anything until you start the game and go to the ship design window. There, in the names field, there is a downwards pointing arrow. Clicking on it will bring up a scrolling list of names that you can select for the ship. The names in this list are determined by which file that you selected when you created your empire. If you want to look at the design names files beforehand, (warning, technical mumbo-jumbo coming up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) they are located in the Dsgnname folder located in the folder where you installed SE4. Each text (.txt) file in there is one of the name Groups that you can select to use in the game. You can put more files in there (and even make one of your own), and they will be available when you create an empire. It does not matter if other people in the game have the names file that you use, because it is only accessed when you go to design a ship.

[mac5732]

that makes more sense, tks, by the way what are you doing up so late.......

[Fyron]

Late? What are you talking about? It's 9:28 P.M.

[mac5732]

ooppsss, forgot, your on west coast, its almost 12;30 am here, and we have big storm coming in, so don't know how long i;ll be on, besides have to work in morning. (yuk) the different time differences do make it difficult to talk with people,

ps. since your on and Mephisto is probably catching some zzzz's
do you use the TDM-Modpac, reason is, I downloaded 3.11 tonight, it froze at the data.txt entry..., then later stated it loaded ok, cked the launcher and it showed 3.11.,

[Fyron]

Yeah, timezones are annoying.

Sorry, I don't play single player, so I don't use the TDM mod very much. What exactly do you mean by "data.txt"? I'll d/l it and try and see what the problem could be.

[mac5732]

when it was downloading, it was doing the files, but when it got to the data.txt file download , there was longer handle but ending was data.txt, it hung up, showed 100%, then sat there, I couldn't get out of the screen after waiting about 7-8 min. used ctrl-alt-del to get out, then on bottom of task bar, showed some rectangel, i cliked on it and it said tdm loaded alright, I checked the launcher and cliked on tdm, it showed 3.11, cliked play se4, showed neew races, but haven't played yet to see if it loaded ok, just trying to figure if it loaded ok, weird. I do play sp, but also hot-seat with friends in SE4 and Heroes Mite & majic 4, just learning that one, but we only play on sundays, rest of time its sp, unless i play with my oldest son (24) also just starting to play PBW, always played in tactical combat, so strategic warfare only, will be new experience for me in pbw so i'm reading threads to see what to do and what not to do...
tks, if let me know if you have same problem with it......

[Fyron]

Well Mac, it seems to have installed fine for me. I really should be getting to bed here. Hopefully Mephisto can help you more with this than I could.

[Saxon]

Tesco,

She called eleven times, but I only answered once. My cell phone lists the number calling, so I was able to tell she had called the other ten times. I have now created “distance” and I think she is getting the idea. Funny how well the talk of the EEE worked. Now I just need to find someone else to try out Gryhin’s magic formula on.

Also, I have had both Ostrich. Ostrich is raised all over the place here and shows up on a lot of menus. You need to be careful though, it can get very tough, so only order at a reputable restaurant or have a lot of that hot sauce to dissolve it. Actually, there is a very cute waitress at the restaurant that serves the best ostrich fillet, perhaps I will have to go and check things out…

[Mephisto]

Morning all!

First of all: I'm sorry to hear about the fire. How did this happen?

2.) Mac, TDM should have installed correctly. The install program waits for the XCopy-dosbox to close and I think it didn't for you. When you where Alt-Del-ing it, the program finished as planned.

3.) Xcopy is needed to copy most of the files as the install program cannot copy files to a location that is more then 150 characters long (path and file name added together, that is).

4.) The AI settings in the setup of races should be avoided. SE4 comes with 3 generic AI sets (defensive, neutral, aggressive). If you set this for a races it will use these AI files and not the ones in its races folder, in expression, it will use generic ones and not the ones the author designed for the race.

Hope this helps!

[mac5732]

Fyron, tks appreciate the help

Mephisto, tks, was wondering if i once again did something that the infernal machine didn't like,
don't know why it hung up, waited 7-8 min, first before I alt-del, looks ok, but i won't know until i try it... tks again, also now I know not to use those ai minister settings, tks

Gryphin, yep, learned that costly lesson way back in my atari 800 days, played during t-storm, lost my color chip, as well as most everything else, cost me over $300 at that time to get it fixed. Now standing rule in my house, if t-storm & lightening, turn off and unplug.... Can imagine what it would cost today to get one fixed, probably cheaper to just buy a new system....

Saxon, I think you need to recognoiter your next target lst, do some backround, and watch what she eats when on break before you approach. Maybe its something in the water over there that affects them,,, Just listen to The Gryphin, he seems to be doing something right,.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

PROBLEM

Ok, the other day my second HD stopped working.
(Shortly after installing Kazaa.

At first I thought it was a burn out, got too hot, but now, since I am have boot problems, I think it may either be the MB (An MSI) or a virus in the CMOS/BIOS

You see, whenever I start up the PC, it can not detect my Primary HD. I then have to reboot, go into the BIOS, and redetect it, then restart. That usually fixes the problem, and my PC boots up.

This is getting very annoying to have to do every time so I would like your best guess as to what the problem is. Thanks.

[Gryphin]

Atrocities,
&lt;pray&gt;
To clear the CMOS,
Unplug the system
Remove the battery
&lt;if possible&gt;
Remove any cards with upgradable BIOs
Replace with old cards
&lt;/if possible&gt;
Remove any unnessasary cards such as Network card. Many of them have upgradable BIOs

Boot off floppy or CD that you have put the BIOs file on.
(you prepared at work or at a freinds)

Flash the BIOs
Boot off a floopy or cd with anti virus on it
Boot off of a CD with anti virus
&lt;/pray&gt;
Folks, anymore ideas? I probalby left something out

[tesco samoa]

Gryphin.

Perhaps it is just the battery.

How old is the said computer ??

And what type is it??

Just replacing your battery may be all you need ... if you can avoid flashing the bios do so unless your confortable doing stuff like that.

If you think it is a virus go to Mcafree and scan your system. You can do it right from there web site.

But it sounds like a battery problem.

ATX Boards are easy to replace the battery.

Your looking at 10 to 20 dollars and 1 minute to open the case remove the old battery and place the new one in.
