21 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Quebec]:Hello everyone. Good luck. This is my third game on this map, and second time Quebec... it's not the best. This is some good company here btw, should be brutal :) |
21 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Pacific-Russia]:Yes - best of luck to all - it promises to be an epic contest. |
21 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Oz]:Greetings one and all. All ambassadors welcome in the penal colonies. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [China]:Well, well, well, I got my own home. Something to defend at the very least. Good luck all. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [China]:Oh, and do not worry about the phase length. One of the mods will take this back to 24 hours per turn as soon as he wakes up and sees we have started. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [India]:Hello everyone. As one of the relative newbies here, I hope I won't be cannon fodder for the experts. But I couldn't resist joining a game with so many illustrious competitors. I would hope to epitomize the non-violent nature of Mahatma Gandhi playing as India, but I fear that won't work well with this crowd. Good luck to all. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Libya]:Yep - good luck to all. Been looking forward to this one but no idea how to play it! |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [USA]:I think we should keep the 3 days intact for the first set of diplomacy, personally... |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Libya]:Not a bad idea. I like to chat to 'everyone' so could be here for ages... ;-) |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: (figlesquidge): Hello people :) Right, as suggested I'll leave the first phase at 3 days, but after that it'll go down to 24hrs. Also flash, re "that thing from the PM ages ago": Done and great. Now then, show webDip how the world map should be played people! |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Near-East]:Good game to all. :) |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [China]:Just discovered. The Chinese consider Penguin flesh a delicacy. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Pacific-Russia]:Just out of an abundance of caution I would like to note that Penguins do not live at the North Pole (or Pacific-Russia). We have polar bears - but Penguins only live in the south - and I'm sure polar bear is tough and not tasty :) |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Argentina]:I suspect China meant "reindeer flesh", which is both soft AND tasty. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Pacific-Russia]:Probably true - in that case before the Chinese invasion occurs I would just note that having worked so hard for Santa over the Christmas period all reindeers have been given time off to enjoy sunnier weather in the southern hemisphere where it is currently summer. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Frozen-Antarctica]:Good luck everyone. And Flash, I would be more then happy to convoy a unit or two of 'penguins' up to you. :) |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Oz]:On a serious note, is there a way to get the Near-East's text color changed, that are extremely light and difficult to read. |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Frozen-Antarctica]:Quick note to everyone: I'll be away this weekend and so not able to respond after Saturday morning (I'll be back on Monday). |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [Frozen-Antarctica]:(Saturday morning EST that is) |
22 Jan 10 UTC | Spring, 2000: [China]:I was indeed referring to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic. I trade agreement, which will need convoys and supports, would be most welcome. |
