Well, I'm new on here, and although I know some of you from Apolyton, I have no idea who most of you are.
So, perhaps you could enlighten me as to what your beliefs are, what computer games you like, and if you want to lose to me in a World War 2 scenario for Civ 2

Hugo Rune posted 06-17-99 10:39 AM ET
NAME: Hugo Artemis Solon Saturnicus Reginald Arthur Rune
OCCUPATION: Perfect Master
DESCRIPTION: He had known many previous incarnations. And then some.
He had walked the Earth as Nostrodamus, Uther Pendragon, Count Cagliostro and Rodrigo Borgia. Although probably not in that order.
He spoke seventeen languages, played darts with the Dalai Lama and shared his sleeping-bag with Rasputin, Albert Einstein, Lawrence of Arabia and George Formby.
He was worshipped as a god by an East Acton cargo cult and once scaled Everest in a smoking-jacket and plus-fours to win a bet with Oscar Wilde.
He travelled to Venus with George Adamski, reinvented the ocarina and was burned in effigy by The Chiswick Townswomen's Guild.
He was an expert swordsman, a gourmet chef, a world traveller, poet, painter, stigmatist, guru to gurus and hater of Bud Abbott.
He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a locomotive and hum all of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears.
He won a first at Oxford, squandered three fortunes, made love to a thousand women, imbibed strange drugs, sold his sold for Rock 'n' Roll, almost pipped Einstein for the Nobel Prize, was barred from every Chinese noodle parlour in West London and died penniless, at a Hastings boarding-house in his ninetieth year.
His name was Hugo Artemis Solon Saturnicus Reginald Arthur Rune. And he was never bored.
From "The Book of Ultimate Truths" by Robert Rankin

What's your problem Hardman?
Are you just upset because you can't maintain an erection?
DanS posted 06-17-99 10:49 AM ET
DF: let's just say he his pharmaceutical bills are getting way up.

What, no 5 star ?

Hugo:
The Chiswick Townswomen's Guild... no, not the ones who performed their interpretation of the normandy invasion ?
Resource Consumer posted 06-17-99 11:19 AM ET
Hardman can only spell ****. See the game forum for other gems from him.
As a Chiswick resident - I've never heard of the Townswomen's Guild.
MikeH II posted 06-17-99 12:03 PM ET
They don't let just anyone in the Townswomens guild!
Roland posted 06-17-99 12:09 PM ET
What ? Does that mean no men, for example ?
Also, Mike: did they perform the normandy invasion, or who was it ?
SnowFire posted 06-17-99 01:51 PM ET
I think they (tCTWG) were the women that Patton decried Communism too. Ah well.
Me? Well, as you can probably tell from my posts so far in places you posted, I'm sorta liberal on most issues. I used to be pretty good with the non-topic topics, but they've been taken over now, so I content myself with "real" topics.

Richatd Harrison - Just finished 4 year degree in Biochemistry (Oxford). Currently unemployed, but hopefully not for too long. Born in Hull 25th June 1977 (so it's my birthday kinda real soon!). 5'7", black hair brown eyes, large built (not fat!). 10st 4lb. Favourite music: REM, The Smiths, Oasis. Like SMAC. Revolutionary left Trotskyist. Atheist "man of science" hence the affiliation with a certain SMAC faction.
I've played MM2 multiplayer. It's quite fun.
Who can't maintain an erection, now? try viagra! Apparently, there was a robbery at my local chemists of a large amount of viagra. Police are looking for a hardened criminal BOOM BOOM
Provost Harrison posted 06-17-99 02:06 PM ET
Even Richard Harrison (no middle name, if I'd have had one it would have been Gavin, so I don't dwell on that)
HolyWarrior posted 06-17-99 11:42 PM ET
Welcome David. Ignore that pinko Harrison. Of course, you've seen me around at Apolyton.
The differences are:
Apolyton rules in the off-topic forums.
Firaxis has better SMAC topics.

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the forum.
The rules are simple here:
No fightin�, no cussin� in front of the women and no spittin� on the floor. Wait, we don�t have a floor...
Seriously, WW2 history... I have an interest there too. Maybe we can get a thread going.
OhWell
�I�m sorry Dave, I can�t do that.�
David Floyd posted 06-18-99 05:59 PM ET
Yeah, a WW2 thread would be nice...

If I told you the truth I would have to kill you.

jsorense posted 06-18-99 06:17 PM ET
David Floyd,
Actually, I wasn't being totally honest with you in my last post.
I didn't say that, I wasn't there and I didn't hear a thing. They made me do it.
BTW, don't believe anything They say about me. They are trying to kill me.
Have a nice day. :-)
