I appologize if I posted this in the wrong place!

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am a long time player of Alpha Centauri, playing on and off for years. I’ve often lurked here but this is my first time posting.

Hello, my preferred lunch!

Yes, definitely human, and a live one who posted right off; excellent.  How long ago did you take AC up?  Anything else you want to tell about yourself?

That smilie is maybe my first effort ever that I don't see a lot of room for improvement years later.  Dale's idea, though, but I did do all the work and figure out what/how to animate to say "mob"...

Hahaha you guys are funny

I started playing Alpha Centauri back in highschool, like 2000 or 2001. But then I took many years off of it and picked it back up again about 1.5 years ago. I’ve always loved civilization games or city builders, but Alpha Centauri has always been the most interesting and challenging for me.

I’m probably nowhere near as good as you guys are - but I have recently upped my difficulty level to librarian which for me is challenging. I have yet to win in this level, but my current game might change that.

I’m playing Lal, and currently in a pact with Data Roze and the University and a treaty with the Gians. Roze and the University and I are currently reigning in Yang and recently turned the tide in the war against him and I anticipate we will wipe him out soon. I’m supporting them with air strikes in the north, meanwhile I’m attacking and invading from the south which is helping me also expand my territory.

As far personally,

I am 32, from vancouver Canada, married...

Not sure what else to share!

Money.  I could use your money. ;nod

I, too, am in Vancouver. Much younger than you, though.

At least it's not south Florida; you're a sinner, but being in Hell while still alive would be overdoing it.

-No joke that I found the crowd at my very last renfair north edge of Fort Lauderdale, the most ignorant, rudest patrons ever - And I've done years of southern faires clear out to Arizona, a majority in Texas, a state gone fascist ahead of most - and south Florida was the audience who drove me out of showbidness.

Bugs Bunny had it right.

See, Bugs was insulted the the gub'mint bounty for a rabbit skin was only two cents -"You know, of course, that this means war"- so he spent the whole cartoon making himself public enemy number one...

I've been referencing Bugs being right for 18 years, now... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IDwpTABJG4#)

Sure, punish Florida but the sheer callousness toward the Bahamas, Cuba, et al is just disturbing.

Title: Re: Nice to meet you
Post by: Buster's Uncle on March 25, 2018, 12:58:53 AM

Well sure - I definitely thought of Cuba, watching this time.

WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE CUBANS?

I don't want to go to South America!!

Would they have you?

I mean I did hear Argentinian are mad freaky, and everybody knows about Rio, but I should think there's limits...

scrambledeggs, BTW?  I had to brag to my Maw at lunch -scrambled eggs, of course- that I'd had two live ones sign up in a week. :danc:

I promise that I'm not doing any penetrating of any kind, double or otherwise. ;lol

[Ninja'd - DARN YOU BITING MY GAG! SYNFUL!]

Syn and eggs?  Are double penetration?  I think the loneliness is getting to you. ;nod ;no



No, Syn and eggs sounds like the worst 70s TV odd-couple/buddy-team crimefighting adventure premise ever -
She's a 'dancer'!  He's a fry-cook!  They're detectives!  Syn and eggs! Check your local listings.
