'Sup everyone?  Good to see all these familiar faces! 


EDIT:  Oh, and I forgot to say that my current addictions are Distant Worlds: Legends and Armada 2526 Supernova.  Just got back into the latter game in a big way the last couple days here.

OK - so besides Starfury & Smuck, who do we need to pull out?  W8? ComradeP?  Who else?


Oh, and I invited a few of the cooler heads from ACG to join us, too.  'Dog knows 'em - GCoyote, RebPreacher, TheIbis - hoping they join us, too :)

Me and W8 play Civ III PBEM.  I gave him the link this morning.  And I'll vouch for Coyote, Reb and Ibis.

Go for it.

We don't intend to leave anyone out - this is more of a shakedown cruise to work out any kinks. So far things are running great, but we just want to make sure things are running well and we give this place a bit of a workout before we start announcing it everywhere. That doesn't mean we shouldn't include folks - rather that at some point we'll be sure to let *everyone* know what we're up to. Just because someone isn't here now doesn't mean we aren't thinking about them.

BTW what do the five colored (or coloured when Spelk gets here) squares mean in out forum avatars? Activity meter? Preggers test results? Air quality in that person's cubicle? If it's a health meter then right now 40Cent is the Incredible Hulk...

They define the role.

Most of them (admins & mods) were pre-set. I cranked the Old Guard up to five yellows, though frankly, that was just a spur-of-the-moment decision with little idea what impact it would have.

We can do more, or less. Eventually we may even figure out how to upload different images. I'm open to suggestions. For now, this is how it looks:

Ah. Thanks for the peak behind the Wizard's Curtain. I like the idea of role avatars. For the Old Guard
who are not Admins it will give us a little panache when the hoi polloi finally arrive in droves as they are
wont to do when made aware of a place made of Amazium and Pure Win such as this one... ;)

Greetings all!

Thanks to stophro (MetalDog) I have found my way here.  I'm about to turn in for the night but just wanted to send out a quick howdy do.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

G'night!

Hello everyone. It is good to "see" you here.

I have too many favorite games to list them all so I will just jot down the names of the first three games that come to mind: Master of Magic, Panzer General, and World of Tanks.

Thanks for letting me know about this forum. I am happy to be a part of it.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Welcome, W8taminute & Greybriar!  Looks like the band is coming together again...   8)

Is this a mutiny, Mr Christian?  ;)

Hi all, good to see so many familiar names already enlisted!

I'm currently flapping about too many games for my own liking, at the moment I'm playing turns in the French and Indian War Card/Boardgame, A Few Acres of Snow over at Yucata.de - along with my befuddled Galactic planning in a small harsh Armada 2526 Supernova Universe PBEM with Martok. I've dipped in and out of the rather spiffing RPG/Tower Defense hybrid Indie game Defenders Quest. I've been shooting the place up, in support at a Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 server, and I've been plinking poisonous arrows in yet another play through of Divinity II.

Mostly I've been dreaming about a Pacific War game, that doesn't overwhelm me, and doesn't make me micro-manage each and every K-Bar Knife I want to put to use!
