Well, I thought I was a slow player, but now I wonder if I'm not even slower than I thought. I play medium only this far (I mean, most of my games). If I loose, I do so in the first 50 turns. If I win, I think I isually get way past 2220 (I don't know why O have this figure in mind, I guess I don't check the date much beyond that point: if I'm alive by then, I'm usually just passing turns in order to win.

[quote]Terl decided that he may use the new Sartre Missile, you know, the one of the "doesn't matter class" [/quote] Hello Terl. This sounds quite an evil weapon: I guess it bores enemy troops to death ;) (although I usually get laballed as leftist, I'm not very fond of Sartre). I couldn't play very much this week end(an optimistic way of saying not at all, I just thought/imagined my game). And now, I'm back at work :( But I'm thinking about starting a painful/ huge or

[quote]how you can finish a game as "good" at all after exterminating an entire species with 8 terror stars [/quote] Well, some things do never change: history is always (or close to it) written by the winning side ;p So I guess they can say whatever they want afterwards...

Well people, nice talk. Very little work done. So it would seems there is little point in my staying at the office. So... let's go home :D . See you later, when I'm in a much more nice place!

That was a nice dream. Can I come visit? Maybe my wife can distract yours from interrupting our gaming. they can go complain together while picking up stones and shells :) By the way, I know a beach just like that in Brazil (sighs). terl, I think that company can become a really big multinational!

Hello everyone. Long time no seen (my fault). Shalom, I too have noticed there was some tension in the forum lately -- I tried to keep track of what was happening (too bored at work). But Shalom, I do agree with Terl: I saw there was some flaming between you and some special forces, but that's no reason to leave the forum. And even if as I said, things were a little rough lately (I had my own experience in the environmental thread, with Maxtipherous) I don't think it's accurate (in
