All this talk makes me pine for a new Languish MP game. Come on, people. EU3? Civ5? Napoleon? Something?

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

You can only get about 8 years of gameplay in a 4 hour block because of all the crashes.

:contract:  If not for this, I'd be all over it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I would happily do Civ 5 if we could come up with a decent time.

I would be in what is a reasonable time?

The usual times we were playing are fine with me--IE, evenings on weekdays, maybe some time on Saturdays.  The great thing about Civ V is that it doesn't require a weekly, guaranteed commitment to play a good MP session.  It just takes a few hours and people willing to play quickly.

I've definitely grown tired of playing single-player of it, though.  I'm done practicing; time for a real challenge.

That's okay; neither does Berkut.

:lol:

I would be glad for a Sunday Civ5 game. Also Sengoku is getting a patch this week, mayhaps worth a try

Saturdays would be good for me, but make a suggestion for a time.

What's wrong with CK:DV? I recall playing CK MP long ago just fine (this was pre-DV though).

I run it slow and it doesn't crash, run it fast and it crashes... but... can we look at the ledger in mp without pausing the game?

Meh, I liked playing/learning Paths of Glory with Berkut. Alas, I don't know the rules of Here I Stand.  :cry:
That's easy to fix, I'd be up for HIS game too.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

It's been a peeve of mine in the MP games I've played online. If it's a stronger player beating up on a weaker one it's "bullying". If the weaker player puts together an alliance to beat the stronger player it's a "gangbang". Any time there's a resounding defeat it devolves into meta-game whining.

I don't like this pejorativization of the term "gangbang."

I agree, it's the wrong term. Gang rape is a more apt expression as obviously the victim of the coalition isn't consensual.

I miss FTF gaming.   :(

I always liked computer gaming better: no set-up, no clean-up, no rules lawyering, hell, no rules learning if you don't feel like it, less expensive.
