Good luck, guys. As the best players in each of the games I joined when I joined the site, I'm excited to see you team up. I'm rooting for you!
Thanks THH, are we too late to get a ded-lurker or will you be defending us in the lurker thread when we do dumb stuff?
I think Serdoa easily ranks as better than me, he just ran into some local difficulties in 46, and I don't think we can decide between you and I just yet  . In fact I'm really just here to do the naming scheme, I'm expecting Fintourist to do all the real work. He's a bit quiet so far though...

That was a brain-fart; of course, Serdoa is considered one of the best-ish players on the site; I guess I meant best new player in each game. I can dedlurk if you guys would like me to; I have no idea how good of a dedlurker I'd be since I've never done it before, and note I'm on a Mac so I couldn't log in, but yeah, I can dedlurk you guys if you'd like.
Great - you have my word that we'll be entertaining!
 I guess if you can't play the mod on your machine (or is it just that you can't log into a pitboss with the mod?) it might make it harder to make suggestions, but ded-lurking is more about patting us on the back when we spawn between Commodore and Krill isn't it?

Okay, I'm in! I don't know what it is, but Krill has mentioned several times his mod is incompatible with Macs. I guess that'll just force you guys to report really well.
While we're waiting here is the list of teams in the order I'd least like to start next to them:
Anyway, BRick, do with this what you will...  Just please don't rush, I'm sure Fintourist will be back soon

Awesome, Old Harry, I love those type of posts.
 In return I'll ask the random number generator really nicely for you to put you by peaceful people and it'll make you go by krill anyways :P Just out of curiosity, from the view of other teams, where would you place yourself on that list?

Best use of smileys. Ever. I think I agree generally, though my impressions of several of those names are less clear. Keeping that in mind, I'm going to be a bit uppity and rate you guys somewhere between six (just below Serdoa) and 11 (with Harry's Demogame dedlurker; that seems to make sense). Anyway, I think you/us should make a fairly good showing in this, even if we probably can't win with those top three names in the mix ...
WilliamLP addressed the Lord Parkin name-thing recently and denied it ... probably not, but fun to think about. Lewwyn I think (?) apparently joked HAK and I were Locke and Cervantes going into PB10. Shame I had to step away from that one ... Edit: "From the view of the other teams" - did you mean what we think the other teams think of us, BRick? |
why is this allowed? - [Edit: It isn't! Wahay! 
is a merciless civ machine who'll sniff out our weakness and crush us.
ANGRY! If they're nearby lets just be really quiet 
capable of whipping an enormous army at the drop of a hat and crushing anyone. Show no fear, back away slowly and whatever you do: Don't. Look. Away.
one of the best writers on the site must be one of the better players. No idea about Ichabod though 
if we just try not to act like a deity AI we might just stand a chance...
I've no idea really, sorry, only this high for his score in pb8.
although Retep has started pb11 very well
no idea about Bacchus, but CH has kept Gillette on the straight and narrow when I've got buried in detail, we'll see if he can do the same here.
seems pretty sharp on the forum, no idea if that translates to civ?
a decent enough guy who just can't stop getting rushed. Is it our turn this time?
