[LoQtus] Jeff, has anyone at Firaxis been following the 'Expansion Pack Civs' poll? :)
[Gregurabi] Linux is trademarked by Linus Torvalds
[Jeff_Morris] I have
[Icedan] So.. how long till you find out how much money you've made from Civ3?
[Icedan] Generally
[StarBegotten] then you'd get lots of crap Civ games!
[LoQtus] cool :)
[RodLosAngeles] I own Sid Meier
[RodLosAngeles] he's working for me
[ProvostHarrison] NO. NO MORE CTPs ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[Jeff_Morris] Most of this years sales will go to paying off the advance...we won't start to see royalities until next year probably.
[Icedan] Will you buy a Porsche?
[LoQtus] so why haven't you voted yet, surely you have an opinion yourself too? :)
[Icedan] :)
[|Mankind|]
[Jeff_Morris] It was a huge ship number though...far bigger than any I've worked on ...
[Jeff_Morris] I like my s2000
[RodLosAngeles] .4like I said, Sid Meier is locked in my basement
[Jeff_Morris] cute
[ProvostHarrison] You'll be rolling in it. Will you be smoking weed rolled in $100 bills and rolling up other $100 bills and snorting cocaine through them? ;-)
[Jeff_Morris] Please

[ACS_MarkG] You always put out one...
[Gregurabi] I bet they ran out of time
[Osweld] that's what rock stars do, computer geeks just buy alot of donuts and get fat
[Gregurabi] Osweld: or Ferraris
[RodLosAngeles] .4oh, maybe he wants me to release him.....nah!
[Icedan] mmmm donuts
[Jeff_Morris] The general thinnking was that civ2 was the demo...also we didn't feeel we could effectively cripple it in the time we had...the save hack on SMAC was remembered
[Icedan] I live in NZ so I dun know what a real donut is

[Gregurabi] SMAC *is* the best in the line
[Icedan] I keep forgetting that one
[Jeff_Morris] one more question marc...what's it gonna be

[Jeff_Morris] Well, nobodies perfect...the part about the wonder movies had us scratching our heads
[Icedan] lol
[Jeff_Morris] that stuff
[Taliseian] heh
[ProvostHarrison] No, English
[Ecthelion] Jeff, someone mentioned the LE will be published in Germany... is that true?
[Icedan] yes, wonder movies give me nits too
[Jeff_Morris] the cruise missle can move one tile per turn...but that's not an attack move...it's like it's in a transport...
[RodLosAngeles] .4whats this shit about archers shooting down cruises???
[ACS_MarkG] yeah, and the total war due to nukes that he didnt get.....
[Jeff_Morris] it's operational range is much larger than one tile
[MadLordSnapcase] What'd I miss? What'd I miss?
[Jeff_Morris] I've seen the AI freak at nukes
[RodLosAngeles] .4hey, I can say shit......sorry, plz don't kill me! I thought it would censor it!
[Ecthelion] Jeff..... :(
[Icedan] Didn't you know? It's been proven that arrows can make cruises explode
[Jeff_Morris] He might have been using tactical or he might have been using them after the game was effectively won
[Gramphos] Well, you can always read the log
[ProvostHarrison] I am concerned that all of my games will descend into global conflagration. I want to play nice.
[RodLosAngeles] .4What!?!?! I've been asleep all day
[ACS_MarkG] chill out guys, i'll go to moderated mode and noone will be heard except from me and Jeff
[Icedan] NO!!!!
[Ecthelion] YES
[RodLosAngeles] .4NOOOOOO!
[Jeff_Morris] I gotta go soon...let's take a few more questions
[RodLosAngeles] .4No what?
[Ecthelion] so will the LE be shipping in Germany or not?
[Gramphos] Snapcase, did you test to old account?
[Icedan] Do you like civ3? :)
[ProvostHarrison] Don't be silly
[Ecthelion] they said so!
[Jeff_Morris] I really don't know...the LE and all that was infogrames...I would assume so...but I just don't know
[Asesino_Virtual] yes is the best civ expirience ever
[Asesino_Virtual] lol
[Ecthelion] OK, thanks
[Jeff_Morris] the game CD is indentical between the versions
[ProvostHarrison] How long, relative to a game of Civ2, would it take to complete a game of Civ3?
[Jeff_Morris] roughly 16 hours
[Ecthelion] good question
[LoQtus] how many liters of coffee were consumed in the making of civ3? ;)
[Ecthelion] cool
[ProvostHarrison] LOL
[Ecthelion] hehe
[ProvostHarrison] beyond a googolplex :-)
[Icedan] My problem with games is that.. the first is always my best and the rest never return that old feeling
[Jeff_Morris] We have a kickass coffee machine...lots
[RodLosAngeles] .4Jeff, how long do we have to wait until Civ 4????? And I want an accurate estimation in days, hours and minutes!
[ACS_MarkG] Is the game easier with 16 civs or with 7?
[Ecthelion] I doubt it's been too much
[Hiroge] why is the Manhattan project a major wonder?
[Taliseian] Jeff -- Any information on why when playing under WindowsXP there are reports of the game forcing the monitor into a hz that is too high for it to handle, yet the intro movie plays ok?
[Icedan] Like Monkey Island, I loved the first, but the rest.. just sit there to me..
[Jeff_Morris] uhh...I guess 5 years
[Hiroge] i would have loved to nuke the enemy without fear of retaliation
[RodLosAngeles] .45 years!?!?!?! I was hoping to have it by next week!
[RodLosAngeles] oops
[RodLosAngeles] 5*
[ProvostHarrison] What are Firaxis's plans for the near future then?
[RodLosAngeles] years
[Ecthelion] Dinosaurs I suppose
[Jeff_Morris] We're looking into that...hopefully we can find a solution...those kinds of problems really need to go to infogrames tech support though...they are the experts and they will cooridnate the fixes
[Asesino_Virtual] Dino sucks, make an expantion disk!
[Jeff_Morris] Finish golf
[Taliseian] np Jeff, thanks :)
[ProvostHarrison] Ah yes, golf...
[LoQtus] and after that?
[Jeff_Morris] It's a kickass game guys
[Asesino_Virtual] ohh, golf...
[ProvostHarrison] And after that?
[Ecthelion] golf... I still don't get it...
[Asesino_Virtual] yes yes
[RodLosAngeles] .4in Civ 4, can it start in 65,000,000BC instead of 4000BC. People always say that the BC goes too fast!
[Gramphos] Why not make a Dino mod for SidGolf

[LoQtus] yeah! COL2!
[Asesino_Virtual] no! expansion disk!
[StarBegotten] no, do something original!
[Gramphos] Colonizition 2 or atleast ColNet
[Asesino_Virtual] more civs! better AI!
[Taliseian] Masters of Magic 2.....oops....wrong company :)
[Ecthelion] what about Dinosaurs.... Dino.. aaargh
[ProvostHarrison] .1Any thoughts on Col2?
[Ecthelion] yeah, I'm for MOM 2
[RodLosAngeles] .4I still play colonization.....it's about time for a sequel!
[Icedan] col2 would have to be greatly improved, it's a great game
[Jeff_Morris] Maybe....there is definately some interest in doing some new things...
[Ecthelion] a sequel nowadays would probably be shit I'm afraid
[Gramphos] Rod, what version?
[Icedan] Just don't do a FPS or something like that
[RodLosAngeles] .4Amiga
[Ecthelion] FPS?
[Jeff_Morris] Wah!
[RodLosAngeles] .4lol
[ProvostHarrison] The concept of a col2 would go down as good as a Thai hooker :-D
[Ecthelion] frames per second? LOL
[Icedan] First Person Shooter
[Ecthelion] I see
[Gramphos] Amiga version?
[Asesino_Virtual] JEff: what do u think about Master Of Orion 3, do u think is ur bigest competitor?
[RodLosAngeles] .4Amiga1200, yes it still works
[Osweld] Quicksilver might be making master of magic 2, if MOO3 is a success

[Osweld] one of the guys there already has alot of plans and ideas for a master of magic 2, all just a pipe dream right now, though.
[DavidFloyd] has anyone noticed the much much much better AI in Civ3??
[Jeff_Morris] Sci-Fi is a hard genre...we know first hand...a good game is like 1/5th what it takes to make a successful game. Will moo3 be a good game..certainly...I've been a fan of alans since his CGW days...will it be successful? I don't know.
[MadLordSnapcase] Can you imagine half-life with phalanxes?

[dante1] I'm being tortured. I picked it up at lunch and now can only sit here at work staring at the box. Someone please tell me about it.

[Osweld] I stoped with the trivia ages ago
[RodLosAngeles] .4hey
[PeterT] help
[Gregurabi] (and not a young kid ;-) )
[LoQtus] the chance of winning once just shrank by 1/10000000 :)
[dante1] Only one hour left to go home.
[Pembleton] i'm playing the game right now and occassionally coming back here...i'm still learning...there's a lot of new things to learn...so far having a lot of fun though
*** Marcelo is now known as Guest34040
[LoQtus] fairly easy question, yes
*** Guest34040 is now known as Marcelo74
[LoQtus] help with what, peterT?
[Marcelo74] Damn
[Osweld] The person who was going to pick up my copy of civ3 for me today forgot to make money with her... so now I'll have to wait untill tommorow
* Gramphos preeses Ctrl+Alt+Delete and closes IE.
[PeterT] Ahh, I'm here. Locutus, whay's the most important thing I missed
* Gramphos bootss up Netscatpe
[Marcelo74] Gramphos...are you the one of the Trivia?
[ProvostHarrison] ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH! NETSCAPE!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!
[ACS_MarkG] peter. everything ;)
[LoQtus] I thought that was you but I wasn't sure
[Gregurabi] all browsers suck
[ACS_MarkG] hey locutus, any news from skorpion?
[LoQtus] Mike confirmed taht there's no scripting language and that the engine is not prepared for one
[dante1] Not linx.
[Marcelo74] Stop complaining
[Gregurabi] lynx sucks at tables
[ProvostHarrison] Netscape is so bleeding slow!
[dante1] Opera is good too.
[Gramphos] Yes, I need to have something to do while waiting for the game and searching for the answer to CivTrivia takes some time.
*** RodLosAngeles (Java_user@ACB4AB08.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)

[MadLordSnapcase] I want to post about the GameSpot review...
[Gramphos] Soon I'll go to usnet
[PeterT] Damn!
[Marcelo74] I see the scripts
[dante1] FYI... Civ3 already posted in usenet. Damn they're quick.
[LoQtus] they are working on a better editor and on a more useful file format for graphics (but you'll still need 3D something to make graphics)
[Marcelo74] I wonder when will I get my Civ III
[PeterT] Doesn't sound a lot better than civ2
[Marcelo74] I have to wait at least a month for the mail
*** Jeff_Morris (Java_user@ACB4AB08.ipt.aol.com) has joined #Apolyton

[LoQtus] Jeff, you're back?
[Jeff_Morris] hey again folks

[LoQtus] nice, too bad I'm out of questions for the moment though... :)
[Marcelo74] Any one already played the Civ III?
[Jeff_Morris] I've played it
*** Jeff_Morris was kicked by ACS_MarkG (RodLosAngeles.)

[thue] ACS_MarkG: The traffic is probably not going to lessen in the forseeable future. What are you going to do to handle it? (preferably reopening the OT in the process)
[LoQtus] I never pre order anything, that's plain stupid IMHO (games are like a box of chocolade, you never know what you gonna get)
[Marcelo74] I have to wait weeks before it arrives here
[thue] 575 people in the forums now...
[RodLosAngeles] .4the FedEx dude said I can come collect it at 7PM tonight
[Marcelo74] LoQtus...I will take the chance with Civ III
[RodLosAngeles] .4I want it now! I should HAVE it now!
[StarBegotten] cant you take the game back if you dont like it?
