I live in Philadelphia (probably an hour and a half to two hours away). I believe Croda lives in Harrisburg. Drop me an email and maybe we can figure out a day for a road trip. Peng and Hiram have each been to my home for Hotseat games (as a matter of fact both will probably be at my home for the Superbowl tomorrow). But TCP/IP is better to play than Hotseat except of course for the human interaction that you get by playing face to face.

The most perfect of all Peng photos is being sent to Lorak as we speak. Lorak...drop everything you're not doing (likesending me a file) and post it NOW! After looking at it more closely tonight I think I can say with some certainty that was taken while playing ASL at my old old apartment. It is circa 1991 but if you were to meet Peng today you would see very litle difference in the way he looks. He has aged as well as a pod like himself could hope to. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

SCORE!!! Although I didn't find the Peng picture I was looking for I sent another that is very close. AND I found the negative of the pic I was looking for. This is a classic picture that I debating putting on the board as soon as I get it. I don't know if I can wait for Lorak to put it on his site.....Ok...I'll wait. And as a side note...Knowing Peng as well as I do I am sure he will be proud to have this picture as the image you all have in you minds when you read his posts.....hell it probably IS the image you all have in your little minds. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

Marlow has defeated me in runes dreaded "A river runs throught it". He cheated of course but that is just his way. Just checked out the photo page....I didn't think you were serious. I have a picture in mind that I should be sending shortly...But where my work really lies is in finding this picture of Peng....probably 10 or 12 years old now but he looks no different (he has timeless good looks). This picture captures the personality of the person you have seen on this board and the person in real life (although there is really very little difference). I haven't really given a damn about the squire/knight/lord ranking but I can assure you that if I find this picture I will need to do nothing else to become a Lord. (Peng you know the picture I mean and I'm sure I have it not you.) ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

My 1st ever TCP/IP operation has ended. Peng and I began last night and finsihed this evening. He surrendered of course. Lorak? Does that count as 5 battles won or just one? ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

Does Risk count? If not: Board: Panzer Blitz (AH game that evil Peng brought over one day and my life hasn't been the same ever since). Computer : Squad Leader (I don't rememeber for sure if that is what it was called but it used the SL board #3 and my Commador 64 processed the turns and told you with text where to move units ect...) ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

One other quick point..I think the reason we are all recommending smaller battles to start is because you will learn the more detailed points of tactics that way. When you then go on and play larger ones you can think of different parts of the map a different small battles...make sense? ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

Start with the smaller ones. One or two of those should be enough. Then do an operation. Then start looking for humans to play against. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

Has any consideration been given to allowing Fionn a reprieve? It seems as though he has done his time. I haven't had any communication with him in a couple months so for all I know he may not even want to come back. But Fionn has a wealth of knowledge that he has always been eager to share. And with serious development having started (or about to be started) on CM2 his input and historical insight would be nice to have around. All of this assuming of course that the folks that would goad him into flame wars would behave themselves and he would try to not them get to him too much. Just a thought. I learned a great deal through him. Not just the things he said but the interest they gave me to go out and research and read further on my own. I will understand if this gets locked up right away but I hope some consideration will be given. PS Even if he isn't given a stay..will he be a beta guy again? ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

Stuka, congradulations on your impending nuptials. Getting married was the best thing I ever did..that's why I've done it twice..I like it that much. And the age gap is perfect. I just turned 40 and my wife turned 27 last month. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

Heathen, I also posted to your other thread. If you think something is wrong send the files to Matt. He will check it out. But he will need to see specific examples because remember these guys did a ton of testing before releasing this so chances are pretty good that if there was a glaring flaw they would have seen it. If there is a flaw the only way for them to really see it is by sending them a file. Also remember, a GREAT deal of thought has gone into reaction time of units. Things like experience level of units, command, exposure to fire and threats, human error ect.. The list is very long. 12 seconds is not too much time for a unit to sight, decide and act upon a situation. I may seem like a long time in the game (esp. with rewind/fast forward/pause ect.) but real world under in battle siuations under stress it doesn't seem like too long. CM is more like a simulator than a justa game. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

Heathen it must be your ability to play the game well has gone down. Because, as all have stated, the turn is "crunched on one PC then transferred. Even if it wasn't I don't understand your point. Are you saying because your opponent might have a faster connection than you then his computer might get the turn information faster a decide that since you haven't crunched the turn yet that it will fire armor faster at your armor before you get a chance to crunch your turn? Doesn't make much sense does it Heathen? ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics.

I know this sounds lame but...in the Tech support board different people lurk than lurk here. Maybe try to post your problem there.

I was around for virtually all of the board discussion for CM1. Throughout the entire developement of CM1 Steve, Charles and all the beta testers would post items on this board about what is new with the game. This usually led to long discussions about historical aspects of the items and playability of the items. Many ideas that BTS had for certain aspects of the game were (and still are) affected by discussions held on this board. No doubt the lions share of debate took place between Steve, Charles and the betas but if someone voiced a sound well reasoned debate it was heard. The point of this history lesson you ask?: "BTS, what do you want from us now?" When the time comes and information begins to come in from beta testers and BTS if we have an opinion, especially a conflicting idea, be prepared to defend your position in a clear and reasonable way. Also, be prepared to back up your ideas with historical evidense that the people being asked to make the changes have (or can have)access to. And making sure no discussion ever turns personal or into a flame war.

SS_bootlicker.....I am always up for teaching someone how this game is played. Send me a set up...any type game any side..hell, you can even give me all conscript Polish infantry against vetern German armor and I can win...I've done it before. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

Lorak, I can't get onto your site. I don't know if it my connection or your site but.... Mark down a win for Peter who beat the almost unbeatable Elvis. I also don't know if you got my wins against Peng. If you haven't count the 2 wins as one because he is in a weaken condition. So if you count one count the 99-1 Elvis victory....Oh yeah I almost forgot Peng and I also played to a draw last night. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

OK....Last night I was having thooughts of reinstalling Windows 98 the system was so screwed up. Error messages everywhere no idea what to do. The registry checker and System file checker didn't help. I somehow screwed up my graphics tinking around too much and am now nearly bald from the stress. This morning I rememebered a friend who told me how to restore your system to slightly older setup by typing scanreg /restore from the C prompt in DOS. In there I found several dates only one of which was not yesterday. So I chose that one. System acted great except for the graphics but I had the most recent RIVA patch on a zip disc and installed it and everything works perfectly again. Here is my new delema...It shows my version of CM as 1.1b24...I am now afraid to load the 1.1 version. Any ideas? ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?

I do both. I have about half a dozen PBEMs going at the moment and play 2-5 TCP/IP games a week. My wife and I are with child so I imagine after the birthing that will have to be cut back to 4 PBEMs and 2-4 TCP/IP games a week. My only problem with PBEM games is that they can be painfully slow and you don't get the same "flow" with a PBEM game that TCP/IP or the AI gives you. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar?
