    Quest of the Avatar /Avatar vs. Sombra

    in Strategic Command 1

    Posted

    Yep DH, I played all those you just mentioned. Wizardry I played only 4 and 5, and M&M I didn't play 9 (yet smile.gif . I was crazy about BG, but I never finished BG 2, it was sooooo long, and I restarted 4 times to try the different characters!. Ever played 'Planescape'? Best RPG EVER. EVER. Eye of the Beholder too was fun, and all those 'golden' AD&D titles. I'm only 26 so I missed some of the really early titles, but I tried to play everything that was out anyhow.

    Hey, you know, I didn't realize, you're actually the first person to know where my alias comes from. People often believe it's an arrogant name because it means (a) God in human form (which I am). This meaning comes from India, where Avatar means the incarnation of their god Vishnu.

    However, I was a HUGE Ultima fan back in the late 80's, 90's, and I played every Ultima until Ultima VIII, which sucked. I never got back into the game after that. Oh, and I collected everything about it. I even have a limited edition poster of the Avatar standing above a Gargoyle (Ultima VI). Very nice poster, although Ultima V was undoubtely the best. And yes, I do stand for all 8 virtues, except possibly Sacrifice, which I'm not great at doing (that's what my girlfriend says).

    Yep, Leipzig. City of Books, Art, Theater etc... Nice city, good kneipe's. Since i have german bürgerschaftsangehörigkeit, things were pretty easy for me as far as working. I have urlaub in december for 3 weeks, and I really need to be back in Montreal for awhile!

    Challenge for the Nr.2 => Rambo

    Actually, you're right DH, I was just trying to make myself look better :( You did beat me 4-1... but you had the upperhand then, with all your exp. But now, I feel like I could give you much more of a challenge. I'd like a rematch!

    And really, wasn't that the worst luck you had that game? I remember every attack for the first 2-3 turns, you got minimum damage, I couldn't believe it. I've never seen luck like that. (btw: incredible, don't 'remind' me) smile.gif

    Zapp, imo, even if you manage to beat Terif with Axis, that's only a half-victory point. If you beat him with the Allies, i'll bow down before you. Axis is stacked, Allies not.

    I would turn on the ICQ, I could actually, but i'm at work. I'm 9 hours in front of a computer, but games r a no-no. Like the 'you'll get fired' kind of no-no, so what's the point really? The ICQ I use at work is web-based, so there's no firewall issue. Anyways, isn't it like 5am for you right now? you're GMT-7 no? I'm GMT+1

    Dragon, whoa, I beat you once remember? (yes, it was a bullsh1t victory in LC, and you had the WORST luck i'd ever seen, then and now). You beat me once. That's 1-1 smile.gif lol, i'm not saying i'm better than you, the opposite is more likely. However, I have more experience now, and feel like a different SC man.

    Apart from SC, the games I'm awaiting are Gary Grigsby's World At War from Matrix, SC2 of course, and I really love that SSG series (TAO, KP) and now the upcoming Battles in Normandy.

    Actually, Zapp and I haven't agreed on if it's ICSL, but I wouldn't see why not.

    As far as the League is concerned, we should really have regular small tournies. Since 8 players would be max in such small tournaments, some people are going to get 'buys'.

    Let's assume Rambo, Zapp, Me, Dragonheart, Sombra, Kuni and Curry play. That's 7, so 6 would play a game, and 1 would advance from the buy. Then you have the semis, then finals. It works out.

    Rules:

    - Same standard house rules (should be set by Rambo though)

    - Bid? 1:5:20, or for equally interesting, .5:20:20.

    Just an idea.

    Hey, anybody seen that episode where they find a crayon in Homer's brain? Then he flashesback as a kid, and you see him sticking crayons up his nose counting '14' '15' '16!'.. 'ooooh, i don't feel so good'. That, my friends, was hilarious.

    Whoa, last nite, I was playing from 9pm-11:30, and the girlfriend said: "You play too long, I don't like it".... and just then memories flooded my brain of 10 hour marathons with Rambo and Zapp (pre-g/f). Jesus... better not tell her about those *cough* *cough*.

    Rambo, yah, Germany, EAST Germany... what a pit. No, that's not true, but it's not North America (Can/US not nearly as different as Euro/NA) I feel like such a traitor....

    We need to play. I've had my practice against Terif, he knows that i'm the only one who can beat him ;) , so now I need to beat on others. All I can say is that I'm available when I'm available. I'm pretty lucky here scoring a job at IBM with the 22% unemployment here, and showing up on time (at 7am) is priority 1. Priority 2 is SC followed quickly by G/f at Pri 3 smile.gif

    I'll be around tonite (your time 1pm-3pm), but you're not around at that time. I'll be around tho if you can find me.

    Sombra, you're too weak for me, there'd be no challenge. How about you play Kuni, that'd be more even ;) (I might eat my words)

    AAR ISCL: Zappsweden (Axis) vs Avatar (Allies).

    Ok, didn't see the AAR smile.gif

    Allies could be doing much worse. Worst thing is of course that Paris fell. However, it fell the 28th, not the 14th. Few UK losses in France, some armies fled. Preparing for Sealion, so i'm stocking up on points.

    Malta's Fr corps being bombarded. Italians getting experience. Call it justice since for around 6 turns i've been beating on his troops smile.gif .
