08 Nov 17 UTC | Spring, 1860: Dr. Recommended (Moderator): (Dr. Recommended ): I see what you did there. You’re stalking me now, probably right outside my window. Creep. |
08 Nov 17 UTC | Spring, 1860: Hahah. Wasn't sure whether you could appreciate it, but that's just how edgy i am.. |
08 Nov 17 UTC | Spring, 1860: I have to say, after going through Cap's vdip map to discover the existence of Bend i was curious enough to send it through google images -> If I may believe what i've seen on those pictures, it surely looks like an extremely beautiful area to live. Nicely done, doc ;-) |
08 Nov 17 UTC | Spring, 1860: I wouldn’t mind living tropical for a winter month or two, but there’s nowhere else I’ve been that I’d rather call home. For someone who loves the outdoors (and beer!) this is about as good as it gets. |
08 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1860: Got some fine breweries in Oregon? Or more specifically the area you're from? |
08 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1860: Oregon in general is crawling with them, but Bend in particular enjoys over two dozen small craft breweries that are constantly competing and collaborating with each other. There is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to excellent beer. It’s one of the perks of being a musician here, lots of good free beer :) |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Are you effin kidding me. I meant to move NYC to Phil to cover that shit. |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1861: I think I need to retire. Maybe take up checkers. |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Alright, I guess it's not an immediate defeat. |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Remind me where you live? You’re Dutch heritage living in US? Born in...? I think you told me this but I forgot and I might be making stuff up. |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1861: Hahaha, you provide excellent entertainment doc. That was a shortlived moment for me in DC, though I still got a little prize with the annexation of Ohio. Also, perhaps you should become a novelist. You've turned something like a "I'm Dutch, nothing special." into 'Dutch heritage living in the US' haha. Then again, I wouldn't exclude the possibility of moving to the US for a while from my timeline. Though for the time being i'm going to be stuck in the Netherlands. Yet, as i've described before, i don't feel too strongly connected to my (Dutch) heritage, which I think is quite common amongst the Dutch people. |
09 Nov 17 UTC | Spring, 1862: Ha - I'm leaving in an hour for my writing class ;) I have a Dutch friend, nothing special, though he was born and raised in the US. He goes back with his father to visit family, keep in touch with that heritage, and ride bikes or something. I might have thought you lived in the US because of the way you use your English, it's very familiar to me, reminding me of several American friends I've known. I still chuckle when I think of "butthurt over ma banter." |
11 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1862: Writing class? that's sweet. "keep in touch with that heritage, and ride bikes or something." LOL. That's the Dutch dream. And I will consider it a compliment that i'm reminding you of some of your American friends. Perhaps it was well worth it that I dated that Kentucky girl for a while, as that definitely drew me more to the American way of conversing. And well.. Tassa.. what can I say haha. |
11 Nov 17 UTC | Autumn, 1862: He’s perpetually butthurt. |
11 Nov 17 UTC | Time to Bend, Doc. |
11 Nov 17 UTC | (As you can see, i'm gradually making my way to Oregon) |
11 Nov 17 UTC | You won't get here in this game! |
11 Nov 17 UTC | GameMaster: Union voted for a Concede. If everyone (but one) votes Concede the game will end and the player _not_ voting Conceede will get all the points. Everybody else will get a defeat. |
11 Nov 17 UTC | I'll gladly keep playing these with you, but what I really look forward to is a winter break best-of-7 with you, when I can take a little time to refresh myself on the map and put more thought into my moves, so I can give you the quality games you deserve. |
11 Nov 17 UTC | I'd very much be down for that ;-) Though I want to ask how a 'best-of-7' would take shape in terms of variant and respective empires played? Same variant with random assignments? |
