Kind of like as if Rantz decided not to tell us about the Harvesters at all. 19:44:48 ok cool 19:44:55 sorry, busy day ;) 19:44:58 it's ok 19:45:02 on the list for tonight 19:45:08 fun never stops ;) 19:45:15 Define "profound"... 19:45:15 well he helped by answering a couple of questions 19:45:24 <_StREAk_> Night it would have been hard to hide only talking about 15 player races when there 16 for too long.. 19:45:27 so you can ditch the email if yo uwant 19:45:28 I mean, the game did not answer the meaning of life, which did disappoint me a bit... 19:45:42 heh 19:46:00 Chaos, you didn't look around the right Neutron Star... ;-) 19:46:01 based off what he said, it looks like I'll be able to play with you guys 19:46:03 Chaos, for example. The Orions comes back as a hostile race and invade the Orion Sector with a genocidal dread fleet 19:46:07 I don't think strategy games are exactly meant to be especially surprising in that sense 19:46:16 ;) 19:46:24 <_StREAk_> CA its easy "the answer is 42" 19:46:28 the mystic ;) 19:46:40 But what was the question, Streak? 19:46:45 <_StREAk_> LOL 19:46:47 I mean MOOI and MOO2 still work as a charm even though you know them inside and out. Because of the great gameplay and replayability value. Imho 19:46:47 Second Neutron star to the left, and straight on until galactic cycle 93? 19:46:50 it's *brain candy* 19:47:01 If you're a good driver, both. 19:47:02 hey chantz .. PM 19:47:59 Hi Chantz, for the patch, would the developers consider putting in an option for "no duplicate races" at game setup if enough of us want it? I'd like to have ALL races present in one game :-) 19:48:04 Nightshade: welll... if we told you, they wouldn't be so profound, would they? ;) (however, I will say "no" to your example. The Orions are cool. The word "dread" isn't in their vocabulary.)" 19:48:25 Thanks chaos :-) 19:49:00 <_StREAk_> Night but if you use custom races your point is kinda Moot 19:49:13 night all, and chantz, feel free to put the fear of rantz on all of them :) 19:49:17 * Washu_Masaki thanks Horatio, Niski, Mictian, and Drek for the lively conversation earlier (apologies to those I forgot), time to take a break 19:49:27 <_StREAk_> nite niski 19:49:27 Right.
