Polyrythmmm: or can I call you hope
goodhope: hi
goodhope: as you wanbt
goodhope joined the game in slot 1
Polyrythmmm: hop in and we'll see if any other humans are around too
goodhope: hopefully....
goodhope: I'm looking forward to my second game here...
Polyrythmmm: yes I prefer an all human game if possible... we're meaner greedier all those good things
Polyrythmmm: looks like you won the first
Polyrythmmm: are you of the old school atari memorists?
Polyrythmmm: or perhaps a C64 man
goodhope: yes exactly.. 64er
goodhope: I liked it a lot in the past...great that it ist possible to play it multiplayer now
Polyrythmmm: we'll give this another couple of minutes then... was your first game all human
Polyrythmmm: yeah back in the day you could only get 2 human players because no-one had the port hub apparatus to allow more joysticks...
goodhope: yes my first Tournament was all human, but I tried also two trainings with AI
goodhope: its too easy against AI
goodhope: where are you from? I am from germany
Polyrythmmm: I'm Canadian, but I live in England these last 10 years... Where in Germany?
goodhope: near Stuttgart...I have some relatives in Canada, in Kitchener near Toronto
Polyrythmmm: I know Stuttgart better than I know Kitchener :) but yeah I've been out towards Kitchener before nice people... not too beautiful though, out west in the mountains is much nicer... kind of like bavaria
goodhope: my last visit was 32 years ago, I don't remember much from Kitchener either ;)
goodhope: (i was 7 years old)
Polyrythmmm: Ah... I'm only 32 now :) I guess I was the youngest batch of the old time mulers
Polyrythmmm: what do you do in Germany? a trades-man perhaps? or a computer networking engineer
Polyrythmmm: ?
goodhope: teaching maths
Polyrythmmm: advanced LaGrangian invarient stuff? or to children..
goodhope: but I worked for 6 years as software engineer, so you weren't too wrong
Polyrythmmm: neat sounds like a cool gig, I must get something more reliable myself
Polyrythmmm: what do you think shall we wait it out or run with AI
goodhope: you are the experienced one....how many players are here usually on afternoon
goodhope: sorry for the lte answers, but I have here my two small sons (1 and 5 years old)
goodhope: and sometimes its littel bit difficult to type
goodhope: because they want to type too, as you can imagine
Polyrythmmm: If we wait they will join... but it's not a constant flow usually not more than a 15 minut wait Usually even less. but.. here we are sitting. out of sight to the world beyond the event horizon of a vitual black hole... the antique gaming community... maybe 5 years old is enough to try a hand of mule
Polyrythmmm: Do you have a spare laptop?
goodhope: yes i do, but I guess its really to much for the beginning....
goodhope: strategy ist difficult at that age...
Polyrythmmm: hmm probably another 3-4 years then
goodhope: yes, then it won't be a problem
goodhope: he would be too afraid to make mistakes at the moment
Polyrythmmm: I was raised by Germans in Northwestern Ontario, but they were learning Canadian English so I don't have any German
Polyrythmmm: Gerhard and Ermagaurd Gehrmann
Polyrythmmm: good germanic names... my brother is now having a child
Polyrythmmm: and I'm going to suggest foreign traditional names to him...
Polyrythmmm: what did you call yours?
goodhope: unfortunately they don't raised you with 2 languages...its very nice for children, we do it also (my wife is Czech)
goodhope: my first son is called Tristan Alwin
Polyrythmmm: Yes I agree it is a mistake not to bestow all the language interest and skills that you can
Polyrythmmm: I now speak basic Norwegian, French, and English
Polyrythmmm: well my English is Advanced
goodhope: the smaller Hendrik Richard...really Norwegian? Did you work there?
