But to say on topic, I like these original teams with a NR if you guys want... why not give it a try?
Also D, did you get that e-mail that I sent you about a possible Xmas present with a link to a hell of a deal on a 10 megapixal camara?

Does anyone have a suggestion for Teams 4v4 ,3v3, etc. for next Saturday? Nobody liked my idea other than Patrick, but I guess it doesn't matter since he is the only on who posts frequently anyway.
Also, is there any word on whether Nick Clark, Nick Albina, Colin, Alex, Mike Jorg, Chelsea, or Josh will be attending? I was either unable to reach them or they said maybe without a reason. Right now, Ben, Tim, D, PCups, Patrick Braasch, Josh, Chris, Arseney, and Jake. That's 9 people and 9 computers, so I really don't give fuck and as far as I'm concerned, these people will be playing the first games because they got back to me so quickly.
Patrick Braasch has expressed a desire to join our clan and so forth. He has acquired the game illegally and is practicing hardcore for the party. He also has a computer that doesn't suck that he will be able to bring without question. I plan on teaching him as much as I can when we get home, and he catches on things quickly, and kicks serious ass at games that he is devoted to. I don't know how much RTS experience he has (I know he has a bit), so we'll have to see. I suspect he will have to problem pwning people like Chris who don't adapt to the game well.
If you've been keep track of the numbers, if EVERYONE shows up that has been invited, we will have 16. Holy fuck... I hope the Code Red is ready!

I sure hope pat doesnt choose some crappy civ like everyone else (dutch, ottomans). I hope he chooses one of the 5 civs that are only used by me (germans, spanish, ports, aztecs, iroqoius).

It's funny you should mention it Pat because I was thinking about learning the Aztecs over winter break as well. I recommended the British and French to him as two easy noob civs. Your civs are NOT noob civs, nor are the Russians. Once we see how his game develops, we might be able to see where his strengths are (Rushing, Booming, Turtling, Raiding, etc) and collectively pick a civ for him that fits him well. I just don't know what kinda game he wants to play... it would be foolish to give Tim a rushing civ, foolish to give Chris a turtle civ, and foolish to give You a booming civ. It's all relative I guess.

true. The game is more fun though when there is more veriety in civs. Kinda like when you started out with the french, and then you moved to the russians because, i dont know why actually...

Yeah, the French got nerfed when they killed skirms, killed the French rush, and gave them 100 less food. The Russians play mutch better to my aggressive (and often possessed) strategy. They also function in for a decent rush, boom, or turtle. True, their units suck balls, but the French just didn't have enough fire power. Also, a bunch of the patched helped the Russian giving them more starting food, better cavalry archers strelets and orps, and more effective blockhouses I feel like I play better as an individual or on a team when I use the Russians... that would probably be a reason why a switched.

But I feel like the Aztecs are a good alternative to the Russians because they are practually exact opposites and work better against different civs.

Update:
Josh IS coming Chelsea is coming to watch Mike Jorg is NOT coming
That brings our total of people PLAYING up to 10 or 11 if Colin shows; he is the only maybe. I believe everyone is staying overnight except possibly Jake who has to work.
