I have Civ4 + All expansions, me and my friends use the Rise of Mankind mod which makes the game 10x awesome and adds realism, thinking once a week 4 hour session and play over a year or so.

Anyone interested?

I don't have Civ 4. I've got Civ 3 though.

In the meantime, wanna play tic-tac-toe?

code:

You can go first.

How we naming the grids, A-B-C for horizontal and 1-2-3 for vertical?

Posted by Dogbreath (Member # 11879) on :

Works for me.

FYI, much like checkers, T-T-T has been solved.

Well, I'll take the initiative here...

code:

 
X|_|_

(that's X to 3A for you, Blayne)

More directly: correspondence tic-tac-toe is ridiculous.

Sure looks like 1A.

And yes, it is ridiculous. The best response to every move (which, if followed, will lead to a draw) is both fairly obvious to anyone who has played much, and easy to look up for anyone who hasn't.

I assume they knew that when they started, though.

I go bottom up, left to right. (following the example of a chess board)

I'm pretty sure everyone over 7 or 8 knows about the unwinnable nature of tic-tac-toe.

Fusiachi seems to think I'm too stupid to understand this. I find that rather amusing.

Things aren't as they seem, then. I don't think that you're too stupid to master tic-tac-toe strategy.

I am glad that you were (rather) amused, though. I wouldn't be anything beyond mildly amused. Then again, judging by this thread, you're easily entertained.

Have I done something in the past to upset you, or do you just like insulting random people?

Sorry dogbreath I've been busy.
