stupid things i have done

Postby DazednConfused » Mon Nov 26, 2007 2:49 pm

i have nuked myself at least three or four time, luckily hitting nothing. Thats funny cant even get points off of myself. The very first non cpu game i had i accidently nuked my ally, needless to say he was not very happy with me even with many apologies that i gave him.

Postby DazednConfused » Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:55 pm

im really not sure how i did it but i was the only one near him at the time that could have nuked him. i do remember sending a nuke that way (intended to fly over my ally) and the next thing i knew there was tha familiar glow.

Accedentaly discussed unit placements on public chat. Fourtunately, an ally covered by having me pretend to make a really dumb mistake in naval positioning, I forget what it was. Also, clicked one too many times while placing a naval fleet...

Ah....

I thought you could only use the mousewheel.

And anyway, I don't actually play it. Too HARD! I'm onto Darwinia, now.
