Yes, I remember now. I have seen aussie "football" before. Looks like a cool demented game, much like Rugby.

But there is something we all now here. The REAL football is the S. Amercian, European, African and Asian football. The one were you play with... the feet!

The Australian one and the N. American one are NOT football. :P

Football is the ultimate world sport. :cool:

Btw, does any other country in Oceania play Australian "football"?

To be fair, the full name is "Australian Rules Football", which implies that it's not like other kinds of football (such as soccer, which obviously is the most foot-oriented).

It's quite different to Rugby.

Several of the small island nations like the Solomon Islands play Aussie Rules. It's also played in places like India and the USA, though it's not a big crowd-puller. And Irish Gaelic Football is somewhat similar.

You can check more than one option, or none at all, in the second box. I clicked all of them, for example.

Areni is better than NK0:P in every way. The reason some (one, to be exact) of the judges disagreed was she found Areni to be too difficult. This is a person who has said that she hardly plays BoE.

Well, I suppose you could argue that NK0:P is a better BoE scenario for people who can't play BoE. I might concede that.

Anyway, if you want every post and statement to be choked with disclaimers, here's the rewording you asked for:

I find it suprising that so many people (speaking in terms of percentage rather than absolute numbers) have expressed a disliking of the Geneforge interface, as it appears to me to be the best-designed interface of any game designed by Spiderweb Software Incorporated (despite the fact that I personally prefer the Exile interface), and I would have expected it to be the most popular as a result. While I realise that these two things are not necessarily mutually exclusive, it does seem likely from the available data that my presuppositions were incorrect, thus my suprise.

Happy now?

That's a double edged sword - some of those players who have been out for a bit might have trouble getting back up to speed, in what will definitely be an intense game.

Sure, St Kilda have tons of stars. But there's a reason Adelaide is #1 on the ladder and St Kilda is #4 - the Saints can be inconsistent, and Adelaide has rarely played a bad game this year. And they've shown they can win premierships without the big Roo.

I'd also remind you of the 44 point margin in Adelaide's favour last time they played.

That said, if Milne plays like he did last week, we're sunk.

Edited out redundant redundancy.

If he can tell that story, I get to tell the one about my Dad getting a stick stuck through his foot. I've told this one a couple of times in chat but never posted it.

He was mustering one of our massive paddocks on the motorbike, when one of the thousands of dead tree branches lying around happened to intersect with his foot at an unfortunate angle. As he was travelling at a decent speed, being on a motorbike and all, the result was a piece of wood about the size of your thumb getting firmly lodged in said foot. Didn't quite go all the way through, but it was close.

The thing that freaks me out is that he finished the job (another hour's work) before he came home and hopped up the stairs with blood dripping out of his sneaker.

Then he takes the shoe off to reveal a very ugly mess. He gives me a pair of pliers and tells me to pull it out, but I can't tell what's meat and what's wood. So he pulls it out himself. I'm too gutless to watch.

We then drive him to hospital, which is a 60 km trip over rough dirt roads. The quietest 60 km trip with 5 kids in the back, ever.

Plenty of crucifixion jokes got made in the next few weeks.

Here we go again. Australian Rules Football is nothing like soccer (European football).

And that Ashes jab was low. :P

I've taken on the identity of a Crows supporter over here, so I was very happy to see them steal the top spot from the Weagles at the last moment. They're sailing well at the moment and I think they have a big chance. Mind, St Kilda looked very scary while they were thrashing Brisbane, so it'll be interesting to see how that game goes without Riccutio.

I hope Port do well - I'd love to see an all-Adelaide final.

EDIT: Mate, not everyone's in Australia, and I suspect that soccer is slightly more popular worldwide.

I'm afraid we can't answer that question without taking you deeper into the rabbithole. Or needle/ferret hole, as the case may be.

I left early and am glad I did. I might have a Year 10 certificate somewhere, but no more than that.

I'm amazed at all the people who don't like GF's gameplay. Okay, after three games it's gotten tired, but it still beats Avernum or Exile by a big margin.

You explained why you found it enticing to stroke egos, I was pointing out that wasn't what I meant, rather I found the prospect of having my own ego stroked so enthusiastically somewhat enticing. :P There's no need to "defend" yourself, you aren't being attacked.

Yes, and he completely missed the point by doing so. I'm in no way tempted to stroke Kelandon's ego; I just washed my hands. I meant, from the perspective of a designer, it's too bad I don't like BoA, because I wouldn't mind a bit of that fawning adulation.
