IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Sorry gryphon, I was talking in general. It seems that everyone thinks that it is so easy to just find the right 'balance' between school work, playing Emperor, and having a girlfriend, which I'm finding quite hard to believe right now. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 hah believe me it is not hard. It's just what you prefer best. There you will spend most time at. If it is your GF then you relation will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Question: Is having a GF worth the effort? (no, Nav, I don't intend to "get some" anytime soon, so don't bother posting about that kind of being worth it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 OK IxianMace. :)Remember the phrase in Dune some where ?"Impared longings define you desires. And those desires incapture you."Or something like that.Means every thing comes in waves, no "stand still perfect situation", but in a way it stay's in balance. And the balance itself is the "good" thing. You just have to find the right balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 agreed. You must find the balance that best fits you AND your GF. Not every GF has the same desires when it comes to your attention. Some want a continuous attention while other rather keep it a bit more *free* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well if I had a girlfriend and she wanted to keep things a little more "free" then I guess I probably wasn't satisfying her needs as far as the relationship goes. But I'm not sure she'll be happy to find out that Emperor is more important... (that's if I had a girlfriend by the way) :D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 your opinion will change once you get a GF :). You will find it satisfying to keep her happy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well considering the fact that I'm a computer nerd, I keep to myself, and I don't have a job, I don't see how I could ever get a girlfriend and actually 'keep her happy'. Depends on how demanding she is as well. I mean, I don't really consider myself that attractive, if you know what I mean... :- :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 1 september 2005 ixian mace, REMEMBER 1 september 2005 :) i bet that you have changed alot then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Of course I'll have changed. I'll be owning people in Emperor instead of them owning me. I'll be finishing my uni course (hopefully), but I probably still won't have a girlfriend. Unless that 'special' someone happens to walk up to me when I least expect it and tap me on the shoulder, and then ask me out, which I SERIOUSLY doubt. As for the 1st September 2005. I won't forget. I'm an Ixian. How could an Ixian forget? :O ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 A computer nerd and still be able to get girlfriends ?check this outwww.kimble.org Ok I checked out the site. It was some stuff about some hacker in his 'kimbleworld' that wants to make money. I see no relevance to the topic here. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Balance in a relationship isn't that difficult guys. One can play games and have a girlfriend/wife. You all seem to forget that when boy meets girl, both are who they are. I mean, when you meet a girlfriend and you are going steady, she knows you like computer games (unless you deliberatly (spelling?) didn't tell her).I know my girlfriend now for more then 15 years, 13 of them we are together as couple (with a break of a year). We were married, but due to circumstances we got divorced for a year (but back together now :))I can play all the time I want, the only thing she asks is that sometimes I spend some time with her. As long as I'm not behind the comp 24/7, she's got no problem with it. Remember, in a relationship it's giving and taking ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well I'm 200% GREEN when it comes to girlfriends (i.e. inexperienced, never had one), so I guess I'll find this stuff all a little hard to take in. But ok, if you say so. You all make it sound so easy. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 The resemblance, he is a computer nerd with a girlfriend.Did som ebig things a way back, then only small if you should believe it. And one of the groups he was with hacked a Arabian bank last year.He wanted to kill himself live on the internet under the phrase "enought is enough" a few months ago but got arrested in a Japaneese hotelroom a few days prior.

IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Hmmm, well I don't want to follow that kind of path in my life. I just want to get the skills to own people 1 by 1 in Emperor Battle for Dune. The well respected, good players will also be mine eventually, I mean there is no victory in defeating someone that couldn't possibly beat you. No hackers or stuff like that. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Ixian if you want a girlfriend you dont have to be the best catch (i should know ;D ;D) you just have to be confident with yourself and treat her well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Ok, ok, point taken. :- I never said I wanted a girlfriend though. It's just that I thought that someone didn't believe me when I said that I thought I was past the stage when I thought that having a girlfriend was an option that's all.

Khan Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 well why don't you want a girlfriend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Well I've never had a girlfriend in my entire life, and since I'm going to spend the rest of my days hardcore gaming against people at WOL in Emperor Battle for Dune, I guess I'm not EVER going to have one. Doesn't matter though, I'm already past the stage where I thought that having a girlfriend might be an option. :PWell...You got a point...We are too important for that.. and We (me and maybe you) are too young to hunt girls for a serious relationship... So be a Freak when you can. get girl tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzi0n Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Man not wanting a girl, that was a looong time ago when i said that. ;Ddont worry mace once you get the right girl, you'll be like: "Emperor? screw emperor lets play a different game" ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Yeah and if you think "oh i'll get a girlfriend later" You wont know the right things to say and you'll lose her. You need to start now and work your way up to the perfect girl. Also if you don't go out and meet girls you might just miss the perfect girl and some one else will get her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 It's not worth it. Girls are evil. I can prove it mathematically:First, we all know thar girls require time and money, so:girls = time x moneyBut time is money, therefore:girls = money^2And money is the root of all evil: _____girls = (V evil)^2Thus:girls = evil(Assuming evil is positive, girls are real. If evil is negative, girls are complex.):) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
