I thought of a solution to the "brotherhood" and "community" issue that keeps coming up in other posts. You've all heard of the TV show, Meet the Press. Well, I thought, why not "meet the Civvers"? Is anyone who loves this game interested in meeting their fellow Ladderites in person? Surely many of us had made strong friendships through Civ 4 Players and our love of the game. So, I figured, why not get together a group of my buddies here and go have a beer, shoot some pool, whatever. For the single guys in the group maybe we could go to a strip club (married guys are welcome too, just don't let the missus read this part! Personally, I prefer Thailand for that sort of thing.)
In fact we could just plan one big trip to Thailand for as many people as possible. I've been there and I know there's fun for ladies and gents alike. ;D Also, it's not as expensive as one might think. You can always tell your family we are meeting in Thailand for only religious purposes, or something Our religion, unbeknownst to them, of course, is the one Sid Meier founded of which we are all fanatical and devoted members.
A less ambitious alternative is to have different groups of Ladderites who live relatively near each other to organize separate gatherings.
For those of you who find it difficult to make friends in RL, wouldn't it be wild to meet people you know you already have something in common with in person!?
Post here with your email address if you are interested in either one of these ideas or have one of your own to get together. No fake ideas please because I'm really suggesting this. Also, I live in the South Florida region of the US, so kindly speak up if we are neighbors! If you are uncomfortable publicly submitting your email address, just email me at kingpeterf@comcast.net.
