moved you to discussions mib...

I guess we'd just better make sure your last maps get stamped and forged then, eh? I'll be away for a few days, but I'll put your maps on the top of my to-do list. :)

That kicks ten different kinds of ass.

so for those of us that don't watch the martha stewart show, how do we find a video of the interview?

I searched a bit and it doesn't appear that the show is re-run at all.

Do you know what though - I reckon that we could turn "Death & Taxes" into a CC map... with a bit of tweaking here and there!!!

heh, we'll see. I think it's more that I have something else besides CC to fill that need to create.


create what? that budget thing is silly. there are so many terits, the bonuses are all screwed and not to mention the bottle neck represented by the flag.

aslo it looks too much like the space map. rip-off.

oh and the theme is bad. who cares about conquering housing for the elderly? it's worth a measly 0.575 billions and it has a 23% decay rate.

I know - but we could tweak it - perhaps having a load of starting territories deep in the arms and the big areas neutral... could be quite good fun!!

I think this might take you to the video...

http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/sit ... 09a00aRCRD

If look in the boxes to the right of the video screen, you'll see Mibi's death and taxes poster. Click that, let the advertisement run for half a minute, and then that clip of the show starts.

yea thanks andy


I wonder how much going on the show impacted sales.

Also, who are his clients? Mostly schools I'd guess.
