So far..
Nominating a person from GS is a personal attack.

Was this referring to my comment in the Awards thread, regarding the most annoying poster? If so, I didn't realize I was only trying to protect myself and fellow GS'ers. I can assure you that there are others on other teams that would receive their fair share of votes.

Frankly I would rather be nominated for this award than not, it would at least let me know truer feelings from my fellow apolytonians than vague assertions and backroom chats.

I'm curious about this reporting to mod comment. Its been said numerous times over the past several days, but no one has named names on the suspected reporter. If you think I've reported you, I would like to be told that, as a man. And, frankly, since these 2-3 threads are still around, it would seem to indicate that anyone reporting things has long since departed, as surely we would have at a minimum been warned by now. Veritable spam, ad hom frenzy in here.

Nope .. way off the mark.
Wasnt even thinking about you.
Your comment in the awards thread was quite valid.
(If I thought differently, I would of said so in that thread

)

And I have never been reported....but apparantly, others have been.

{edit - Yep, sorry, I see how the confusion happened.
When I used "nominating a person" I meant directing a post at a single person. Nothing to do with nominations for the award ceremony.)

Master Zen · December 4, 2003, 19:05

c'mon we know who's the only person who reports people around here, hell, if you say his name three times in front of a mirror, he spams!

Ahh, you admit to trolling. Well, at least you're an honest ass.

BTW, you were aware that trolling is frowned upon by the owers of the site, and that it can result in a ban, yes? Do you know why? Here's a hint, it detracts from the enjoyment of other members of the community.

Trolling can be pretty funny in hit and run threads, or in the OT. But that someone would be happy to be doing it to ruin the enjoyment of a game like this for others, and be supported by others in doing it is... a little beyond despicable.

Like I said, wallow in your own ****. Pigs do it and they seem to like it.

GhengisFarb™ · December 4, 2003, 19:38

My my. Canadians aren't very friendly at all. Maybe nye needs to get a Xmas hat for his avatar.

Ah thanks for the clarification. (perhaps I was a bit....paranoid

)

Concerning this post. It is very hard for me to say this after reading all this thread but...

What I said/implied here was wrong and hypocritical and I appologise for saying it.

Darekill, sorry for saying this to you. I think it's clear that it was what happened ingame, and the events leading up to that, which infruriated me and not your post, so sorry.

UnO, sorry too. All the other stuff I said was just trying to justify this and save face when I should have let it be.

Darekill · December 5, 2003, 02:00

Now it is my turn do write some nicey things. Though I still think that I have no weed whatsoever to be Mr. Niceguy

First of all thank all of you who defended me. You gave suport and I saw that I didn't do all wrong.

Even more thanks to all the members here that had enough courage to apologize and tell me again that it was not my person wich infuryated them but the events ingame that probably realy did hurt them a bit.

I understand that. If we weren't here with our hearts we would not play the game right. That includes personal engagements and that is the reason it get's personal sometimes but let's not forget that players might be as serious as they can possibly get concerning the game but the enemys in this game still could be partners and friends outside the game.

I hope this makes some sense....

Arrian · December 5, 2003, 14:08

Oh, by the way Darekill, speaking of events in-game... Congratulations.

-Arrian

asleepathewheel · December 5, 2003, 14:59

Indeed, congratulations.

Do we see an ansar army? Or perhaps a capital move or fp build. Or maybe a wonder?

Anyway, congrats on the second(?) of the game.

Master Zen · December 5, 2003, 16:14

they told me they rushed a worker in one of the southern cities. Hey those badlands need developing!

The Sistine would be a nice wonder. And Lego really doesn't deserve it.

Yes, ND, you've been fighting a proxy war by the evil puppetmasters Lego. It is you who are suffering from the war weariness, whilst their citizens are blissfully ignorant of the role their government plays in this current struggle. Appease those loyal Neu Demogyptians whose loved ones have been lost in battle (granted not that many deaths on your side

) the Sistine Chapel would be a great tribute to their honor.

Oh Sir Ralph, are you trying to antagonize an entire other team now?

Darekill · December 5, 2003, 17:31

Ack, I knew it it wouldn't be good to rush that worker...

Well anyway our forum will find a fit way to use Uthman. The great Leader of the BASF Army....

Hot_Enamel · December 5, 2003, 17:40

GoW needed to cut our iron supply, so we killed the leader.

You shouldn't have antagonized me in the first place.

Now where was that earlier erfernce to the Pot and the Kettle?

(to be honest GF - I would do it as one post if I knew how to do multiple quotes from different people in the same reply. I have been here a year now and still never figured it out. Or for more accurately, never tried to figure it out.

There's no button for it, but there are two methods around it:
1) open up a new window for each post's "reply with quote" link and cut & paste them all into one
2) Open up one reply with quote, then copy the other posts from the "topic review" below the reply box and copy the formatting for them.

I was posting relevant if off-thread topic content, thank you. The +1 was for irony.
