You don't recognize so many people as they left being dissatisfied with Civ 3.

What happened to Civ 3?? It's a sad story. Check the threads.

Blame it on hype. Hype always ends up making things dissapointing. Like Scooby Doo the Movie.

I've always wondered, so I've got to ask. You're a java-script bot right? Like no real human being would spend the amount of time you do being ridiculed and laughed at. So again you're jimmytricks code-frankenstein?

Ok people, fill me in on Coracle now. I see coracle bashing posts everywhere. What's up with Coracle? I just had to ask.

Well, I do not think anyone knows what is up with Coracle exactly... I do not think he himself knows what is up with him exactly...

The thing is that Coracle spends an awful amount of time posting on how much he dislikes Civ 3 (which, BTW, he calls "Soren Johnson's Culture", IIRC). Especially the culture flipping idea, that is... he seems to be utterly disgusted by the concept - I bet he lost a great city to the culture flip in the past and can't get over it... He also hates having his road movement bonus cancelled in the enemy territory.

Now, I do not think he might be a bot - would have to be a very good bot, one with an AI never seen before. My reason for believing so is that he sometimes posts an idea that has some merit (even if not completely on topic). Sadly enough, he seldom responds to arguments of others... usually just repeating that this or that feature of the game is "A BIG, ILLOGICAL CROCK" (do I have it correct? ).

If you are new to the Coracle thing, read his posts for about a week (uh... well... maybe less...). After that initial period, you will know what he dislikes about the game and you will be able to either safely ignore his posts from that time on or look at them just as I do - as something that is an amusing part of this great community at Apolyton...

In the end... you will probably find out you are missing him when he is banned... Much like you would be missing that small pinch of salt in your apple pie...
