It looks like this post confirmes Aeson reasoning.

Harovan · August 12, 2002, 03:31

There are enough challenges at the table, with GOTMs, Minitourneys and AU games, to demonstrate skills. What about a nice trip to Alamo, 1337? Or are you too 1337 to show your "ski11z" at merely emperor?

Barchan · August 12, 2002, 03:48

I wonder if 1337 is just panag's DL (or vice-versa). They both seem to share the same almost-methodical disregard for organized language.

FrustratedPoet · August 12, 2002, 06:36

tut .. tut ... tut...

Never feed the trolls.

(or should that be "7r0115"?

Welcome back I-iz-1337!

I see that many here are giving you a hard time. Someone, Vel i think, stated that those who boast usually do so to compensate for some deficiency.

I will admit though, that I am amused at your posts. I do not feel threatened or irked by them. On the contrary I am entertained. I look forward to meeting you on the field of battle when PTW comes out. Perhaps you are indeed a worthy foe and many just don't realize it yet. Best of luck to you and happy gaming.

Hmm, what about MPP against elite dude?

Since me, as one nice "conscript" don't know to speak "elitish" language. So no way I would ally with him.

P.S.
Don't get me wrong. I do think that elite dude is realy good civ3 player.

But lack of diplomacy skills will be his downfall!

Objectivist · August 12, 2002, 13:24

What I would like to know is how your supose to keep up with the AI civs in terms of technology in deity. It seems to me that it is impossible to keep up with them early due to their decreased costs and that your best bet is to simply build up a big military and bully them. Is this right, or is there another way to keep technologically equal to the AI in deity?

Velociryx · August 12, 2002, 13:30

I've always had my best success by letting the AI do the heavy lifting. In the very early game, if you're fast, you can smash a couple AI's to hobble their their growth and keep yourself in tech. Once you grow your empire a bit, sell luxuries to stay in the game, and join wars of opportunity (basically, join in the inevitable gang bangs that occur), and you'll generally go far.

And, since we've got 1337's in our midst, I figured I needed some translation practice, so I give you an excerpt of the Gettysburg Address....

I could partialy translate Elite Dude's writings.
But this?

I'm puzzled.

Could someone explain something please,
can(do) you set up your keyboard to 'type' like this, or do you have to do a caps-shift thing the whole time

FrustratedPoet · August 12, 2002, 19:09

no caps-ing or shift-ing required. just lots of numbers ... lots and lots of numbers.

of course if you're really 1337 you cut out the letters completely.

Has anyone else actually looked at the SAV?

Brings to mind a new concept: mutual critiques. Anyone interested?

Here's the best I can come up with:

I am far too elite to be restricted by the boundaries of languages. My abilty to be "elite" comes solely from the skills that I have demonstrated in this thread... I am truly an elite computer hacker if the .SAV files can be proven false... I believe that you are, in fact, envious if you constantly attempt to degrade me.
As I said, you create these challenges. Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. I shall show you what I can do.

Hrm... still sounds arrogrant even in correct English.

Arrogant? Right on Edrix.

I'm curious of the language 'it' (sic) will be speaking when 'it' gets beaten and humilified in MP

Man, does he's got something to prove if he doesn't want to become the laughing clown of Apolyton later on.

Admittedly, I'm not "hep" to the 1337 "jive" (or whatever it is the kids are speaking today), but here's my best translation effort:

"I have extremely limited language skills, but by making up my own baffling rules for grammar and spelling, I can easily hide that fact. As I see it, eliteness comes from the fact that I say I have it. By saying that I would have to be a master hacker to have made up the save file, I can hopefully decrease your suspicions that I did in fact make the whole thing up. I have a serious inferiority complex, along with paranoid tendencies, and think you are all trying to prove you are better than I am."

"Therefore, by puffing myself up and issuing arrogant boasts and aggressive challenges, perhaps I can intimidate some of you into not questioning my self-proclaimed eliteness at all; nevertheless, I will solicit your game challenges anyway with the hope that I will ultimately prevail in the end. Secretly, though, I fear that you are in fact better than me and will tell it to the world after you beat me."

Forgiveness if I've not gotten that quite right, but it's the best I can do with such alien script.....

Sheik · August 13, 2002, 09:22

I looked at the save and would be interested to see I-iZ-1337 vs. Theseus.

By the way I-iZ-1337 everyone has seen better games then the one you posted. Now I am not that good at Civ3 but if you are really the best in the world then where is the game that won you the title? If you are going to brag then you should at least post something better than that.

yes, you are right, but look, look at words.
Admire their beauty, listen to the sound of them .
Words like "boundaries", or "envious"
ahhh, such poetry,doesn' it just oozes charm, history, richness.
In short : civilization

(p.s.: eugh, don't take this post too serious,ok .
please

)

sounds more like a duel than a challenge to me :b

Well, who's taking it up??

All right, dudes. I present to you the elite hacker's challenges. Tiny maps, Pangea, small landmasses. The elite Romans, on the elite Deity difficulty level, with randomized opponents. Conquer the world as fast as you can (all victory conditions will be allowed, but conquest will be the primary goal). There are no other rules; simply show "us" [don't know who he means by 'us'] your skills. I will compile the maps, as well, and post the .SAV files to prove my ability to be elite. Prove you can win without your elite mortals. [No idea what that sentence means]

I am willing to wager that no one will defeat my elite hacker times. [hacker times?]

You know, it's prossible he's just kidding about all of this. It probably is a DL, making fun of 1337 speak. I don't think that 1337 speak is recognized as intelligent ANYWHERE on the internet anymore, so he's probably just trying to get a rise out of us.

Velociryx · August 13, 2002, 13:33

And may I present, the Alamo Challenge. C'mon your 'leetness....it's only emperor and should be a stretch and a yawn, right? A 'leet hacker like yourself prolly wouldn't even break a sweat....give it a go....

In fact, since it'll be so impossibly, rediculously easy to win, let's do a world conquest with the Americans in the Alamo scenario....piece of cake, I'd imagine!

-=Vel=-
(Alamo thread bumped for your convenience, and I will download your game this weekend and give it a go).

alva · August 13, 2002, 14:18

I do know that L33t was banned from cfc a couple of months ago (used a different username back then pirate ??something IIRC)
So I don't think he is a DL.
btw:

whatever, who cares

This thread is getting hot though

DO NOT, I SAY, do not close this one
