With all due respect to the good times and bad I've had with this team, lately the bad have been getting higher and higher and the good fewer and far between.
I think Apolyton is without question the best team in the Demogame biz, and I truly do not yet have an answer for how I am to lead a team against them in the CISDG.
Having said that, however - I am withdrawing from this team at this time. I made a promise to myself back when Everquest nearly ruined my life that if I ever started playing something - or participating in something - out of a feeling of commitment and nothing else, and it stayed that way for a period of time, that I would walk away from it.
Well guys, here's my walking papers.
There are a lot of very intelligent civ players on this team; unfortunately, one problem with so many very good Civ players that have slightly different perspectives is that they don't always see eye to eye, and everyone is absolutely certain they're right.
Here's a tip: participation in this game might be higher if the infighting was less than the outfighting. It's a game, guys. And while some of the members don't mind reading week after week of Bigfree vs whoever, or FAM vs whoever, or even Trip vs NYE, some of us do.
Was it really worth trading ten posts back and forth, full of underlying seething anger because someone made a suggestion to CFC? Is it THAT important? Has CFC never backed out on anything they've suggested? Sure, we didn't like it much, but we got over it.
I realize I kicked up a pretty good fuss myself not too long ago, but for me that's one more symptom of the problem: when it stops being fun and laughable and so serious that I want to kick up a good fuss, something's wrong.
Sorry guys, but this is becoming less game and more job, just reading through it.
Good luck. Smash GCA's splinters to dust, and ram one straight up GWT's arse for me.... but I don't think I want to be here to see you smash each other to dust and ram it up each other's arse to do it.
Adieu.

Well, F-P, I hope you reconsider. If my posts are what you're going on, then you are mistaken about anger. I do not mince words, usually, and sometimes what I post can come off as sharper than what I intend.
Be that as it may, a situation that is far from optimal has come up. If Apolyton is any good at all, it is because we do not usually make such mistakes (mistake IMO). When we do make one, then yes, there will be some disturbance over it.
There will be conflicts in situations such as these. You may be misled by the atmosphere in GS. That is an exceedingly collegial environment. It is an exception to the rule as far as I have seen from other demo games.
So, if you wish to leave, we cannot keep you. However, I would urge you to reconsider. This team has gotten along very well for the most part. The odd scuffle should not define the experience for you, or anyone else. If it does, that is a shame.
You have my best wishes, whatever you decide to do.

We'll miss you FP.
If I was leaving I would stick around a day or two to 1. Read the comments in this thread, and 2. Make sure if that is what I really wanted to do.
