I would also like to point out that Yin started getting optimistic just before Firaxis started releasing info. Coincidence?

Great, now that we all know who Yin/Sid is, we won't hear anything from Firaxis or Yin/Sid again! Sid, please don't stop posting here just because we know who you are! It's just no we don't have to get as mad at you for being pessimistic as before!!

You all know this is just a plot by yin, right?

I'm just looking back at some of Yin/Sid posts. It is amazing how they read when you know who it is!

quote: Yes. I think they look cluttered and totally unfinished as of yet. They also look amateurish still. However, I have confidence those were alpha builds, and I was the first person to shout: ALPHA GRAPHIC PLACEHOLDERS, as I'm sure you'll remember but most people forgot or never saw. Pay attention there, Splangy.

Yeah, or this one:

quote: SerapisIV: Actually, they said nearly half of their people are on Sim Golf!!! Of course, Maxis is apparently giving "ideas" and "guidance." Amazing. The first time Sid has ever put his name on a game he didn't actually create...wait a minute... Anyway, yes, the entire look and layout of the game yells SIMIFIED. Hey, I just realized. It's not Sid Meier anymore. It's: Sim Meier. And it's no longer Firaxis. It's: Fir(M)axis.

When was the last time Yin posted since this astounishing profoundment occured?

No, I'm just joking. Give Yin a break. Without Yin this forum would be dead. Yin is the savior of this forum.

Yeah right. If Yin wasn't here, we might actually have meaningful discussions.

Seriously, though, Yin was too pessimistic before. I think he's gone over the deep end (as shown by his confused optimism)

Favorite Yin/Sid quotes:

quote: 29-07-2001 05:49 Mike: Your visits are appreciated. I know you can't single-handedly let us in on all the stuff we want to know, but it's cool you dropped by at least. Good luck with Civ 3.

quote: 29-07-2001 03:40 quote: Your battle against a companies PR department is not going to do anything. Obviously I disagree. A PR department (a good one anyway, so maybe you have a point regarding Firaxis) WILL guage how their 'carefully crafted words' are doing with the public. I want to make it damn clear to ANY Firaxis person comes in here that their PR is horrid and insulting. So, they can keep up the same PR or change. Of course, to keep it going the same would be to so doing realizing more than a few fans can see right though the garbage. Silence, however, WOULD help perpetuate this crap. This is why I particularly find funny the motto the "Realists" seem to like so much, which is basically: "IF we can't fix it, it ain't a problem." Well, feel free to bury your heads thinking you can't make a difference. You are obviously resigned to playing any slop thrown at you, and there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself, I suppose. Too bad you'll be helping drag down the rest of us who have much higher expectations.

I play civ and I have a job.

And rallyK, good quotes, ditto tniem and sits (say that ten times fast, I dare ya). Personally I have great difficulty in believing the lead designer of a major game would pull such a ... deceitful stunt, but maybe I'm too gullible.

But then again, why would yin do this? He said he wouldn't post much (spam isn't an issue)...hmm. Scary stuff.

I would have asked that

But then maybe it's because Sid just learned how to spell disney for a couple of days ago and always thought it was spelled disniy

Also this could also just mean that Yin just thought about this a couple of days ago and just wanted to make fun od us!?!
