if they release a patch, i will play that. I am in this for the strategy, and the empire building "feeling" not for a simulation of warfare, or of democracy. cuz to ask for nething else would be hypocritical as a real simulation would be no fun wutsoever. ur harping on points that are moot in civ3's world. like vel sed, its not civ2, and u hate that. somewhere along the line realism and "its not like civ2" became synonymous. |
Rather than go on an in-depth analysis of your idiocy, I thought I'd rather bold some of the more "special" parts of your well articulated response.

let me say it again, since no one seems to be getting it.
There is a lot of flaming going on here. To be honest, that's just not cool. We're all here as mutual fans of a game. If we can't express our opinions politely, with respect for the other opinions here, then why express them at all? Why put good hours into apolyton? And, even more, why expect the other side to respect your opinion? This seems to be the basic failing of everyone (both sides) in this argument.
I take a very middle line view -- yes, some stuff needs to be fixed. No, slamming everyone else into the dirt will not help. No, the game is not perfect. No, the game is not a failure (yet). Yes, I have hopes for a patch that will fix some stuff. No, I don't think I'm going to go hire an assassin and kill someone. No, I don't think that complaining (a bit) is out of place. Yes, I do think that the hundreds of flame-threads are getting out of hand. Yes, this is starting to make me enjoy Apolyton less.
I think we have all lost grasp of something -- these forms are for discussion of the game. If you go over to the strategy forums, you'll find a lot of people just talking about the game -- not what the game should be, or why the world is messed up, or why we don't all dance on our heads and sing with joy -- I think that the entire forums should be more like this.
I don't plan on taking sides in this issue. To be honest, I've got better things to spend my time on. There is one person who I do think, however, gets the tip of my hat -- Vel, as every one of his posts has been consistently non-aggressive. No matter what he's been saying, his posts have not been angry-sounding, aggressive, or a personal attack. This I admire. As so many people are attacking him I appreciate his restraint, and commend it. Before anyone starts to flame ME let me restate something -- I commend Vel for his non-aggressive and easygoing stance, not for what he's saying. To be honest, I don't care about what he's saying, I just want to acknowledge his relative restraint.
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING: There are only two names in this thread. That is my name, and Vel's name. Therefore I don't expect to be slammed for attacking ANYONE, as I did not attack myself, and I did not attack Vel, and did not allude to some mysterious third party. As we're all rational people here, I trust everyone to understand this.
My two bits... Cheers and happy civving (or gaming, if you will) to all!

U ARE WORSE THAN POLITICIANS, I GET CALLED LYING FOR A POST CONSISTED ENTIRELY OF ME GIVING MY OPINION.

Would any of the civ3 defenders mind if I use this yavoon fellow to generalize your arguments?

 Thanks guy! Glad you got a laugh or two out of it before the thread went to...heck...lol
I'm just sorry it wasn't appreciated by all....the majority, it seems, but not all.
As to my restraint...hey....the fact is, at the end of the day, I consider most of the people who post here to be my buds. And on the O.T., n.c. and I have a pretty long history of fighting on the same side of most battles and I consider him a friend. In debates where we've been on the same side, I've felt *completely* at ease and confident with trusty n.c. watching my back, and I hope he has the same impression of me.
In any case, I'm not inclined to flame anybody here, even if we disagree, and even if those disagreements begin to take on the overtones of a personal attack because I value those friendships....besides, there are more than enough people here and IRL who would love the opportunity to burn me at the stake, so I can vent my frustrationsn in their general direction....
Of course, like everybody, I guess I do have my limits, so I prolly should say I've never flamed, or never would....but as a general rule...nahhh....I've got fairly thick skin.
