I'm only responding to this because it made me laugh pretty hard.

Lib was banned for a week ... that is why the volume seems lower. Don't worry, he is due to return very soon.

Really, he is the last person you want to pull out the tired old "Stop Posting and Get a Real Life" argument for, N. Machiavelli. Last time I checked he had like 11 posts per day.

Just found this ironic.

I guess you're probably like that in person too, making light of someone else's problems. You're like that guy who walks into a funeral parlor and starts making 'death jokes'. First, you're not funny. Second instead of 'hijacking' threads with nonsense -- why don't you try helping our situation here -- we already know about the NDA crap and the fact that the company is within certain rights to ignore it's consumers when it comes to development details. Did you think that you might be some kind of saint or scholar by reminding us? Or perhaps it's a superiority complex. Either way, you're not helping the situation, and you're definately not looking any smarter than you did 3 posts ago.

Charles.

I applaud all calls on Firaxis to release a new patch containing valuable updates. IMHO, unceasing complaining and attacks are not going to further that goal. I think that constructive suggestions, statements of relative priority, or attempts at developing a consensus of customer input on a particular topic would be much better. I fear that intense complaining will quite possibly induce a smaller rushed patch, reducing the chance that game-enhancing additions will be included. No company can afford an endless stream of free enhancements, so the more that are included in this next patch the better. I'd rather wait a little longer for great patch, then see a lesser patch more quickly. The next patch may be the last patch afterall. Just my two scents. ("Eeeeew", and "light a match" )


I agree -- my posts are more meaningless then they are productive, but I'm not doing it for popularity or attention I'm doing it because I'm pissed off. In the least -- I can influence the people who share my grief on the matter. Sadly, I'm still in my 'venting' stage, it usually takes me a while to calm down -- and the greater the disapointment the longer it takes. I too would rather have them spend 'more time' on the patch or expansion than rush it and ruin it. However I would still like to know what features they plan on incorporating. But I don't anticipate that they'll spare me of that misery. Argos made me see the light.

Fear not sir NATO, I was merely pointing out that sometimes the outside world can interfere with our 'quality time' on the board, regardless of how frequent we otherwise would post. It wasn't meant to be a barb or anything.

I hear good things about it; reviews are high. The PR sucks it's unlikely those in charge are likely to release a patch any time soon. Though I hear it from a reasonible source that they will be charging us with a DEATH expansion pack that may or may not give us what we expected in the original for extra cost....

Money-grubbing capitalist pigs.

Thanks. I nearly clawed my eyes out after I read this post - the only way I could stop myself was by hacking my arms off at the elbow. Now I'm typing with the stumps and will probably pass out from the loss of blood at any moment.

Someone who's been filling this board with the amount of diarrhea you have probably shouldn't go around telling others what giant asses they've made of themselves. After all, the only reason YOU don't look any stupider than you did 3 posts ago is because you hit absolute zero after the third page.

It's been a long reading, mostly a waste of time reading this...

Does anyone knows who the BETA testers are? Maybe we could get some information out of them!

Mark, how about asking FIRAXIS for a chat? It's been awhile and there is a need for info from certain people.

It's really easy to find posts from firaxis, just do a search for post where name contains FIRAXIS.

What an enlightening post. Judging by what you wrote you're a fanboy troll with no arms, no legs and obviously no life. Sad to hear it. Next time maybe you can write something that applies to the situation at hand, rather than clan together with the numerous other idiots that reply to my posts with little or no perpose or meaning but to bi+ch and complain about how much it hurts their little eyes to read my criticism. Assuming you have eyes still.

Charles, may be because it's not criticism, but just polemic, ranting and overestimating your own position? Tell me please, how big is your ego? It has never been a good culture of argument, to call disagreeing people "fanboy trolls", "idiots" and similar. And if that is, what you call "intelligent", oh dear!

PS: Would you be so kind to tell me, what the words "definately" and "perpose" mean? I am not a native English speaker and could not find them in my dictionary.
