An intellectual's review

[Wiglaf]

As far as I can tell, the only difference between Kuciwalker and Wiglaf is that the former sometimes tries to explain his hostility.

I have to admit this is also hilarious.

Also, Wiglaf is Canadian. You forgot that part.

What the **** I have never had anything to do with Canada. I can understand the confusion because I have been to Canada once and get this, I met only men my entire time in the country. I did not see more than five females the entire time I was there, only men and their poodles (I use poodles to generally refer to any small domesticated animal that responds to petting, which is for the record far more scientifically accurate than calling Civ a macroeconomic simulator). My vision is bad but I am concerned for Canada's future.

I guess some people didn't take my warning very seirously...

DISCUSS THE TOPIC... NOT THE POSTERS... there will be no further warnings... just restrictions!

[Kuciwalker]

Does that mean I have to stop calling Wiglaf Canadian?

Is that discussing the topic, or a poster... you make the call... and if you are wrong, you are toast.

Kuciwalker, of your many confusions, on this point you seem to be mistaking "player" for "actor." Civilization simplifies economic actors with a curved model of population. While a size 10 city is more than double the population of a size 5 city, all other things being equal, a size 10 city essentially has twice as many "units" of people power with which to generate productivity. However, what it is simulating is the behavior of those people. The player is not the simulation. Implicit in your assertion is that elementary error.

Actually, we do know everything, old people just forget a bunch of stuff 'cause you're all senile...

I started this whole thing out thinking you might have a point. But the more I've read, the more it seems like Kuciwalker is right and you aren't reading his posts.

The last one he made to you was quite clear that he agreed with you about the "player" vs "actor" issue - it was Snoopy that was using them differently. I'm struggling to see a way that you could have confused that fact.

What Bhruic said.

I'm not the one who imported the term "microeconomic" to this discussion. Either Kuciwalker did no such thing, his purpose here is simply to lie and mislead, or he did in fact make the argument I asserted that he has made. Am I missing something in that assessment?

The term microeconomic was never introduced into our discussion, as far as I can tell. It was introduced into my separate discussion with Snoopy, which has no bearing on the validity of your original assertion (since he uses a definition of simulation you just claimed 4 posts up to disagree with).

Either Kuciwalker did no such thing, his purpose here is simply to lie and mislead, or he did in fact make the argument I asserted that he has made. Am I missing something in that assessment?

Yes. Ming's post just 7 above yours.

Neither is Kuciwalker, if that's relevant. The first person to mention microeconomics was Wiglaf.

What you quoted was a statement that Kuciwalker made to snoopy369. If you read the context of that discussion it's pretty clear that Kuci actually agrees with your position with regards to the "player" vs "actor" argument. Where you differ is in the realm of simulation accuracy (a not entirely accurate description, but a short one).

In other words, you have, at the least, misinterpreted his position.
