Noble to Prince - unbearable

Obviously you didn't understand my question so I'll try again.
After reading this thread are you going to change some of your D to O ratios or are you going to continue to overbuild your defenses. This isn't a trick question. Every single person in this thread thought what you had was overkill. Has that changed your opinion or do you continue to hold to your original posts?

i'll say it again, i was 2nd weakest power that game prior to being invaded, i didnt have much was reckless having a weak army, what army i did have had drill. 1st, 2nd, 3rd power were furious with me, 2nd invaded, i built up massively, most of which got CG, later drill. that was a one time occurence as far as number of infantry and number that had CG.

i already knew bout drill, caught on to that early in vanilla. i built up heavily for a war that never came that game, otherwise my defenses wouldve been excellent, they were wasted til i went on the offensive tho. that was an overkill defense, my D units (ones with CG, average far fewer but i havent been that large in a few games, id like to put one CG per city) but other than that its either drill or melee units inside cities which i can mobilize when and if needed. i keep my stacks of mounted and siege near vulnerable points when i build up. as far as ratio for when i go warring, its almost completely attacks but with some defenders with either drill or CG for defending new cities. quite simply, if i have 30 cities, i'll have 30 CG D units and the rest with attacking promos and/or drill. i think this should answer your question.

stop your condescending attitude towards me, if what i post aint relevant to you then you have no business/reason replying to it, stop patronizing me

So now I can not respond to somebodies posts?

(you were bragging bout being a civ tester, dont deny that, i got your exact quote up there).

And you were bragging about your awesome defense, that you were a "pro", and other such stuff.
Your point?

and be polite and respectful in your replies, i'll do the same. if you insist on not complying then nor will i.

I don't use personal insults... why are you?

and stop assuming everything, you assume too much. your assumptions are in the quotes i provided. putting words in peoples mouth is annoying.

You too have made many assumptions... making assumptions is just something most people do, and it's not against the rules. And just because somebody is annoyed, it doesn't give them the right to resort to personal insults.

if you deem it irrelevant to yourself, that would make sense , you dont see me posting/replying to topics that arent relevant to me.

i said i wasnt bragging, and apologized to anyone that thought i was. if you act like a hypocrite, you'll be treated as such. you said yourself i shouldnt have bragged (even though i didnt, as i clarified that up already) but you did it yourself, your not following your own advice, if you wont follow your own word/advice no one will.

I don't use personal insults... why are you?

cuz of your condescending and patronizing attitude towards me, i wont stop insulting you til you do, your condescending and patronizing me is you insulting me. whether you agree or not, if you dont agree that i am not entitled to my own opinions on conduct to one another and word usage then your opinion of me calling you an idiot will just continue.

i have but i stop once ive been clarified, you on the other hand refuse to accept any clarification once you've made up your mind as noted on all the quotes i posted earlier and that you even admitted too. if you feel you can assume at will with no retaliation then expect me to assume whatever i want with you.

we will continue to go back and forth til you stop, if you keep repeating yourself i will too.

Yes it answers my question. You know it was overkill and will do differently in the future. That is what everyone was telling you. You shouldn't be so defensive. If you're not here to learn from others, (which is what most of us are here for) what's the point?

Marking this point for myself in the felgercarb. When I come back, here's where I need to start reading again.

/edit: I'm going to go read FARK for lunch today. Will be less nonsense.

if you deem it irrelevant to yourself, that would make sense , you dont see me posting/replying to topics that arent relevant to me.

In my opinion, the post you made was irrelevant to the discussion... and I said as such. Not against the rules.

i said i wasnt bragging, and apologized to anyone that thought i was. if you act like a hypocrite, you'll be treated as such. you said yourself i shouldnt have bragged (even though i didnt, as i clarified that up already) but you did it yourself, your not following your own advice, if you wont follow your own word/advice no one will.

It's not my advice... it's simply the rules. NO PERSONAL INSULTS. That is very clear in the rules. Have you read them yet?

cuz of your condescending and patronizing attitude towards me, i wont stop insulting you til you do, your condescending and patronizing me is you insulting me.

Condescending and patronizing are frankly not against the rules. If you perceive them as insulting, that's your opinion, but it still isn't against the rules. Your PERSONAL insults are against the rules.

whether you agree or not, if you dont agree that i am not entitled to my own opinions on conduct to one another and word usage then your opinion of me calling you an idiot will just continue.

I have no problem with your right to state an opinion. That's what we all do here, state opinions about civ related matters. But continuing to personally insult people is against the rules.

i have but i stop once ive been clarified, you on the other hand refuse to accept any clarification once you've made up your mind as noted on all the quotes i posted earlier and that you even admitted too. if you feel you can assume at will with no retaliation then expect me to assume whatever i want with you.

I don't accept your clarifications because I don't think they are right. It's just my opinion, and I have every right to have it. And if you don't like my assumptions, feel free to make your own assumptions. But you aren't allowed to make personal insults when you do so.

we will continue to go back and forth til you stop, if you keep repeating yourself i will too.

I don't care if you keep repeating yourself... But I do care if you keep making personal insults. That's not good for this community, and is against the rules established by this site.

people like ming thought thats how i played every game, when i tried to clarify it then, ming wanted no part of it. he kept attacking a strategy that he thought i had that never was. i must've tried to clarify that like 3 times now, i admit that last clarification was probably the best. i am here to learn, you know i am or should. i get defensive once im talked down too or when (im not gonna say it) a select few people neglect the clarifications and keep at it with faulty info and then dont stop, it gets annoying. but when someone patronizes me and then brags bout something after stating you shouldnt be bragging among other things they shouldnt have done, i felt like speaking my mind. i tried to squash it but it went unappreciated.

hey rah, did you ever start the game some of us have started? did you get it to load correctly?

if you keep adding fuel to the fire, it will never go out.

if you wont respect my opinions on things then i wont respect yours (even if they are the rules), if im being insulted then you will too, i'll just make another name, its that simple. you wont win this debate (war of the thick-headed's), as long as you continue, i will too. i'll insult however i feel like whenever you insult me, period. whether or not you state they are in the rules or not, i dont care. if you cant stop talking/insulting me then you deserve it right back.

[Ming]

You should read the rules of this site, or do you not care about the rules of this site?
What puts you above the rules?

I respect the right for people to have opinions, even if I disagree with them.
I will respect opinions if they are good ones.
I will not respect opinions if I think they are wrong.

I am not resorting to personal insults... you are.

Again, go read the rules. I respect this site and it's rules, why don't you?

nope, stop talking to me. betcha ya cant. i respect almost everyone here but you.

anyone that condescends or patronizes me will be on my chit list.

[Ming]

Gee... you won't respect this site by reading the rules and following them?
That might put you on the owners "Chit List"

And frankly the opinions we have of each other is irrelevent. What is relevent is following the site rules.

i knew you couldnt stop talking to me , whatever it is you are trying to accomplish will never happen. if you wish this all to end, stop talking to me. as far as rules go, i follow them. but with you they are out the window for reasons already stated.

[rah]

I almost did last weekend but for some reason the Warlord strat game tempted me more. I'm not a fan of marathon or huge maps so the combination sounded like more of a chore so I went warlord strat. Maybe this weekend.

You are the one trying to make it a game of stop talking... why, is that important to you?

But you aren't following the rules... and just because of your opinion of me, that's no excuse for breaking them. By saying the rules are out the window, you are disrespecting the Owners of this site, not me. Is that really your wish. Do you care so little about his community that you will piss all over the rules established by this site?

You have no good reason for breaking the rules. Please point out the rule I broke... oh, that's right, you can't even show the site the respect to read them in the first place.
