Post deleted, was generally tasteless and none of my business

MWIA,
Please go to CGN (civgaming.net) and PM Buster about joining the Drones. CGN is where the Drones forum is. We don't really use the forum here on Poly.

I kinda think MWIA is making a point that the Drones make little or minimal contribution to the RP part of this forum. They tend to contribute on points of 'fact', rather than, in place of (serious/humourous) debating points.

[jtsisyoda]

I'm completely confused now. Maybe I'll just go find a hole and hide and not post for a while.

[MrWhereItsAt]

CGN? Ah crap - I'd prefer not to leave Poly, where possible. So are you saying I need to revise my idea on which faction would be nice to join? I REALLY don't want to join the one with the most citizens (Hive), and I always play as the Uni or CyCon, so I'd have preferred to see the tactics for a different faction for once.

And Herc - I wasn't actually. I just wanted to learn how to use the Drones well, and thought that joining the team would help. But thanks for crediting me with far more sarcastic wit than I possess.

MWIA: Well, here are some stats I gather off the top of my head:

Activity:

1. Hive
2. CyCon
3. Pirates
4. Drones
5. Uni

RPing:
1. Hive
2. CyCon
really distant 3. Pirates
4. Uni
5. Drones

Spam Factor

1. CyCon
2. Hive
3. Pirates
4. Drones
5. Uni

For you, I'd suggest CyCon.

Thank you to all the people who've emailed me in support of my position. Especially the faction leaders.

Tass, I'm not even going to give your PM a response. I've said my peace. I see no reason why you need any sort of access to our forums, and I will leave if you get yourself authorised. There is nothing more to discuss.

Likewise, I would like to thank the faction leaders and members whom have given me support as well

And I still see no reason why you could not stay. If it would impair your enjoyment to the point where you would leave the game, then I will drop the issue and request to not be authorized into the PUT forums.

[Archaic]

You having anything to do with the organisation of the game has already ruined much of my enjoyment of it. It is hard to have a fun game when one of the people supposedly moderating it has shown himself time and time again to not be worthy of any trust.

[jtsisyoda]

Tass, you forgot this ranking:

Kicking a*@ and taking names:
1. Drones
2-5. Hive/Uni/CyCon/Pirates (tie)

And the Pirates are my favorite RPer's. "Up yours, Wire-wing!" -JDM

MWIA,
Unlike IRL, you can be in two places/forums at once. Try it, you'll like it. And I joined the Drones for the same reason you mentioned. I don't regret it.

[Nubclear]

I hope the drones will forgive me

Looking at the spam ranking for CyCon, what are you suggesting about me?

Cheers Tass - this may turn out to be one of the most useful posts in this thread.

I really don't want to leave Poly, so unless the Drones actually authorise me here, I'll likely just try my luck with another team.

[jtsisyoda]

Well, MWIA, if you were authorized in the Poly Drone forum, it wouldn't help, because all of our discussion is on CGN. If it's that much of an obstacle to you, go ahead and pick another faction. As long as you don't mind losing, that is.

It's not about leaving 'Poly at all - it's about adding another rich source of information and enjoyment surrounding this remarkable game called SMAC

If you look at my own post count at 'Poly, you see that I am a very active member here ...... but also at the Civgaming, and ACOL, Forums and even an ocasional visitor to the Civ Org and Arborwood Forums
