He should be unblocked by now right ? wonder if he's gonna bother coming back

I should say that the human brain is a massive neural net, thus it "learns" how to play SMAC by perceiving patterns. If a guy, blockhead or not, starts playing outside these normal patterns it doesn't mean that he's a bad SMAC player. His brain just works in a different way.

Look, the reason he gets made fun of isn't because of the lameness of his SMAC mastery, but the incredible combination of rudeness and stupidity with which he purports his insupportable opinions. Being wrong is forgivable, being a jerk is tolerable, but being both is just too much.

Nope-- the word from Ming was that all he had to do was indicate he would stop with the insults. Apparently he refused and got righteous with MIng since Ming sent him a personal message when blockhead had the feature turned off or something.


OH and ceoaaron has it right. I know I am often wrong but I try never to be a jerk about it. The hate roads thread was funny . . . I only wish we could have played the game

He had the chance to show that his different approach is successful. But some people start attacking reality (or gameplay, for that matter) if it doesn't adapt to their brain ...

I believe the blurb for the Bioenhancement Center would respond to your post, Adalbertus.

Forgive my ignorance, but who or what is blockhead?

I originally posted this in another Thread - (People plant their bases too early! (I am the best SMAC player)), but since I think it may help to understand who Blockhead was I'll repeat it here:


Vev's not really serious. He is doing a parody of a poster [Blockhead] in another Thread who, before his [Blockhead's] suspension from Apolyton, was either pretending to or was actually experiencing symptoms, best explained by the medical text DSM IV.
