I've tried to sign in twice over the past week but they seem to want me to agree to let them spam me before they'll register me. This I will not do.

Also, my old account doesn't seem to work. Damned annoying. Microsoft shoots itself in the foot once again.

The pot calling the kettle black !!!

For that .net crap you can just make up a false email address as long as you don't forget your password. I've done it plenty of times.

Alexander, contrary to popular belief, there's not much spamming at the zone. Sure there is that, "Click here for the best casino online!" crap, but after that, it's a smooth ride the zone room. Little price to pay, I'd say.

I see your name in the polyton forums, but I've never had the pleasure of playing you. Dare I issue a challenge? Come to zone and we'll play a game.

i never know when i'll be free to play except when i'm actually free

[ColdWizard]

hmmm, i wonder what reasons are behind the underwhelming number of responses from regular Apolyton MPers

could it be that they knowingly or unknowingly look down on Zoners?
is it some sort of hatred of microsoft?
is it too much trouble to bother signing up?
are they old and inflexible in their ways?

More like, If it ain't broke don't fix it.
I'm very happy with the setup that we have for Friday's and Saturday's. Only one night in the last six month's we didn't get a game going. And I appreciate that we are familiar and like the people we play with. (even when you play )

But yes, too old and inflexible comes the closest.

(even when you play )

damn, i'll have to try to be more annoying then, rush wonders a little faster, kill more units, destroy more cities, revolt efficiently...



i need post-it notes to stick around the edges of my screen

*scribbles on post-it: "remember to revolt, stupid", "3850", "3650", "3450"*

[War4ever]

hehehe the revolt...last week i had it by 2450 and forgot until 2050....needless to say it was a nightmare.....

[Spartan_RawB]

Well, as of late, I see a lot more traffic in the zone. New ppl are dropping by, and I don't know if it's because of this invitation, but some have told me that they have dropped by after seeing this post. I'm trying to educate them the best I could about some in-game subtleties and try to get them interested in such concepts as tribe play.

Keep 'em coming, life in the zone was a sightly sight to see.

[Flatlander Fox]

My problem with the zone is this:

I am playing a very tight duel and I am slightly ahead...

I have most of the happy wonders, and this guy squeezes me on JS Bachs, so I go ahead and build the GW and start celebrating my a$$ off some more.

After I get Shakes, he drops. Disappears. I waited for twenty minutes for him to come back.



If I see him again I'll strangle him. Or I just won't play him anymore.

This is a common occurence there, and it really pisses me off when I invest 4 hrs. in a game and the bastard drops on me.

I'll get him someday.

You might want to start playing league then :

Leaguegames tend to have a higher finish ratio, every player currently playing there wont give a game unless they have absolutely no chance to win.

[Kuja]

what was the guys name fox? most ppl on the zone don't quit contrary to popular belief. if you need to know who the quitters are, just ask me. my zone name is Kuja_Returns. and atawa is right, playing in a league means that ppl are less inclined to quit on a game, maybe you should consider it.

oh by the way, i just played a game with prometheus tonight. good to see him on the zone. hope to see some more of you guys there.
