Anyone on right now?

[Narz]

So Sunshine, how is it? Will you play me or are you a coward? I already agreed to play you on your primative settings (small world, 2x2). You have no excuses. You failed to respond to my PM and now you seem to be evading me altogether... Whats up?

i'll play ya 2x2 king small if ya like Narz..... ICQ me i'll be on all day

Well, he lost both games, and I have to say I have never seen anyone so bad at the game before. This guy is a complete joke. He's never played a game without AI before. Don't waste your time on him.

[Narz]

I played Sunshine. I lost. I will be honest. I have no one to blame but myself. I sacrificed my standards to play a primitive 2x2 game on a tiny map and then because of my bitterness and need for revenge I let him dictate the rules governing the 2nd game as well. I did have bad luck both games, no settlers or cities from huts or any starting tech, but still I lost, no excuses.

I should warn other gamers however that Sunshine is an extremely obnoxious and abusive opponent, constantly swearing and using such imaginative insults as "idiot" and "stupid". One such line when I told him of my lag (which I rarely have with other opponents) "You are so f***ing stupid, the host can't have lag!". Sunshine seemed to have alot of knowledge that actually was false (I actually did have lag), but as with most arrogant people, Sunshine did not let the facts get in the way of his opinions. He also constantly belittled the CivFanatics site and its users, saying the only true way to play was on a tiny map 2x2 with no other Civs, this was the "ladder" way, anyway who played otherwise was a "rook".

I present another challange to the player who can "beat me under any settings".

King, 1x1, barbs - villages or roving
Large map
Small land mass
Contients
all other settings doesn't matter to me

and the kicker for you Sunshine : no huts.

This will change your statagy of madly hunting for free cities and military hoping to quickly find your opponent with your 4 moves per turn horse, madly poping all huts along the way. This is a very primative and quite dull way to play, insulting the game itself. Its like playing a 3 minute chess game where the first 6 moves are detirmined by rolls of the die. I doubt you will be up for the challange, probably offering some lame excuse such as : "I don't have time for f***ing rookies like you". But its doubtful that is a true statement. Its doubtful someone as arrogant and obnoxious as yourself would have many friends with which to spend your time...

Need I say more? ANd you sound alot like Nicosar.

I just love when people whine about the settings THEY AGREE TO PLAY TO. If you agree to play with specific settings, don't even bother to use them as excuse later after you lose. If you don't like the settings... DON'T PLAY THEM... and if you do, DON'T WHINE ABOUT THEM.

It seems like the "settings" are now the second biggest excuse for lossing, right after "bad" luck... HA HA HA HA
I guess there is no skill in playing civ

[Makeo]

Hope off your high horse Ming. He admitted he lost, and fine he did whine about the settings a bit, but i've noticed you being very unfriendly to new people in our forum.

[DrSpike]

To be fair some newcomers ask for a bashing by loudly proclaiming their excellence then failing to come even close.........but I agree we should welcome additions to the posters here.

[Hydey]

Yes leave him alone Ming, not everyone can be as good as Rasputin and beat the mighty EON figjam.

[Chris 62]

I see Eyes made short work of Narz, as expected.

[HappySunShine]

Ban Makeo Ming.

Ming, you are absoultely right, I should not have been so cocky myself and agreed to play on such ridiculous settings.

My intent with this thread was to gather others for a game, I got caught up in a pride war and allowed myself to be pulled into unfamiliar territory, like a sap who gets caught up in a game of three card monty.

But rather than fight and further tarnish my good name I again restate my challange from the first page. 1x1, large map, small land mass, continents, king or emp. difficulty, barb level=villages or roving bands. Climate and age (of planet) are not particularly important to me.

As for AI I am flexable. Personally I think having AI makes the game more interesting but I suppose for a purist, the AI is a distraction. I admit the AI's ability to be manipulated and demanded tribute from can give an advantage to the person who meets them first but frankly, Civ II is not the best one on one game and the AI's presense, to me, enrichs the game. Still, I am flexable on this issue.

Since we'll be playing on a larger map huts should not be a problem. Personally I think they take away from the game though. I've played MP games where I've wiped out a hapless opponent (whose Warriors wandered away from the capital) with a hut-found-horse (on 2x2) and it didn't give me much satisfaction.

So, my question is, are there any out there who are willing to play with my settings?

I'm unfriendly to all jerks who come here and announce how none of us play the "true" game, and how they are masters... and blah blah blah...

I was indeed giving Narz grief for agreeing to playing on those settings... But at least he has proved in other games that he has a clue... unlike the Other guy I have been Unfriendly too because of his attitude and no skill to back it up
