Unsinkable Trireme

[DrSpike]

Edit: Crap wrong thread.

Edit2: Yeah part of any MP game is building up a list of players you can trust.

[War4ever]

so true, i use icq for my lists......its very easy, but man my list used to be long....its been whittled down now thts for sure.

[Red Guys]

And as Hawk has said we dont all cheat on the zone.

[DrSpike]

Guys rhymes with Eyes.......Guys defends the Zone.......you do the math.

[ColdWizard]

Eyes would think of a better name than that.... then again he did use quick acorn....

[Red Guys]

No you are all wrong. Heres a clue:When you are playing the game,who are the RED GUYS?

[DrSpike]

So you're a barbarian? Neat.

[Red Guys]

The Barbarian

[rah]

Or The Eyes.

[War4ever]

or some sort of spies

Though I appreciate the apolytoner's call on labelling the trireme cheat a cheat, I resent all the belittling and malicious characterization of zoners. The typical jab here seems to be that anything that's played out of the 2x1x or 1x1x setting is "non-strategic," "tasteless," and "not-worth-our-time," and any civ players who float here from the zone are immediately looked on with suspicion.

This is totally elitist and closed-minded, not to mention without cause. The way apolytoners are looked on by the others should shed some light on what they really are: A chest thumping, closed-minded, elitist bunch who believe themselves to be the hot shots in every aspect of the game, its settings, and anything else that is even remotely related to the game. It's no wonder that the regulars here have amassed deity levels for posting 100's of replies. The place is kind of like cheers for them. This is a place where everybody knows your name, and in this little world, people glow in self-importance. Sad. Sad.

I just assume everyone at the zone cheats. I was playing someone there this week and getting lag when I was hosting, lol!

That was me you were playing.

I am sorry that you were having problems with your computer that day.

Spartan...... i think many of the players here just don't like x2x2 civ as it makes for a horsie battle in so many games.....

many people like to drag civ out over 10 sessions before attacking

i have played all settings and although x1x1 deity is my favorite, i don't play it all that often.

my least favorite is x2x2 of course......but thats just my prefs.

the zones bad rep comes from so many quitters over the years, i am sure if some of these guys put in the time , they too would develop a core of good x2x2 players who don't cheat or quit.

origionally i was a zoner,way back late 98 and part of 99..... i don't play there much b/c 90% of the games are x2x2 king.....which just doesn't appeal to me very often....... but when it does, i know where to find a good game

as for the rest of the heathen here, i can't speak for them

Well Spartan_RawB... I think many of us have a problem with the zone because of the quiters. I know in our group, half the players don't drop out in the first few years if they get off to a bad start. Granted, some of your groups don't do that... but the average experience for most at the zone is that people drop quickly if they don't like the game

And like War, I'm also not a big fan of 2x2x games...
But that's just a matter of taste.

The lag problem has continued since that game - maybe my CD is wearing out
