To Chairman Mao

[Mao]

Hehe, hi, what's up? Ming's already suspected us of being DLs, but he knows we're not. But I was hoping we could play a little joke on the OTFers (Off-Topic posters). If you're game, you can find my AIM, e-mail, and ICQ # in my profile. C'mon, it'll be fun

[Mao]

What outcry? All I remember was some 12-year old getting flamed for his age

Anyway, it's your choice Chairman, some people might get mad, but it doesn't matter, it's only the internet right?

[Ming]

What outcry?
Well, how about multiple threads in multiple forums with over half the people DEMANDING that he change his name, or that the Admin make him do it. Yes, there was "one" flaming case, but there was far more complaining and demanding than just him.

So come on, stop by the OTF Chairman...

This is former-Chairman Mao speaking.

**To Ming: please close the Chairman Mao account when you get the chance.

I breezed through the forums really quickly to find any trace of "Mao" but didn't see any at first glance. I didn't mean to come up with a Username so similar to somebody else's because I know it can get confusing.

I also don't want people to get all offended. I feel like my personality while playing Civ is most similar to Mao, that's why I chose it. Though I must confess I am a pro-democratic, pro-capitalist white American...to clear up any concerns you might have concerning my character. I do not endorse Mao or any of his actions outside of the Civ games.

Disclaimer: I apologize if the name "HAL" offends anyone who did not enjoy 2001: A Space Odyssey, or feel threatened that a maniacal supercomputer may one day control their life.

[Mao]

Yeah, c'mon Chairman, why not? Besides, they'll all think you're a DL anyway. Just have a bit of fun, and then you can leave.

[Mao]

NOOOOOOOOOOO C'mon! Let's have some fun! Please?

[Ming]

I think you have made a wise choice HAL...

I will close your other account so nobody else can register with that name.

Welcome to Apolyton.

Yeah, just what we need on the OTF... More Fun

Mao... I noticed you didn't warn him about the reaction his name might cause there.
While you have always gotten off the hook by saying Mao is a common name, Chairman Mao may just raise the same out cry that Albert Speers caused

[Caesar the Great]

NO?!?! The civ2 forums have been invaded by the *gasp* spammers

[Mao]

Uhhh...CtG, you realize that you complaining about other people's spam actually makes more spam than the original spammers. That's like someone in the movies screaming out "SHUT UP!" to everyone else. They make more noise. And I've been here longer than you anyway, nothing new.

[Ming]

And Mao... I've been here longer than you

[Mao]

...and that's why you have like 8000 posts

[Neon Deon]

Well I guess i wont change my name to Idi Amin.

[adaMada]

Should I respond to this…

Let me think…

All I can say is that I wish that the Albert Spear had gone so well . Actually, I didn't know that Chairman Mao even existed before reading this forum. (sorry HAL)

Geez Adam, you sound like an old hag. Just let people have some fun, live and let live geez. You know what, you probably don't know the first thing about Chairman Mao anyway. All you know is what the western media teaches you, like the Cultural Revolution. But what you don't know is how he actually improved the lives of peasants greatly, but no, you don't care about that do you? As long it's good for America, you don't give a damn about how much Mao helped the Chinese people, you only care whether or not he's an enemy of the US. And who else do you want to lead China? Chiang Kai-Shek? Yeah, OK, maybe you should read up a bit on his government. Corruption as far as the eye can see. It's not a coincidence Mao had the support of majority in taking power and Chiang was hated by the commoners for making an elite upper class.
