Sorry mate, I don't understand your vocabulary.

Or is that just another +1?

Thank you all for your feedback.

Ljube, that is a very measured response and I agree with most of it. You are probably right at the end and my only excuse, not explanation, but excuse, is that I did and do feel hurt by things that were said and also about things said about the Bards. Thanks for the feedback.

Aqualung, thank you also. You are not privy to all the inputs that I have had, and it probably would not make any difference.

Chrisius, I would like to placate you also. I just don't know how. I just can hope for some understanding, and if that isn't there, tolerance.

Thanks for your responses, they were actually surprisingly restrained.

Indeed.

Good Bye to the Bards. Thanks for the experience. I shall hear your haunting melodies always.

Victory with graciousness

Thanks, I was beginning to think that was no longer a possibility at Apoly

Indeed they didn't. Nor our conversion to Christianity.

However, we be Christians, converted to the right religion by Jesus of Antioch during the siege of that city. That was one of the reasons that siege was abandoned.

Hulagu Khan (you can read more on him in Wikipedia) had a powerful mother that was a Nestorican Christian.

Euphorica has been self supporting untill the end. We gave more than we received. So be it.

The extrapolation that was applied here, is again based on false assumptions, for truth, again, is not what some want to see.

Reality is stated as being the way things are, but everybody has a different point of view. Some make an effort to broaden their perspective and come to understand more. Some remain to be short sighted.

There's no wrong or right in that. I have once been deeply impressed by seeing a perfectly happy, poor Peruvian farmer. His poorness was my point of view, he considered himself rich. It was I who had to travel halfway around the world, who suffered the poorness, as I could not be satified by remaining in my small ecosystem. What works for him doesn't necesarily work for me and the other way around.

There is however a right and wrong on judging and taking actions based on an arrogant state of mind considering your point of view the perfect point of view/ truth and not looking beyond that window.

Enjoy your games. I choose not to participate in any other team. I have a dfferent point of view on how (team) games are played. This doesn't work for me.

How dare you accuse the Desolation Row of being Christian! Jesus you say? We have no such citizen!

But hey, if you abandoned your seige because of him, maybe we can find a couple more Jesus' somewhere

"Point of view" is sometimes choice. You choose to look at some as arrogant, but under some points of view yours could be considered arrogant as well. I choose not to look at you this way.

Thanks for playing. I enjoyed you and your team and getting to know all of you. Learned a few things along the way also about the personalities involved...some lessons were not easy. Still, I wish you and all The Bards the best. Hope to see you all in the first Civ4DG.

"And she was singing,
Bye, Bye miss American pie,
Rode my Chevy to the Leavy, but the Leavy was dry,
And good 'ol boys were dringing Wiskey and Rye,
Singing, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die"

You will be missed, Euphorica.


The Music isn't dead, as long as those who had heard it, remember.....

Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

I did not mention "my" point of view, nor "your" while addressing arrogance. It is you who fills in those pointers.
