At first, this was great, but now it is just sad.

First of all, I don't think that people are posting their ideas about Civ3 hoping that those ideas could still be implemented in the game.

I for one would not bet on the above option. There lots of people here who if they lived near Hunts Valley and knew what three story building Firaxis was located in. They be dropping by all of the time with new idea.
In fact how many e-mails p/day do you think Firaxis received one to two months ago? I would bet they where receiving 500 to 1,000 per day. Right now they are properly receiving 100 to 200 per day.

Anunikoba, if you don't like the Civ3 forum then why do you even come here? What you're basically saying is "I don't like this forum so nobody else should either". People come here to post their ideas so they can just tell them to somebody. I mean almost none of the ideas are going to be used but it's just fun to have people talking about your ideas. Plus not all the threads are just about ideas they're also about some of the implemented stuff in Civ3.

Ok, so what you are saying is that if Sid Meier was to post a suggestion here, in this forum, and Brian Reynolds read it, and still worked at Firaxis, then a change would be made to CivIII?

Maybe my point is a little thin; but then again, so is yours!

and.....

Ralf- thanx for the input, but your post is mostly irrelevant to this conversation. You are basically admonishing the whole of Apolyton for it's activeness, and complaining about the unreliability of the new software upgrade. ??

I for one enjoy how you tell people what they are arguing, or are you trying to convince yourself to rationalize something? Perhaps, you don't like to read anything critical, so you glance at it and think of what it MIGHT say? As has been said here, if you don't like it here, go somewhere else. And I don't know about everyone else, but I for one do enjoy this, so no need to tell me to ignore you

yin26- I guess that the excessive amounts of posting here makes it almost impossible for anyone not to be overwhelmed with the task of sorting through the jibberish just to find the really important stuff. Hmm, and I wonder what that could be?

Actually, the only one overwhelmed so far is YOU. Now here's a thought: YOU could post a thread about something specific you'd like to know, and many people would help you...because we are generally very helpful on this forum.

But the best you can do is come to a public forum DESIGNED to generate discussion and say: "Quit all this excessive talking!"? Please, man, rethink yourself.

I know, what is this guy's problem?

[Sarxis]

ROFL!

That was fun.
-------------------------

Well, I was going to leave it at that, but...

Ah! Forget it! I'm done now. I just hope that each and every one of you that had to prove their point felt just a little better about themselves. And, if you are reading this, then you must be waiting for me to say something else that you can refute so that you may feel just a little better about yourself once again. Come on now... ... "Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your jouney towards the dark-side (of forum posting) will be complete."

Now I will await your replies. I expect a few, "He's lost it"s and maybe a few more "What's your problem?"s, or even some more very ::eh hem:: convincing evidence that the time spent here is time well spent.

[oh, and since I got so many of these, here is one back at ya'!]

[KrazyHorse]

I think I can summarize this thread in two quotes:

I hate to tell you people, but this is just SAD

I don't see what your #*@#*#* problem is

Oh yeah, Anunikoba: Troll, troll, trollity troll.

[Sarxis]

A response like that only begs the retort:

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."

I also liked, "Spam, spam, spammity, spam" from the other thread you replied in- seems to be a recurring theme with you. But I hate to tell you this is just sad.



What? Was there something else you wanted to say?

[KrazyHorse]

Actually, I ripped off the Spammity idea from Firedragon. Pop quiz, mofo: where's it originally from?

By the way:

[Alex]

Well, you know Anunikoba... Life is sad... very sad...

And Civ3 will be one of the few things that can carry some joy to this miserable existence...

Relax.

[JamesJKirk]

Anyone who can't answer what the term "Spamming" derives from should be permanently banned!

Spiced Pork and Ham, of course

[KrazyHorse]

Wasn't it just SPiced hAM? That wasn't quite what I was looking for, though.

[Urban Ranger]

Of course, the Monty Python skit.

That's exactly where "spam" was originated. The term was first used to describe unsolicited commerical postings on Usenet newsgroups, then extended to include junk e-mail.

[TechWins]

convincing evidence that the time spent here is time well spent.

Anything that doesn't let you gain knowledge or get work done isn't time well spent. Although, you do have to fun and that's what these forums are for. Not people like you critizing people for the way they spend their time in life.

Anunikoba, aren't you kind of a hipocrit (no, I don't care if I spelled that wrong) because you have over 500 posts.

And Civ3 will be one of the few things that can carry some joy to this miserable existence...

This is kind of what I'm trying to get through to Anunikoba. Except I wouldn't call life a miserable existence.

Look, we are just bored and impatient people sat around here speculating. You can't fault us for that, surely
