      well yin while i have been waiting forever for this game to come out like everyone i am not pessimistic. Ok so i kind of am but that is what all the beer is for It makes even the worst situation seem like a walk in the park. And if that doesn't work i watch Top Gun and pretend Mavrick is from my country......ok so i lie but i do watch Top Gun when i am mad! lol So kick back grab a beer and watch top gun and before you know it civ 3 will be out

            Cool! But don't go spreading too much good-druken cheer, now. It will throw us off track!

              Well,

              I guess I ought to officially join Yin's club as well - my spirit has been there for a while. Room for one more?

              My only question is... do I have to be pessimistic all of the time or is it ok to get excited and positive for a time when we do get some new information on the game? I am not sure that I can be completely grouchy about something that is supposed to entertain me.

                Great! I'll add you right away. And of course we should all be happy about the good stuff! In fact, to ignore the good stuff would run counter to our club's vision, which is to HELP Civ 3's development. So when we see good stuff, we should offer genuine praise and positive feedback.

                  i predict that after a few days the differences between the two clubs will be like the differences of the democrats and the republicans.

                      Markos, you didn't change your avator yet
                      while I made such a beautifull one for you !

                      i predict that after a few days the differences between the two clubs will be like the differences of the democrats and the republicans
                      I hope so ! I truly do !
                      But I'm not positive that yin will admit his faults and convert his club into something that 's very alike to the realistic club

                      But indeed, if yin would drop his blatant pessimistic attitude and start to base his criticism on facts..... yes, then I'm positive about a merge, and I'll be very happy to offer him the vice-president position !

                        Hey Markos, can't I be President of the Official Apolyton Non-Aligned Civers Club? We can be like Nader and the greens in US, a fringe group with an aversion of the mainstream consisting of Yin's and Cyber's clubs.

                          LOL! While you wait for 'facts,' I'll use some common sense! Ah, this could be fun, you know.

                            The question then becomes will we all gravitate towards a happy median of realistic pessimism, or will it be pessimistic realism?

                              Can I remember you that realism is already 'mainstream'.

                              The only club I can imagine someone wants to start would be the 'blind optimistic civers club.'

                                I believe RAH is campaigning for that already.
