  • optimist unite!

    Civ3 is just 17 days now from release. I call on all the Optimists and even the Realists to unite and make their voices heard. We need to stop this negativity that is overrunning this board.

    let's show some optimism and excitement about our favorite game of all times!

    Thank you firaxis for your hard work and dedication to the game. Thank you for listening to so many of our ideas and concerns.

    I can't wait to play civ3 and have as much fun playing it as you all had making it!
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
    G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

              I'm with you, Diplomat!
              I am, and I will always be, an optimist!!!
              I trust Firaxis, and I hope I also can trust the community here on Apolyton!

              So, you pessimists: be aware, we optimists will rule this forum once again!

                Civ2 = the greatest game of all time

                Civ3 is better than Civ2.

                Need I say more?

                Firaxis! You have ruined my life again!

                  The problem with the pessimists is they assume too much.

                  They only have themselves to blame, really

                        Nay!!! (all in unison now)

                        SP Optimist here- all of the people who are tired of the *eternal whine* of the MPlayers should at least understand the bulk of their constructive criticism, through all of the spam/flame-like-odor. They believe they were intentionally led on to believe that MP would be included in the game- many of them preordered with this belief. No matter who's at fault (I don't think it was the design team's decision, but some exec. in an office), how would we *optimists* feel if they had announced that it was only MP and no SP?

                        Think about it.

                        I'd be really pissed, too.

                          I understand the MP'ers criticisms and worries. However they need to be more respectful of Firaxis. There is no need to start insulting and cursing Firaxis. They are good people who have worked hard to produce a great game. As for me, I think civ3 will be amazing. And, MP will come, it has not been cancelled. And when MP is released, it should be really good since Firaxis spent extra time on it specifically. After all, isn't it better to wait for a really great MP than to have a mediocre MP released with the game?
