Are you little kids never satisfied ? Go crying to your mother but don't bother us !

Cybershy:
You seem to be so incredibly fond of your own opinion. Anyone else's opinion is clearly but a nuisance, as opposed to your godlike untouchable one.

Cybershy is not American. He lives in the King(Queen)dom of the Netherlands, as is clearly visible. He is stuck with Queen Obelix, the mother of Prince Beer.

Don't f*** with me or my country. At least we're realistic and *solve* problems such as softdrugs and euthanasia. Some other countries seem to be so conservative and afraid of concepts they have been raised and indoctrinated with that they would actually rather shove them away so they won't see the actual problem based on any opium religion rather than to do anything about it. It's like wiping the dust under the carpet instead of throwing it in a dustbin[/Pro-Dutch-Babble]

You go first and lone into my ignore list.

Thanks for clearing this up. I have been under the impression that free speech was a two way street, it's ok to whine, and it's ok to speek out against it. But now I see that whining is free speech, speeking out against whining is not free speech. I'm glad you straightened that out for me.

Good point!

And I use my freespeech aswell.

There are problem but nothing that can justify saying civ 3 is not good.

Stop winning you English no good Knigits.

I fart in your general direction!

Hmmm...I think I am the one that posted that the game was broken, and I don't recall being a settler or a kid. I also don't recall having any problems beating the AI so far in civ3.

I come to these boards mainly for the entertainment value, this thread in particular is a barrel of laughs.

well better get back to the game

I am sorry I gave you this impression. That's not what I meant, really, and I apologize if I sounded intolerant.

I will now try to expain myself. IMHO, there is a kind of "border", which depends on factors as your culture and traditions, between "legitimate opinions" and "deliberate attacks". To cross or not to cross this border is up to each one (the poster) sensibility, but everybody else (the readers of the forum, in this case) are involved in the action, so a kind of politeness-based self-limitation is welcome. The press too has this problem-dilemma.

For instance I think Admiral PJ's post in this thread is an opinion (which I even share, to some extent!),
while CyberShy's one is an attack. Please note that I SHARE CyberShy's point of view when he claims for a more costructive criticism, it's just the violence I feel that I do not like.

Cybershy, the truth is we've got here about 85% of a very great game. That leaves a lot of room for whining.

As diplomatic as always CyberShy

[Deathray]

Well, firstly, I personally like Civ 3. I have been played Civ 2 almost non-stop until I got Civ 3, and I don't think I will go back. Of course, Civ 3 isn't perfect, but its still quite polished. There are a couple of small flaws, and the lack of editor and multiplayer, but other than I think that its a great game, and by far the best civ game yet. And it is true that a lot of people are whining about little niggles and trying to make up problems just so that they can complain (I don't know why people do this, but its certainly not uncommon).

However, I have to say that CyberShy's first post was very rude. Also, it is ageist. CyberShy, I would ask you to remember that while you may technically be an adult and others (including myself) are not, that does not make your opinion more valid. The chances are that there will be many "kids" on this board who are both far more intelligent and mature than yourself.

Ok, finally, speaking as an Englishman, I would like to say that the Netherlands' social policies are for the most part very good. Probably more than half of the teenagers of the UK are technically criminals for having tried cannabis. I think that if more countries implemented the liberal policies of the Netherlands, then the world would be a much more fun and relaxed place. I know the UK certainly would. I know that was off topic, but I thought that Zoetstofzoetje could use some support.

It's not *only* a game. Some of us devote a majority if not almost all of our free time to this game. So it's only a game?

Besides the necessities of life, what makes life worth living other than what makes us happy? If I wasn't able to divert myself from the hellish aspects of most of life, life wouldn't be worth living.

Civ is more than a game to many of us.

This isn't precisely relevant to when you are referring to what he is saying, but there is no free speech in this forum. Read the forum FAQ.

Posting on this forum is not a RIGHT, it is a PRIVILEGE that can be taken away.

[Altuar]

Ladies and gentelmen, we got ourselves a troll here.

Of course, us being a generation, so precisely categorized by the troll, that is never satisifed by what they get, we can safely say that his comments are not flamey enough.

Now go back to the hole you crawled out from, because you need a patch! We will complain to your mother and father for releasing you without enough playtesting.

Pembelton: Here's an idea. How about working on making your non-gaming life less hellish and perhaps then you will see that Civ3 is truly a game of fun?
