Newbies just lack enough knowledge about civilization games to post here

The irony of that statement has obviously completely escaped you.

Ah, King Troll arrives on cue!

There's a difference between bagging on Firaxis and thinking that post counts gives you a right to bag on the new posters here. Yes, I am elitist in the sense that I think I know when Firaxis is being incompetent. I am *not*, however, some uber-geek who thinks that post count is some kind of badge of honor.

In fact, AH, I believe you once said your post count embarrasses you. Well, it should!

[Alexander's Horse]

Oh give me break Yin - you are constantly pulling rank on the newbies here, constantly dropping in little "I'm important" comments.

Newbie to forum

I'm quite secure with my new rank as newbie first class to this forum. If I make a mistake, which humans are wont to do, I ask for your compassion in advance.

[yin26]

AH: Go find the quotes and get back to me. Until then, Troll on!

I love this smilie concerning newbies: it's funny cos it is true...at civfanatics as a newbie it was 10 posts in before I got a week banning

Now with 920 posts I have only been banned once again -for 50 minutes before I was I learnt my lesson, when you don't like what someone posted don't reply with a post containing the word SPAM 800 times...


Okay: a comment on newbies...perhaps not true...

[Alexander's Horse]

Face facts Yin - you are constantly trying to lord it over the newbies on this forum. I think you are one of the worst offenders. I'm surprised you can't see it yourself and need me to find quotes for you.

[yin26]

Tough business, trolling. Eh, Horse? Find the quotes.

[Alexander's Horse]

You mean like "when I was mod", "when I was coordinating the civ III lists", those kinds of quotes?

Go find them yourself. It shouldn't be too hard.

[yin26]

Oh, I see. This is just you pissing that you've never actually done anything contructive around here. It's o.k., we don't hold it against you. As your 'proof' shows, I don't bag on people for being new. I might refer to past events, but so what? Show me the quote that ends with "...and since you are new here and haven't helped, go to Hell." Even then, I refer to my modding and the List very rarely.

Care to prove otherwise? No, guess not. Then you wouldn't be spamming anymore ... and the shock could kill you. Pretty good troll, though. Almost sounded serious. Move along.

[Alexander's Horse]

HA! You wouldn't be getting so snippy about it if it wasn't true

[kittenOFchaos]

I agree with Yin26 that there is no reason for him not to mention his PAST glories...that isn't an attack...or is too subtle for my liking...

[Alexander's Horse]

I just think its a bit rich for yin to criticise others for something he does himself all the time. I guess he thought we hadn't noticed

I read this thread and here is what I saw:
1. "elite" members engaging in a flame war amoungst themselves.
2. Pruile little children who have spammed up high post counts saying "unless you have 500 posts you are a newbie".
3. People, who I suspect have very little going for them in real life, putting down the future life blood of our organisation just to boost their fragile little egos.

Sad, sad, sad. If you really want to feel better about yourself then you will not find the solution trolling this board. Now that I've had my say I'm going to bozo can this thread and never check up on it again. Have a nice discussion.

double post.
