perhaps you should try to get a job at Gamespot or CGW or something like that! just tell them that you can write an accurate and just review without even finishing a whole game! imagine the productivity increase!!!

I guarantee I've played more Civ3 than the reviewer at Gamespot, smarmy jerk. Just because I play very long games on large maps that I win over long periods of time doesn't somehow mean I play Civ3 less than people who get rolled on small maps by the AI before 1 AD rolls around.

Oh - and nice to see the moderators comment more on posters than topical matters, just like your typical Internet troll. What did you name the bridge you live under? Eat a goat lately?

and on top of that you have a much better opinion on the game than him! that's why i said you should go for it.

smarmy jerk

now that's an argument i'm not sure how to respond...

what does winning or loosing and map size have to do with having an accurate view of the game?

1) what's "topical matters"?
2) usually people live under bridges dont get to name them
3) not a whole one
4) sarcasm is not trolling...

this is a very UGLY thread

i'm sorry i broke down to read it.

I only decided to comment on it...because this reminded me how my very first thread was closed (censored) simply because i said the patch killed my communist empire (almost).

Then in my naivity(sp), i asked what the moderators link was trying to tell me.

BAM! another mod closes that post cause apparantly i was trying to do an end run on the first.

I was told to take it to the complaints forum (there is none) or email moderators. I emailed them both and got NO reply.

So fine lesson learned ..i move on.

But then i see the moderator jumping all over ven here. It does not seem professional or impartial as one would expect.

How can one expect flames to be extinguished if the mods do it?


Now i realise this will open me up to mud slinging...i don't mind too much. I would just like people to focus on the game and not the people.

Each person has a right to express his or her opinion as long as it is not insulting. Its ok to just disagree, you don't have to go on a crusade.

As far as i can tell, both detractors and proponents of Civ3 are guilty of instigating this kind of thread.


I think its also safe that i post this here...'cause this thread just can't get any uglier.

Redstar,
- apolyton forum convention #1: if a thread is closed with a moderator posting a last reply with a link to a new thread, it is meant that the discussion should be continued there. and of course there is nothing wrong with the content of the thread

- apolyton forum convention #2: we get lots of e-mails and the last 48 hours we had problems with the mail server. beyond that it's much easier to post in the apolyton forum as it was suggested to you

- apolyton forum convention #3: it is generally allowed to owners and moderators of these forums to express their opinions and discuss matters. especially since they are not hired employees but just fans


finally a question: please tell me how i should respond to people who call me a "smarmy jerk" and what exactly was wrong with my response
