Thats right Markos...tell me that you only discuss Apolyton stuff on Apolyton...then decide things aren't exactly how you would like them to be so you you drop out.

Cya...typical of you anyway.

[MarkG]

i just think that leting things cool down is the best for everyone right now.

i can always reply to your last post in private if you like(i am assuming you wont post my privates messages )

Your PM was very demeaning and reeked of trolling on your position as well. Calling someone in roundabout ways was exactly the image portrayed by the disclosure of that message by Yin. If you say he worded it wrong and you didn't print it to him in that manner, then please disclose just how you did post it. Otherwise it seems to me you were baiting him or just picking a fight and looking for a reason to can him. Or getting insulted and "taking your bat and ball". :P~~~~~~

Psst..Hey Markos..Can I PULLLL--EEEASSEE use you Bat and Ball.since your taking it away and going home?

LOL..just trying to put a slight humorous spin on an otherwise RIDICULOUS discussion..I mean..lets try to resolve this CIV III issue..are there or are there not gonna be Cockroaches in the game with Ranged effects?..For real..I need to know NOW..so as I can be working on an improvement such as Raid..or even Terminix..city improvement..

(Well..all this talk of BUGS..I felt that perhaps CIVIII might forget to put in something to combat those pesky critters?)

My condolences, Yin. Just goes to show you, authority figures can't afford to wax philosophical... well, not out loud, anyway. But there's plenty of room in the peanut gallery for all of us, wot?

It's been said that the person best qualified for governing (well, moderating) is the person who wants the job least. That being said....

ME! ME! ME! ME!

A childish act or planned conspiracy? not sure but either way I'm disappointed in you.

[yin26]

Funniest response yet! That makes less sense than even Markos' decision.

Yes to both, but not necessarily in the way you think. I am, admittedly in my own opinion, qualified to be a list moderator. I don't want to be. I was being sarcastic in using the 'me's' saying that I wanted the job real bad, and hence was not qualified (and therefore, should not be list moderator). It was basically a (failed, obviously) attempt to lighten the mood a bit.

[yin26]

I'm pretty sure he was aiming for me, but if it's you he wants, even better! (..btw, I got your joke and think most people could see you are trying to lighten the mood, but I could be wrong...)

[OldWarrior_42]

LMAO @ Troll.

Mark...the only reason I would ever post a PM was if it were threatening me.

But I do not wish to discuss this in private. I feel whatever I say is good enough for everyone else to read. But I respect your wishes to drop out of the conversation and let things die.

My last comment about you dropping out when things get hot and being typical of you was uncalled for and I apologize. I guess I was baiting you, kind of like the way I thought you were baiting Yin. Anyway, just forget it. I get pissed at myself when I do things that I usually dislike for other people to do to others. Just shows you I aint poifict.

I guess this conversation will end soon enough.

[Darkstar]

MarkG, yes I did indeed say that. As long as I know the person is a VOLUNTEER, I presume several things... like they aren't really TRAINED like a paid professional being employed by the business the volunteer works for.

Would you expect a candy striper to know how to handle CPR? Triage? I wouldn't.

Yin, if you wanted out of moderating, you should just say so. If you are trying to play "cat", quit it. That will cause you to lose more respect/face with everyone here then just fessing up and going on.

It does sound like this is over. The best that can be done or hoped for is that people learn from this. Particularly MarkG (concerning moderators and making sure they understand everything that you believe they should... no matter how obvious or innane).

And hopefully, Firaxis will learn from it's experiences with SMAC and improve how they support a product, and how they handle their customers. I've yet to find a company that couldn't improve on customer relations.

Ah! I forgot to mention who I was talking to.
My statement was aimed at the person who owns this site.
