Where can I find a printable tech tree?

[Jamski]

I hope they're going to stay around. Its always nice to get new members in the SMAC section.

And what bad blood?

It's kind of funny I stopped playing the game because I was kind of bored of the gameplay, and because everyone was slamming the game over on the alpha.owo forums . I found myself swayed by all the bad talk.

I guess that is why some gaming forums restrict negative comments about their games.

But I have returned to this game recently. It's still not a game I play frequently, as the gameplay is pretty much the same (although I have learned a few new tricks). But I did buy the planetary pack (with the laptop collection), so I play occasionally. I'm always on the prowl for things I have overlooked in this game.

I see lots of bad blood here. Yes I'm talking about you. Yes you.

Good point about Enigma_Nova, Jamski, but there is a very simple way to make his mouth shut - just respond with more argumented and more adult like insult..as I did some days ago..

But I will put him on ignore, because I dont need those finger-training exercises anymore!

And - have you noticed that his stupid sig regarding his "smactalk abilities" has disapperared somewhere?
Its a sign that he has started to research Secrets Of His Own Brain and as one of the 1st theorems came a conlusion that he's not always what he think he is..

But what can we expect from such youngster.... he became 18 only 17 days ago..

I only hope there wont be any more such newcomers and longstayers as that Enigmaticly farking guy..

[Jamski]

Sorry, I'm not really the type to fight fire with fire *shrugs*

What was this thread about?

Oh yes, tech trees... ...we seem to have got sidetracked.

It is better to leave people aware of their own intolerance than to start a flame war with which to excuse it.
Now I'm the one doing the and binTravkin's the one doing the .

What can you expect from a youngster?
Best to expect the unexpected.

Can anybody tell me what "DL" means? I checked the FAQ but it wasn't in there. Thanks.

[Jamski]

A DL is a double login. Its used to refer to a poster logging in under a different name in order to

a) Sow discord.
b) Ask questions they would be embarresed to otherwise.
c) Just for the hell of it.

Its not allowed on 'poly.

Accusing someone of being a DL is pretty much the worst insult on any forum, and the mods like to stamp on the "DL Dance" behavior.

Its not the best way to welcome a new poster, but some arse-hats can't simply be civil.

I'm sorry, but everywhere you go, there'll always be some arse-hats.

Nice to have you here anyway

Most people are just teasing though, using those DL dances. So don't take it as an insult. Jamski, you need to help our new comers to feel more relaxed, not otherwise.

double login

or dual login, but I like double login better.

in any case, we are just having fun.

I would hate to see you actively trying to drive them away, then.

[Khaela]

Well, as I am a newcomer too (and like to show off) I´ll thank you all from the welcoming allthough it wasn´t specifically directed at me. Thanks anyway. Just as an addition I´d like to ad that this forum has the tied place at the category of best smilies I have seen so congrats. I hope I can get some new ideas for my strategies from this forum and hope that I can be of some use to someone in the distant future. (as unlikely as that is)

edit: spelling

[Snowflake]

Welcome Khaela. I'm so happy to see this little community has grown healthily.
