Someone please shut Markus up

Graag · June 12, 2002, 16:51

For the love of god, will someone just kick the guy's ass; 'dominate' was one of my favourite words until Markus started using it every other post

Ming · June 12, 2002, 17:15

Oh please...
Markus is Markus... He is who he is... Deal with it...

Hydey · June 12, 2002, 18:01

Isn't there enough threads bagging Markus already.

DrFell · June 12, 2002, 18:40

Apparently he gets his ass kicked all the time but it still doesn't shut him up.

SlowwHand · June 12, 2002, 18:55

Might as well try and stop the wind.

War4ever · June 12, 2002, 19:01

Hydey · June 13, 2002, 05:47

Why practice whining, he appears very good at it already.

Dank · June 13, 2002, 06:50

atawa · June 13, 2002, 07:10

War4ever · June 13, 2002, 09:50

Yes but markus is from my home town......besides, markus is a great player.....so he is entitled to a bit of bragging

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2002, 21:08

I think his reputation is shot by the settings issue. He seems to have really shot himself in the foot there.

DrFell · June 13, 2002, 21:20

You mean he refuses to play on 'aussie' maps

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2002, 21:28

Well the so-called "Aussie maps" are just the mid range settings all the way through plus archipelago - hardly a radical departure.

War4ever · June 13, 2002, 23:07

they are ugly maps though

deity · June 14, 2002, 00:03

I just did!

I'll post about it soon but in the Thurs night diplo I repulsed all Markus invasions despite Dangime, Raz and Winzity ALL attacking me or declaring war on me!

J23SE and Berzerker the only two in the game not against me and I only lost two small homeland cities. Dangime has retreated now. Markus can't capture anything...

You'll have trouble shutting me up now.. more later...

Sometimes - but only if you choose small map. That seems to squeeze out the green squares.

If you make the parameters slightly larger than small you get quite a good map.

We played 3 turns or 4 turns, and i landed 3 consripts on a forest because i couldn't land elsewhere. How exactly does one invade without attacking a single unit or city?

Winzity has no offensive units and no ships and hasn't attacked you once.

dagmine has a few muskets and took a empty city.

As for raz attacking you? Come on how stupid do you think i am, its just another way for you to get around the rules, he takes a few cities and puts in very light defence, then you attack them and get his war techs. ( we banned contact of any kind except trading maps + no tech stealing)

So let me get this straight, last week you tried to convince everyone your allowed to attack by asking other civs to make you declare war. I then reposted the rules, where we all agreed and then YOU yes YOU sent around a message saying i forgot to add unit gifting and gifting of gold was also banned.

This session, you invite raz to take over the for the romans, i tell him the rules and all of a sudden you remember nothing about gifting of units being against the rules, you even send around a message telling everyone its ok. I forward you the message you sent to everyone last week telling them it was banned. you then send a message telling everyone you won't do it because you don't want me whining about it. So basically, you wanted ras to join and take over for the AI so he could gift you units, when that didn't work you got him to "declare" war on you and take a few of your size 3 cities.

I also said i might get a job next week so my playing time would be pushed back to at least 6pst just like it was before feb. You try and make it sound like i was quitting.

Basically you pull the exact same bullshit every time your not winning, this time i was smart enough to make sure the rules where ALL spelled out before the game, and they appear in all players icq history.

Alexander's Horse · June 14, 2002, 02:44

I really don't know why they call them "diplo" games

deity · June 14, 2002, 02:48

You know perfectly well that I wasn't sure. I was entirely happy with any decision.
You spread falsities Markus.

Raz is a wildcard and I had NO idea he was going to attack. I'm Macheavellian in the game but outside I don't set things up like that because everyone knows I'm a very fair player.

I let a lot of things go in the interests of keeping games going. Your rep is in tatters and you are trying to deflect.

You kept track of the agreed rules and I'm thankfull for that. I never argued about it and simply asked a few questions about rules when I wasn't sure. Last week you sent around my original rules that were posted that said unit ceding was OK, provided there were no double moves. Today you qualified that by saying that subsequently we agreed to no gifting of anything. I went along with that even though I wasn't sure. But upon reflection that does ring a bell. I'll have to go back over the thread. stop trying make up things though.

Losers always talk rules hair splitting when things aren't going so well.

deity · June 14, 2002, 02:52

June7, Markus sent this around last week quoting my originally posted rules:
