The Difference Between Good and Great Players - Page 8

Why would I play a no wonder deity game? What kind of moron would put himself through that? I'm not a priest of a false god like you jes. I don't have all day to waste molesting little boys and playing a dead computer game. I probably won't even waste my time on Oedo. You know why? Because it's pointless. Why should I care what some rookies think? The game is dead and has been for some time. The German league is a joke. It's the only ladder Markus was ever able to become number 1 on. That alone says something. You should really take up a new career in life. Most people already know there is no god, I guess the Germans are a little bit behind on that one. But the Germans have always been just a little bit behind haven't they? Stupid krauts.

Hehe actually I thought there were more 'holy men' in the USA than anywhere in Europe... Europe is a rather atheistic place in general.

If you know you cant beat Jes in a no-wonder game just admit it and shut the **** up

Btw,

for Jes for keeping his

Nice to see you around mate, lets set one up sometimes

oedo · July 27, 2002, 09:11

o, eyes, you don´t believe in god and you don´t believe in yourself. now, what do you believe in then?

Chris 62 · July 27, 2002, 10:57

Man, you can feel the love.

El Civ · July 27, 2002, 11:37

The life of Eyes must be a pretty miserable existence. It would seem that the outlet for his (apparent) adolescent difficulties are the forums here and elsewhere. He makes brash statements and when someone (Oedo in this case) calls him on it he then backs away (saying he probably won't play him now, after first saying he would). And he likely wonders why folks here do not care for him and his behavior?

I would also suggest that it is quite uncivilized to belittle someone for their belief in God. I am a Christian, yet I would not belittle you or anyone else for your/their beliefs. Your grand lack of maturity glares brightly in your posts.

oedo · July 27, 2002, 14:53

eyes showed up. we played and he won.
I think I should tell you before the bashing goes on.
thank you eyes.

HappySunShine · July 27, 2002, 15:25

Markus the only reason you were number 1 for that very short period of time was because you took advantage of the weak point formula that Kwang and bluewaldo came up with. I would have to play 5 1 on 1 duels with people at my level or above in order to equal 1 MP game that you played. And all you did was get some newbies on the zone with real low ratings like 1200-1400 to play a 5 or 6 player powergraph game that ended at 1000BC or sooner. I'm sure going republic and celebrating your cities on an enormous map with tons of players takes alot of skill. What's more is that you could play anyone at any rating whereas the real players that played duels would actually lose points even if they won if the guy was too low. Plus you refused to play any duels at all and you constantly dodged upper level players. As soon as you hit number 1 you suddenly got very bored of civ2 and gameleague. Yes, you had an amazing gameleague career.

War4ever · July 27, 2002, 17:45

gameleague always had too much controversy....

BTW Eyes..how many times were you gameleague champ...i have forgotten now......? I know strat was 8 time chump

HappySunShine · July 27, 2002, 18:14

I didn't have to go to number 1 very many times. When I got up there I kept it for a very very long time. Nobody has kept the number 1 spot longer than me. Strat went to number 1 and then fell down about 36 hours later. He probably never kept the number 1 spot for more than a week. Who cares how many times you've been number 1, it's how long you keep it.

No point in even arguing your one sided memory. I refused to play duels, and nearly all the upper ranked players where in the games i played. Unlike you i didn't constantly play newbies to keep my score up. Its not my fault you don't have enough skill to play a MP game. The one time you and kaak did play you got your asses kicked so bad you never played another big league game

War4ever · July 27, 2002, 19:32

alot of great players have one sided memories

HappySunShine · July 27, 2002, 20:38

I have NEVER EVER played a MP game that was in competition. And no the top players didn't really play that many MP games. Yes as time went on and the older players left then the "top" players did begin to play more. But duels still ruled the league and I remember talking to kwang about changing the formula to make it more even. And what kind of ****ing moron are you? PLaying newbies? Are you ****ing stupid or what? If I played newbies then I would never have gotten to number 1 considering that in duels you have to play peopel at your level or higher to even get 50 points! If I played anyone below 1000 I'd actually lose points for winning. But of course you're too stupid to remember that. You're also too stupid to remember that NO YOU DIDN'T play games with the top players usually and when you did it was usually 1 guy and the rest were newbies. PG games to 1000BC do not take skill and I would like to see anyone try to contest that with me. You are the most over rated player of all time. I have beaten you on every setting and still you seek to challenge me. You are nothing, you have always been nothing. It's why you play on some backwater kraut site in order to be number 1 on the rookie league.

your mistaken....the memory comes back when they win

Flatlander Fox · July 27, 2002, 22:48

You are forgetting the memories that only exist in their mind!

I would assume that the game isn't fun for someone that has to worry so much about their reputation?

War4ever · July 28, 2002, 01:35

i worry about my rep..... don't you?

jes · July 28, 2002, 01:47

its the fight for identity or something; the dispute between eyes and markus is exactly the same it was YEARS ago when i was active in this forum: eyes tells, that all others are ****, and how many times, and how long, and so on, and markus trys to give another sight.
i only remember one exception, when markus and eyes made a tribe, saying only sweet words to each other. that were great times

.

@atawa, yea, hope to see and to play you soon!

Yeah... I worry about my rep... but only my rep as an honest and fun person to play with.

I'll leave the "who is number one" crap to the people that actually give a damn

jes · July 28, 2002, 06:35

ming,

, dacore

War4ever · July 28, 2002, 13:11

but of course Ming, you need to be a great player to have a rep

rah · July 29, 2002, 13:31

While I lean towards what Ming says, I do prefer that I have the rep of being a good player instead of a bad player.

Number one is meaningless.

SlowwHand · July 29, 2002, 21:14

Getting back to the alleged "League".
Leaders of the "League" scarfed on newbies at Zone, duels or not.
As often as not, this was done by playing until a pre-arranged end date, building Pyramids, and going by Power Graph.
