How to be a "THE GREATEST CIV PLAYER IN THE WORLD" - Page 3

So true... You aren't fooling anybody

Kaak · March 11, 2003, 08:07

this is a classic thread, and probably deserves to be sticky

my comments:

strat: if you have been the champion 8 times, one could logically surmise that you couldn't possibly be the best, or you wouldn't have lost it 8 times

Your biggest weakness is that you are a quitter. You always have been. I can remember one tribe game where you quiit because of your horrible start, and coldwizard replaced you. And he was instrumental in a smashing victory.

eyes (or malevolentLight): my biggest critique of you is that you (much like myself) primarily played one setting. And, I think you would probably be generally regarded as one of the greatest ever is your attitude was so self-depricating. if you would just win and be quiet about it, people would respect you a lot more.

kuja: apparently, selfadmittedly, cheats.

as for others that could contend for the "greatest" MP, the only other i know is JB, who exited the scene before the onslaught of many of the greatest (read "my") strategies

as for new comers, or further development of the older guys, i don't know much. but i do have some awards to pass out...(high school yearbook style)

1) most analytical: oedo
2) most innovative: eyes
3) most "i'll never give up and i'll kick your tank in the teeth with my horseman: coldwizard
4) most creative: strat (and i'm not just talking about excuses

) i'll add more later, i'm not thinking well at the moment

Nobody should state from himself, to be the world-best player, if he didn´t play against all different. I let apply only the statement „ I still played against none, which plays better than me“. Surely everyone already lost, because others had more luck or simply had been really better these days. I do not take up for me, to be the best German player, but I participate in front. I have my strengths in the strategy and war guidance, but there are at least 2 German players, whom I call complete, because they are superior to me in the trade and research. It is just as important to be good on all conceivable Settings. Only 2x2xking or only 1x1xdeity mark a good specialist, but not the world-best player.

If the people that I play consider me good competition, then I'm satisfied. I'll leave the dubious claims of greatness to others.

Kaak · March 11, 2003, 12:11

and that is true, it's true

While I totally agree with my twin brother on this point (duhhh... like usual) I would also add to it.

And as long as people find it enjoyable to play me, I'm even more satisfied. I play for fun and entertainment... and that's what is important to me.

You could be an Aussie

Ming · March 11, 2003, 20:36

Isn't that what "games" are supposed to be about

Alexander's Horse · March 11, 2003, 20:49

Not if you are English

MalevolentLight · March 11, 2003, 23:59

You've been gone a long time kaak and are not aware of what I have done in your absence. I have already proved myself the greatest King player on all settings whether it be small maps or medium maps, 2x1x, 1x1x, or 2x2x. I refuse to play deity and I have outlined more thoroughly than anyone on why that is.

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:08

Yeah - because you lose at deity.

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:09

Actually I can count on just a few fingers the amount of games I've lost on deity.

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:11

Yes but you cheat so maybe you should shoot for "greatest cheat in the world".

You'd certainly find support here for that claim.

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:19

Ok, so then you are changing your argument from me losing on deity to me being a cheater? Does that mean you want to go ahead and admit you were wrong?

Which I take to mean you've only played a handful of deity games

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:24

It took you two posts to think that one up? That's about as bad as your tricycle post.

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:26

Why do I feel like a cat playfully slapping a noisy little mouse?

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:31

If that's the best you can do then you've obviously been declawed. I'll take my cheese and be on my way.

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:32

he's stung

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:34

stung?

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:35

Lol< he came back

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 00:39

Is this where the defeated AH salvages the situation by, for all intents and purposes, posting +1? You disappoint me in many ways AH, but this...

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 00:40

*presses his buttons again*

Hmmm, so many to choose from

Ming · March 12, 2003, 01:16

Be nice you two

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 01:18

Trying to make it kick off again eh Ming?

You subtle old troll

Ming · March 12, 2003, 01:20

And I'm trying to keep it from happening...

You not so subtle old troll

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 01:34

You're just feeling sorry for the boy

Ming · March 12, 2003, 01:44

I'm just trying to stop the personal attacks.
The chest beating and calling people newbies is fine by me... Heck, it keeps these forums interesting.

Now pass the popcorn...

Alexander's Horse · March 12, 2003, 01:46

Well he's gone now so you'll just have to settle for peace and quiet.

Which is what I thought you wanted

MalevolentLight · March 12, 2003, 01:47

I'm not gone, you simply haven't posted anything that needs replying to.
