nice civ.....

all this time and you still suck

Alexander's Horse · July 18, 2003, 00:43

Oh yes, HARR HARR bloody HaRR.

Ming · July 18, 2003, 01:10

You were the one that posted the file

Alexander's Horse · July 18, 2003, 01:21

Yes, and this is one big difference between Australians and Yanks - we don't mind a few laughs at our own expense.

Why don't you?

Ming · July 18, 2003, 01:27

I don't know about other "yanks"... but I have no problems with a few laughs at my expense... If we can't laugh at ourselves... who can we laugh at

Alexander's Horse · July 18, 2003, 01:28

Yeah you're okay Mingie.

Anyway, back to the point - once everyone has had a good laugh, is anyone going to send the save back to me? I.e. in the next 6 hours when I might need it?

Yaroslav knows how the password is stored in files.

BTW, PBEM players (edit: I found out that many players don't) still 'protect' games using passwords

. One year ago at CivFanatics forum I tried to explain them that it is very easy to get that password off. Approx. a half populace started to cry they don't want to know about it and I was immediately banned by SunTzu for a week.

rah · August 14, 2003, 18:05

Since it provides no real protection of people peeking at your civ in MP and it might be useful for situations like the one AH stated, I don't think you would be banned if you posted it here.

Yeah, they have some strange rules at cfc

Another great example:

Wow that sounds harsh.

5. Members can cuss and discuss anything; if enough want a change of Status for a technique, then members should directly address the Admin (Duke of Marlbrough) via posts or PMs... The Admin will proceed as he desires, e.g., open a specific thread, do a poll, consider various input, etc. and ultimately decide the timing and scope of the change. Hypothetical example: "Pet Cities are no longer allowed beginning in GOTM 020"; then the item #17 status would be changed to "disallowed" and made boldface.

6. The Admin (DoM) does have the final say on what is allowed and disallowed (not me, Starlifter), and the list will be changed to reflect any new Admin decisions in the future to keep the Status current.

7. The Admin can feel free to directly edit this list (use Mod editing); just add a revision number at the top of this post & update the Revision History (below), plus make a post in the thread so this thread resurrects & everyone knows.

rah · August 15, 2003, 08:20

More examples of why I avoid that place.

That thread was pretty funny. The later post about them taking pride in monitoring is freaking hilarious.

atawa · August 15, 2003, 11:12

Yeah, some people take this game and themselves way to serious

DrSpike · August 15, 2003, 12:12

Its the same in many settings.........give (otherwise reasonable) people some power, even in the simple setting of a gaming forum, and it goes to their heads and they act like jerks. Apolyton is great because the owners aren't megalomaniacs. Other gaming sites I've posted at are not always similarly blessed.

rah · August 15, 2003, 13:30

Hmmm, not sure if I was just insulted.

DrSpike · August 15, 2003, 13:59

Ok change it to owners and mods, so that noone feels insulted.

Anyone that frequents gaming forums knows how good Apolyton is, apart from the actual bouts of server trouble these days.

rah · August 15, 2003, 14:28

Yeah, I knew that, but it was a bit loosely written.

DrSpike · August 15, 2003, 15:31

Hehe, maybe you feel guilty? Have you perhaps been abusing your authority in the RoN forums?

rah · August 15, 2003, 16:06

No need to, no one ever posts there.

DrSpike · August 15, 2003, 17:57

I thought the RoN influx was getting the blame for some of the server load problems.

atawa · August 16, 2003, 17:23

I think rah was talking about the people from this forum.

What is strange on that? Probably I am strange too...

We are talking about a wolf and the wolf is behind door. (czech(?) saying)
