I had no chance to see the good side of Norfleet, because I did not start frequenting these boards until he left. But I played a few games against him, and whatever Petar says, I think that Norfleet presence made them quite pointless.
In one game, three nations - Caelum, Pythium, and Ulm - pooled all of our pearls together, and created an astral vortex. The next turn, Norlfeet dispelled it, just like that. It was a 500+ gem vortex. No one puts 500 gems in the first dispell, not on turn 60 or so. The game pretty much fell apart afterwards. I say kuddos to Stormbinder for setting a trap for Norfleet and catching him. I for one was getting tired of losing games and not understand how that was happening.
And Stormbinder should be getting thanks, not insults.
