Even if we're all playing a strategy game this is a social forum. What you say and how you behave yourself is remembered far longer than whether you manage to beat many opponents.

Acting smug, condescending and throwing stuff like that does nobody any good. Being a game admin requires a thick skin, because people ***** about stuff that can't be affected. And usually correct answer is "Mea culpa, won't happen next time" instead of trying to prove one is correct to the last. Usually one just ends up contradicting himself and all the battles of the egos that result serve no-one.

So, lets keep on playing. I really think that the game setting conversation and the reasons why we are at this situation in-game are things that are better discussed when everyone can openly state what they have done and why, instead of the current war-time fog of war.

Your quite correct, though no one is being smug. What I said is quite true. I enjoy the game, but I don't take it that seriously and barely have time for it. I'm a noob and never claimed to be anything else, I've said it was unintentional if those outside of the game feel otherwise, that is on them. I've said the settings can be discussed later, but I'm not opposed to discussing them now, inevitably we wind up having a long debate about them anyway, especially between me and QM. If the vets have the elusive recipe for a balanced game I'd like to hear it. I do want the game to be larger (in terms of players) as befitting a final showdown.

Noob team:

Ossa (Sauromatia) and Alansmithee(Formoria), please check into the noob forum and coordinate/participate. Thanks.
