Suicide? Looks like more of your paranoid delusions .

However, when I confronted them with this, their obvious and blatant denials immediately confirmed the truth of my suspicions....

And you are confirming that you are paranoid.

So I've been on their side of the fence before. I know what they're trying to do.

No, you don't know what they are trying to do. You have paranoid delusions that everyone is out to get you.

Bull****.

Why do you think I've taken to the life of a hermit, wear kevlar, and travel heavily armed?

Because you're paranoid.

It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you.

Thanks for confirming that you are just being paranoid.

I missed this the first time:

and would destroy all of the files of any unauthorized user and hand over control of their shells to me if I pressed the big red button.

It's nice to see that you are willing to destoy the property of others on a whim, and aren't at all concerned about whether your behaviour is illegal.

Norfleet you are clearly a highly intelligent individual. The philosophy you are illustrating above plainly shows why you are an excellent wargamer, but it may be lacking in some other, more social, respects.

I would say that he has demonstrated little intelligence. Using a clear logical fallacy as an argument only shows that he lacks the ability to think.

Illwinter MIGHT be telling the truth, but this is inconsistent with known behaviors.

And you might be cheating in every game you host. Since you can do it, you must have already done it.

Hey! This would explain why he keeps kicking my furry arse when he hosts! And how he can afford fortresses everywhere, sometimes 3 in the same province, one on top of another!

Say - speaking of fortresses on top of another, what happens if a fortress is built in a province that turns out to contain a magic site fortress (River Fortress for example, or Firbolg Fortress)?

Off topic - Cainehill, we are starting new game now, Karan map, 6 players, could use 1 or two more. Are you interested? If so, log on dominions IRC chaneel quickly pls.

Although I can't imagine what information Illwinter would want from my computer *that I would care about*...I definitely think it is a good thing when someone out there keeps people informed so they can make their own choices about what might be harmful and what might not. I don't necessarily agree or care and I might even call it an extreme point of view, but it's still positive in a 'checks and balances' kind of way.

Just to clear things up.

Single player is not affected by this issue at all. Using the same code on different computers is not affected at all. There is no remote control trash your computer function hidden in the game, including one such would probably be illegal. Álso the game does not send several kb's of info, just a few bytes, we have no desire to bog down our less than impressive line with bloated data packages from anonymous dom 2 players.

Graeme Dice, why are you attacking Norfleet with Posts? to me, it makes sense that he is trying to figure this dilemma out.
