Crimson Skies - Running

[Juffos]

It is not actually that hard to keep hostile dominion out of your lands.

Any preferences on map?
If we had 12, I'd go Wotg, but with 11.. Desert Eye?

It is so cool you have an opinion Fakey. How bout keeping your comments to the game?

Never seen a dominion kill game Juffos? Not as hard as you think. I'd bet 2 cents that pretender design has a large role in the outcome. Course, it's the unending hordes of undead that usually kill you. Not the awake dom10 SC that strolls around, or is it?

I'd give you the same advice. We're here to enjoy ourselves not to get a lecture from someone clearly not interested in anyone's opinion but their own. Please attempt to keep the flamebaiting out of game thread otherwise no one will be able to enjoy themselves.

And as to whatever comment I'm expecting you're going to post in response to this I frankly don't care, but on the off chance you want to move on from this and only post constructive criticism I'll happily forget this altercation if you are.

I was going to stay out of this, but it's getting ridiculous.

Anyone who takes an SC pretender as Ermor is a n00b who is just going to roll one neighbor, and then lose in mid-end game. The only things Ermor needs from their pretender are summons/research/diversity/dominion. Not killing stuff.


And anyways, I really -hate- fighting LA Ermor as well. But it's easy enough to just say "if you allow LA Ermor, I'm finding a different game", and let everyone else choose. As it is, it just looks like you're pitching a fit, but you'll play anyways.

Of course, but you couldn't help yourself could you?

Did that make your day to use "noob" in a sentence? I really am curious.

Again, this is totally irrelevant. There is no particular claim I am trying to make here other than dominion kill is a viable strategy.

If you want to discuss the pretender choices that Ermor has so vehemently. Then I'd say a lich with dom10 fits the criteria you state above and would work fine as an SC in early, mid or late game. And yes, even an SC pretender with no magic diversity, bad research and access to some summons is viable in mid and late game. The variance of the game can supplement a multitude of strategies - good or bad.

Strange. That's what I originally said in my post. Am I missing something? Is the omission of a smiley making this appear vile and hostile? If you're an English Major maybe you could tell me where did I go wrong in this post? See below. I was going for a sarcastic tone here.

What makes you think I won't bail the moment someone picks Ermor?

It's just that you're being a bit of a jerk over the whole thing. Let me clarify - nothing came off as sarcastic or joking, it just seemed bitter and hostile.

LA Ermor has lost plenty of MP games. Do they color the game they are in? Most definitely. Do they make the game some sort of ridiculous farce, that everyone should get red in the face about, as you seem to be? Well no, not really. No more than Lanka, or Niefelheim, or Hinnom/Ashdod.

Just calm down, eh? If you don't want to play in a game with them, fine, then state it clearly and move on. If someone asks to play Ermor, then the host can choose. If you don't like the thought that he isn't outright banning Ermor because of your sour attitude, then you can opt to join another game before it gets to that point.

How hard is it, really?

I wasn't joking. The first post was neutral in tone. Defiant? Sure. I think sarcastic. If someone is going to start crying over that, that is simply pathetic.

As for anything else in subsequent posts. You get what you ask for. For example, you wrote a lot of trash in your prior post; which had no direct relevance with anything in my post. I could care less for your tone. Your content was feeble. See below.

This statement is not true.

Yes, I think anyone that is cool with LA Ermor being in a game has no clue. I said that already. That is my opinion. Maybe the host will take that into consideration, maybe he won't. Feel free to be offended.
