		...and from the smoke filled sky rumbles a thunderous voice: 
" Cast not your stones lest the moderators be summoned!"

		I hardly feel responsible for you completely misconstruing an innocent statement, Arch. 
On the other hand, I suppose I'd be a bit raw if I had a Dracolich land on my head on turn 3, especially if it proceeded to not quite manage to kill me.
 
All things considered though, I think your estimation of your position is overly pessimistic (but not by any means EASY).
 
But let's not argue.

		I believe the appearance of Balbarian was a not so subtle hint to drop it, jim. 
 
because you claiming things only makes me want to respond to them. 
 
for instance, where did I make an "estimation of my position", let alone one that is "overly pessimistic?"  Mictlan is 6 turns behind the curve, but should be able to catch up in a year or so, if all goes well. And, frankly, your estimation of my situation is not worth a hill of beans.

Early part of the game.  You have 6 territories:  Your nearest neighbor has 1.  You have leads in research, dominion, army size. 
 
You are playing Jotunheim.  Are you giant enough?

 Classic.

Enough said.  That and the Gath story only indicates that yes, my suspicions about your style of play has weight.  And I love the fact that you conveniently have server problems the moment your turns turn things against you when previously and now, you could've easily posted for a postponement due to server issues.

looking back, I was perhaps a bit harsh in the  degree to which I jumped on Jim for his comment, though my analysis was correct.  please replace the  retard imputation with something milder

		Ok. Subtle hints don't seem to be working. 
Consider this a warning.
 
Just a reminder of the board rules:
 
	Quote: 
	
	
		
			
				User Fighting 
If you post in this forum, we expect you to contribute positively to a conversation. If you disagree with someone, great, explain your point of view, have an open discussion. Please do not disparage the other person. Personal attacks are unacceptable. They just lower the brow of all involved. If you don't like someone, talk about it on ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM, your journal, or your blogger, but not here. People who bait or bash members or mods may be banned without notice. Flaming, humiliating, ridiculing, or belittling other members will not be tolerated. This includes blatant disrespect of others whether it is through negative language or general attitude. We see no difference between straight out calling someone stupid and using creative language and attitude to imply that person is stupid. Continuing to harass in any form another poster via the board, email, or instant message after being informed that communication is no longer desired is also prohibited. Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is whenever someone is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the other participants of the board. Trolling could be directed towards one user or a group of users. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further discussion, it only encourages personal attacks (if left unchecked) and will not be tolerated. If you get out of hand you will be warned, if the negative behavior continues you may be banned. Nobody likes it when this happens, so play nice! What actually constitutes out of hand or negative behavior is at the discretion of the staff.

		Zeldor can you set jotunheim to AI? Obviously after multiple stals the situation has gone from bad to worse, so I doubt you will find a sub. Also an AI is better than a human player not playing (so it will give archae something to play with)
