Lurking does not make one a Troll, trolling (think about commercial fishing) does. I'm just saying it's a certain kind of person, even if they aren't trolling here.

We do have Sock Puppets, what makes you think we don't have Trolls.

Again, this forum has no discipline or disturbance issues. It is an oasis of civil behavior in the moral desert of modern social gaming.

What's a Sock Puppet? That's a term I have never heard before.

Loser, you've made an interesting remark. It reminds me of the clean street/dirty street problem. Give a guy a candy bar and let him walk down a clean street. He'll probably put the wrapper in his pocket. Let the same guy walk down a dirty street. Chances are, he'll throw the wrapper on the ground.

Yeah Loser, what's a Sock Puppet?

* minipol surfs to urban dictionary *

Ha, now i know. Never heard the term before.
For the lazy:

"An account made on an internet message board, by a person who already has an account, for the purpose of posting more-or-less anonymously."

This rules out Fyron. Imagine he would have the time to make a Sock Puppet! Now THAT would be scary

Default Hey, Ekolis! (and others?)

Nice signature. I drifted over here... ended up getting Space Empires IV instead of MoO3. Very good game, beat it a couple of times but now I'm on a big galaxy and having manegerial overload (I will NEVER trust an AI governor.) And for the first time ever I'm joining a forum with no lurking period at all. So tell me, who are the evil people to avoid here? Any other MoO3 refugees?

Oh, and why does it always show all the Posts backwards? (Reverse chronological order?)

Welcome to the forum. No evil people here, so enjoy yourself. Well...there are a few wolves, most of them are playing KOTH games

As to why the forum is bass ackwards, it just is.

welcome nocturnal. While, as most, i can tell you that this forum is surprisingly a pleasant place to be in (noone will ever shout at you and go to the search). BUT i can answer the inverse chronology question - we had been hit by a Time Distortion Burst. in our case we suffered little - all we got is an inverted forum.

seriously, it had always been so. SG staff like it that way and dont want to change it, and frankly i got used to it and find it kinda convenient
p.s BZZZZZZZZ

Loser: I see nothing wrong with sock puppets, as long as they don't do any damage. If people happen to create one, it's because they have their own reasons.

And to answer Nocturnal's original question: There are no evil people to avoid here, unless you count Fyron's post count as being evil .

Welcome to the forums. Make yourself at home.

Default Re: Hey, Ekolis! (and others?)

What bugs me most about the reverse forum thingy is that I can't bookmark individual pages of a long thread because it keeps repaginating. In a normal order forum, if a post is on, say page 10, then I expect it to stay on page 10 next time I come back to it. I can't do this in this forum and it makes trying to read all of the Posts in very long threads very annoying and tiresome.
