Well, but this does not support your statement. You said this would only happen to player pretenders. Smauler says it happens to AI pretenders too.

You are right, I have so much time to say that every other post here has any topic related content except yours. Now who is wasting time?

sorry.. i work with a college, and this thread reminded me of the committee meetings I have with them sometimes, where hours are spent discussing semantics or shifting the subject to try to come out on top as the "winner" of the argument.

its very academic. i've learnt to laugh at it rather then get frustrated by it. Besides, if it's engaging, then its time well spent (truth of any good form of entertainment, and why controversial topics are so popular). and this thread has been very engaging, despite its lack of educational value.

It's a well-known fact that Dominions players have no life. If they did, would they be here?

true enough.. i've spent many hours readin through your AAR thread Arryn, starting from the beginning, and I'm still not caught up! LOL

although the trick to having a life and playing Dominions is the precious laptop! being a turn based game without a sense of urgency in the turns, you can take the addiction to a new level by squeezing in a few turns where you'd otherwise be sitting around doing nothing

And this reply of mine is being written on my laptop -- which doesn't have Dom 2 installed on it ... yet (it does have JA2, Civ3, and Diablo 2, though; it's an old 600MHz laptop).
