Yes I know it's the season to be jolly, but the very reason that there are so many celebrations at his time of year, is because at least in the northern hemisphere it's dark for most of the time, and quite often wet and miserable where I am too. So in a rather ironic effort to cheer everyone up by making them realise that life in fact is unfair and that for at least some/most/all - delete as applicable - of the time it sucks big time. Anyway in an effort to get some of those annoyances off your chest and generally purge the negative thoughts. Here's a place to bemoan things that generally tick you off. Traffic wardens, global warming, the author of this thread, People who don't screw bottle lids on tight enough so there contents go flat, nuclear disarmament,nuclear disarmament protesters, war, want, the government, taxes, etc, etc. Feel free to get it off your chest (of course without resorting to profanity or flaming, in fact this is about those things in life that annoy rather than any one person) Personally I find pointless busy work to be annoying. Your not payed to do nothing so making you do something that achieves nothing, or in other words paying you to do nothing is the solution? I'm sure in anal bureaucrat world it makes perfect sense, but I find the whole idea positively demeaning, if you can't find enough work for someone to do on a regular basis maybe you could save the company some money and hire a part timer next time, Instead of proceeding to delude your employer for the next five years? Oh and I don't want to sound like Ebeneezer Scrooge but do you not sometimes get the impression that people send out vast quantities of Christmas cards in the hope that there card stacked wall will prove that they are in fact very popular? Ah that's better

Good point. Obviously it takes a dedicated team of designers writers and comedians years to come up with those cards. I think maybe Elves make them or something, and the Elves have a very good union? Still Christmas is about marketing and making a nice profit after all, as long as we don't forget that, then I don't supose it matters

Umbra, you're annoying as chit.
Where did you come from? Are you even on the ladder?

Nice quote at the end of your posts Craigbob. And I think there was a humour bypass operation performed on Umbra. Actually what bothers me is the charity cards where 5% goes to charity and it costs like 2 pounds extra. Charity cards should be non profit making, seems like a bit of an abuse of the term charity to me. If only the Spartans had stopped warring with Athens and Thebes for five minutes they might have united Greece, that and Persia playing fund the wars to try and create instability, ironically fueling that which they feared most. It took a Macedonian to do that though good Old Philip and Alexander. Bye bye Persian empire. you've got to wonder at an empire that raised 200000 talents of gold per year falling to one that could hardly muster 200, and an Empire that you could not travel around its borders in your life time, made of nearly 30 vassal countries and states. Impressive leadership there methinks. Here's a moan though: noob haters, no noob games(I know this is mostly non ladder) what are you slowed? Fine in a teamer for game balance, but even then get a noob for both sides

Ok I'm the only moaner; here's another one people who complain about stuff without really knowing what it is they're complaining about: they turn up next day in the lobby after you informed them they were wrong and complain about the same thing, open your ports, turn your firewall off bla bla bla, ok in some case with noobs this is true, but can you just stfu and listen for 1 minute?

OK another moan sites on the web that offer free "insert product" but actually you have to play for them or what they offer for free is so crap that you're forced eventaully to upgrade. Free means Free no obligation no hidden $99 charge(God how gullible do you think americans are) Do your companies treat all of you like morons or have I got the wrong end of the stick(this is mostly american companies that do this cheap nuts/ most European companies let you make your decisions based on real information not flashy banner adds saying FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!) Right that's me done, well for today anyway

Religous Fendementalists(the dangerous ones from any faith): I think we can all agree on that one.

People who like to throw mud at others without having the balls to either A) proove there opinion or B)even acknowledge that they need to justify it. Generally the haters without the witt to justify there argument. Mentioning no names and I realise I'm breaking the thread rules by saying this but there's one person I stumbled across in the lobby whose raccist delusional rantings border on the psychotic; I have - and probably never will - met anyone who is so blindly ignorant of the facts and yet prophesses to know so much about a) Christ on a rather small unicycle, why don't you get off your self righteous horse and go play CIV and leave the rest of us in peace you Lobby Nazi, go play with the other haters where you can maintain your ignorance in the seclusion of other bigots. Ah that feels so much better. Honestly what a colossal idiot!!! ;D

Well not relaly the point of the moaning thread or as I like to cal it Sidhe's personal catharsis centre. But let's bump this thread back to the top so we can offer Necrominous an avenue to rant at me without bothering the rest of the civ community, and actually having the decency to stop posting in Whiplashes thread despite being asked not to.
Here's your rant room, feel free to throw your toys around till your blue in the face.

I haven't played in seven days but since I've had the kiss of death placed on me in the last couple of months I doubt anyone cares and frankly I'm getting pissed off with the game, I really don't understand what is going on? I know I hate the way the game is now with the patch, but my luck is horrendous! If I am in a cton I will have no resources almost guaranteed, if I am on your team you will lose. Mind you I once played twenty futures in a row in c3c and lost on every one. And believe me sometimes I never even saw the enemy? Plus I was on some nuts hot players sides too. I am also good at teamers I listen and I work well as a team, you can be assured though if I am on your team you might as well report before the game starts you're toast so my luck just bemuses me. Maybe I should give up CIV it seems if I can get shafted I will and badly ;D Miraculously though on the French league I'm doing famously, and I always have good land or at least an early resource? Strange that Yes folks I cannot wait until this stinky pile of horse manure is patched back to something resmebling something half decent and not the enormous pile of festering crap it is now. No wonder people are wondering back To C3c or just not bothering we've had to put up with this pile for nearly 2 months.
