Scrap..... Scrap.... as in argue.... fight. I'm think you definitely have the wrong person in mind. I'm all about the positive and seeing the best in all individuals and making good long lasting friends. We should all intertwine that way of thinking into our everyday lives and the world would be a unbelievably peaceful place.
Zhenon, what has happened to you of late? Trying to instigate fights. The way you've been acting recently has me a nervous wreck. Worshiping the dark forces and preforming bizarre organ eating rituals. I could tell you needed direction in your life last we spoke, but I would have never imagined such a sudden decline. I feel I failed you. There must have been more I could have done, to divert you, from this path of destruction you are on.
Have you possibly lost someone close to you and this is your way of lashing out at the world that took them from you.
I'm not certain of the extent of the lose that occurred or is felt by Zhenon, so this goes out to all my ladder friends. Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who have transformed back to the life-force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to loose. The grand design will be know to all of us, when the given time comes. Whoa, sorry, that's a little more spiritual then I intended to get, but as I said earlier, I'm a complete basket case of nerves by this development in his behavior.
Oh gosh, Zhenon, please talk to me. I see all the emotion and hatred trapped inside you ready burst outward in all direction in raging flames of anger. These flames will singe the ones you hold dear, if you do not open up, and talk about this turmoil your experiencing, whatever it may be.
Maybe you think I won't understand and that only you can understand the pain your feeling. This may even be true but its still good to sift through and sort out the feelings out loud, to a caring ear.
If you won't discuss it with me and you feel lost. Then please, look within yourself. I'm sure this is not the person you want to become. The farther you go down this dark path, the harder it is to right the wrongs and return to who you were meant to be.
I'm sorry........ I have failed you zhenon....... I have failed you.
I had such high hopes for you. You were one of the chosen ones. You were suppose to help me enlighten the troubled members, not join. You were suppose to bring balance to the ladder, not leave it in darkness. You were my friend, Zhenon. I loved you.

Ascensions post touched me so I thought maybe a song would be appropriate. Sing it to the music of Last Kiss
Zhennon has left in spirit and in mind Lost and not looking we know he'll never find The great young man Accension thought he'd be And now Ascension mourns in misery
Zhennon has turned from Ascensions helping ways Does not seem to care how far he strays And now Ascension knows hes gone even though he holds him tight He really hopes and prays he'll return to him some night
Na nananana .............. na na na nanana na na nananana na na na nana
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:0
And I dedicate this song with the best of wishes to both Zhenon and Ascension

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about. As far as I know zhenon is fine, I played him yesterday. If this is some kind of joke its not funny, and its compleatly removing the topic of the thread. Oh well.

That is just a lovely poem. Is that a Dusty original? That flowing delight has helped to ease the tension in my burdened heart. I thank you so much for that gift. You know.......
Hold a minute..... What's that you say, Willburn...... You were with Zhenon the other day? How was he? When you see him again, I would appreciate it if you mention how concerned I am for him and how I will always be there for him if he needs me.
Oh... I see... I so glad Zhenon found someone new. Here I was getting all overly concern and blowing everything out of proportion like usual. I really need to learn how to control my emotions and take a step back and think before I go off the handle getting all nervous. Someone important in his life must have just left him and now he has meet a wonderful new special friend.
And you seem like such a fine person a character Willburn. The way you owned up to a past mistake, repented and asked to be re-accepted was inspiring. To know that he has teamed up with a man of such conviction leaves me believing Zhenon is not nearly as far off track as I once thought. Maybe you can inspire him to see his past wrong doings and correct them to become a more whole and balance individual. With your guidance, it sure seems possible.
You two do keep in touch with me, you hear. I can tell you both will develop an extremely tight bond in the future. And I would like to witness every step of that journey you two have embarked on together. Isn't that what we all search for in our lives, someone who will be there for us and understand us and care about us? I'm so glad you two have found that in each other and developed such a special friendship.
Oh and there Zhenon is now, come by to surprise you Will. It's easy to see that you guys enjoy each others company. O.K. then, enjoy the rest of the day together. Bye!

Interesting topic besides the Ascesion rambling - btw you really have to see someone about having your prescription modified.
I have been in a few games with people new to multiplay and having combat automation enabled is a common mistake. Ladder players are much more demanding to disable it - which comes down (to me anyway) the host is the person who needs to ensure its clearly identified at the beginning of the game that options are set properly. It takes 10 seconds to make the game more enjoyable for all.
I'm scratching my head a little where Willburn says he didn't know it was a cheat (I don't think it is when people are not aware that its common practice to disable it in multiplay) but he does seem to know so many questionable tactics and the reasons why. Some I don't understand so in the interest of being better informed ...
How do you have someone drop all queued movement on every player ? Not sure what this means.
Not sure what you mean here ... likely my inexperience with the subtleties of the game but what freeze ?
Brilliant ! Now I understand it was intentional ... and all this time I thought I was capturing workers because of my superior key/mouse dexterity ... not !
Not sure what this is ?
What the archers die ?
Any sort of deliberate pausing or causing a lag by downloading a file is cheating. Had I still been an admin this would get you tossed from the ladder.
Which brings me to .... really if you are using any of the tactics (which you obviously have experimented with), how is this skillful ? Do you still get any enjoyment out of the game ? I can't understand people who exploit things like this.
Thank you though for a most educational thread. Most important thing I've learned - not that I play that often anymore - don't play with Willburn.

The only cheats Willburn even mentioned were the drops. (BTW I don't think you could ever get an entire team of players to cheat like this) The other things are basic knowledge and do actually take some skill at times. I'm glad you don't play anymore because obviously you don't understand simple things in the game and would drive most people crazy. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and proving your ignorance of the game just to let people know not to play with willburn. That was nice of you. I personally find him one of the most knowledegable and fun people on the ladder to play with. Maybe you should play with him and try to learn some things and you wouldn't comment on simple things that you are unaware of. BTW, turning on combat animations, rofl, I never thought of that, but then again I'm a noob.

Really well then obviously I'm an ass. You're absolutely right I don't know Willburn and I don't know you. I'll tell you what next time I'm in the lobby I'll join the game you're hosting and drive you nuts. The reason I don't play with half the people on the ladder now is displayed here in this thread. Being admin and coping with all the nonsense made me sick. I left and check in once in a while to see what goes on ... to see if anything has changed. And then I see this thread. Come on the guy says I'm not a cheat and then goes on in the same thread to list all the ways you can exploit things. Does anyone else not see the irony ? I'm sure he's a decent bloke and a fine player but you have to admit that its most strange to list the exploits in the same thread where he pleads innocence. Yes I don't play as much with ladder players because to be quite honest to me ladder play just got so tired. Unfortunately for multi play there is no substitute. You can't get a decent game in the lobby that doesn't end prematurely. No game restarts after ending. You have no idea how lucky it is that the ladder exists. I'm not good a good player ... I'm the first to admit but I understand more than you think. Having said that I'd rather be ignorant in the "finer" points of the game. I have no desire to learn how to learn the exploits ... I was just trying to understand how its possible. I didn't understand his explanation in the thread. His overwhelming command of the English language and proper punctuation just confused me.

Some people earn respect, others simply expect( some both I suppose). Warning has earned the respect of many many players, including myself, long ago. I also have a great deal of respect for willbum aswell. I happened into a way to prevent the 'put on explore' move to have computer move a unit adjacent to empty city b4 human could move unit in... simply (if possible ) move a worker or other non combat unit into city. As far as I know this will thwart the manuver( i do not consider either a cheat, perhaps cheap though ).
