Interesting topic besides the Ascesion rambling - btw you really have to see someone about having your prescription modified. Oh warning I apologize for gushing so, but we all can't cloaked our feelings as well as you. Look at you wearing that shroud of secrecy, trying to conceal yourself from the world, which can sometimes be a hurtful and scary place, being a man of such sternness, making sure not to allow the chance of disappointment to enter your protective shield. I'll try not to babble uncontrollably this time and keep it short, with only one final statement. I'm warning you too, that I'll think you are a precious thread in this tapestry of life, no matter how reticent you are with your inner feelings. Come hear, a big bear hug is in order. Look at that smirk. Warms my heart it does. I can tell you really needed that. And this is a fascinating subject. Please continue.

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. Ive been away in christmas break. Jesus christ - someone asked me the exploits and I list them up as best i know. (not only exploits but tricks) Ive not done them myself but its stuff ive picked up while playing the pro's - like the drop and fastmove stuff thats like the "hallmark" of mud clan, the pause and use great person ive picked up from civfanatics forums. Dont assume ive used them myself because I list them up. I listed them up to discuss what is an exploit and what is not as some of them are in the grey area and others are not. And dont you f**king assume ive been using them myself as I dont...

Seriously this makes me angry, the reason I even LIST the exploits is so that people are aware of them and doesnt use them. Why on earth would I even list up this stuff if I was going to use it myself. Warning2u I dont know your aggenda but why are you out to stomp me ?
Christ. Merry xmas to you too.

Finaly im quite angry by this but I dont have time to make any smart comments so ill keep with the wtf u suck tone: First about my english, if you cannot understand it then wow..your VERY good at english yourself buddy - you see there is this thing called 2 way communication - clearly something you havent understood. (if you cannot understand my english what does that say of your OWN understanding of english..) Who cares if my punctations are off in a thread like this - im not bloody writing a university essay... (That I btw do with A grades, both english and my natural language norwegian.) And what the hell does that even have to do with the discussion? Clearly others understand me just fine. No your obviously out to be against me somehow - dont know why to be honest? Maybe you could tell me? Ive not harmed any baby seals ! Then the second thing, ive made a discussion about the grey areas of civ4 tricks, isnt it natural to list up tricks / cheats to discuss them ? Does listing up stuff mean I use it? If you say list up ways to cheat at an exam do you nececearly cheat at the exam ? And even worse, if your discussing whats allowed at the exam (a perfect analogy to what is allowed in a civ4 game) isnt it natural to list up what you might do at an exam and discuss what is allowed or not ? GRRR!!!!! Im so mad i could expload. Honestly I dont cheat and I wouldnt have listed up all this stuff if i wasnt asked and my agenda was to make people AWARE of it. Ask anyone, when the universal suffrage bug was out - i was among the first to tell everyone so nobody could cheat with it, when the shift que trick (could add indian workers f.ex to german civ) was discovered, I again was one of the first to let everyone here at civ4players know of it so it couldnt be abused (just search the forum threads man...) And now when the great person pause exploit was found , I again was the one who posted about it here on the forums - tell me does that make any sense with me beeing a cheater ? Wouldnt I want to shut up about stuff like this if I wanted to cheat? Anyways im sick of all the politics, wheeling and dealing and everything else. Im going to go back and enjoy playing civ4 with my friends and anyone is welcome to play with me. I think actions speaks much better than words, and I invite anyone to play with me and see that im a honorable player. I report right after a match if I loose, I try to be polite and nice to everyone on my team and I try to not be to ego boosting and thinking im the best etc. Finaly if someone cheats on my team id tell the other team and made sure the game was scrapped (ive done this twice in my life of civ4 online mp gaming.) So cya all in the lobby and lets have fun during this xmas period instead of discussing and arguing Willburn. Honest civ4 player.

This is just wonderful! Seeing the ladder community act in such a way. It brings so much joy to my heart. Everyone wishing each other a Merry Christmas and being in such a delightful holiday spirit. It's a thing of pure beauty. I'm so proud of all you lovable guys. Please Don't do it Ascension. Ding darn it once the floodgates open they're hard to close. Thank you for the tissue. Try to keep up that goodwill all year long. I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and a harmonious New Year!
