Abaddon Jan 29, 2006, 10:08 PM Hello new people! [party]
Welcome Back old people!:clap:
And if anyones going for a little extended jaunt away from our beloved OT, please warn us here so we dont think you have passed away.
And please note: This isn't a discussion thread. If you want to chat about things with people - do it via IM, the chat room or PM.
And remember: If you're only going away for a day or two, chances are that no-one cares, and there's not much point in spamming... err... 'posting' it here.
Ultima Dragoon Jan 29, 2006, 10:10 PM What's wrong with the other thread?
*edit*
Ah, I see the old thread is too big. Fair enough.
Narz Jan 29, 2006, 10:25 PM hi, I'm still here. :)
ainwood Jan 29, 2006, 10:31 PM And please note: This isn't a discussion thread. If you want to chat about things with people - do it via IM, the chat room or PM.
Birdjaguar Jan 30, 2006, 12:03 AM Welcome back Narz.
Lozzy_Ozzy Feb 02, 2006, 04:31 PM Well, this is kinda special for me in a number of ways:
1) I got to start the new thread! ;).
2) Some of you may have noticed, but I haven't posted in a few days, and my posting has been down fairly recently too, well, i'm not gonna be here as much as I used to be, I only really even popped on now to check out something else on the net. So don't expect to see too much of me around here anymore (I know, I know... i'll be back :rolleyes: ).
3) I finally changed my avatar (again)! I think I must have had that one for longer than ever (for me)...
4) This looks like i'm spamming now... I best get back to the point.
So post whenever you have to leave, when you arrive, or if you just got here!
Remember people, don't spam this up with pointless "i'll be gone for a few hours" posts - no one cares :p.
The old thread. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=111008)
Cheers :goodjob:
Ozzy
EDIT: Just realised... my 2400th post! According to Perf that makes me a regular ;).
AVN Feb 02, 2006, 04:42 PM Hmm, there is already such a thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=156741)
I wonder which one is official ?
Anyway, having more than one such thread is confusing.

So yeah, um, I'm back technically (if you read I had left).
I guess it is true all those stories about how CFC... and how you can never truely leave :P. Though I really won't be on much (unless you include chat where I will drop by more often) and even less posting (to many of you peoples' happiness) so to all you people that still have yet to put me on your ignore list I won't be "spamming" OT or whatever new derogatory term you associate me that I deny.
My vacation in Pebble Beach (where I went for the week) was nice if anyone cares :).
So inconclusion see you around:wavey:.

WildFire Feb 11, 2006, 08:03 PM This is mainly aimed at the chatroom crowd seeing as I don't post nearly as often as I used to..
Come tomorrow or Monday, I'll be moving into an apartment with some friends that is closer to my college so I won't have to commute as far. Not to mention the fact I want to get out of this house and try living on my own and see how I like it ;)
Only thing is that I'm not bringing this computer to the apartment so I'll be without internet access (unless I use my roomates PC but I'm only gonna use theirs for word and excel etc) which means no CFC and IRC.
So.. see ya all during spring break and then in late May :)

h4ppy Feb 14, 2006, 03:25 PM Hello. I am back.
Now for some Q and A.
Q: I thought you said that there was no point in posting here anymore, why are you back?
A: There isn't, but I am bored so I decided to return anyways.
Q: Did you get Civ IV to work yet?
A: No. :(
Q: Good, I hate you.
A: That isn't a question.
Q: Are you still a wacky extremist?
A: I am a lot less libertarian but by no means normal.
Q: Do you still hate Europe?
A: No, but I am not a fan.
That about covers the entirety of my life in the past four or so months.

Well I'm going home for spring break. I may stop in occasionally, but me and my puppy dog have a LOT of playing to catch up on, so it is doubtful I will have time for you all!
So for the next few days you'll just have to mentally insert my posts making fun of all your silly false maturity.

Just for the sake of argument, wouldn't saying you know this from "personal experience" mean that you had learned this after your ban, which means you had been banned, which you have now just mentioned, which would be against the exact rule prohibiting mentioning that you had been banned? :crazyeye:

Chicago was very very fun and educational. There was a dude playing the saxophone on the street corner and he was cool.
The downside: I had a sinus infection. Mmm, nothing like some azythromicin to take care of that pesky mucus.
RameNoodle Mar 21, 2006, 06:18 PM So, I'm not really new, but I don't think that many people know me, on here at least. So I guess I'm just popping in to let it be known that I plan to become a more regular poster here.

schmiddi Mar 23, 2006, 11:14 AM Back from Teneriffa.
Anything unusual (for CFC standards) happened?
classical_hero Mar 27, 2006, 05:20 AM I will be much more infrequent here since OT is too much of a distraction for me, so I will be cutting my hours here. Also recently work has picked up so that means that my time will be cut short also, so it is a double whammy.
Arachnaphobia Mar 27, 2006, 11:36 AM I'm leaving for about two months. I'm trying to get rid of all distractions before my exams in may (football manager just got deleted) and CFC OT is one of them. So, I'll be back by late may, and if I'm seen lurking/posting on here before then, tell me to go away! I really need to get down to some hardcore revising.
MjM Mar 27, 2006, 11:52 AM I'm back! From a 'vaction'. :mischief:
h4ppy Mar 30, 2006, 09:16 PM I am going away again, in disgust. I bet I'll be banned or something for this post but here it goes. Over the month and a half or so since I've seen my feelings change from the bordom that drove me away before to the utter hatred I have for many of the people here now. I was originally going to name names again but since it will just be erased I think I'll go with a more general list.
1. Hypocrits. Not really much to say about it but it is prevelent here.
2. Stupid debates, I know I've posted my fair share of dumb stuff over the years but its getting ridiculous.
3. Poor/uneven/too strict admining. I remember reading an admin complain that people were going around the language barrier and that this was not permisable. yet when I report people for going around the censor I see that the admins do nothing about it. I also not that the admins crack down on some people way more than they do on others. As for the strictness, I find that I am unable to post a negative opinion on anything without fear of being banned, so I am not going to post here anymore.
4. Retreads. I think I complained about this last time but this is slightly different. These are direct retreads, worthless things like them should be closed and deleted. Like lets say a "Flame Warriors" thread, which seems to pop up every third month or so. Oh and that are you mentally ill thread thats been posted at least ten times.
5. The people. There are about twenty-five or so people on my ignore list. Around twenty-four have been added for stupid opinions, (most are liberals but I have some conservative idiots in it as well,) two for being just plain stupid, and Stapel, for a stupid "don't call it soccer" post in sports. I really hate that **** even though I do actually like soccer. There's a reason that I don't post in the sports forum here and stupid crap like that is one of the big reasons that I don't.
6. I still can't get CIVIV to work. And its pissing me off, Oblivion can't keep me occupied forever.
7. Elitism. It doesn't come up often but it is here and I hate it.
8. I won't be back again. Seriously this is it.
Fifty Mar 30, 2006, 09:32 PM Before your post gets deleted (which I hope it doesn't!) let me be the first to say that I'm probably not the only person to agree with most of what you have said, although I generally just be annoying rather than get mad.

Narz Mar 30, 2006, 11:18 PM Cheers h4ppy, accenuate the positive, eliminate the negative. All the best on your noncivfanatical travels.
I'm moving to San Diego county, California (from New Jersey) so I will be on the road with my girlfriend, two cats and a car filled to the brim. I won't have internet until April 6th (unless I can somehow get it at a motel along the way).
Once there I'm going to focus on "getting a life" - making friends, finding work, getting in a positive routine. I love this forum and enjoy my time here and have no regrets but I definitely will be focusing more attention on my flesh and blood (as opposed to virtual) life in the future.
I will definitely be stopping by from time to time (probably once, twice a week or more) though. I love this little community!
Oh, and I fixed the link in my sig. :)
Abaddon Mar 31, 2006, 05:19 AM everyone comes back... because everywhere else suffers the same problems, only worse.
Richard Cribb Mar 31, 2006, 06:47 AM A busload of :cry: .
Don't worry, there will be enough cry-babies left to pass on your heritage of immature rants.
Good luck in growing up.:)

i think he will be back.
anyway he is very right wing, but he is entitled to that, i dont have a problem with right wing people as long as they can keep discussions civil, and a big majority of them do.
you didnt explain what your sig means?
Sidhe Mar 31, 2006, 07:16 AM I am going away again, in disgust. I bet I'll be banned or something for this post but here it goes. Over the month and a half or so since I've seen my feelings change from the bordom that drove me away before to the utter hatred I have for many of the people here now. I was originally going to name names again but since it will just be erased I think I'll go with a more general list.
1. Hypocrits. Not really much to say about it but it is prevelent here.
2. Stupid debates, I know I've posted my fair share of dumb stuff over the years but its getting ridiculous.
3. Poor/uneven/too strict admining. I remember reading an admin complain that people were going around the language barrier and that this was not permisable. yet when I report people for going around the censor I see that the admins do nothing about it. I also not that the admins crack down on some people way more than they do on others. As for the strictness, I find that I am unable to post a negative opinion on anything without fear of being banned, so I am not going to post here anymore.
4. Retreads. I think I complained about this last time but this is slightly different. These are direct retreads, worthless things like them should be closed and deleted. Like lets say a "Flame Warriors" thread, which seems to pop up every third month or so. Oh and that are you mentally ill thread thats been posted at least ten times.
5. The people. There are about twenty-five or so people on my ignore list. Around twenty-four have been added for stupid opinions, (most are liberals but I have some conservative idiots in it as well,) two for being just plain stupid, and Stapel, for a stupid "don't call it soccer" post in sports. I really hate that **** even though I do actually like soccer. There's a reason that I don't post in the sports forum here and stupid crap like that is one of the big reasons that I don't.
6. I still can't get CIVIV to work. And its pissing me off, Oblivion can't keep me occupied forever.
7. Elitism. It doesn't come up often but it is here and I hate it.
8. I won't be back again. Seriously this is it.
You should lighten up a bit, if their are 25 people on your ignore list, it's your problem not theirs, the size of ignore list is inversely proportional to your ability to acknowledge others points of view.
Also if you think you've seen Elitism wait till you get a game invovled, long serving members of a gaming community can practically walk willy nilly over the rules with little or no chastisement( I realise there is a game involved here but this is mostly a SP community, correct me if I'm wrong, you should see the blatant favouritism in the MP community it's hilarious) However it's just the way the system works, mods and people out there are far more likely to forgive a friend than a loud mouth or trouble maker you barely know, trust me I can be quite argumentative and a cause of trouble myself, for me it's nice to be a scape goat or to stir the pot, something I do occsionaly in forum situations just to play Devil's advocate and encourage debate(it's not meant to mock or cause harm but I'll use very emotive prose to get people discussing a situation) the key is not to go to far and just piss people off, if you're that annoying to other people be they mods or the regular community that your consistently in trouble, then it's your problem not theirs. Maybe you need a little more maturity, I'm not sure how old you are but being an anarchist to encourage debate is fine, doing it to wind people up deliberately , Or just being a bad tempered poster is pretty sad, you also seem like a very selfish person to me, which won't help you either.
Kayak Mar 31, 2006, 07:32 AM You should lighten up a bit, if their are 25 people on your ignore list, it's your problem not theirs, the size of ignore list is inversely proportional to your ability to acknowledge others points of view.
This is the way I see it as well. I never put someone on the ignore list. You neve know what they may say that you find you agree with at some point.
Next: h4ppy, Mods may not be perfect, but they are pretty darn good for people who do this part time out of a feeling of shared responcibility. If they got paid maybe I'd feel differently. You have to respect their time and effort even if you don't always agree.
Richard Cribb Mar 31, 2006, 07:39 AM :D

I have no problems with right-wing people either, my friend, and I agree that most of them here are civil. But I can't stomach rudeness and immaturity in one
package, and I think his post above demonstrates that in abundance beyond any reasonable doubt.
Re ignorance-list: I used it a couple of times, but for personal rather than ideological reasons.

Re ignorance-list: I used it a couple of times, but for personal rather than ideological reasons.
no i know, i was speaking more in general terms. i havent talked much to h4ppy so i wouldnt know.
he did say that he didnt have a problem with the british soldiers beating up the iraqi kids, and i didnt like that. a thing like should be about right or wrong, not about politics.
Richard Cribb Mar 31, 2006, 09:33 AM no i know, i was speaking more in general terms. i havent talked much to h4ppy so i wouldnt know.
I think I only had one exchange of opinions with him, and that was about elementary historical facts or mind-numbing tedium if you so wish.
But just notice for one thing in his "brilliant" post here his reason for putting one specific poster, mentioned by name, on his ignore-list.
That speaks volumes.
he did say that he didnt have a problem with the british soldiers beating up the iraqi kids, and i didnt like that. a thing like should be about right or wrong, not about politics.
I completely agree.
Urederra Mar 31, 2006, 09:57 AM Good luck in your new location, Narz.

Rambuchan Mar 31, 2006, 10:01 AM A right winger you can't stand elitism?? :lol:
You're leaving cos they use the term soccer in the sports thread? :crazyeye:
See ya h4ppy.
BCLG100 Mar 31, 2006, 05:32 PM well its true what stapel says, its football not soccer....
Sidhe Mar 31, 2006, 05:57 PM Erm I'm missing the point here obviously, yes in the 15th century football was banned on the holy day to make sure people practiced the art of the Bowman in England? Yoemanry were forced into practicing the Bow to defend their country against the French. So yes it is football, in the original sense? What are we talking here? The fact that football was invented in England in the traditional sense, or the fact that many of our colonies changed the game, for example American football was based on a mixture of rugby and soccer? Sorry I'm confused here? Football in England is football, any other sport is something else, we invented it we provide the nomnative. If anyone wants to argue what football is invent a time machine destroy the game of the 15th century to the 19th and then try and destroy the FA, that took football into the 20th century?
Sorry I'm obviously missing the point but why would anyone argue that football is anything but an English game based on the fact we invented it? Soccer is football, Australian rules football is football, but based on the original game, Rugby football is based on the people who first picked up a ball and ran with it in their hands?
I'm afraid soccer is just football in a prepackaged foreign form, we invented it 600 years ago and we have the rights to it, get over yourself. The English also invented Baseball based on rounders and cricket, we even won the first world series? Because it was actually a world series before the US grabbed it and only played it amongst themselves. Jeez what is he talking about?
Football is ours we own the rights by 600 years over you, please calm down we were the first to kick a ball through a goal.
Erm am I missing the point here or is this guy just mental?
punkbass2000 Mar 31, 2006, 07:30 PM You've certainly missed the point of the thread. Now someone should be along shortly to tell us not to discuss issues here. :)
Jawz II Apr 01, 2006, 04:58 AM hey, anybody remember Yom? what happened to him?
I wonder if he will be back...
Atlas14 Apr 01, 2006, 06:07 AM Im back after having been slightly addicted to myspace for a while. Don't think I'll be on too much next month or so though cause of lacrosse and doing work for AP classes but Im gonna try. I hope at least someone noticed I was gone :) .
downtown Apr 01, 2006, 09:08 AM Yom posts every once in a while. I think that Princeton is hard work :)
Jawz II Apr 01, 2006, 09:53 AM he is goin to princeton? i thought he lived in africa, or maybe he is an african living in america?
anyway, its good to know things are goin well for him, thanks.
Till Apr 01, 2006, 09:58 AM Jawz: He used to have "Recently admitted into Princetown" in his sig for a while.
Birdjaguar Apr 01, 2006, 10:45 AM Yom took my avatar for today.

Not here, but elsewhere there are some new ones. I started playing a NES game and I get to have great fun with verse in that.

WildFire Apr 01, 2006, 11:17 PM Yeah I know :P
As for next year, I haven't decided yet if I'm going to stay with the guys I'm livin with now or stay at home.
It'd be a lot easier if I had my own PC, maybe I'll just buy one :P Only problem is, if I do decided to live on my own I'd be taken off my fathers insurance and my car insurance would double
IglooDude Apr 03, 2006, 01:04 PM Just stopping by to say I'll be back soon when the dust settles, we've had some serious technical difficulties over the weekend in the office and mostly have a handle on them, at which point I'll be catching up on some sleep.

Dunno, it's just a short 'break'. I'm still lurking OT, but with less enthusiasm... That will probably change. I may post in a thread or two, but no more spamming. ;)

Thanks, you are a great guy! :)

Abaddon May 02, 2006, 03:14 PM sadly thats a legal requirement :( Otherwise... BUT please consider me a new person.
Fifty May 03, 2006, 01:17 AM Well, I'm heading back to Washington for an amazing five month summer break (it works out to be so long because the college I'm at now ends early, and the college I start at next fall starts late).
There is much to do back home, and so I will not be on here NEARLY as much. I may be absent altogether, but I would wager that I'll at least be stopping by every now and then.
You'll also probably notice that when I do post it will be much less cynical and bitter, because I'll be near the ocean and near my dog: two things that put me in a great mood.
So I'll see ya'll around, but don't expect a whole lot out of me over the next five months or so. :cooool:
NOTE that I'm not leaving really until tomorrow afternoon so I'll be around tons until then! :p
*I reserve the right to, for whatever reason, become readdicted to CFC back home and spend just as much time posting there as I do here.

Irish Caesar May 04, 2006, 03:39 PM I'm heading up North for the summer...and I expect not to have a nice, Georgia Tech-provided, fast internet connection that I can sit around on all day.
I'll be back in August, with a chance of scattered posts over the summer...
It's been cool talkin' with y'all!
Till May 04, 2006, 03:41 PM Enjoy the summer, Irish!
Abaddon May 04, 2006, 03:55 PM I wish i had duel residence!
Lozzy_Ozzy May 04, 2006, 04:31 PM Seeya Irish.
And while I am here, I will be gone for a short while over the weekend (from tomorrow to Sunday) to Glasgow for my grandparent's 50th anniversary! Almost all of my family will be going, even those now in Aussie land.

And while I am here, I will be gone for a short while over the weekend (from tomorrow to Sunday) to Glasgow for my grandparent's 50th anniversary! Almost all of my family will be going, even those now in Aussie land.

stop in at casa de BCLG on the way up ;)
WillJ May 05, 2006, 09:48 PM Well guys, I'll be gone for a week starting tomorrow. I'll be in Indianapolis, competing in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
I'll be sure to post the results when I get back! :D
downtown May 06, 2006, 01:11 AM I'm heading up North for the summer...and I expect not to have a nice, Georgia Tech-provided, fast internet connection that I can sit around on all day.
I'll be back in August, with a chance of scattered posts over the summer...
It's been cool talkin' with y'all!
Have a great summer my friend. :goodjob:
The Last Conformist May 06, 2006, 08:18 AM sadly thats a legal requirement :( Otherwise... BUT please consider me a new person.
Why do you want us to consider you a new person, if I may ask?
Abaddon May 06, 2006, 08:34 AM Well if we had a show of hands for who actually "liked" slozenger's style.. i doubt there would be many takers.. I feel i stood on a few too many toes etc. I hope this is a chance for a new and/or improved me.
I can't promise much- its very easy to lapse, no offence Ainwood, but i hope our paths will cross less in the future.
So yeah, i know most will learn to see me as slozenger still, but the mind pays tricks- i think people pay attention to the username more than anything.
Long live the new persona- :evil: Abaddon :evil:
Tycoon101 May 06, 2006, 12:24 PM Someone who is very cool to me has left... Narz's avatar! Why did he let his:king: be switched with some other guy? Why?:cry:
Lozzy_Ozzy May 07, 2006, 05:02 PM Hey guys, i'm back from my weekend.
It was a great time... and the only time I think I will ever see a 72 year old relative drunk, ever, again.
I did write a large account of all my many goings on but sadly I lost it all in an unfortunate tragedy... maybe some other time.
slip79 May 08, 2006, 02:49 AM Hey all,
You may or may not have missed me. If not, meh, all good.
I've been wrapped up in my girlfriend and her visit to my home town for the last month or so. I did go see HIM and the Rolling Stones in that period tho. So it was a good time. :D
So now I'm back lurking and posting at random times.
mrtn May 08, 2006, 07:08 AM Welcome back, Lozzy and slip.
:)
Richard Cribb May 11, 2006, 01:20 PM I will be gone tomorrow and the coming week, but I will perhaps drop in a couple of times during that time if possible.
In the meantime, have a nice time everybody.:)
nonconformist May 11, 2006, 02:40 PM See you when you come back, Tovarish :)
goodyhut May 12, 2006, 08:49 PM Hey guys! I havn't posted in OT forum in... well, YEARS lol - I am currently waiting for some feedbac to some threads I started in civ4 modification and custimization and I thought I would check out the OT. I am also posting my pic in the Member Photos VII thread so you can put a face with the name.
Birdjaguar May 13, 2006, 12:33 AM Welcome Goodyhut. Go Tarheels!
Abaddon May 13, 2006, 07:06 AM A less hairy face.. had you made a pact not to cut your hair while away from CFC ;)
WillJ May 13, 2006, 01:47 PM Well, I'm back. ISEF was fun and very worthwhile, even though I left award-less. Some of the projects (and students) there were mindboggling. Very inspiring. I got to meet Intel's two senior research fellows; there were also three Nobel laureates there, but I didn't get to see them. Funnily enough, one of my judges was a former investment banker (my project was an experimental economics project, mind you), and I also met an economics professor who was nice enough to offer me help in getting my findings published (although I have my doubts that my stuff is good enough for that---but it's worth trying!).
And I actually started what may become an ISEF tradition, although it involves a certain illegal activity, so I won't go into detail....
The 777 Hoax May 19, 2006, 02:10 PM In about an hour, I'm leaving to go to Cincinatti for the weekend and won't be back until Monday evening. I know everyone will miss me. :p
Paalikles May 19, 2006, 03:37 PM I m staying away till 1st of June. I hope
Some 2 days worth of exams to prepare for, a degree to earn. You know.
tomsnowman123 May 19, 2006, 03:39 PM A little late but.. I am a new arrival. I have got some nice welcomes already, and some comments about my sig. After being a guest on this forum for a while, I decided to join in and contribute to the always interesting debate that goes on.
El_Machinae May 19, 2006, 03:51 PM Well, we're happy to see you!
tomsnowman123 May 19, 2006, 03:55 PM Well, we're happy to see you!
Thank you!
Xanikk999 May 22, 2006, 02:43 PM A post like that is liable to earn a ban.
The 777 Hoax May 22, 2006, 04:29 PM Yay! I'm back. Camp was fun. I was in downtown Cincinnati (probably didn't spell that right) at 2 in the morning. It was crazy. We saw someone stealing hubcaps off of someone's car. I don't get to go to the big city that often :p.
Abaddon May 30, 2006, 05:03 AM Well the CIA have finished their investigations, and so i am allowed to use the internet again.
Glad to be back, ya miss me? ;)
Paalikles May 30, 2006, 07:40 AM I have returned!

classical_hero May 30, 2006, 08:30 AM Same here. You never really left.
Perfection May 30, 2006, 11:25 AM The sky grows dark, a great tempest moves in. The wind howls with the ferocity of the pained shrieks of hell, and the lightning strikes in the most destructive glory. The land is devestated by deadly vortices. In the middle appears a dark figure seemingly ammune to all the chaos that surrounds him. You look at his cloaked face and all you can see is two glowing red eyes.
Perfection has returned!
thetrooper May 30, 2006, 11:51 AM ^
Mod help us all!

Tycoon101 May 30, 2006, 05:14 PM welcome back, where you been?
He has been on vacation.
Thank you Perfection for finally posting the EPYC results, we have been waiting for 2 MONTHS!
Sahkuhnder May 31, 2006, 01:34 PM I'm not quite as eloquent as Perfection, but I'm back from a restful vacation too. :)
The 777 Hoax May 31, 2006, 01:58 PM I won't be posting for a few days... I have to hope my body can get rid of whatever illness this is, and then I'm going to camp for the weekend.
Abaddon Jun 01, 2006, 11:35 AM From tomorro i'll be off on a week long field trip up to the Isle of Cumbrea... should be fun.
Enjoy the extra bandwidth ;)
