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.

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)

EDIT: Just realised... my 2400th post! According to Perf that makes me a regular ;).

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

Got a new suit and all :).

Maybe I will see Curt there, who knows ;).

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:

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.

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.

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....

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.

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!
