Don't. Just don't. I'm excited for CivBE and disagree witha lot of the points JokerJace is making, but excluding people from a fandom because they don't like something is dumb.
You're 100% correct. My only thing is we're on a place called Civ Fanatics, what does that mean? It doesn't mean we hate the franchise. Who in their sane mind would spend their time on a forum of a game they hate? The Civ IV rocks, Civ V sucks crowd can certainly express that, but if that's the way I felt guess which forum I'd be posting in....yes indeed, Civ IV. To those who say I'm posting all this negative stuff endlessly so they will fix it. Make your point, as the mods point out, everyone is allowed their opinion. Do you need to make the same point 500 times? Nope.
There was a game many years ago I hated. I bought it, posted my thoughts, tried to like it and my final post to the forum was to explain why I thought it sucked.
Anyway, must just be me.
edit: That game was called Rise and Rule of Ancient Empires. I sure looked good....didn't play so hot.
edit2: That post wasn't directed at Jokerface by the way, it was much more general.
