Well that's why we have this thread.

Well if plako resigns because of CFC I would just do the following:

1) Log in, change all our builds to knights and queue up ten knights in each.
2) Offer peace to the Germans.
3) Declare war on CFC.
4) Retire to AI.

They organized this retarded farce of a game and they can deal with the game's largest empire being an AI. Or they can just declare victory, that's what they've been waiting to do all along anyway.

Personally I would have expected more cautiousness and extra special care from a team requesting reload to leave the game paused after they play, so teams who must play play too can have this chance.

Is he seriously implying we deliberately did this to fuck civFr over? What an absolute cock head.

While I'm all for ignoring 2metraninja and he is being needlessly provocative, he is correct here. Team RB didn't act sportsmanlike after the reload had been granted.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width

I'm not saying we didn't fuck up by not pausing, we quite clearly did, but my interpretation of 2metra's post is that we did it to screw civFr over. I'm pretty sure that wasn't even close to the truth.

I don't see that in his post Azza - he just says we were careless and gives the reason. The pause after a reload is something 2metra has been keen on because he wants the game to be scrupulously fair, while we don't like it because everything is slow enough already. I guess in this case he's right...

Um, am I ranting at the wrong team? tongue

I don't see how unwittingly playing in a way that needs to be rolled back can be unsportsmanlike. I mean, I don't think anyone here knew we were supposed to leave time for CivFr to play and intentionally withheld that information from scooter so we could get free scouting info the first time playing it.

I think 2metra's post was unnecessarily adding petty criticism of a team / attempted diplo to a thread that's supposed to be above all of that.

Hey look, CFC is trying to sabotage a game in which they are losing. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD DO SUCH A THING. Screw those guys.

I'm actually curious what was said that made Plako resign. For all his general being-a-jerk-ness, he also wrote over there that he supported Plako's decision to reload.
