In search of Forum Rules

[Instar]

We laughed most of the haters out a long time ago... very different from other games. Usually you will get ninnies all over the place in other game forums. SEIV is a great place to be. ("Space Empires IV: A great place to live!")
Anyhow, Civ3 wasn't the worst game Ive played, nor the best. It simply is Civ3 (with a lot that could be better, but I still had some fun)

Tanks for the feedback peeps, I'll play it by ear, which shouldn't be too hard, espeically with my ears.

Are ya saying that CIV is kinda like the H.I.V. of the game world? nahhh, its not THAT bad... I've played it........ once!

I do recall at least one poster who seemed to have psychologically "snapped." Started out just fine...
but turned way abusive. I mean, baffling! Like they went off meds cold turkey. I think their ultimate removal was handled well. It wasn't like they didn't get many many repeated warnings to be civil.

heh, i dont know if i would go comparing civ to a std. i played civ 1 ALOT. and liked it, even for its failings. but all the other games in the same serise and in the same tradition have played EXACTLY the same, and have had EXACTLY the same failings. sure, there was more eye candy and more stuff, and more options.. but the experience was the same. no new gameplay.

and all the old irritating bits with the cheating AI and poorly balanced battles remained forever unchanged.

but thats a topic for another thread, we dont need to hijack THIS thread with civ gripes. enough good threads have fallen into that trap already.

No, hiv is a lot worse than civ3. if hiv kills you, you can't reload the game of life.

Puke alludes to a good point. In genearl try not to "hijack a thread". That is post tooo much Off Topic content.

Ahhhhhh, you mean like in the Great Canadian Joke thread?

Sorry if I went off topic, but since I was in search of Forum rules, my doing so helped me learn something new about the Intel Forums, namely about the also unwritten off topic rule. The rules of real life apply in the forums as well.

I'm slow, but I'm learning. Now where can I find me a copy of these unwritten rules I need to learn?

Kaladaar:
I think we newbies have to make our own list of rules.
So far I have learned:
1: Don't make jokes about GT in the Cantina (unless you are a masochist)
2: Don't highjack threads, unless its to,
- A: To complain about double postings.
- B: Bash Civ3.
