@Leif....you were not in this game.....unless you have multiple accounts. I am familiar enough with your voice that I think I would have recognized you in a year of playing. You were in the game I joined right before I totally gave up. In that game, everyone I allied with disappeared NMRed immediately after I altered my plans. I had three different allied NMR.

Be thankful. The game was horrible and filled with pretty nasty insults, even in the global forum. The three cheaters were all banned within an hour of the game being drawn. I had irritated the three cheaters enough that they accepted a draw as soon as I was eliminated. Six player drew and three of those were a cheaters coalition of metagamers.

I only brought it up because a cancel would have been much fairer to me (and one other person who posted on the now closed thread) than crediting the draw and just banning the cheaters.

If you have given up why are you still here?

@ gopher
you talking about our 100 buy-in modern game.
ughh, sadly I remember that year of misery.

the discourse in that game makes the closed thread sound like a tea party

Hands down, worst game I've ever been a part of. And many players didn't even see the gobs of really ugly private press some of us were receiving.

I love you, too, Jimbozig.

@G-Man....I'm still willing to accept an apology for your false accusations during that game.

lol, I knew that was coming

And I'm still not willing to accept an apology for your degrading, insulting, delusional, obsessive, and appalling behavior in that game.

Delusional? Obsessive? Mr. Pot meet Mr. Kettle. As for degrading, insulting and appalling, I did not characterize you as being unethical in any way to my knowledge. We both know that you cannot make such a claim about how you behaved towards others.

You made specific accusations against multiple people which were demonstrated to be false. Adults and emotionally mature and well-balanced people apologize in such situations. It is precisely one of the hallmarks of maturity and adulthood. As I stated at the time, I don't even necessarily ask that you apologize to me, since you obviously have irrational issues with me. I would think you a less small and immature person if you merely apologized to a certain someone else from the game whom you also slandered.

It warms my heart to know that I still have this effect on you after all of this time.

@ gopher..

Thanks for the clarification, and glad to hear it (not about your abysmal time in that game, but that I was not the subject of your comments)!

I didn't think you and I had any issues, and I'd enjoy playing with you again sometime if ever you succumb to the temptation to join another game.

(That known world game was a 7 day phase game that was drawn as well, so hence my confusion.)

On another note:

'I am familiar enough with your voice that I think I would have recognized you in a year of playing'

Am I really that distinctive that I can be picked out of a crowd of anon players? You aren't the first I've heard this from...

Lastly, apologies Oli for posting immediately after you posted for everyone to stop on that closed thread. Really, you ninja'd my post, but it made it look like I was continuing after you said stop. Whoops! :(
